Overview

COMMANDER –  Intelligent

spraying - Fields ahead

The COMMANDER is designed to meet the demands of the modern professional farmer world-wide. This generation of sprayers is designed to lead the way in capacity, reliability, safety, optimization, ease of operation and precision.

The COMMANDER is a highend performer designed for continuous use by demanding operators. An example of the functional design is the logical layout of the left hand side of the sprayer, where all primary operations are located.

Hardi COMMANDER TWIN boom - Winning air

Let’s take control. With the HARDI TWIN system, air will help you control the wind. You are in control of the speed and angle giving you the possibility of covering the whole plant, from top to bottom.

Spray drift from conventional sprayer can be so strong that the operator has to stop before having the spray job done. With efficient drift control it is much easier for the operator to be able to spray the entire field.

Under most conditions the farmers get at least twice as many hours for a safe and efficient spray job with the TWIN sprayer compared to conventional spraying.

Hardi COMMANDER DELTA FORCE boom - Compact in transport - wide in field

DELTA FORCE is designed to be a large boom. The selection of features and the layout of the boom structure are targeted to perform at high driving speed and high performance at boom widths of 120 - 132ft. The result is a boom with many simple and strong solutions which together give a high-performing and reliable boom with a simple setup, low maintenance and a great design.

A very advanced, but yet simple centre part controls the movements of the DELTA FORCE boom. The five pendulum settings allow to adjust the boom performance, either to a pendulum, which follows the sprayer movements, or to follow the level of the terrain.

Hardi COMMANDER SafeTrack

The HARDI SafeTrack is available on the COMMANDER (optional). This revolutionary design merges the benefits from other traditional systems into one high performance system. With the HARDI SafeTrack you do not have to choose between either tight turning radius or stability.

This ensures a minimum of crop damage combined with safe and user-friendly operation. A computer constantly monitors forward speed and turning radius to make sure that the correction made by the tracking system is as safe as possible.

SafeTrack ensures that the boom is always 100% perpendicular to the tramlines. This ensures perfect application when turning at the end of the fields.

Hardi COMMANDER DynamicFluid4

The DynamicFluid4 system will calculate the consequences of the increased RPM and make the regulation instantly. The DynamicFluid4 property of pro-acting is based on 4 sensors in the fl uid system measuring RPM, position of regulation valves, flow and pressure. Combined with a specific new software and a new, unique ceramic regulation valve, DynamicFluid4 is offering precision in the application rate giving the best performance available on the market.

The sensors of DynamicFluid4 each have their individual task, but they will also work as backup for each other, and the regulation will continue. Regulation can be done manually.

Hardi COMMANDER DELTA FORCE –

The low boom height requires a good boom management system. The best system on the market is the DELTA FORCE boom series along with HARDI AutoTerrain. The other advantage is a smaller nozzle VMD (volume median diameter) which increases the coverage.

chassis

Hardi COMMANDER Frame

Heavy-duty chassis manufactured in high tensile steel
The COMMANDER chassis is built in highstrength steel ensuring exceptional strength, at a relatively low weight. Time has shown that the chassis can stand fatigue year after year.

The chassis is designed with a low center of gravity
A sprayer with a high center of gravity can be very dangerous to operate. Consequently, great efforts have been made to ensure that the COMMANDER has the lowest possible center of gravity without compromising clearance under the sprayer.

Excellent clearance
The unique design of the axle and frame ensures excellent crop clearance. No brake rods or steering components are lower than the axle.

The drawbar on the tractor and the axle on the sprayer will therefore always be the lowest points on the sprayer. The clearance under the axle will vary between 2.3 - 2.6 ft. depending on tire and wheel set-up.

All cabling, wires and hoses are mapped for each model. Routing is primarily made in cable trays. The cable trays are designed so wires and cable hoses are separated from hoses which will move when pressure is added and relieved.

Hardi COMMANDER Service area

Easy tank inspection
The lid is located in close proximity to the platform to allow easy inspection of the tank. The design of the tank allows the operator excellent visibility of both sides and the bottom of the tank. COMMANDER 5500 and 7000 l have an integrated footstep and a safety handle giving access to the tank lid.

Fold-down ladder for easy access
The fold-down ladder simply pulls down for easy access to the platform.

Low platform placement
The sprayer design gives the possibility of a low placement of the platform.

Hardi COMMANDER SafeTrack

The HARDI SafeTrack is available as an option on the COMMANDER. This revolutionary design merges the benefits from other traditional systems into one high performance steering system. With the HARDI SafeTrack you do not have to choose between a tighter turning radius or better stability.

Narrow track width
With the SafeTrack, wheel track widths down to 60 - 120 in. wide tire is possible. This can be done without compromising the turning radius.

Hardi COMMANDER Axles, brakes and crop protection

Excellent crop clearance
The brake system is designed in such a way that no brake components, like brake arms or cylinders, are lower than the main axle.

Underbelly protection
Underbelly crop protection is standard. The shield will protect cables and hoses on the sprayer, and the crop will be protected from corners and edges. The underbelly protection is easily removed which gives good access for service.

