Struggling with inconsistent spraying? Husqvarna's sprayer is the right tool for the job.

06 October 2026

At River Valley Farm in KZN, Hilton Allan explains why they moved to Husqvarna's petrol-powered sprayers for their vegetable operation. With smaller blocks, trellised crops, and different spraying requirements, versatility and consistent application matter. He shares how the sprayers reduce manual pumping, help maintain consistent pressure, and work across crops ranging from lettuce and spinach to tomatoes and peppers – plus why reliable dealer support remains an important part of the equation. 🌐 www.husqvarna.com/za/ #HusqvarnaSA #Sprayer #FarmSpace #WeSpeakFarmer 0:00 – Why the right sprayer matters on a vegetable farm 0:42 – Meet River Valley Farm in KZN 1:20 – Why they needed a better spraying solution 1:40 – Moving beyond conventional sprayers 2:10 – One sprayer for different crops and applications 2:51 – The problem with operator fatigue and inconsistent spraying 3:24 – Why they chose the 15-litre option 3:50 – How much can one tank cover? 4:07 – Biologicals and agrochemicals with the same sprayer 5:05 – Rebuilding depleted soil through biology 5:59 – When biologicals alone aren’t enough 6:38 – Food and worker safety on the farm 7:39 – From River Valley Farm to supermarkets and export markets 8:32 – Can this replace a tractor sprayer? 9:29 – How does the sprayer perform after real farm use? 10:27 – Husqvarna’s easy-start system explained 11:04 – Two years of heavy use: how has it held up? 11:28 – Why servicing and dealer support matter 12:07 – Why a chainsaw matters on a vegetable farm 13:20 – Why they’re moving more equipment to Husqvarna 14:10 – The right equipment for the farming system
