John Deere has expanded its compact self-propelled sprayer offering with its new 300M. Featuring Deere’s latest Precision Ag tech, a small turning radius and two types of booms (with or without air sleeve), the 300M is being marketed as Deere’s new specialist sprayer for narrow areas and high-value crops.
With the 332M and the 340M, two new variants have been introduced. The 332M offers a tank size of 3,200 litres and a 175hp four-cylinder John Deere engine. A boom width of up to 28 metres and a turning circle of 3.8metres are ideally suited for work in narrow areas.
The 340M has a tank size of 4,000 litres and a working width of up to 36 metres. This width, the 225hp six-pot John Deere engine and a turning circle of 4.2 metres facilitate high performance and compact operation.

Track width
Automatically adjustable track width from 150-180cm, 180-225cm and 225-300cm allow flexible use in all types of crops. The manufacturer says the 50:50 weight distribution reduces soil compaction. With their compact design and all-wheel steering, both variants of the 300M are suited for narrow roads and field work in any situation.
The 300M is equipped with the latest John Deere Precision Ag essentials, such as the StarFire Receiver, the G5Plus Universal Display and JD Link. The new cab position is said to provide all-round and boom visibility. It comes with a suspended and heated seat, with the new CAT 4 cabin equipped with the latest filter technology for a safe operator environment.
Boom
Both models of the 300M are offered with a steel boom and a stainless-steel boom with an air sleeve. Both are also available with individual nozzle control.
Deere says that particularly when used in high-value crops, the air-assisted boom of the 300M provides excellent coverage of tall and leafy crops with increased penetration of the crop canopy.
The air curtain opens the crop and swirls the spray into the foliage making it ideal for lettuce, vegetables and strawberries.
The ‘PowrSpray’ two-circuit liquid pump system design is also a key feature on the 300M. It offers fast filling of up to 600l/min and a precise output of 750l/min at a pressure of three bar.
According to the manufacturer, its unique design and fast response time of three seconds from minimum to maximum, the centrifugal spray pump with direct rate control offers an accuracy of 98%. The PowrSpray technology, already familiar from the trailed model R700i, offers a variety of advantages such as easy filling thanks to Active Pause and the 50-litre PowrFill eductor.
