John Deere Introduces LESCO Z-Two Spreader/ Sprayer

CARY, North Carolina — John Deere Landscapes is pleased to introduce its new LESCO Z-Two Spreader/Sprayer, now available for pre-order.

The Z-Two Spreader/Sprayer contains a 19-HP, high-performance Kawasaki engine, appropriate for any tough application. Granular and liquid products can be applied in a single pass with the agility of Zero Turn control, ultimately optimizing productivity on the jobsite.

The unit features ergonomic controls, an extra-wide stance for stability and high ground clearance. The Z-Two comes complete with a 40-gallon liquid application tank and hand-held wand for spot spraying. The unique wand is an 82-inch, five-nozzle, electric solenoid boom that operates left, right, center or in all directions. The unit also features a 125-lb. LESCO electric spreader with remote-actuated gate and side deflector.

The unique design of the spreader and boom on a standard 2-in. hitch assembly allows the operator to move the spreader from the rear to the front, add an additional spreader to the front, or remove and attach the spreader and/or boom to a utility vehicle or truck.

Additionally, the Z-Two Spreader/Sprayer comes with a carrying tray for additional granular storage. And an optional 15-gallon spot sprayer can be installed as well.

Video: Spring weed control in winter wheat with Broadway® Star (pyroxsulam + florasulam)

#CortevaTalks brings you a short update with Cereal Herbicides Category Manager, Alister McRobbie, on how to get the most out of Broadway® Star.

Significant populations of grassweeds, including ryegrass and brome, can threaten winter wheat yields. Spring applications of a contact graminicide, such as Broadway Star from Corteva Agriscience, can clear problem weeds, allowing crops to grow away in the spring.

Broadway Star (pyroxsulam + florasulam) controls ryegrass, sterile brome, wild oats and a range of broad-leaved weeds such as cleavers. It can be applied to winter wheat up until GS32, but the earlier the application is made, the smaller the weed, and the greater the benefit to the crop. Weeds should be actively growing. A good rule of thumb is that if your grass needs cutting, conditions are right to apply Broadway Star.
