Bigger isn’t always better, particularly when it comes to getting equipment into the field. That’s why the new Case IH Patriot 2240 – a Class 2, self-propelled sprayer – is a welcomed addition to the Patriot sprayer line.

“The Patriot 2240 sprayer is smaller, lighter, and offers a narrower track spacing than its larger family members,” says Mark Burns, of Case IH.

The Patriot 2240 sprayer shares the same DNA as its larger siblings, the Patriot 3230, 3330, and 4430 self-propelled sprayers. The 2240 keeps the cab-forward, rear-engine configuration to ensure optimum weight distribution to minimize compaction or rutting potential. The trailing-link suspension offers a smooth ride, and the three-speed hydrostatic transmission provides reliable shifting as well as efficient transfer of engine power to the ground. The Patriot 2240 offers big sprayer features like optional automatic boom section control, automatic boom height control, AFS AccuGuide autoguidance, and AIM Command spray system.

“The Patriot 2240 offers two boom lengths, two different plumbing configurations, a centrally located service center, and a wide range of precision agriculture technology options all of which are designed to provide a quality application and make the best use of your time in the field,” adds Burns.

Designed to deliver more productivity with less fuel, the new sprayer comes with a Tier 4A-compliant 165 hp., 6.7-liter Case IH FPT engine. This Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) system offers a fuel savings of up to 10% over Tier 3 engines.

Base price for the Patriot 2240 sprayer is $202,433.
