Overview

Hardi NAVIGATOR NAVIGATOR

The HARDI NAVIGATOR includes cosmetic updates with grey shields and some components painted black. One notable update is the proven DynamicFluid4 regulation system.

DF4 software calculates the consequences of changing field conditions and anticipates regulation changes instantly based off four sensor inputs, pump RPM, speed, flow, and pressure. With sensor redundancy built-in, regulation can continue even in the event of a failure. DF4 will allow the 2021 NAVIGATOR to achieve faster response times and increased application precision.

Lastly, the NAVIGATOR with EAGLE SPC booms sizes 80’ – 100’ now offer 4 degrees of negative tilt.

The Liquid System | DynamicFluid4

Fast and reliable
The NAVIGATOR’s fluid system (DynamicFluid4) employs advanced fluid dynamics and application rate control to deliver fast response and accurate target rate application. Pressure, flow, pump speed, forward speed, boom sections, and application rate are monitored and processed using advanced computations. The DynamicFluid4 processor analyses the spraying data 20 times a second and provides pre-emptive rate control capability, altering the pump speed with pinpoint precision.

The proportional hydraulics used to control the pump speed are highly accurate and smooth but incredibly fast.

The liquid system can be operated from the cabin or from the ground.

chassis

Hardi NAVIGATOR Frame

The heavy-duty NAVIGATOR chassis is built in high-tensile Domex steel ensuring exceptional strength. The chassis is built to endure under the most difficult conditions anywhere in the world.

Low center of gravity
A sprayer with a high center of gravity would be very dangerous to operate, and therefore, large efforts have been done to ensure the lowest possible center of gravity for the NAVIGATOR without compromising the clearance under the sprayer.

Unique design with long drawbar
The long drawbar is bolted underneath the frame, providing good driving stability and absorbing up and down forces at high-speed driving.

Excellent crop clearance
The unique design of axle and frame ensures excellent crop clearance, reducing crop damage to the absolute minimum. No brake rods or steering components are lower than the axle.

The drawbar connection on the tractor will always be the lowest point on the sprayer, and, in most cases, also the tractor axle is lower than the sprayer chassis. Important features of the NAVIGATOR design are the drawbar being small in width and one line upwards from the linkage to the axle. The vital clearance under the sprayer axle is excellent, varying from 2.3 - 2.6 ft. depending on tire and wheel set-up.

Hardi NAVIGATOR Service area

Easy inspection of the tank
The lid is located in close proximity to the platform, allowing easy inspection of the tank. The design of the tank gives the operator excellent visibility of the sides as well as the bottom of the tank.

Footstep for easy access
A traversable footstep is fixed at the drawbar to facilitate access to the platform.

Relatively low platform placement
The platform is placed as low as possible for easy access.

Access to electronic system by lifting right cover
To aid in service accessibility the majority of electronic components and connections are located in a box behind the right front cover.

Easy access to fluid system
Excellent service access to the fluid system can be gained through the floor plate of the platform.

Protected placement of gauges
Gauges for monitoring the condition of the suction filter and the pressure gauge are mounted over the platform. This provides excellent visibility from the tractor and good protection from the elements.

Hardi NAVIGATOR IntelliTrack

The NAVIGATOR is also available as a tracked version, where the drawbar is divided in two - a rear part fixed on the frame and a movable front part. The concept of a rearwards inclined pivot axle ensures the best possible geometry for stability and the hydraulic system.

Dynamic Electronic Control (DEC)
IntelliTrack has an integrated safety feature which prevents the cylinders from steering the drawbar when the driving speed is too high for the given track width.

2 cylinders as standard
Tests have shown that 2 cylinders on the drawbar provide better driving stability and far smoother turning of the machine due to the higher oil demand and equal displacement.

Easy connection to the tractor
Once the NAVIGATOR IntelliTrack has been calibrated, the operator only needs to attach 2 small chains to the tractor before starting to spray.

Hardi NAVIGATOR Axles and brakes

Fixed or adjustable axle
The NAVIGATOR 3000 and 4000 is available with a fixed axle with 1.90 m hub distance, allowing for 1.80 m or 2.0 m track width. The individual track width is obtained by turning the wheels. Adjustable axles are available as an option for all models; they are easily adjusted by loosening the bolts.

Excellent crop clearance
The brake system is designed so that no brake components, like brake arms or cylinders, are lower than the main axle.

Brakes
The NAVIGATOR concept allows the farmer to choose whichever brake system he prefers. 5 different options are available. For the 4000-6000 l model, however, a brake must be ordered, leaving only 4 possible choices. Be aware that the road transport laws of the different markets are to be followed.

Minimum inner dimension
The minimum inner dimension between the tires is: 118 cm + space between tyre an frame

Hardi NAVIGATOR SmoothRide

The optional SmoothRide suspension system is incomplex and reliable, requiring little or no service. The suspension gives a better ride of the sprayer, resulting in higher capacity as well as comfort.

2 polyurethane dampers absorb the movements. The dimensions of the dampers ensure that they do not get over-compressed when the tank is empty, which will make them last longer.

During road transport the trailer and consequently the boom will not be pushed so hard. In field conditions the boom suspension will work better so the boom can be run in optimum height over the crop.

