ACCURACY WITHOUT EQUAL
WEED-IT
When it comes to weed management, WEED-IT is light years ahead.
Designed with the challenges that growers face in mind, WEED-IT from Croplands provides more control while taking efficiency to the next level. That’s why it’s the best-selling optical spot spraying system in the world.
Using advanced sensors, WEED-IT detects chlorophyll in actively growing weeds in fallow fields, identifying and targeting them with unrivalled accuracy. This saves water and time, preserves precious soil moisture and minimises the weed seed bank. It also drastically reduces herbicide use, which maximises return on investment.
Get outstanding results, even on hard-to-kill weeds, with WEED-IT – the world’s number one optical spot sprayer.
And when you invest in a WEED-IT from Croplands, you are also investing in years of spot spraying expertise, coupled with unparalleled service standards and ongoing technical support.
How does WEED-IT work?
Croplands National Sales Manager, Jeremy Rennick, explains the how and why of WEED-IT optical spot spraying technology.
There are multiple benefits of using WEED-IT…chemical savings, getting on top of hard-to-kill weeds…economically.
Jeremy Rennick, Croplands
SET YOURSELF UP FOR HUGE SAVINGS
Engineered for efficiency, the WEED-IT optical spot spraying system’s nozzle activation, spacing and weed detection capabilities ensure speed and accuracy unlike anything else.
Compared to blanket spraying, WEED-IT uses a fraction of the herbicide and water, yet is far more efficient at eliminating hard-to-kill weeds and minimising the weed seed bank. It also saves you time and preserves precious soil moisture.
SUPERIOR MODE OF DETECTION
WEED-IT Quadro’s near-infrared technology emits a blue light, making it more sensitive to the chlorophyll in weeds and less sensitive to any interfering factors.
This advanced mode of detection enables faster travel speeds and targets even the smallest of weeds. Plus, its 50Hz 6-volt solenoids ensure exceptionally fast and accurate nozzle activation.
FOUR NOZZLES TO A SINGLE SENSOR FOR UNRIVALLED ACCURACY
WEED-IT Quadro’s sensors are spaced one metre apart. Fewer sensors mean less structural stress on the boom and improved travel speeds.
A single sensor controls four nozzles at 25cm spacings, so WEED-IT’s spray zone is optimised and more accurate to provide superior coverage than other optical spot sprayers with wider nozzle spacings.
AUTOMATIC CALIBRATION FOR EFFORTLESS OPERATION
Thanks to automatic calibration, the WEED-IT Quadro instantly adjusts to account for factors such as dust, daylight conditions and the presence of stubble, while an in-cab monitor keeps you up to date on its performance.
WEED-IT Quadro also performs just as well at night, giving you a wider window for application.
LESS STRAIN ON YOUR ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
The clever 48-volt system draws far less current. This means that unlike other weed detection equipment, there’s little strain on your tractor’s electrical system.
A MASSIVE STEP IN MANAGING HERBICIDE RESISTANCE
WEED-IT uses a fraction of the herbicide normally used when blanket sprayimg. By employing a wider range of chemicals that are normally considered too expensive for blanket application, you gain a huge advantage in managing herbicide resistance. Because of this, weed seed banks are minimised, reducing the spread of herbicide-resistant weeds.
HEAVY-DUTY CHASSIS
Hard-wearing and long-lasting, our chassis is designed to meet Australia’s harsh conditions head-on.
The axle suspension on larger models provides excellent shock absorption and maintains a smooth ride, even on undulating terrain.

PEGASUS
A good sprayer works well in ideal conditions. The perfect sprayer works anywhere.
Andrew Calvert, Croplands Pegasus 6000 owner, Western Victoria
Pegasus trailed sprayers provide reliable, user-friendly solutions with carrying capacity to match growers’ needs.
Engineered with the latest technology, Pegasus sprayers are as highly durable as they are easy to operate. They set the standard for reliability and efficiency, providing growers with confidence in their performance season after season.
Pegasus boom options range from 24 to 36-metres and feature the unique parallelogram boom lift and hydraulic accumulator suspension to maximise boom spraying stability, spraying accuracy and a dramatic improvement in boom life.
Heavy-duty UV and chemical spraying resistant polyethylene tanks are available in 5000, 6000, 7000 and 8000-litre sizes.
PEGASUS APPLICATION PACKAGES
For improved chemical distribution across the boom, upgrade to a stainless steel 1″ boom plumbing system with four major booms feeds. Boom tubes are bent at either 90 or 180 degrees to enhance flow for rapid auto-section response times and to minimise chemical residues or contamination.
The recirculation valve enables boom priming with every new full tank, while also helping to speed up the boom decontamination process.
250MM NOZZLE SPACING UPGRADE
250mm nozzle spacings provide improved penetration in stubbles and better chemical distribution in stubbles and better chemical distribution in uneven paddocks.
More nozzles often mean more effective results on challenges such as grasses. Air stop valves, fitted directly to the nozzle body, allow rapid auto-boom shut-off speeds – even with high boom pressures.
