Profi-Class Tridem

Three-axle trailed sprayer — 20,000 l, boom 40–48 m

Tridem is the top of the trailed range: twenty thousand litres in one tank and a boom up to 48 m. Such a tank would make no sense without answers to two questions — how to carry it and how to turn it. The answer is a 30 t tridem bogie with pneumatic suspension that adjusts to the load, and forced-steering first and third axles: the machine follows the tractor's track instead of dragging and crushing crops at the headland. The liquid system remains the same as across the whole Profi-Class line, and the 500 l clean-water tank lets you flush the system without going back for water.

Engineering

Twenty tonnes of liquid on six wheels

The Tridem solves the same problem as the DT 3500H — the weight of a full tank — only on the drawbar and with twice the capacity.

01
How the mechanism works

Third axle and suspension tuned to the load

Three axles spread twenty tonnes of liquid over six contact points. The pneumatic suspension works according to the load, so the machine behaves much the same full or empty — which matters both for soil pressure in the second half of the tank and for braking on the road.

02
Design decisions

Forcibly steered axles, not passively following

On a Tandem, the second axle positions itself through the forces acting in a bend. With three axles and this mass, that is not enough: the first and third axles are steered forcibly, so the machine follows the tractor's track rather than its own arc. The effect is visible at the headland — fewer crushed plants and less tyre wear.

03
What this does not solve

The combination stays long and heavy

Twenty thousand litres requires a tractor with a K80 drawbar, a vertical load of at least 4,000 kg and a D-value from 102.4 kN. On small, fragmented plots such a combination will lose more on manoeuvres than it gains in capacity. The Tridem is a machine for large fields and contract work — and only there does it have an advantage over the Tandem.

Spray pipe 1" instead of standard 1/2"

With a 48 m boom and a high liquid rate, a larger-bore line (D27 for tandem housings) shortens the time the system takes to reach working parameters and reduces the pressure drop at the ends of the wings. This is a price-list item, calculated per metre of boom — the wider the boom, the more it counts.

DCD active boom control

With a forty-eight-metre boom, keeping a constant height above the crop by hand is no longer practical. The DCD system (G26 and variants) guides the boom using ultrasonic sensors — four or six, depending on the version. It is optional equipment, but at this width it is the first thing we ask about.

Konstrukcja · 03

Emptying the residue without spilling on the ground

A 2" connection with a three-way valve in front of the pressure filter (F96-2) allows the remaining liquid to be pumped into another tank — faster and right to the end. With twenty thousand litres, the "residue" can be larger than the entire tank of a small machine.

Comparison

DAMMANN trailed sprayers: Classic, Profi-Class, Tandem, Tridem

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.

Profi-Class Tridem w polu

Contract work measured in thousands of hectares

Twenty thousand litres means rare trips back for water, and a 48 m boom means few passes. For a contractor, both of these translate directly into cost per hectare and into the number of jobs completed within the spraying window.

Very large, regular fields

The Tridem makes the most of its advantage where long runs are possible without frequent turns. The more a field approaches a rectangle, the smaller the share of time consumed by manoeuvring the heavy combination.

Farm with a tractor with a heavy-duty drawbar

A K80 drawbar with a vertical load of at least 4,000 kg and a D-value from 102.4 kN is a requirement, not a recommendation. If the fleet does not include such a tractor, the right answer is a Tandem or a self-propelled machine — not buying a drawbar.

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.
