Self-propelled DAMMANN-trac — wheel track and ground clearance adjustable from the cab
The Highlander is the answer for a farm where there is not one crop and one type of field. Ground clearance here changes from 1,100 to 1,800 mm, and wheel track from 2.25 to 3.05 m — both hydraulic adjustments, operated from the cab, also while driving. The same machine therefore runs in grain tramlines and in the wide row spacing of maize, without reconfiguring in the workshop and without the compromise that usually has to be made once and for all at purchase. The 4,400 or 5,000 l tank and 24–42 m boom place the machine in the mid-range class, but the fully steered chassis and hydrostatic drive belong to the top tier of the DAMMANN-trac range.
Why cab-controlled adjustment changes the purchase sum
Track width and ground clearance are usually chosen once, when the machine is ordered. The Highlander moves that decision from the day of purchase to the working day, and that is the whole point of its design.
One machine, crops with different row spacing
Cereals and oilseed rape are driven in tramlines spaced at roughly 1.8–2.25 m. Maize, sunflowers and seed crops have wider row spacing and a taller canopy. A machine set for one of these either cannot fit its wheels between the rows or breaks the plants with its belly. A farm growing both crop groups therefore faces a choice: a second machine, outside contractors, or giving up late treatments.
Two hydraulic adjustments, both within reach
Ground clearance varies from 1,100 to 1,800 mm, and track width from 2,250 to 3,050 mm. Both adjustments are hydraulic and controlled from the cab, including while driving, so reconfiguring the machine does not mean leaving the field or reaching for a spanner. The chassis is fully steered: the electronics control all the wheels, so with the boom extended the turn is shorter and fewer tracks are left on the headland.

The tank stays in the mid-size class
Variable geometry costs tank capacity: 4,400 or 5,000 l is less than the DT 2800H (up to 7,000 l) and considerably less than the DT 3500H. On a large area with a distant filling point, the number of water refills will limit the working day sooner than anything else. The Highlander is a machine for difficult fields, not for maximum daily output, and the selection on this page follows exactly that limit.
Hill-Control: body held level on slopes
On a sloping field the machine tilts with the terrain: one side of the boom dips and the liquid in the tank flows to the lower side. Hill-Control (position DN5 in the price list, intended precisely for the Highlander) keeps the body level regardless of the incline, together with the hydraulics and software. It is optional equipment, not standard.
Changing track width while driving
Hydraulic track width adjustment moves the wheels in two stages without stopping the machine; on the Highlander the range is 2.25–3.05 m. Versions for narrower and wider tramlines (positions S110, S122, S123) differ in range and tyre selection; you choose them according to the technology in which the machine will work most often.
Stalk deflectors for narrow wheels
Narrow, tall wheels fit between the rows, but in dense crops they gather stems in front of them. The deflectors (S115) push the stems aside before they reach the tyre, leaving fewer broken plants in row crops and less material wrapping around the wheel.
Spray cone lighting for night work
The HD-Night LUX (E10) lights the spray from each nozzle, not just the general area in front of the machine. At night a blocked nozzle is visible immediately; without this it is noticed in the morning, from the streaks across the field. The set also includes an obstacle detector and ambient lighting.
DAMMANN-trac: DT 2400H Highlander vs DT 2800H vs DT 3500H
Three machines on one drive platform. They differ not in “power”, but in what they are meant to run on: the Highlander changes track width and ground clearance, the DT 2800H keeps to the typical grain tramlines, and the DT 3500H spreads its weight across three axles.

DT 2400H S5 Highlander — specyfikacja
DT 2400H S5 Highlander w polu
Late treatments in tall crops
Ground clearance raised to 1,800 mm allows driving into maize, sunflowers and seed crops at stages when an ordinary machine starts breaking plants. This is the work the Highlander was built for, and the most common reason a farm chooses it over the DT 2800H.
A farm with two tramline systems
If cereals are driven on 2.25 m tramlines and row crops require 3 m, a machine with fixed track width will serve one group well and the other badly. Changing the track width from the cab removes that choice: the journey between fields is also the reconfiguration.
Fields with weaker bearing capacity and early dates
The 18 t mass spread across four driven wheels and a suspension that adjusts to the load allow you to enter the field earlier than with a heavy tractor plus trailed sprayer set. For regular work on organic soils, consider the wider tyres from the equipment list and the tyre pressure regulation system.

Answers based on the experience of thousands of farms in Europe.
Yes — across the full DAMMANN field range, the ISOBUS terminal is standard equipment, together with automatic section control. The number of sections depends on the model and boom width. In the tractor, a compatible ISOBUS UT terminal is sufficient.
DAMMANN-trac machines have no gearbox, axles or differentials: each wheel is driven by its own hydraulic motor supplied from a pump. In practice this means three things. First, a wheel with weaker traction does not take torque away from the others — which is what a differential does. Second, speed is adjusted smoothly from creep speed up to 40 km/h without switching ranges, so the application rate does not jump when the pace changes. Third, there are no drive shafts running the length of the machine, and that space is taken by the frame for the implement.
Yes, and that is the purpose of the design: the carrier frame is mounted at three points, and the implement stands on its own parking supports (price list item A88, with wide tyres A90). After removing the sprayer, a mounted fertiliser spreader fits onto the same frame — it requires preparation R50 and, if the spreader is driven, a second hydraulic circuit H06. These are price list items, not standard equipment; when enquiring, state whether you plan a second implement, as they are added at the factory.
Category 4 according to EN 15695-1:2009 is a cab that protects against vapours and aerosols of plant protection products: it operates under positive pressure and with a carbon filter, so air enters only through the filter. An ordinary air-conditioned cab does not provide this — it protects against dust, not against the product. On DAMMANN-trac machines, the category 4 cab is standard equipment.
Depends on the machine: DT 2400H and DT 2800H have 250 l of diesel and 25 l of AdBlue, DT 3500H — 380 l and 40 l. In practice both sizes are sufficient for a full shift without stopping for fuel; the bottleneck of the working day is water, not diesel, which is why the liquid tank capacity is chosen according to the distance to the filling point.
We start from the fields, not the catalogue: seasonal area, spread and size of plots, soil bearing capacity, crops and crop height, and tractor availability at the peak of spraying. On this basis we determine the machine class, tank capacity and boom width, and only then the equipment. You can start the selection yourself — the “Sprayer selection” tool on this page guides you through the same questions, and the configurator assembles the machine item by item according to the manufacturer’s price list structure.
Yes. As an authorised distributor, we order parts for DAMMANN machines directly from the manufacturer, using DAMMANN catalogue numbers. Service requests are handled by our after-sales team — a service request requires the machine’s serial number and year of manufacture.
