Injecting greater savings and precision with every pass

The Sidekick Pro™ direct injection system sets a new standard for chemical applications of every type, with unprecedented precision, savings, and safety. No tank mixing required—and with the industry’s first automatic calibration feature, you’re ready to go in minutes. The whole system is amazingly simple—and pays off with greater precision, higher yields and unrivaled efficiency.

High Value Points

Save more. Get more. With the Sidekick Pro direct injection system, you can save more in time and inputs—and get more for it when applying costly herbicides, insecticides, liquid fertilizer and nitrogen stabilizer. And because there’s no pre-mixing in the tank, there’s no waste from unused product—and no cleanout/disposal issues when you’re done.

Simple, fast and hassle-free startup. Say goodbye to time-consuming catch tests thanks to Sidekick Pro’s automatic calibration feature. It’s 100% self-contained for extra safety. It only takes an ounce for faster and better results—and you can handle it yourself in minutes with ease.

Superior precision and performance. Sidekick Pro gives you more precise mixing and applications—and locks onto your target rate with industry-leading times. High-resolution encoder also provides smoother pump control and tells you immediately if you lose feedback or power to the pump—and stops automatically if you do.

Increased capacity and efficiency. Four-unit capability lets you carry and/or spray four different chemicals at one time. So you can do more with every pass—and move from one field to the next without changing tanks!

Added safety for you and the environment. Your risk of chemical exposure is dramatically reduced with in-line mixing. That, coupled with superior system control, real-time diagnostics, closed-system calibration and greater efficiencies, delivers more safety for you and the environment.

Key Features and Benefits

  • Advanced system design for eliminating pre-mixing and clean out, added operator safety, less chemical waste - and faster,more accurate operations
  • High-powered positive displacement pump for chemical injection downstream (pressure side), closer to the boom for faster on-off response times and variable rate controls  
  • Four-unit capability for applying up to four chemicals on the same pass or switching applications from one field to the next  
  • Automatic calibration for fast, simple and convenient start - and eliminating time-consuming catch tests and chemical waste 
  • VRA capability for saving input costs and maximizing yields 
  • Superior efficiency and system design for changing application rates by adjusting the chemical concentration rather than spraying more or less of the entire mix 
  • Advanced priming feature for quick starts, convenient operation and chemical savings 
  • Real-time diagnostic for signaling if/where a problem may arise 
  • High-volume capacity range of 5-200 oz per minute for larger systems 
  • Low-volume capacity range of 1-40 oz per minute for smaller systems
  • Compatible with Raven field computers and SCS series 4000 and 5000 spray consoles for maximum flexibility
