During rigorous testing, Hawkeye 2 proved unmatched uniformity
and consistency across the sprayer boom, outperforming the nearest
competitors by up to 250%. This reduces drift and increases
application quality. Additionally, individual nozzle control and
turn compensation eliminates skips, overlaps and misapplication in
the field. Hawkeye 2 earned validation from the prestigious
European testing organization, Julius Kühn-Institut, and secured a
partnership for the company with a strategic international OEM.
“After running Hawkeye 2 for a season, I’m 100% convinced it was
the right way to go,” said Lance Bell, a beta tester from Weldon,
Iowa. “We mapped and sprayed across every waterway — the individual
nozzle control worked great. Our usage of chemical was down, and
our productivity increased a ton. Using Hawkeye 2 to set and
maintain a consistent pressure, we were able to adjust for how the
wind was blowing that day to stay consistent.”
“Hawkeye 2 offers optimal accuracy and is simple to use and
maintain,” said Brian Meyer, Vice President of Raven Applied
Technology. “This advanced solution enables operators with the
capability to perform complex applications with ease and
consistency across the boom. This reduces operator fatigue,
optimizes input costs and increases application quality.
“Hawkeye 2 builds on Raven’s commitment to sprayer efficacy.
Increased flow per nozzle and variable PWM frequency provide our
customers the ability to dynamically compensate to the varying
conditions of agriculture.”