Hardi COMMANDER Hydraulic suspension

Strong hydraulic cylinders absorb the shock loads instead of transferring them to the boom and tractor. This ensures operator comfort and good application at even higher speeds.

High comfort level at high driving and spraying speeds. The suspension is adjusted to match tank and boom size from the factory. Suspension does not compromise the clearance of the sprayer.

Hardi COMMANDER ParaLift

The HARDI ParaLift ensures high clearance above any crops
The long lift arms allow for very flexible height adjustment, the boom can be adjusted from 15.7 in. to 86.6 in., depending on sprayer wheel combination.

Wide attachment to the boom suspension ensures high performance of the boom
The 3.3 ft. wide ParaLift ensures very stable attachment of the boom.

TWIN FORCE boom from 80, 90, 100 ft., DELTA FORCE 120 - 132 ft. and TERRA FORCE boom have no suspension in the boom center, and here the pushing ParaLift is equipped with suspension. Each of the two ParaLift cylinders is connected to an accumulator with a preloaded pressure corresponding to the boom weight.

Hardi COMMANDER Main tank

Very low center of gravity
To make the sprayer as stable as possible the tank is much wider at the bottom. This ensures a low center of gravity.

Liquid is moved forward as the tank is emptied, thereby maintaining weight on the drawbar
This ensures that traction on the tractor is maintained, even when going up slopes with an almost empty tank.

Hardi COMMANDER RinseTank

Capacity is 130 gal. on all machines
The same tank is used on all machines providing adequate liquid for both inside and outside cleaning.

Placed on axle for added stability
The RinseTank is typically the last tank to be emptied. By locating it on the rear axle, extra stability is ensured.

Level indicator
The indicator is placed on the front of the sprayer to allow step by step cleaning.
workzone

Hardi COMMANDER Pump

To meet the requirements of bigger sprayers and to improve lifetime, HARDI offers the 464 pump. A reduction in pressure drop has been avoided by improving the flow in the diaphragm tops. To easy service, we have integrated lifting hooks while moving two greasing points to the front, to easy lubrication of the front and the rear of the pump. The casted conrod support ring has also been redesigned for improved mechanical life time. The most visible change is the new covers designed to protect the pump from mud and water getting into the system.

  • Self-priming
  • Able to run dry without damage
  • Easy to service
  • Grease-lubricated crankcase

Hardi COMMANDER EasyClean filter

The EasyClean filter is a high capacity suction filter. The condition of the filter can be constantly monitored via a SafeSpray vacuum gauge.

This ensures that the filter is cleaned when needed and only when needed. When cleaning the filter, all you have to do is to twist the lid 90°. This will close a main tank valve in the bottom of the filter and open the filter for inspection.

Hardi COMMANDER CycloneFilter

The HARDI CycloneFilter is a unique self-cleaning pressure filter that uses a high-speed cyclone for additional cleaning action. The cyclone action increases the cleaning capacity of the filter significantly.

In addition, the CycloneFilter has a unique boost function allowing the filter to be flushed when needed.

Unique cyclone action greatly improves the self-cleaning action
The cyclone created inside the filter increases the speed of the liquid against the filter screen, thereby increasing the effectiveness of the self-cleaning action.

Filter is fitted in an upright position
The filter is fitted in such a position that spill can be avoided when inspecting the filter. This ensures fewer stops and reduced pressure loss in the liquid system.

TurboFiller

The HARDI TurboFiller is developed to handle large quantities of powders and liquids. Its high capacity is achieved through a combination of high vacuum and liquid rotation produced by a TurboDeflector inside the hopper.

High mixing capacity
Liquid at high pressure is being used to create a powerful rotation of the liquid inside the hopper. This movement gives the effect that every powder or liquid chemicals are mixed before they are sucked into the sprayer. The highest capacity is achieved when the TurboFiller is more than half-filled with water.

Optimum filling height
A spring-loaded bracket with transport lock makes it easy to change from field to filling position. The filling position is approx 37.4 in. from the ground.

Hardi COMMANDER EFC boom section valves

The ElectricFastControl (EFC) is a modular system with a positive drive motor valve for each section and a single pressure dump valve, when all sections are switched to OFF.

The section valves incorporate a pressure dump. When the section is switched to OFF, the pressure in the line to the nozzles is relieved.

This results in instant shut-off at the nozzles. The EFC does not need any form of adjustment, e.g. pressure equalisation.

Hardi COMMANDER DynamicFluid4 liquid system

Dynamic fluid system based on 4-sensor technology
The fluid system on the ALPHA evo is a new concept developed to obtain shorter response time and thereby more precise application in the field.

New powerful engines on the ALPHA evo and the hydrostatic transmission have given new driving patterns with more variance in the speed and faster acceleration, factors which together with the GPS controlled section control is challenging for the performance of the liquid system. In a traditional fluid system the regulation is made on feedback from what is already “historical” data. For example the RPM is increased, and shortly after the flow will be too high at the nozzle. When that is measured, the spray computer will regulate the pressure down again but in the meanwhile the application rate has been too high.

