“Most of the growth in the sprayer industry has been in the grower market in recent years,” said Sharitz. “That’s why AGCO has designed the RG700 from the ground up for farmers who want to handle their own spraying requirements. It’s lighter, easy to operate and offers the perfect tank size to fit most grower operations.”

Although primarily targeted for the grower market, the RG700 also offers versatility for ag retailers and their professional applicators to meet spraying requirements suitable for smaller acre applications.
