CROPLINER XL PROVIDES NUTTY SOLUTION<\/span><\/h1>

Joe Sgambelloni, a chestnut grower from Myrtleford, VIC, was facing a common challenge: how to effectively spray trees that tower up to 13 metres tall. His old air-blast sprayer just wasn\u2019t cutting it.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n

<\/p>\nOur old sprayer was only reaching about 80% of the tree. The Cropliner gets right to the top\u201410 out of 10<\/em><\/strong>.<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

— Joe Sgambelloni, Myrtleford, VIC<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With 70 acres of chestnuts and a canopy full of fruit at the top, Joe needed a sprayer with serious reach. After a chat with Brendan from McGregor Machinery, he was introduced to the Croplands Territory Manager Brett Kay and the Cropliner XL. A demo sealed the deal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s just a great unit. Well-built, powerful fan, and it does exactly what we need it to do,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joe also praised the customer service from both McGregor Machinery and Croplands, with Brett helping Joe fine-tune the machine with a flow meter and jet adjustments to suit varying spray volumes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBrett was fantastic. He came out, brought different jets, adjusted the machine\u2014it was great service.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With years of experience and a strong relationship with his local dealer, Joe says he wouldn\u2019t hesitate to recommend Croplands to other growers with tall trees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf anyone\u2019s after a sprayer for tall trees, I\u2019d highly recommend using something from Croplands. I wouldn\u2019t go past them,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
