RUBICON
Selfpropelled 9000 l 36 – 52 m ALU
Overview
RUBICON – Innovation and evolution
The RUBICON establishes a new class in self-propelled sprayers, designed to meet the productivity demands of large scale farmers. The seamless integration of capacity and ease of operation delivers hectare eating performance to conquer everyday spraying tasks with ease and ahead of time.
The RUBICON 9000 will take productivity and ease of operation to a whole new level. Increased tank capacity will not only improve productivity, but will improve the timeliness of applications. When timing one of the most critical factors, why waste it filling when you can keep spraying? Capacity keeps you spraying for longer, by reducing travelling and filling down time. When timing is everything – don’t waste time filling.
Chassis
OverRide Suspension is designed for heavy duty applications, for greater load carrying capacity and for incredibly smooth running.
Cabin
A better view of the boom from the cab not only contributes to the comfort but to the quality of the productivity The operator has a commanding view over the boom from the driver’s seat which makes spraying easier and safer.
Electronics
The HARDI HC 9600 control center can be used to display up to five precision farming functions simultaneously in a range of layouts and user interfaces.
Engine / Transmission
RUBICON is powered by Cummins – the most advanced engine technology to deliver power and reliability when you need it.
Work Zone
The right side of the RUBICON houses the fluid pumps, control valves and the electronic valve sequencing control panel.
Booms
When it comes to wide boom innovation and design POMMIER is the market leader. Their accumulated 30 years’ experience provides real benefits for farmers considering a lighter, stronger and wider boom option.
1000 Hectares Per Day
RUBICON has the power and torque to effortlessly carry up to 9000 litres and a 48 m boom around the paddock. Utilising the most technologically advanced, fuel efficient Cummins® 8.9L QSL 9 Tier 3A engine to generate up to 370 hp (276 kW) gives the ultimate performance, reliability and productivity. The lean, clean engine is the best available to power the 4WD hydrostatic transmission from Danfoss.
Engine Power
RUBICON is powered by Cummins – the most advanced engine technology to deliver power and reliability when you need it. Cummins engines run quieter, burn leaner and cleaner, and they are the industry leader in providing power to hydrostatic transmissions. The Cummins® 8.9L QSL 9 Tier 3A engine delivers up to 370 Hp (276 kW) and features fully Integrated Electronic Controls, providing seamless integration of all components to optimize engine performance.
A Commanding View
A better view of the boom from the cab not only contributes to comfort, but to the quality of the productivity. The operator has a commanding view over the boom from the driver’s seat which makes spraying easier and safer. The RUBICON cab is a special workplace and every detail counts: including the synchronised movement of the arm rest console to provide improved ergonomics, to unsurpassed visibility of the boom, clean air and responsible sound and vibration levels. With superior comfort and the best view in the business, RUBICON makes spraying enjoyable and efficient.
Boom Centre
RUBICON redefines boom stability: Revolutionary boom suspension system allows independent stiffness control settings on the springs and rams fixed to either side of the centre frame. The boom remains stable under the harshest operating conditions. The wide centre frame provides excellent on-road visibility. Spring tension holds the centre frame in the middle position while the hydraulic damper absorbs energy from the boom movement. A hydraulic actuator operated from the cab exerts more or less pressure on the spring to change the resistance.
