Hort Force’s ability to offer a complete spray programme is based on a combination of staff, equipment and expertise that deliver our clients a valued, cost effective, quality outcome – we help them maximise kiwifruit quality and yields and avoid any disastrous disease outbreaks and conditions throughout the season.
The Hort Force team have 40 years of combined horticultural spraying experience.
Hort Force Staff – our team of four staff have 40 years of combined horticultural spraying experience between them. There is no situation they are not familiar when dealing with kiwifruit spraying – they know how important correct spray procedure and application is – not only for compliance, but for successful, high quality crop outcomes for their clients.
All our staff are Grosafe certified for handling agri–chemicals and fully compliant with all application technology.
Hort Force Equipment – Hort Force has invested heavily in top quality latest generation spray equipment and tractors. Our spray equipment is calibrated and tuned to make it all capable of delivering exacting levels of spray, of any type, in any situation.
Our spray equipment includes two Vortex 2000L, a Fantini 2000L, a Cropliner 2000L and a Vortex 1500L. All are controlled by the latest generation rate controllers ensuring premium accuracy and spray control.
All our spray equipment has been upgraded with new front intake fans, delivering a more targeted, accurate and quieter operation.
The addition of a second spray ring on each unit has also enhanced their effectiveness – greater uniformity and consistency in coverage is achieved, with uniform droplet size over a wide pressure range.
Specialist spray equipment for kiwifruit orchards offers premium accuracy and spray control.
Our tractor fleet includes three New Holland orchard tractors and a new Ferrari, with a second Ferrari on order. These specialist, high power machines provide consistent reliable power to ensure optimal operation of our specialist spray fleet.
Our weed spraying services have also recently been boosted thanks to the purchase of a Kawasaki Mule – its conventional seating position and low profile make it a safe, logical choice for effective weed spraying in confined orchard situations.
Our low profile Kawasaki Mule makes weed spraying in confined spaces possible.
