At Transland, our commitment to quality has been the foundation of our success for decades. We are proud to continue this legacy by developing and refining products that meet the highest standards in the aerial application industry. As we gear up for this year’s national convention, we are excited to showcase some of our latest advancements and product offerings, all designed to enhance efficiency, safety, and precision for aerial applicators.
Right-Hand Boom Shut-Off and 50/60% Boom Shut-Off Kits
One of the standout products we’re highlighting is our Right-Hand Boom Shut-Off and 50/60% Boom Shut-Off Kits. These systems are integral to helping ensure that pilots can manage their spray patterns with maximum efficiency and minimal disruption. By integrating with the Satloc Falcon and G4 GPS systems, these shut-off kits help allow for precise control over the flow rate and swath width, adapting to the specific needs of each operation.
The compact design of our boom shut-off kits significantly reduces drag, minimizing the impact on the spray pattern. This is crucial for maintaining consistent application quality across different field conditions. Whether you’re flying a Thrush or Air Tractor, these kits offer the flexibility needed to achieve optimal results, backed by the reliability that Transland products are known for.
Remote Mount Actuator for a Manual Right-Hand Boom Shut-Off Valve
In response to the needs of aerial applicators, we’ve developed a Remote Mount Actuator for the manual right-hand boom shut-off valve. This actuator is designed to be mounted inside the aircraft, effectively removing the actuator motor from the airstream. This not only minimizes disruption to the spray pattern but also reduces pilot fatigue by allowing for easy operation through a toggle switch.
The benefits of this system are clear: by streamlining the control of the boom shut-off, we help pilots maintain focus on their primary tasks, improving overall safety and efficiency. The system is for AT-802 aircraft with manual RH boom shut-off, offering a practical solution that enhances the operational capabilities of aerial applicators.
Electric Gate Improvements
Our electric gate systems are a popular choice by many in the aerial application industry, and we’re pleased to announce further improvements based on fieldwork and customer feedback. Recent upgrades include enhanced gearing and software changes that provide stronger load capacity, smoother operation, and greater precision. These updates are part of our ongoing commitment to innovation.
Factory Presets for Dry Application Profiles
The factory presets for dry application profiles encompass a variety of blends and pure substances tailored for different agricultural needs. The 26 preset profiles include different formulations of Urea and Sulfate mixtures, various Dry Rice applications, and specialized profiles for Wheat Seed.
Each profile is designed with specific application rates and swath widths to optimize the effectiveness of the application for different crops and field conditions. Pilots and agronomists can utilize these presets as a base to create customized profiles that best suit their unique crop and soil requirements.
Customizable Dry Profiles: Save Time
Our customers are thrilled with the ability to craft, save, and reuse dry profiles for different crops. Imagine setting up your application for a mix of 45 pounds of wheat and radish, fine-tuning the settings to perfection, and then… simply saving that profile for future use. This is not just a feature; it’s advanced aerial application software.
Tailored Applications: Variable Rate & Constant Rate
With the innovative Satloc Falcon Pro and G4 GPS systems, you’re in control with the flexibility to handle variable rate and constant rate. This means you can adapt to varying field conditions, crop needs, and application requirements with ease and precision.
Effortless Operation: Set Once, Apply Anytime
The beauty of the Transland electric gate with Satloc Falcon Pro and Satloc G4 GPS systems rests in their simplicity and efficiency. “Once you name the profile, returning to it for another round of application is incredibly easy. I have all my settings for radishes saved, eliminating the need to reset them for each use. This not only saves time but also reduces the margin for error, ensuring consistent application across the board,” explained another satisfied user.
Load Hawg: Complementary to the Wingman
Another exciting addition to our product lineup is the Load Hawg, which complements our Hydraulic Wingman product line. Acquired from Mid-Continent, the Load Hawg is specifically designed to streamline loading dry materials into aerial application aircraft. It is compatible with both Thrush and Air Tractor aircraft, enhancing safety and efficiency.
Introducing the Hybrid Wingman: The Best of Both Worlds
Our newest Wingman system takes the best of both worlds, combining an electric door with a hydraulic auger for unmatched performance and versatility. Built to exceed the original hydraulic Wingman, this hybrid solution is designed to offer precision, reliability, and efficiency, particularly during demanding loading conditions.
The electric door is equipped with a robust double latch system, helping ensure secure operation during all phases of flight. Exceeding the performance of our original hydraulic Wingman, the new hydraulic auger offers increased efficiency during loading. The auger is capable of pushing solids to both the forward and aft extremities of the hopper during the final stages of loading, ensuring optimal fill and balanced distribution.
With the hybrid Wingman system, you not only get the power of hydraulics but also the reliability and fine-tuned control of electric systems. The hybrid Wingman is designed to support the rigorous needs of aerial application pilots.
