What the Horizon is used for
The Horizon is intended for British arable crop-protection and liquid-fertiliser applications, where about 4,000 litres of product capacity supports regular field operations. Its 24 to 36 m boom range allows buyers to select a format appropriate to their farm's cropping and tramline arrangements.
Contractors can also use a Horizon for varied arable customers, provided its installed boom and overall condition meet the required programme. Hydrostatic drive gives it the expected self-propelled sprayer layout for this type of work.
Why the Sands Horizon stands out
The Horizon's appeal lies in its Norfolk-built British identity, strong arable following and straightforward self-propelled format. About 4,000 litres of product capacity with 24 to 36 m booms gives it useful mainstream capability. Its six-cylinder diesel and hydrostatic drive are key fundamentals; check the individual boom arrangement and condition before committing.
Buying a used Sands Horizon
On a used Horizon, inspect the six-cylinder diesel from cold for smoke, oil pressure and convincing maintenance history. Test the hydrostatic drive, hydraulics and brakes, and inspect boom and spray-system components for wear, leaks or damage. Examine tinwork closely for rust or poor repairs, then establish how original the machine remains. Verify serial and registration details. Have it inspected, confirm figures and originality against TractorData.com and club records; values vary by condition, so check current listings rather than a fixed price.
