ARBUS 400
Choosing the tractor
The different working standards encountered
by agricultural equipment leads us to comply
with the following criteria when choosing a
tractor for products of Jacto Arbus 400 line.
• Check the weight of the machine (lb) on
the identification plate of the product.
• Check the capacity (in gallons) of the
backup reservoir.
Example:
Empty machine weight = 639 lb
Reservoir capacity = 105 gallons
Choosing the tractor according to the lift capacity of the hydraulic system
• Choose tractors whose gross mass is, at le-
ast, equal to the sum of the empty weight
of the machine plus the weight equiva-
lent to the capacity of the reservoir.
Example: Empty machine weight = 639 lb
Reservoir capacity = 105 gallons (approxima-
tely 882 lb)
Gross Machine Mass = 1521 lb
Recommended tractor: gross mass equal or
greater than 1521 lb.
Choosing the tractor considering the power consumption
• The tractor should have power (HP) at le-
ast 90% higher than the power required
to run the sprayer.
Ex.: Power required by the sprayer = 20.3 HP
Tractor recomended: Minimum tractor nomi-
nal power = 38.5 HP
NOTE:
The tractor recomended in this case should have minimum power of 38.5 HP.
The recommended tractor should, in this case, at least have 1521 lb gross mass.
