    2,000 rpm to produce uniform spray droplets of around 250 micron; large enough to minimise any risk of spray drift. Liquid is fed by gravity through colour coded feed nozzles. The HERBI-4 can apply herbicides to borders, pathways, ditches and larger areas by making a series of consecutive spray passes.

  • Page 3: Safety

    Specially designed ST backpacks and a shoulder strap are available for use with the HERBI-4. SAFETY Using agrochemicals is a hazardous process.
