This pressure based productcontrol system allows for precise sprayerapplication in a variety of conditions, gettingthe most out of every nozzle. Each nozzleis controlled by its own individual pulsingvalve giving you a consistent spray patternas speed and conditions change.Hawkeye has been tested for shock,vibration, impact, and weather resistance inrugged terrain and extreme temperatures.Additionally,itsVitonsealsontheNCV (Nozzle Control Valve) have hadthousands of hours of testing to ensuresystem reliability. Hawkeye's durability isunparalleled.5

Thisleaves you with more chemicals to manage and more trips back to the field to addressprevious jobs.QAHow much are field claims costing you each year due to sprayer drift or misapplication?The real time adjustments an operator makes directly affects your business. Hawkeye’sability to increase the range, control the spray pattern, and droplet size to manage drift moreeffectively, distributes the appropriate rate across the boom while maneuvering through thefield; all which provide a better coverage and kill on your target weeds.HAWKEYE HD - 72 SECTIONS7 SECTION OVERLAPThe outer edge of 7 sections toOverlap is eliminated bythe outer edge of 72 sections isHawkeye HD.QAWhy would providing a wider operating range out of your existing nozzles give you an ROI?Hawkeye extends the range out of your nozzle tips while keeping your droplet size and spraypattern consistent. This allows the operator to drive to the field conditions by extending thelimitations set by his machine.QA14 feet of overlap.How can I reduce yield loss due to misapplication?Traditional pressure- or speed-based systems are vulnerable to inconsistent applications.Hawkeye provides a wider operating range along with consistent rates and spray patterns,which reduces negative effects on yield.Examples shown are simulated on a 120foot machine with 7 sections, 16 virtualsections, and 72 Hawkeye HD individualnozzle control.
