1...Steel Hayes Spraying always has and always will use Australian made steel because it is a higher strength than imported steel. Our products are made with dual grade high tensile strength steel that gives reasonable flex without compromising the integrity of the product.
2...Tanks The tanks are manufactured from a UV stabilised polyethylene specifically formulated for chemical use. The smooth interior and integral sump enables complete decontamination and full drainage. They have sight gauges fitted for easy viewing of the tank level.
3...Paint Our booms and equipment are finished with chemical resistant two-pack polyurethane paint. The paint is applied in our purpose built paint booth using electrostatic process for ultimate adhesion and wrapping. Most products are finished in our custom “Hayes Blue” blend; however we do have an option to finish in John Deere Green or Case Black depending on your preference. Touch up paint is available through our Spare Parts department.
To protect the paintwork and presentation of your new boomspray it will require regular washing at the end of every spraying session. When using hydrocarbon based products (e.g. Ester, Treflan, Avadex) a strict external method is required using clean water. Do not allow dust to build up and turn to chemical impregnated mud. Any neat chemical spills onto paintwork will require immediate washdown.
4...Hose The plumbing hose used is nitrile lined and specifically rated for chemical use. The black covering is specifically chosen for its anti-aging characteristics. We warranty all hoses for 5 years.
5...Fittings All of our pump assemblies are fitted with stainless steel fittings for maximum chemical resistance. Nickel plated brass ball valves are also fitted as standard and can be upgraded to stainless steel.
All hoses and fittings used are common sizes, they are not unique to Hayes Spraying. They are available at any agricultural spraying or hardware store.
Above all we listen, we customise and we aim to consistently innovate without further complication.
Exclusions At the discretion of Hayes Spraying Pty Ltd, the defective part must be returned to Hayes Spraying Pty Ltd at the owners cost. Times for wash down, transportation costs or insurance costs for sprayers are not warranted. Travel and communication are not covered by warranty.
Alternatively, Hayes Spraying endeavour s to bring the widest possible range of products to agricultural field days such as Aq Quip in Gunnedah, New South Wales and Farmfest in Toowoomba, Queensland.
Office hours are from 8am – 5pm Monday – Friday.

However, we do have a fully stocked Spare Parts Department with very competitive prices that can forward freight to most places overnight.
In the south with a different soil type and more rolling terrain we find the single wheel more popular, as they require more flotation when the country is wet. An increasing trend towards floatation tyres has seen many of these customers now moving into tandem axle machines.
The rear mounted booms have been requested more so in the south. One advantage is that you are able to back up and spray out of a corner as all the boom is in one line behind the wheels, unlike the front mounted boom where we have a step in the boom plumbing of approximately six metres to allow us to spray behind the centre section and wheel tracks.
It is true that Centrifugal pumps can’t be run dry, but when purchased on a Hayes sprayer they are fitted with a low pressure alarm to eliminate this problem. Centrifugal pumps are now also available in stainless steel, providing improved durability and resistance to harsh chemicals and fertilisers. There is also a 2” inlet model that can be set up to fill and run the boom. We commonly set centrifugal pumps up to operate up to 4 bar pressure, we don’t like to run these pumps for long periods above 5 bar or you will shorten the life of the hydraulic motor.
Diaphragm pumps do stand out when you require high pressures of 6 bar and above, but look carefully at the nozzles you require as there are now many low pressure nozzles on the market that will also give you a coarse droplet. For those of you who don’t know, the high pressure air induction nozzles have an internal metering section which sets the nozzle flow, but the exit nozzle is 2 ½ to 3 times larger than this, so with many high pressure air injection nozzles, if you have 6 bar pressure on your pressure gauge your true exit pressure is closer to 2 bar. No one at this stage has been able to prove the existence of air filled droplets, but they definitely do produce coarse droplets that are less prone to drift.
