In August, Case IH introduced the new 660-gallon Patriot 2250 sprayer. Since then, the small-chassis sprayer has made a big impact. After earning ShowStopper recognition from CropLife IRON at this year’s Illinois Fertilizer & Chemical Association MAGIE show, the Patriot 2250 sprayer is now up for the CropLife IRON 2015 Product of the Year.
During its fall farm show debut, the latest addition to the award-winning Patriot series sprayer family received great feedback for its impressive horsepower, torque and capacities built to cover more acres, more efficiently.[Tweet “Cast your vote for the Patriot 2250 sprayer as Product of the Year.

While it’s an honor to have the Patriot 2250 sprayer nominated as one of five finalists for Product of the Year, what’s more important is what’s happening right now in your fields. As you roll through harvest, look around. If you notice areas where weeds, insects or other pests are hurting yields, consider a sprayer upgrade come spring.
