Making your chemical applications simpler, safer and more precise 

Raven’s Sidekick™ direct injection system can make your chemical applications easier and safer than you ever imagined—with less waste and more precise and responsive applications. With Sidekick, you simply save more and get more when applying costly herbicides, insecticides, liquid fertilizer, and nitrogen stabilizer. Comprised of two principal components, the Sidekick module and in-cab console work seamlessly to improve your applications in every way.

For additional performance and ease-of-operation, be sure to check out our new, more advanced Sidekick Pro™ system. With Sidekick Pro, we simply took the industry’s best direct injection system and made it better! Either way, you win with Raven.

High Value Points

No pre-mixing, tank rinsing or cross contamination. No more worrying about having to mix or rinse your tank between applications, which significantly reduces the risk of cross contamination. You simply load the chemical tank (or tanks), fill the liquid carrier tank, program the rate per acre—and apply.

Spend more time spraying and less time changing tanks. Sidekick can be used on a single-product sprayer or with multi-product sprayers. With four-unit capability, you can carry and spray up to four products at the same time—or spray different fields with different products without going back to the barn to clean and mix a new tank. One carrier tank is all you need!

Eliminate waste and disposal issues, while adding precision. With Sidekick, you’re free to stop spraying in the middle of a job and come back and start again without any problems or special preparation because you don’t mix what you don’t spray. You’ll enjoy faster response times for on/off and variable rate controls because Raven’s positive displacement pump injects downstream, closer to the boom.

Simple add-on. Sidekick is a simple add-on for any single- or multi-product spray console. Or for more product capability, you can easily pair Sidekick with any Raven field computer. With Raven’s powerful CANbus technology, the whole process is simple.
