Choosing the tractor AJ-401 LH PLUS
CHAPTER 2 - ASSEMBLING
Different working conditions lead us to adopt the Example:
following criterion for choosing the tractor that Sprayer weight = 507.15 lb
will drive the Jato 2600 cannon sprayer. Tank capacity = 105 gallons
Total power consumption = 14.5 HP
Check the sprayer weight on the identification
plate.
Check the tank capacity.
Check in the technical specifications table the
total power consumption required.
The tractor should have power (HP) at least 90% higher than the power required to run the sprayer.
Ex.: Power required by the sprayer = 14.5 HP
Tractor recommended: with minimun nominal power of 27.5 HP
> Choosing the tractor considering the the lift capacity of the hydraulic system
The lift capacity of the tractors hydraulic system must be higher than empty sprayer weight added to the
weight equivalent to the tank capacity.
Ex: Empty sprayer weight = 507.15 lb
Tank capacity = 105 gal (approximately 882 lb)
Tractor recommended: with lift capacity of hydraulic system higher than 1,389.15 lb.
ATTENTION!
The figures above are specifically mentioned in order to direct you on how to proceed to
choose the ideal tractor to which you are to mount your sprayer.

Follow strictly the instructions on the labels. Check for the proper working conditions of the
sprayer.
Use individual protective equipment.
Do not blow by mouth nozzles, valves or tubes.
Do not eat, drink or smoke.
Do not spray against the wind.
Choose a ventilated place.
Do not spray in hotter times.
Wash with water and soap the parts of the body
touched by chemicals. Use individual protective clothing recommended.

You are responsible for the success of the application.
Example:
Spray volume = 16 gpa
Spray swath = 82 ft
Tractor speed = 2.5 mph
ATTENTION!
The figures shown in the example above are illustrative only. The correct calibration must
be done according to the recommendations of technician.
