BETTER QUALITY ROADS
  • Prevents grass, sod and weeds from encroaching on your road surface. 
  • Allows grader to effectively reclaim clean roadside gravel and feather the aggregate from the shoulder back onto the road surface without sod and debris.
  • The lack of grass, sod and weeds eliminates the creation of sod mounds that pose a threat to motorists.
  • Graders often have to push away overgrowth which creates ridges or mounds at the roadside. These ridges retain water runoff which causes road erosion. Spraying eliminates the need for the grader to get rid of overgrowth which minimizes the threat of erosion.
  • Spraying more effectively handles weeds than traditional mowers which tend to simply spread the seed and cause greater growth over time.
REDUCE ROAD MAINTENANCE BUDGET
  • 2 RM`s report saving 1-2 grader passes per year when implementing an Ag Shield Roadside Sprayer. 
  • No need to regularly use a grader to eliminate roadside growth.
  • Eliminating grass, sod and weeds from roadside also eliminates ridges that are created by a grater attempting to do the same thing. This makes it unnecessary to have a grader make a second pass to smooth out these ridges.
  • The average cost of operating a sprayer per mile is approximately 30% of operating a grader per mile.
  • Ag Shield Roadside Sprayers operate faster than traditional mowers, getting more done in less time.
  • The average cost of operating a sprayer to combat noxious weeds is approximately 20% of the cost of operating a mower.
  • Ag Shield Roadside Sprayers can also handle brush, trees and other overgrowth effectively. Spraying prevents regrowth better than mowing or cutting.
  • Combining spraying with your regular maintenance efforts can drastically reduce your mowing/shredding budget.
SAFER AND MORE EFFICIENT SPRAY APPLICATION
  • Ag Shield`s patented boom shield prevents drift while spraying.
  • Eliminates off-target drift making for a safer targeted job.
  • Minimizes liability risk for drift that hits fields or yards.
  • Ag Shield Roadside Sprayers can safely operate in 25 MPH winds at a vehicle speed of 15 MPH with no worry of off-target drift.
PRECISION DRIFT CONTROL
Ag Shield offers the only roadside sprayer on the market with a Patented Boom Shield. The shield creates a zero wind chamber within which the chemical is applied. Within the boom, chemical can be applied without fear of drift in 25 MPH winds with 15 MPH of forward motion. The shield`s containment makes for a more concentrated spray on the target area for greater effectiveness.

CONSISTENT INTUITIVE BOOM LEVEL
Ag Shield Roadside Sprayers feature a hinged boom with a Gauge Wheel at the center and outer edge that ensure the sprayer follows varying terrain closely. This design ensures that sprayer shield stays in close proximity to the ground for safety and maximum effect.

DURABLE REFLEX DESIGN
Our Boom Break-Away feature ensures long life to your sprayer and minimizes on-site maintenance. If the sprayer`s side boom hits an obstacle the boom will "break-away" allowing the impact to be safely absorbed and the obstacle to be passed. The boom will automatically reset to its operating position for uninterrupted spraying.

SPRAYER CONTROLS
Ag Shield Roadside Sprayers come with a standard in-cab control system that is integrated with the sprayer and allows for the operator to easily control all sprayer functions including lifting and lowering the boom.

EASILY TRANSPORTED
Ag Shield Roadside Sprayers are designed for easy transport. Simply fold the boom(s), lock into place and drive to the next job site. When putting into operation unlock; unfold and lower the boom(s) into operating position.
