We took delivery new Goldacres G4 just in time for pre sowing spray out, I have had a demo G4 for a month prior to the delivery of the new one it was good to get use to the machine before planting started, I was a bit worried about the noise in the cab of the demo, it was as noisey as our old JD 4630 which I was really over, but the new one is great I can listen to the radio in my sprayer finally 
I always wore ear plugs in the past. For a little motor 165hp cummins this machine goes well uses no fuel and moves the 4000L tank and 36m boom around really well all the spraying I have done has been in heavy black soils with plenty of moisture and the machine has not been left wanting for more power. But the lighting what the ****!! I have pulled all the original lights off and replaced them with Led lights now we're talking, the originals were bloody ridiculous. The 36m Tri tech boom is really stable no dipping when you turn, it is setup with 3TS, rapid fire and boom recirculation which all works well, it's good having the lines all primed and not have to spray any out on the ground . At 9500kgs and with 480/46 tyres it floats very well and fits our 3metre CTF system very well and gets along the road at 55km/hr which is good for getting between farms, plenty of clearance under the machine no worries spraying out sorghum now . I am steering it with Trimble and using the FMX screen to control the raven controllers as well through ISO, it work well it's great having only one screen. I love the auto gear box and cruise control, it's a great machine I really like it so far thumbs up from me
