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 acre 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. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

OverRide Suspension is designed for heavy duty applications, for greater load carrying capacity and for incredibly smooth running. The suspension is fully independent, is integrated into each wheel console, and moves in and out with the wheel track width. Heavy duty shocks absorb impulses from the suspension to improve the performance and ride. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

The RUBICON provides a high 6 ft. clearance in a clean and unobstructed under-body. This high clearance with its stream-lined design prevents damage to tall crops when performing late season application. Comfort is important to the operator who has to spend long hours behind the wheel. RUBICON’s large tires and triple support airbag suspension combination is the key to its superb ride and driver comfort, which is paramount to keeping fatigue at bay. The high clearance chasis also has available the All-Wheel Steering option to prevent addition crop damage on headlands when turning. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

The RUBICON axle track width can be infinitely adjusted, on-the-run, from 118 in. to 157 in. providing the ultimate flexibility for different applications and improved productivity. - On road transport and spraying - To suit varying field conditions - To match the track width of other machinery - Set up for control traffic farming - To match row crop row spacing The OverRide suspension is integrated into each wheel console and moves in and out with the wheel track width. Externally accessed PUKS are easily adjusted to take up play that may develop over time through changing the axle track. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

The RUBICON has a powerful load sensing hydraulic steering system which controls two large phasing cylinders, and is ideally suited to challenging operating conditions. The steering is precise, smooth and quiet with no vibration which makes spraying easy, safe and reduces operator fatigue. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

2200 gallon baffled stainless steel tank is integrated into the RUBICON chassis and is designed for capacity spraying Baffles not only enhance the integrity of the tank structure but improve the handling and directional stability of the sprayer. Suppressing the magnitudes of fluid slosh by controlling its flow and movement improves braking performance and yaw stability, making spraying comfortable and safe. Three rotational tank rinse nozzles are fitted standard and provide consistent tank flushing. A deep sump running the full length of the tank ensures total draining, easy cleaning and minimal residue. There is a sturdy ladder on the right hand side of the Main Tank which allows easy access to the lid. RUBICON’s 265 gal. Diesel tank provides enough fuel for a whole day or night of spraying. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

RUBICON 4WD hydrostatic transmission is the latest intelligent self-propelled sprayer drive management system from Danfoss, which delivers highest level of performance with reduced fuel consumption, and high operator comfort A Danfoss 250 cc variable displacement axial piston pump minimises control and charge pump losses to maximise available engine power. In addition the Danfoss H1 bent axis axial piston wheel motors are variable displacement and offer significant overall efficiency gains. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

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. The RUBICON cab is a special workplace and every detail counts: including the synchronized 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. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
![]() 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. No other terminal currently offers this versatility! It is also one of the first to feature a capacitive touch screen. The touch-film is protected beneath the glass pane, making the technology ideal for tough, everyday usage. The terminal is fitted with an integral Tractor-ECU (TECU) to receive information from the RUBICON which is essential for precision farming applications. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

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. The RA bi-fold 120 to 160 ft. booms are well proven in field performance and reliability, and the weight reduction benefits over steel cannot be underestimated. Optional AutoHeight control sets a new benchmark in wide boom performance, maintaining a lower boom height which provides better drift control. With the RA boom wings at half the weight of equivalent steel structures and when combined with POMMIER patented Yaw dampening, load and forces transferred to the centre during spraying are significantly reduced. POMMIER soft close feature protects the boom when folding. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

The under boom lighting kit allows the spraying to go on long after the sun has set. If the opportunity to spray comes at night, it is so much easier with the RUBICON’s extensive lighting package. The rear access stairway light is activated from cabin roof to show the way along the platform. The forward facing LED lightbar mounted on the boom center, and sidewards orientated lights will illuminate the route to and around the field to a distance of 492 ft. The under-boom blue cast lights provides a clear and non-invasive view to the end of the boom, and for visual conformation of functioning nozzles. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

RUBICON redefines boom stability: A revolutionary boom suspension system allows independent stiffness control settings on the springs and rams fixed to either side of the center frame. The boom remains stable under the harshest operating conditions. The wide center frame provides excellent on road visibility. Spring tension holds the centre frame in the middle position while the hydraulic damper absorbs energy from booms movement. A hydraulic actuator operated from the cab exerts more or less pressure on the spring to change the | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
