Three different tank size options are available:

• 600 litre mounted
• 1000 litre trailed
• 2000 litre trailed

To compliment the three tank options, there are both single and twin head models of the GrassKiller available. Mono (single head) machines are available in both front and rear mounted options, Twin head machines are front mounted only.

Mono machines consist of a single 400mm rotating head with four nozzles mounted beneath it. All Twin models have two 250mm heads with two nozzles mounted under each. Consequently, Twin models offer a significant saving in time by being able to treat two rows simultaneously.

The working heads are mounted to a swinging arm. This swinging arm has adjustable resistance to allow it to accommodate a variety of different size plants and obstacles when working. When the head makes contact with an obstacle the arm swings back allowing the head to rotate around them.

Mono Rear

A choice of two models are available as an all in one style rear machine. Available as both a 1000 and 2000 litre trailed model, these machines are available with the head mounted on the right hand side only. Both models feature a galvanized chassis for long life and electronic controls for arm and head movements.

Mono Front Mounted

Front mounted models consist of a single head that can be mounted to left or right on the front of the tractor. In all cases the tank and pump is at the rear of the tractor. All three tank options of 600, 1000 and 2000 litres are available in this configuration.

The Mono Fronted Mounted version is available in four different working widths:

• S   – 900-1200mm
• M   – 1050-1350mm
• L    – 1150-1650mm
• XL  – 1250-1750mm

All of the above are measured from the centre of the tractor to the outside edge of the working head.

Both models of the Caffini GrassKiller Mono machines can be fitted with electrical adjustment of the arm sensitivity. As standard this is adjusted manually on the front of the machine. Furthermore, to aid with working in confined spaces such as row ends in vineyards, a steering drawbar can be fitted to trailed models.

Twin

All Twin models have a front mounted frame fitted with two 250mm heads, one each on the left and right sides. Consequently, this allows two rows to be treated at the same time allowing considerable savings in both time and fuel to be made. As with the Mono Front models, all three tank options are available in the Twin configuration.

Four different working widths are available to cater for the following ranges of row widths:

• S    – 1680-2280mm
• M   – 1980-2580mm
• L     – 2180-3180mm
• XL  – 2430-3420mm

All of the above are measured from outside edge to outside edge of the two working heads.

Options

In addition to the standard equipment, a variety of optional equipment can be fitted to the Caffini GrassKiller Twin models. Independent raising and lowering of the left and right hand heads can be specified, more importantly to conserve water manual shut off to one side is also an option. As with the Mono models, electronic adjustment of the arm sensitivity is also an option and steering drawbar options are also available on the two trailed models.

If damage to the ground is a consideration, all trailed models of the Caffini GrassKiller can be fitted with a selection of wheel and tyre equipment. A steel gauge wheel is fitted to the front of the working arm and a rubber one is available as an option. In addition, rubber support wheels can be mounted under the front mounting frame to stabilise the machine on the front linkage during work.

More importantly, should the tractor not have a front linkage fitted, a front mounting frame to suit can be supplied with the Caffini GrassKiller. In addition long hydraulic hoses can also be supplied should the tractor not have front service valves fitted.