Hardi NAVIGATOR ParaLift

Parallelogram lift systems are standard on modern sprayers. The HARDI ParaLift concept has shown its excellent performance on more than 20,000 trailer sprayers. No gliding parts, only horizontal bolts and an automatic mechanical transport lock ensure excellent boom stability with more or less no service. The ParaLift is a push type meaning the cylinder is out when the boom is up.

Easy service
The HARDI ParaLift requires a minimum of service (lubrication, adjustment etc.) compared to traditional H-frame systems.

Hardi NAVIGATOR Main tank

The polyethylene tanks of the NAVIGATOR are produced as one part. They have a very flat surface, no inside walls, and they rest freely in the frame.

Low centre of gravity
To make the sprayer as stable as possible the tank is wider at the bottom and completely integrated in the frame design. This ensures a low centre of gravity.

Liquid is moved forwards as the tank is emptied, thereby maintaining weight on the drawbar. This ensures that the traction on the tractor is maintained, even when going up slopes with an almost empty tank.

Hardi NAVIGATOR RinseTank

The 130 gal RinseTank is the same model as on the COMMANDER models, providing adequate liquid for both inside and outside cleaning.

Placed on axle for added stability
The RinseTank is typically the last tank to be emptied, and its position on the rear axle provides additional stability.

Level indicator
The level indicator is placed on the left hand side in the working zone, allowing step-by-step cleaning.

Rinsing nozzles
Together with the RinseTank, two rinsing nozzles are delivered as standard.

workzone

Hardi NAVIGATOR Pump

To meet the requirements of bigger sprayers and to improve lifetime, HARDI offers the 464 pump. A reduction in pressure drop has been avoided by improving the flow in the diaphragm tops. To easy service, we have integrated lifting hooks while moving two greasing points to the front, to easy lubrication of the front and the rear of the pump. The casted conrod support ring has also been redesigned for improved mechanical life time. The most visible change is the new covers designed to protect the pump from mud and water getting into the system.

  • Self-priming
  • Able to run dry without damage
  • Easy to service
  • Grease-lubricated crankcase

Hardi NAVIGATOR SmartValve

All primary functions needed to operate the sprayer when filling chemicals or cleaning have been built into two main valves. These valves are located in the centre of the working zone.

The logically placed handles and the easy-to-read colourcoded icons make the system very easy to understand and operate and greatly reduce the start-up and operation time of the sprayer.

If an optional filling system, either Pump- Filler or FastFiller, is added, an extra suction valve will be used.

Hardi NAVIGATOR EasyClean filter

The EasyClean filter is a high capacity suction filter. The condition of the filter can be constantly monitored via a SafeSpray vacuum gauge.

This ensures that the filter is cleaned when needed and only when needed. When cleaning the filter, all you have to do is to twist the lid 90°. This will close a main tank valve in the bottom of the filter and open the filter for inspection.

Hardi NAVIGATOR CycloneFilter

The HARDI CycloneFilter is a unique self-cleaning pressure filter that uses a high-speed cyclone for additional cleaning action. The cyclone action increases the cleaning capacity of the filter significantly.

In addition, the CycloneFilter has a unique boost function allowing the filter to be flushed when needed.

Unique cyclone action greatly improves the self-cleaning action
The cyclone created inside the filter increases the speed of the liquid against the filter screen, thereby increasing the effectiveness of the self-cleaning action.

Filter is fitted in an upright position
The filter is fitted in such a position that spill can be avoided when inspecting the filter. This ensures fewer stops and reduced pressure loss in the liquid system.

TurboFiller

The HARDI TurboFiller is developed to handle large quantities of powders and liquids. Its high capacity is achieved through a combination of high vacuum and liquid rotation produced by a TurboDeflector inside the hopper.

High mixing capacity
Liquid at high pressure is being used to create a powerful rotation of the liquid inside the hopper. This movement gives the effect that every powder or liquid chemicals are mixed before they are sucked into the sprayer. The highest capacity is achieved when the TurboFiller is more than half-filled with water.

Optimum filling height
A spring-loaded bracket with transport lock makes it easy to change from field to filling position.

Hardi NAVIGATOR EFC boom section valves

The ElectricFastControl (EFC) is a modular system with a positive drive motor valve for each section and a single pressure dump valve, when all sections are switched to OFF.

The section valves incorporate a pressure dump. When the section is switched to OFF, the pressure in the line to the nozzles is relieved.

This results in instant shut-off at the nozzles. The EFC does not need any form of adjustment, e.g. pressure equalisation.

Hardi NAVIGATOR DynamicFluid4 liquid system

Dynamic fluid system based on 4-sensor technology
The fluid system on the ALPHA evo is a new concept developed to obtain shorter response time and thereby more precise application in the field.

New powerful engines on the ALPHA evo and the hydrostatic transmission have given new driving patterns with more variance in the speed and faster acceleration, factors which together with the GPS controlled section control is challenging for the performance of the liquid system. In a traditional fluid system the regulation is made on feedback from what is already “historical” data. For example the RPM is increased, and shortly after the flow will be too high at the nozzle. When that is measured, the spray computer will regulate the pressure down again but in the meanwhile the application rate has been too high.

The DynamicFluid4 system will calculate the consequences of the increased RPM and make the regulation instantly. The DynamicFluid4 property of pro-acting is based on 4 sensors in the fluid system measuring RPM, position of regulation valves, flow and pressure. Together with new software and new unique ceramic regulation valve, DynamicFluid4 is offering precision in the application rate giving the best performance available on the market.

electronics
