The Rider Vario-Track is a lightweight, high specification self-propelled sprayer. It is one of the only models of its size to feature an in cab, hydraulically adjustable track width between 150 cm and 300 cm. As standard, the machine also comes with an ISOBUS based computer control system allowing for the fitment of a wide selection of cost and time saving options.

The CAFFINI Rider Vario-Track Self Propelled Sprayer is a strong yet lightweight machine. Thanks to a chassis made from special high strength steels, Caffini have also managed to keep the unladen weight of all models under 6000kg. Packed full of innovative features, the track width can be hydraulically adjusted from the cab from 150cm to 300cm. In addition three steering modes are also standard allowing a steering radius of under 3 metres to be achieved.

Power & Transmission

The Caffini Rider Vario-Track benefits from a Deutz sourced 136hp/100kw Tier 4/5 compliant engine. To meet emissions regulations all engines used also require Ad-Blue. Power to the wheels is supplied by a reliable and dependable Bosch Rexroth hydrostatic system. The Rider Vario-Track was put through rigorous testing prior to launch to ensure that both engine and transmission were capable of handling the toughest of conditions.

Two tank sizes of 2500 and 3000 litres are available. The Rider Vario-Track is available with either 240 or 300 litre per minute diaphragm pumps. In addition, there is also an option to have a 500 litre per minute centrifugal filling pump fitted for a fast turn around.