The DynamicFluid4 system will calculate the consequences of the increased RPM and make the regulation instantly. The DynamicFluid4 property of pro-acting is based on 4 sensors in the fluid system measuring RPM, position of regulation valves, flow and pressure. Together with new software and new unique ceramic regulation valve, DynamicFluid4 is offering precision in the application rate giving the best performance available on the market.
electronics

Hardi COMMANDER TankGauge

TankGauge
TankGauge is an electronic tank contents sensor which is standard when the COMMANDER has AutoAgitation.

The filling level is measured, and an automatic onscreen tank contents readout is possible. A warning for low tank contents can be set up.

Hardi COMMANDER AutoSectionControl

Open and close boom sections automaticly
AutoSectionControl manages the sections when driving over sprayed area like into a headland or wedge or around obstacles like trees etc.

HC 9600 has AutoSectionControl as a standard feature and only need to be connected to a GPS receiver. When spraying, the AutoSectionControl automatically records the area sprayed. In a typical situation where the headland is sprayed first, AutoSectionControl will now automatically close the sections if the operator passes over a sprayed area.

Hardi COMMANDER HC 8600 / HC 9600

Touch the future” with integrated electronics – HC 8600/HC 9600 All the main spray functions are at your fingertips. The multi-function joystick in conjunction with the 12.1” touchscreen provides the HC 9600 user with the highest level of performance available.

The HC 8600/HC 9600 controller provides growers with a powerful and full featured precision farming tool. Features include guidance, data logging, application reports, GPS controlled spraying, automated steering and more!

ISOBUS compatibility
The HC 8600/HC 9600 offers compatibility with the ISO 11783 (ISOBUS) Universal Terminal Standard. So the HC 8600/HC 9600 could also operate as HC 6500.

The complete integration of all important information on one work screen is an important criteria. On the HC 8500/HC 9500 work screen the driver can operate GeoSteer, AutoTerrain/ AutoHeight/AutoSlant, AutoSection- Control, as well as guidance and dosing.

booms

Hardi COMMANDER Boom management systems

AutoHeight and AutoTerrain
The HARDI AutoHeight and AutoTerrain systems will automatically control the boom
This makes the job much easier for the driver, and the result will be a better spray application. The system is known for the following features:

  • Robust and precise ultrasonic sensors
  • Option to choose between soil, crop or hybrid mode
  • Provortional valve for smooth movements (AutoHeight, AutoTerrain)
  • Tilt and height correction (AutoHeight, AutoTerrain)
  • AutoTerrain works and reacts on both boom movements and twisting forces on the boom. This allows the system to be proactive and react on the cause more than on the symptom.

Hardi COMMANDER TWIN FORCE boom

The ultimate in capacity, weather independence and application technology
The biggest challenge is timing due to weather conditions. Let’s take control. With the HARDI TWIN system, air will help you control the wind. You are in control of the speed and angle giving you the possibility of covering the whole plant, from top to bottom.

The ideal high capacity solution
Spray drift from conventional sprayer can be so strong that the operator has to stop before having the spray job done. With effi cient drift control it is much easier for the operator to be able to spray the entire field.

Under most conditions the farmers get at least twice as many hours for a safe and efficient spray job with the TWIN sprayer compared to conventional spraying.

The TWIN FORCE boom is available in sizes from 80, 90, 100, 120 ft.

Up to 100% more spray capacity
Timing is everything! The results overleaf show that during Spring 2015 the wind conditions for conventional spraying would only allow 31 days of spraying whilst using a TWIN Force you would gain over 45 extra days suitable for spraying. At the same time you can spray faster and have less filling time from reduced water consumption.

Increased spray opportunities, reduced drift, reduced chemical usage, accurate placement, faster spraying speed, result in improved economy!

Hardi COMMANDER Save up to 30% on chemicals
Many trials throughout the years have shown a better chemical efficacy using TWIN.

This gives the opportunity to adjust the chemical dose, and at some markets we see up to 30% reduction in chemicals consumption at the farm through the season.

  • Up to 100% more spray capacity
  • Save up to 30% on chemicals
  • Reduced drift
  • Better penetration in the crops
  • Improved spraying economy
  • Lower water consumption
  • Faster spraying speeds
  • More than 30 years' experience

Hardi COMMANDER TERRA FORCE boom

The HARDI TERRA FORCE boom offers the ultimate when it comes to strength, performance and capacity for conventional booms. DynamicCenter or AutoTerrain secures boom stability in all conditions and supports a high driving speed.

Hardi COMMANDER DELTA FORCE boom

With its unique design, we developed a boom both wide in field and compact in transport with its 10 ft. The boom has been developed for high driving speeds and perfect boom control.

With five pendulum settings, you have the possibility to adjust the pendulum to follow either the movements of the sprayer or the terrain.

Unique Design
Performance, speed and quality are the key words when talking boom designs. In the developing process of our next boom generation, we have analyzed and focused on optimizing theme three areas.

The result – HARDI DELTA FORCE. With its unique design, we manage to offer large booms able to drive at high speed while maintaining an optimum performance of the boom. At the same time, the DELTA FORCE is only 10 ft. wide in transport. Using high quality Swedish Steel, we manage to optimize weight and strength and thereby produce a boom with a perfect setup, low maintenance and great performance.
