Obstland, Saxony – Germany

Obstland farms 1,200 hectares of fruit orchards in Saxony, Germany. The company grows traditional, as well as organic fruit here. Obstland was looking for machines capable of applying crop protection agents faster, more efficiently and with less spillage.

The solution: the KWH 3R2 with spray computer
Obstland now treats three rows at the same time in its modern orchards resulting in time savings of 60%. Furthermore, the same work now requires fewer tractors and workers.
In four years’ time, Obstland has converted its entire operation to 3R2 Mist Sprayers and hopes to deploy its eleventh mist sprayer in 2017.

Savings:
Time: -60%
Employees: -66%
Tractors: -22 units
Environment: 95%+ drift reduction
