Key features for the RB55 Crop Sprayer.

Extreme durability and dependability.

The Bateman Variable Geometry (VG) spray boom is a compact, modular design constructed from strong, specially sourced lightweight steel.

Available in widths from 24m to 42m, the Variable Geometry spray boom is designed for medium to large-scale farm and contract spraying. This boom configuration is available as an option on the RB26 and RB35 and comes as standard on the RB55.

The new Bateman Boom Levelling system has been designed in-house to work with all our Variable Geometry booms across the range.

What this means for you…

• Available spray widths from 24m to 42m
• Hydraulic break-backs, at every fold point
• Can be fitted with Bateman Boom Levelling (BBL)
• In-house software gives maximum flexibility using positive and negative movement from horizontal
• Multi-width spraying options on all VG booms
• Capstan Ag PWM is an optional extra on the VG Boom

Raising the bar.

The Bateman Accurate Fertiliser system represents the ultimate even-flow fertiliser spraying system.

This innovative system is self-contained – the dribble bars are protected within the framework of the boom. Individual dribble bars are connected via an ingenious linking system forming a straight, solid line, which prevents accidental damage or twisting.

Automatic section control can reduce over application, turning sections on and off at field boundaries and previously applied areas. Real time crop information is available via sensors that measure crop vigour.

What this means for you…

• Advanced software stores field mapping information in the command display memory
• Visual screen guidance with integrated light bar
• Variable application rate via prescription, satellite or aerial imagery
• Electric or fully integrated, hydraulic GPS controlled steering systems
• Boom height control can be fitted via the command display
• Single spray line for easy application change with 4 settings via the stainless steel metering unit
• All functions can be managed via one command display

Hit the target every time.

Developed with our partner, Capstan AG, PinPoint III Envelop™ is the next generation of blended pulse width modulation (PWM) system. PinPoint III combines the pressure control and performance valve driving of PinPoint II but adds ISOBUS VT/UT compatibility along with full rate controller functionality, expanding the flow and pressure stability to another level of control all through compatible ISOBUS displays. Individual nozzle resolution on your primary display allows for synchronized as-applied maps and volume counters and easier operation per a prescription map.

Turn Compensation, Valve Diagnostics, easier nozzle profile changes, and setup are all redesigned to display and operate on the VT and continue to provide the operator-focused information that enable the most confident application possible.

The expanded speed and application rate ranges that PWM is known for are still present with even better pressure and rate stability. Further features include iOS/Android app-based software updates, the option to operate the system with even higher resolution on an iPad or tablet with increased overlap control*. The system is also compatible with see-and-spray control systems.

PinPoint II systems are able to be upgraded to PinPoint III to bring the new features to existing installations.

*Additional hardware required.

What this means for you…

• Wider application speed range, no over/under misapplication
• Drift management and turn compensation*
• Uniform pressure and droplet size, chemical and time savings
• Redesigned interface operates on VT
• Pinpoint II systems can be upgraded to Pinpoint III

*Turn compensation is a feature in pulse width modulation (PWM) sprayers in which nozzle output matches the boom’s speed during a turn.

Spray more accurately with BBL.

Bateman Boom leveling (BBL) is our proven boom leveling system. BBL enables spraying in all types of field and crop growth stage, under a vast range of light conditions and across a wide range of speeds.

Sensors constantly monitor the contours of the terrain for variations in height. This results in a more dynamic boom response, greater agility and a more stable machine environment when spraying across widths of up to 42m.

The BBL system has been designed to work with all our Variable Geometry (VG) booms.

What this means for you…

• No need to change any pre-programmed spray settings
• Boom adjusts laterally when spraying across or up an incline
• Boom height and consistency of spray are maintained when
  spraying in a dip
• Spray in mixed terrain during fading or low light conditions, or
  when working at night
• Smooth effortless boom control provides improved machine
  performance and reduced operator fatigue
• BBL can also be retro fitted to some older models with VG booms
