Enstrom Reintroduces Ag Spraying Kits

Enstrom Helicopter is reintroducing agricultural spraying kits for its piston models and four kits have already been sold. They are built by Isolair Incorporated, a manufacturer of helicopter systems based out of Troutdale (OR).

"Helicopters are the ideal aircraft for ag spraying. Accuracy is optimized so that the sprayed substance is dispersed only where it should be and in the proper amounts," said President Jerry Mullins. "Isolair has been very successful in this market and initial sales show that this will be a very welcome option to our broad range of uses for our piston models."

Isolair is excited to work with Enstrom in reintroducing the spray kit for Enstrom's 280FX and F28F piston models. "This addition to our product line will enable Isolair to offer our customers an even more diverse selection of systems," said Isolair President Michael Powell. "We look forward to expanding our relationship with Enstrom with future products for other models of aircraft."

The kits can be easily installed on any Enstrom piston model and will sell for less than US$26,000 in most countries. The dry chemical system installed weighs 85 pounds (39 kg) and the wet chemical system installed weighs 127 pounds (58 kg). The piston models' gross weight is 2,600 pounds (1,179 kg).

Dane Harris, of Helicopter Resources, Inc., in Monroe (NC) received the first spray system. "I was awarded a forestry contract spraying timber and looked into what helicopter would be the most dependable and the best financially to run," said Harris. "After punching all the numbers, the Enstrom won hands down."

Isolair has been producing fire fighting, agricultural spray and broadcast systems for the helicopter industry for over 20 years. Isolair is one of the leading manufacturers with some of the most innovative and efficient systems available to the industry. Isolair is proud to offer competitive pricing, quality, easy to install products, and an ongoing commitment to customer service.
