Hagie™ STS Series engines
6.7-L Cummins® QSB engine
Final Tier 4 engine
Tier 3 engine The Hagie STS Series is powered by a 6.7-L (408.9-cu in.) Cummins QSB diesel engine, which is offered in a 202-kW (275-hp) Tier 3 or the 220-kW (300-hp) emissions-compliant Final Tier 4 (FT4) configuration. The engine is electronic with an air-to-air cooler and turbo charger.
The Tier 3 engine requires No. 2 diesel fuel, and the FT4 engine requires ultra-low sulfur diesel (ULSD).
Engine location
Rear-mounted engine The rear-mounted engine keeps constant weight to offset the spray boom and leaves space in the center of machine for the varying weight of fuel and rinse tanks. This allows for better coolant airflow and reduction of cab noise.
Engine exhaust
Rear-located engine exhaust The engine exhaust is located at the rear of the machine. This helps to reduce interior cab and noise vibration.

Frame and axles
Chassis mainframe
Horizontal cross-through axle tube The STS Series mainframe design features horizontal cross-through axle tubes, as well as boom and platform mounts on weldment.
- 144.8-cm (57-in.) mainframe width (from outside of each mainframe tube)
- 301-cm (118.5-in.) mainframe width (from outside of each boom cradle weldment)
- 188-cm (74-in.) ground clearance
Solution tank, pump, and pump switch
The solution system is a constantly monitored, continuously adjusted, computer-controlled system. The cab-mounted digital spray system console receives information from various inputs to help determine L/ha (gpa) and L/min (gpm).
Solution tank
Solution tank | Sprayer model | Tank capacity (L, gal.) | Tank type |
| STS10 | 3785 L (1000 gal.) | Standard - polyethylene tank Optional - stainless-steel tank |
| STS12 | 4542 L (1200 gal.) | Stainless-steel tank |
| STS14 | 5299 L (1400 gal.) | Stainless-steel tank |
| STS16 | 6056 L (1600 gal.) | Stainless-steel tank |
Solution pump
Solution pump The Hypro® 9306C-HM1C-BU solution pump (located beneath center of machine) is a centrifugal-type, hydraulically-driven pump that is controlled by the solution pump control valve and the spray system console. It comes with silicon-carbide seals, 7.6-cm (3-in.) inlet plumbing and 5.1-cm (2-in.) outlet plumbing.
The solution pump draws solution out of the tank at the rate determined during calibration. It dispenses solution through the many valves and hoses that make up the spray system and also dispenses fluids through the agitation and rinse systems.
Solution pump switch
Solution pump switch
Solution pump indicator The solution pump switch is located on the side console and is used to turn the solution pump on and off.
NOTE: When the solution pump is on, a solution pump indicator (located on the machine display home page - field mode) will be illuminated.

STS™ Series spray booms
STS Series Sprayer booms The spray booms are controlled by an electrohydraulic system. This system consists of operator-manipulated switches (located on the side console and the hydrostatic drive control handle) and hydraulic cylinders (attached to the booms), which provide lift, level, and horizontal extension.
The spray booms are offered in a variety of configurations depending on the model and the producer's application needs.
