A cool machine.  Filmed via drone over northern Wisconsin.  Some specifications:
For 2014, the R4030 and R4038 replace the R4730 and 4830 sprayers and have been completely redesigned to be easier to use, operate at higher speeds and deliver a more precise metering of product on level and uneven terrain. The R4030 is an 800-gallon sprayer powered by a 280-horsepower 6.8L PowerTech Plus engine mated to a four-wheel hydrostatic drive that is designed to operate at speeds of up to 20 mph in the field and 30 mph during transport. The R4038 is a 1000-gallon sprayer powered by a 310-horsepower 9.0L PowerTech Plus engine, also with four-wheel hydrostatic drive and with the ability to operate at speeds of up to 25 mph in the field and 35 mph during transport. Both powerplants achieve EPA Final Tier 4 (FT4) emissions requirements through a number of technologies including cooled exhaust gas recirculation (EGR), diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) and a diesel particulate filter (DPF).
