"We
cover about 50,000 to 55,000 acres, mostly wheat and soybeans.
We run an 11,000 acre farm, do custom work and operate an ag
supply business.
We
ve purchased our 4th NITRO. Overall performance has been real
good. Believe me...if it wasn't, there'd be some other color
machine sittin out there.
Fields
average a half section, and we can do about 100 acres per hour.
I m sold on NITRO s front mounted boom. I did enough looking
over my shoulder...it makes for a long day. Now I can run closer
to the ground...and I don t need wind shields.
We
are happy. The company and the dealer have been real good."

"We
do mostly post application, and mostly for cotton. We do some
wheat, corn and milo. We do a lot of smaller farms. 500 to 600
acres per day is a good day.
Really
like the upfront boom. With the NITRO, I can see 100% of the
nozzles and get the best job done for our customer. If a tip
plugs, we can spot it immediately. We also like the tight turning
radius.
You
get more for your money with a NITRO. I can get the same job
done with the NITRO that costs less than others. It s a better
value for the dollar. We appreciate that we can afford to run
a machine with a 1200 gallon tank."
Our
NITRO service is excellent. It's one of the reasons we switched
from our former brand...once being down for two weeks.

"We
mostly spray corn and cut seed corn tassels. I've never had
a wheel off the ground with the NITRO. With our previous sprayer...if
I got a wheel off the ground I was stuck.
It's
the Cadillac of post sprayers for ride, power, visibility, and
crop clearance.
We're
pleased with the resale value. NITROs in our area are holding
their value well."

"We
cover several thousand acres of corn, soybeans & seed corn,
on gently rolling terrain. We got our NITRO from the first year
of production, and it's still going strong.
I
like the front boom. The chassis suspension works good. I appreciate
the good clearance for late operations in seed corn."

"We've
got our 4th new NITRO now, and the service is as good as any
we've had. We've run two for each of the last 5 or 6 years.
With the front mounted boom, visibility is real good. Our
operators like the way the booms level off so nice.
We
definitely have our hills and terraces...and the NITROs work
well there. We like the smoothness of the ride."

"We
have 2 NITROs for spraying seed corn, field corn and beans.
The #1 reason is the high clearance and narrow wheel motors
for spraying seed corn and getting over the tassels. We also
like the upfront booms. We ve had little trouble with our NITROs,
and we're very happy about that. The people and service at our
dealer are top notch."

"We
have an ag retailer business and all our work is custom application.
We run two NITROs.
With
NITRO's traction, in a wet spring we're in the fields from
one to three days ahead of our competition.
The
NITRO is built solid, strong and heavy. It holds up well.
The Air Ride cab is excellent. The independent chassis suspension
takes out a lot of bumps in the field and on the road. Visibility
is real nice going down the road...with no booms to look through.
We like being able to see all the nozzles on the front boom,
and watching forward where we're going. NITRO gets us up in
the air more so we can see farther and to the side better."

"In
25 years of commercial application I have run several high clearance
sprayers. The one I'm most impressed with is NITRO.
We
covered 15,000 acres in 1,000 machine hours and had NO down
time!
With
the nozzles mounted on the backside of the front mounted boom,
we have the best possible spray pattern visibility.
With
275 hp we run over a variety of terrain with no lack of power.
We
apply 32% nitrogen in early spring in rates from 10 to 60 gallons
per acres. NITRO handles this with ease."

"We
farm and custom farm 32,000 acres. Half is wheat, a quarter
corn and a quarter sunflowers. We cover our acres at least twice
a season.
It's
just amazing what the NITRO will go through. Like muddy water
ways and wet spots. Equal front and back weight distribution
is the key. I used to run a different brand that was 60% weight
in the back, and it was enough to get it stuck. I can't remember
being stuck once with a NITRO.
Two
of my neighbors bought NITROs after seeing mine run.
Two
things I am most impressed with are the ride and the front mounted
boom."

"High
clearance is important. We spray for 1st and 2nd generation
corn borer and adult rootworm control. (It also makes a great
place to store my Corvette under.)
NITRO's
dependability is excellent. Upfront boom is a plus to see what
you're doing. It's so maneuverable. I can drive into a corner
fenceline and back right out.
The
3rd day I had it, I was spraying for a customer who said his
field was dry. I got into mud halfway up the hubs and didn't
get stuck.
Wheel
spacing is another advantage. I can straddle 5 rows at 150 and
do 90% of my acres this way. Makes quite a difference when you
can add 30 to stability on side hills. Other sprayers can't
do this.
I
did one field that was 120 acres, 3/4 mile long. I finished
it in 47 minutes. The monitor showed the rate of 157 acres per
hour. I was still doing a good, responsible job. The NITRO can
really perform."

"We
use our NITRO to side dress, spray and cut tassels. It doesn
t stop from May till early September, running every day. The
reliability is great and it has plenty of power. The high clearance
is great. We have some high boys that don t have as much clearance.
We
have no problem running at 15 mph for pre-emerge spraying. Even
when the corn is 6 ft. tall we can travel at 10 to 12 mph easily.
The
NITRO has the capacity for bigger, longer fields. That s what
we re looking for. Throughput!"

"We're
in our 5th season with our NITRO 200. We cover 26,000 acres
per season, mostly seed corn.
NITRO
is designed well for our operation with the front mounteEd boom,
really nice cab and high clearance. The 1200 gallon tank and
90 foot boom are a good match for our operation.
For
part of the season we are detasseling and spraying at the same
time with the same machine. I calculate that if we were hiring
the services of what the NITRO does in one season for us, it
would be worth $146,000. We get higher utilization from our
NITRO than from any other piece of machinery on the farm. And
it has the highest Return on Investment."

"We
spray mostly corn and soybeans, and our rice acreage is increasing
in the last few years. The NITRO is rugged. It jumps the corn
hips with no problem. Other sprayers we had couldn't hold
up. They were always breaking apart..busting booms. NITRO
also handles rice levies very well. They are tricky to cross.
The high clearance and independent wheel suspension make the
difference.
NITRO
won't bog down in rice fields which are heavy, sticky clay.
We've only been stuck once in 3 years.
My
next sprayer will be a NITRO. It's a wonderful machine."
