Fuel consumption is not an issue for me

Perhaps. You will consume fuel no matter which machine you choose – however we have received reports that different models will consume significantly more fuel than the Crop Cruiser. The Goldacres Crop Cruiser will consume up to 3000 litres less fuel every 100 hours you spray. If you have a fuel price of $1.50 per litre, you could save up to $3750 every 100 hours you spray is likely to make fuel consumption an issue for you, and your customers. Another way of calculating fuel consumption savings is to assess the possible term of ownership of the sprayer. If an operator kept his machine for three years and operated for 1000 hours per year, saving 30 lt/hour could amount to approximately 90,000 litres of fuel during the period of ownership.

Future considerations: It is also worth considering the importance of fuel consumption at the end of the period of ownership when the trade-in value is paramount – moreso when the fuel price trend is upward. This makes fuel consumption an even more important consideration in the future. A further consideration is the time saved on less fuel transfer operation – as much as 30,000 litres per 1000 hours.
