Profi-Class Tandem

Two-axle mounted sprayer — 8,000–14,000 l, boom up to 48 m

Tandem answers the arithmetic of a large area: the bigger the tank, the fewer trips back for water, and the faster the transfer between fields, the more hours are left for application. A tank of 8,000–14,000 l and a boom of 30–48 m reduce the number of refills, and the permitted 50 km/h shortens travel where fields are scattered. The load is carried by the 21 t tandem trolley, in which the second axle is steered with a lock: at headland turns it follows the tractor instead of cutting the corner across the crop, and on the road the lock engages and the combination is easy to handle. The liquid system is the same as in Profi-Class — ISOBUS, tandem nozzle bodies, pressure circuit, automatic filter flushing.

Engineering

Steering axle: why the second axle steers itself

A two-axle bogie carries fourteen tonnes of liquid. The problem starts at the headland turn, where rigid axles would have to scrub the tyres and crush crops on the bend.

01
Where the problem comes from

Two rigid axles do not fit through a turn

The tandem bogie has axles 2.2 m apart. In a turn each wants to travel on a different radius, and since both are rigid, the difference is absorbed by lateral tyre slip. In the field this shows as a worn arc and crushed crops on the headland; on the tyres — as wear that has nothing to do with the kilometres driven.

02
How the mechanism works

The second axle follows the tractor and locks on the road

The steering axle sets itself to the direction of travel: at the headland the machine follows the tractor's track instead of cutting the corner. When driving on the road — especially at the permitted 50 km/h — a free axle would be dangerous, so it is locked. The 21 t bogie carries the load on pneumatic suspension, so a full and an empty tank steer and brake the same way.

03
Common mistakes

The largest tank does not always cover the most hectares

Fourteen thousand litres make sense for fields far from the filling point. When water is close and plots are small, a bigger machine delivers the same treatment more slowly: it takes longer to fill, is harder to turn and needs a stronger hitch. That is why the sizing on this page asks about field layout first.

Konstrukcja · 01

Pump 500 l/min as standard equipment

With a boom approaching 48 m and high liquid rates, pump capacity sets the limit of working speed. On the Tandem the 500 l/min pump is standard — in smaller lines it is a priced option. For a machine of this tank size, another choice would make no sense.

Full-width boom lighting

Four LED working lights (E184) — two on the centre frame and two at the joints — illuminate the whole boom, not just its middle. At 48 m the difference is fundamental: at night the operator sees the wings and what happens to them over uneven ground.

Bump strips at the wing ends

Option G200 adds three-metre plastic strips to the ends of the boom arms. They take the contact with the ground or a post when working close to obstacles — it is cheaper to replace a strip than to straighten the boom tip.

Comparison

The four lines differ in two respects at once: the chassis (how many axles carry how many litres) and the equipment of the liquid system. The first sets the limit of output, the second — of precision.

Applications

Profi-Class Tandem w polu

Large fields far from the filling point

The further to water, the more of the day is taken up by travel. A 12,000–14,000 l tank covers a many times larger area per filling, and 50 km/h shortens the journey itself. This is exactly the situation in which the Tandem beats a mid-class self-propelled machine.

PszenicaRzepakKukurydza

Farm with a slow tractor at peak time

The Tandem costs less than a self-propelled machine of similar output, but it requires a tractor available for the whole duration of the operations. If the tractor is hauling or cultivating in that time, the saving turns into a delay in spraying.

Contract work on scattered fields

The permitted 50 km/h and large tank together shorten travel time and the number of stops — two items that make up the cost of a service calculated per hectare.

The most common questions we hear from farms before purchase.

We have collected the questions we most often hear from farms before purchase — and the answers from our engineers. Every answer is based on verified knowledge of the machine.

Answers based on the experience of thousands of farms in Europe.

An engineer answers

The standard number of sections depends on the machine and boom width — from 5 on the smallest Classic to 14 on the wide booms of the Tandem and Tridem. Each section beyond the standard is a separate item in the manufacturer's price list, and its index depends on the type of nozzle body (single, tandem, four-nozzle). The configurator on this page handles this itself: if you select more sections than the machine has as standard, it will add the missing item and tell you which one it is.

An engineer answers

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.

An engineer answers

What matters is not engine power but the drawbar and brakes. For the largest Tandem 14,000 l, the manufacturer states directly: lower hitch K80, drawbar load from 3,500 kg, D-value from 87.2 kN, braked trailer from 23,500 kg and tractor mass up to 16,000 kg. For the Tridem, respectively 4,000 kg, 102.4 kN and 34,000 kg. For smaller machines the requirements are lower, but we check them in the same way — when making an enquiry, please provide the tractor's make, model and drawbar equipment.

An engineer answers

The inside of the system, not the tank. The Classic has mechanical valve control and single nozzle bodies. The Profi-Class is built like the mounted sprayers from DAMMANN: tandem nozzle bodies with electropneumatic shut-off, a pressurised circuit before the nozzles open, large filters with automatic flushing, and electropneumatic boom levelling. From the outside the two machines look similar — the difference shows only when changing rate and when working to maps.

An engineer answers

In a conventional layout the liquid reaches the nozzles only once the section opens — the first metres of the pass go untreated, and when changing product the previous one remains in the lines. The pressurised circuit keeps the liquid circulating right up to the nozzles: the section opens instantly, and flushing the system is effective because there are no dead legs. On the Profi-Class, Tandem and Tridem it comes as standard equipment.

An engineer answers

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.

An engineer answers

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.
