To achieve more in a shorter time with less machines – due to this strategy companies today manage to work successfully and to remain competitive. As a manufacturer of plant production technology it is our objective to support the farmers with efficient and precise technology.
Our engineers work hard to find the appropriate solutions for the special requirements on application technology in the plant protection sector and to design an efficient and flexible sprayer for a wide range of use.
With the Leeb VL we respond to the requirements “more clearance” and “flexible track”. Depending on vegetation and season the sprayer can flexibly adapt to the operational conditions and the challenges to provide our customers and their crops with utmost efficiency. There are many equipment versions for Leeb VL that make sure that it can perfectly adapt to any task.
Flexible track – flexible height
Clearance of up to 6.5 ft and a track width of up to 13.1 ft
Up to 29.5 in wide tires are possible
Anti-slip control for optimum traction
Excellent manoeuvrability
Excellent manoeuvrability due to standard all-wheel steering
The central tube frame allows for a turning radius of only 11.4 ft
High-performance chassis
The pneumatically spring-loaded chassis guarantees a stable road and field handling at high speeds.
ComfortDriveFlex chassis
The front cabin on the central tube frame and the boom in parallelogramm suspension guarantee an optimum weight distribution – on the road and in the field.
The arrangement allows for enough space for a tank capacity of up to 2113 gal and a constantly high driving stability with an optimum weight distribution of 50 : 50.
Each wheel of the standard chassis ComfortDriveFlex is individually suspended at the slide frame. The result is an excellent driving comfort.
The pneumatic individual wheel suspension adapts to the ground. The result is an extremely comfortable driving experience, and the boom control system is supported positively.
Due to the smooth driving characteristics, the boom control system easily manages to keep the balance even at higher speeds.
The flexible clearance of up to 6.5 ft (depending on the tires) allows for protecting the plants while working even in high populations.
Automotive drive control
Automotive drive control with standard equipment:
Maximum load control
Overspeed control
Driving with reduced motor speed
Speed control
Headland management
The driving strategy can either be determined with the accelerator pedal or with the control lever. For changing you do not have to switch.

Tier 5 according to current EU exhaust emission standard
408 cubic inch-six-cylinder FPT engine
Turbo motor with charge air cooling
The Common-Rail system convinces with an impressive performance of max. 230 kW / 310 HP.
Maximum torque of 1 160 Nm of 1 500 U/min
25 resp. 31 m/h on the road with 1 500 U/min
In field mode when the boom is folded in up to 16 m/h and up to 20 m/h when the boom is folded out at1 300 U/min and load-dependent adaption
