John Deere parallelogram design offers unmatched strength and stability.
All 500 Series Sprayers feature a stronger frame. This John Deere design surrounds the tank with 120 x 8 0x 5mm thick tubular steel. The lower link of the parallelogram bisects the tank in the centre, tying the frame, boom lift, and tractor together as a single, rigid unit.
Benefits of the parallelogram design include:
All-season long application (even in tall crops like oilseed rape and corn).
Ability to spray at lower heights to reduce drift (especially in pre-emerge applications).
Less load and stress on the frame.
Better boom ride and less yawing.
Better shock absorption on rough fields and high-speed transport.
The stronger frame allows faster field and transport speeds. In fact, you can travel down the road at speeds up to 50 kmh (where allowed).
