With its teamwork of shape and performance, the UF 2002 convinced and inspired the iF Jury, consisting of experts and designers from all over the world. The jury’s evaluation criteria included, in addition to the quality of design, the finish and material choice, the degree of innovation and the environmental compatibility, its functionality and ergonomics and, finally, a visualisation of use and safety.

The UF 02 mounted sprayer is available in tank capacities of 1,000 l, 1,300 l, 1,600 l and 2000 l. The specially shaped, polyethylene tank is integrated into the main frame to give a favourable centre of gravity. The advantages of this tank design are the absolutely smooth internal and external walls of the tank, the rounded internal design and the low positioned sump on the bottom of the tank. This allows for quick, effective tank cleaning as well as minimal residual volumes.

Filling of the tank is carried out, both when suction filling and also when pressurised filling, close to the bottom of the tank. This eliminates any tendency to foam during the filling procedure. For an intensive agitation capacity and to prevent any deposits settling in the tank, the agitator is also positioned down on the tank floor. The internal cleaning nozzle, the tank breather and the easily opened, domed lid are positioned right up in the tank.

Due to the large tank volumes of the UF 02, it is of importance to link the machine to the tractor with an as favourable a centre of gravity as possible. To ensure this, the UF 02 is equipped with two different link arm positions for different tractors. Guide plates in front of the frame help to link the lower link arms to the non-rotating, lower link pins.

The new parking system is completely integrated in the frame. As an option, the patented system can be equipped with castor wheels that remain on the machine even during operation. Via its simple and robust mechanical design, the parking stands or rollers can be quickly swivelled from the transport position up into the work position. Any troublesome removal of parking rollers or skids is avoided.

For an even more stress-free coupling and uncoupling of the UF 02, it can be equipped with the optional quick coupling system. In conjunction with the TeleSpace PTO shaft, or the hydraulic pump drive, the machine can easily be hitched on and off.

The intensity of the hydraulic agitator can, steplessly, be reduced down to nothing in order to avoid any foaming of the crop protection agent or to facilitate spraying out the remaining tank contents.

Everything thought of! Fill level and cleaning
The fill level can be read off both via a pointer or from the operator terminal. High-performance, rotating nozzles clean the spray agent tank internally. Short pipe runs and hose cross-sectional areas as small as possible make for low residual volumes. Continuous internal cleaning is available as an option (not with Flow Control⁺).
