Crop Spraying by Air in Alberta

Aircraft

Air Tractor 502B

Powered by a Pratt & Whitney PT6A-34AG turbine engine rated at 750 horsepower, our Air Tractor 502B has a hopper capacity of 500 gallons.

Working speed averages 135 mph with 140 mph average cruise. Swath width varies from 65 - 75 feet depending on the specific application.

A Hemisphere G.P.S. with Flow Control & Data Logging ensures swath accuracy. CP straight stream nozzles provide excellent spray deposition with uniform droplet sizes. Drop booms ensure thorough coverage with less drift potential.

The quiet, reliable turbine engine has vastly reduced maintenance downtime and noise complaints, allowing us to spray more efficiently while being better neighbours.

The Air Tractors reliability, speed, fuel range, and large capacity has allowed us to provide customers 70 miles away with the same high level of service our local producers have come to expect.

Cessna Ag-Truck

Powered by a Continental IO 550-D engine producing 325 horsepower, our Cessna Ag-Truck has a useful hopper capacity of 200 gallons.

Working speed averages 120 mph with 130 mph average cruise.

Swath width varies from 55 - 60 feet depending on application. A Hemisphere Litestar II G.P.S. with Data Logging provides accurate swath guidance.

Drop booms ensure thorough coverage with less drift potential. Flat fan nozzles provide exceptional spray deposition with uniform droplet sizes.

The Ag-Trucks lower operating costs allow us to book smaller jobs, which wouldn't otherwise be economical.

Cessna 140

Powered by a Lycoming 0290-D engine producing 135 horsepower, our 140 cruises at 115 mph.

During the spray season, GMWP is used by Brian & Mark to economically scout jobs for obstructions and drift concerns, as well as checking that weather is suitable to begin spraying (no fog, rain, excessive wind speed).
