Goldacres

Goldacres is an agricultural chemical spray equipment manufacturer and supplier based in Ballarat, Victoria. The company builds sprayers for Australian farms of every size, from small hobby holdings to large broadacre properties. Its range covers self-propelled, trailing, three-point linkage, traymount and 12-volt machines. The business says it has four decades of experience building rugged chemical handling equipment.

Self-propelled and trailing sprayers

The self-propelled models are the G8, G6 and G4 Crop Cruisers. Trailing sprayers include the Prairie Pro, Prairie Special, Prairie Compact, Prairie Compact S and Prairie Rowcrop, along with compact ATV engine and 12-volt variants. Trailing units are offered for both broadacre and smaller operations.

Linkage, booms and traymounts

Three-point linkage sprayers come in small-frame, medium-frame and large-frame models, with chemical capacities from 450 to 2000 litres and booms from four to 30 metres. Boom options include hydraulic, manual, towbar and boomless nozzle designs, and the company says its booms are built for strong construction and superior control. Traymount units such as the RTV300, Spotmate, Traymate and T3 suit spot or boom spraying from a ute or trailer, and Pro-Reel hose reels complete the range. The T3 is the company's weed terminator, combining a 300-litre tank, a Honda engine and a powerful spray pump. The RTV300 suits rough terrain vehicles, while the 12-volt Traymate handles spot or boom spraying. The range also includes backpack and compression spray equipment, along with accessories. The company describes its philosophy as giving farmers equipment and technology that delivers.
