It is one of three properties in Central Queensland owned by his parents Bruce and Beryl Donovan under the umbrella of Donovan Farming Company Pty Ltd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They produce durum wheat, chickpeas, cotton, sorghum and corn on 4800 ha. The RoGator covers that ground at least four times a year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The family purchased their first RoGator in 2004. A local contractor had one and it seemed robust, so that was their choice when their old sprayer needed replacing. They are now onto their fourth one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:49px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>For the durability and the toughness of the machine, we have found RoGators to be second to none.<\/p><cite>Simon Donovan, Donovan Farming Company<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:49px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Every model has seemed great, but then the next one arrives and it has improved. It is a nice feeling knowing that the manufacturer is listening to farmers and making the changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, Simon wanted to spend more time in the paddock. He now has a 6000-litre tank with the chassis upgraded to accommodate this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThere have been upgrades in the wheel motors, so it handles the conditions even better.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The filtration system has also improved. Previous models relied on filters at the nozzles and Simon had to organise his own filtration system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt never worked that well. This machine has its own awesome filtration system. They have nailed it. It is built to handle the volume of water we want to use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAnother improvement is to the boom. Other brands don\u2019t seem to handle our conditions. We can\u2019t fault this one.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:49px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"618\" height=\"435\" src=\"https:\/\/croplands.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/01\/Croplands_RG_boom_618x435px.png\" alt=\"RoGator RG1300C boom\" class=\"wp-image-5508\" srcset=\"https:\/\/staging.croplands.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/01\/Croplands_RG_boom_618x435px.png 618w, https:\/\/staging.croplands.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/01\/Croplands_RG_boom_618x435px-300x211.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 618px) 100vw, 618px\" \/><figcaption>RoGator.

Each sensor controls four nozzles which are fired when a weed is detected. The superior mode of detection used by the WEED-IT system ensures very small weeds can be targeted before they set seed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:49px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>With spot spraying we are saving at least 80 percent in chemicals even though we apply at a higher rate.<\/p><cite>Simon Donovan<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:49px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe are really smashing it, hitting the plant with four times the rate.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He can also use more targeted sprays, which are usually more expensive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:49px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"618\" height=\"435\" src=\"https:\/\/croplands.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2020\/12\/croplands_weedit_singlenozzle_618x435px.png\" alt=\"Croplands WEED-IT Nozzles\" class=\"wp-image-249\" srcset=\"https:\/\/staging.croplands.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2020\/12\/croplands_weedit_singlenozzle_618x435px.png 618w, https:\/\/staging.croplands.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2020\/12\/croplands_weedit_singlenozzle_618x435px-300x211.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 618px) 100vw, 618px\" \/><figcaption>With WEED-IT fitted to his RoGator RG1300C, Simon can target those hard-to-kill weeds.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:49px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>A particular problem in central Queensland is Feathertop Rhodes grass, which is becoming resistant. The WEED-IT system allows him to control it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIf I didn\u2019t have this I would have to put steel in the ground and break up the soil structure. I am hitting the target weeds harder and saving ourselves a lot of work and money.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Spot spraying is slower at about 14 kph compared to the 24 kph Simon drives when using the RoGator as a blanket sprayer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">raven XRT delivers boom stability<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>At those speeds Raven XRT boom-levelling is quite handy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhen I turn corners or drive through a washout the boom height stays consistent. It does not hit the ground so it protects the boom. It should really be compulsory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cEach WEED-IT sensor is worth $5000 so you don\u2019t want to start smashing them up. Without Raven I have to rely on my ability to keep it level.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Raven XRT\u2019s radar-based sensors detect the ground and keep the boom stable in three dimensions. This also helps reduce spray drift because the boom is at a consistent height above the crop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">unprecedented product recovery<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The RoGator has a recirculating boom and ClearFlow product recovery. It uses air to push unused product back from the lines into the tank, or it can blow it out of the nozzles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Combined with the rinse tank, they clean the RoGator out and ready for its next task. So, it is not hard to change from herbicides to fungicides or foliar fertiliser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:49px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"618\" height=\"435\" src=\"https:\/\/croplands.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2020\/12\/Croplands_RG_recovery_618x435px.png\" alt=\"RoGator ClearFlow product recovery\" class=\"wp-image-304\" srcset=\"https:\/\/staging.croplands.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2020\/12\/Croplands_RG_recovery_618x435px.png 618w, https:\/\/staging.croplands.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2020\/12\/Croplands_RG_recovery_618x435px-300x211.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 618px) 100vw, 618px\" \/><figcaption>ClearFlow full-recovery system minimises waste and contamination.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:49px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>A large induction hopper allows for easy mixing of any product, be it liquid or granules, while in the tank the product is constantly moving and mixing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With OptiMotion, the amount of agitation automatically changes as the level in the tank drops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">operator comfort<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Simon says the new RoGator 1300C is really user-friendly.
