4930 Self-Propelled Sprayer From John Deere

Chuck Zimmerman

Jamie BultemeierOne of the biggest rigs in the John Deere booth at the National Farm Machinery Show this year is a 4930 Self Propelled Sprayer. This unit is made for commercial applicators and for large acreage farms. To learn more about it I interviewed product specialist, Jamie Bultemeier.

Jamie says that they’ve increased the horsepower on the 4930 Sprayer to 325-hp, outfitted it with a 1200 gallon high flow solution system, and designed it to maintain spray speeds in soft or hilly terrain. To make it more productive he says that John Deere offers an optional 300 cu. ft. dry box on the 4930 Sprayer. This allows the 4930 to deliver three- season performance of pre- and post-applications and combines two delivery systems on one machine.
