2023 Hardi Commander 5500

Farming practices are constantly changing. Farmers are met with a daily challenge to improve capacity and reduce operating costs. To help you to meet this challenge HARDI has developed the COMMANDER trailed sprayers.

The COMMANDER is designed to meet the demands of the modern professional farmer world-wide. This generation of sprayers is designed to lead the way in capacity, reliability, safety, optimization, ease of operation and precision.

The TWIN FORCE boom employs the world’s best system for spray control. Using an adjustable curtain of air to entrain and direct the spray, TWIN FORCE can reduce drift by an astounding 80%, allowing you to save time, money and reduce the environmental impact

Achieve higher precision in your spray job by avoiding over-spraying, while reducing your expenses and the environmental impacts, with the use of field maps. Imported over-the-air or using USB sticks, field maps also makes it easier to work in conditions of low visibility such as dust or darkness.

The WorkZone area contains all primary functions placed in an easy to reach position, designed to be simple and logical to understand and operate

Features may include:

Perfect Steering

With the HARDI SafeTrack you do not have to choose between either tight turning radius or stability. This ensures a minimum of crop damage combined with safe and user-friendly operation.

A computer constantly monitors forward speed and turning radius to make sure that the correction made by the tracking system is as safe as possible.

SafeTrack ensures that the boom is always 100% perpendicular to the tramlines. This ensures perfect application when turning at the end of the fields.

Designed for high-speed driving

The heavy-duty COMMANDER chassis and axles are designed for high speed driving under the most demanding field and road conditions ready to meet the tough demands of the professional farmer.

The platform is compact and very easy to access and gives you unobstructed access to the tank lid. The rear and floor plate can be removed allowing easy access to the fluid and electric system.

The design of the chassis with all steel parts located as low as possible in combination with a perfect match with the polyethylene tank provides low centre of gravity. The 500 l RinseTank is placed over the rear axle and provides extra stability.

The chassis as well as all other steel components have been pre-treated with zinc phosphate before a high quality coating of powder paint. This treatment provides outstanding protection against corrosion from chemicals and harsh weather conditions.

High comfort level on the road and in the field

The strong hydraulic cylinders absorb the shock loads instead of transferring them to the boom and the tractor. This offers you a high comfort level at high driving and spraying speeds.

The drawbar and axle on the COMMANDER 7000 l are as standard fully suspended. Axle suspension on 5500 l is an option. The full up and down load at the drawbar from the sprayer to the tractor is transferred through rubber dampers built into the chassis.
