Kingman Ag + OnTarget

Orchard spraying keeps a tractor and a driver busy for long shifts, and citrus programs can run 200 to 600 gallons an acre. Kingman Ag converts the full-size tractor you already own to run without a driver. Hitched to an OnTarget sprayer, it covers more acres per tank with nobody on the seat.

How Kingman works

1
Retrofit
Kingman installs its kit on a tractor you already own and maps your blocks.
2
Subscribe
One annual subscription covers the software and 24-hour monitoring.
3
Spray
Buy the sprayer from OnTarget, hitch it up, and run it with nobody on the seat.

Why retrofit: you keep a proven tractor and the dealer behind it, and you can still drive it yourself. Growers who hire a custom applicator today can bring spraying back in house.
