Wondering if a Hydralada Slew Boom is worth the investment?
You’re not alone. Many growers ask us:
“Will this really save me time and money?”
So we created a simple 3 step calculator to help you get clear answers on your fuel and labour savings using the new Venture Slew Boom Hydralada.
Step 1: How many 100m rows are you working on?
We base this on 4m row spacing, which equals 25 x 100m rows per hectare.
Just enter how many hectares you're covering this year (or in the period you wish to run the comparison for) including new nets, rain covers, maintenance or anything else and the calculator will give you a total number of 100m rows.
Step 2: Compare the machines
Now, enter your machine details:
- Fuel consumption in litres/hour (you can use our default based on real world testing)
- Time it takes to do a 100m row with your current machine
- Time it would take using the Slew Boom
Step 3: See your savings
- Total Hours Saved
- Fuel Saved (L)
- Efficiency Gain
- ($ Labour Saving)
- ($ Fuel Saving)
This is what smart investment looks like.
And you don’t need to guess — use the calculator to see the results specific to your operation!
