R4044 Sprayer
Get more power with less weight with the new John Deere R4044 Sprayer. The R4044 gives you the acre-eating productivity of an R4045 Sprayer in a machine that is 9-percent lighter. The R4044 features a 1,200-gallon tank and boom widths up to 132 feet with a carbon fiber boom option. The ExactApply™ nozzle control system and integrated John Deere precision ag technology help you get the job done right, while the industry’s most comfortable cab helps you avoid fatigue.
The 1,200-gallon tank of the R4044 allows you to cover 9 more acres per hour than sprayers with a 1,000-gallon tank. The 9-percent weight reduction allows you to get in the field sooner with a better-balanced sprayer.
ExactApply™ Nozzle Control System
The John Deere ExactApply™ Nozzle Control System helps you cover more of your crop with greater precision. In pulsing mode, individual nozzle control offers up to 30 hertz frequency. In conventional mode, the A-B nozzle design automatically switches between two nozzle sizes with different flow rates to maintain the desired spray pressure range. When nozzle A hits max pressure, it switches to nozzle B automatically as you speed up. This lowers the pressure into the proper range to maintain droplet size. If you continue to speed up, it will activate both A and B nozzles, again keeping you in the proper pressure range. As you slow down it will switch back. This gives you a more consistent droplet size from each nozzle at all sprayer speed ranges.
With ExactApply you can also vary the rate across the entire boom to greatly reduce input costs and possible crop damage while assuring the right spray rate even as you make a turn. The built-in Turn Compensation feature automatically varies the application rate across the entire boom, reducing both your input costs and the risk of crop damage from over- or under-application. ExactApply features LED lighting on each nozzle and if a nozzle gets clogged, the nozzle plug detection feature tells you which nozzle needs attention.
