Why Aussie Farmers choose the G8-S3
No shortcuts. No limits. Just G8 Crop Cruiser Series 3.
The G8-S3 isn’t just another sprayer. It’s a machine built to transform the way you work — combining strength, refined control, and operator-first comfort in one powerful package.
From the Cummins B6.7L engine and industry-first ZF 8-speed automatic transmission to the quietest cabin in its class (64 dB), every detail has been engineered to help you cover more ground with less effort.
With massive capacity, advanced driveline technology, and total control at your fingertips, the G8-S3 delivers longer runs, smoother operation, and the efficiency to take on the biggest jobs without compromise. Step inside, and you’ll discover a premium workspace designed for comfort and control – because when the hours are long, the machine should work harder, not you.
The result? More spraying. Greater productivity. All from a sprayer that sets a new benchmark in performance and innovation.
Claas Leading Comfort
The cabin is designed with one priority: operator comfort and functionality. Inside, you’ll find modern conveniences paired with premium finishes and advanced technology. From the heated and cooled leather air-ride swivel seat to the dual-zone climate control, every detail is built to keep you comfortable and in control, no matter how long the day.
G-Motion
Ultimate control is now at the palm of your hand, the G-Motion doubles as speed and direction control for both forwards and reverse for hydrostatic like speed control and also features all boom controls including boom raise / lower, boom tilts, cruise control, fence line jets and auto steer functions.
G-Hub 2.0
Featuring a 12” internal screen for complete drivetrain and sprayer information allows operator control inside the cab. A 5” external fill screen for simple operation of all loading functions at the fill control station.
Quick filling, more spraying
The operator workstation and advanced fill system are engineered to slash sprayer refill times – so you spend less time loading and more time spraying.
With rapid-loading capabilities and intuitive controls, this system gets you back in the paddock faster and with less hassle.
Strength in design. Precision application. Efficiency in every pass.
The boom and application technology represent a comprehensive approach to modern spraying demands, combining robust mechanical design with intuitive control systems.
From the innovative TriTech RivX and TriTech V Series booms to advanced application technologies engineered for precision and efficiency.
The integration of multiple spraying technologies coupled with industry-leading boom ride, provides operators with unprecedented flexibility and control in various spraying conditions.
The industry leading TriTech suspension system dampens the forces of yaw, pitch and roll to provide the most stable boom platform available.

Just Weedetect®
Modern agriculture demands smarter solutions. As herbicide costs rise and resistance concerns grow, farmers need precise, efficient tools that deliver results while protecting their bottom line and the environment.
Introducing Weedetect’s revolutionary precision spraying systems – two cutting-edge technologies that are transforming how Australian farmers approach weed management. Whether you’re dealing with weeds in standing crops or targeting growth in fallow paddocks, our advanced detection systems ensure you spray only where it matters.
Gone are the days of blanket spraying entire paddocks. With Weedetect Bilberry® and Weedetect NIR, you can achieve a huge reduction in chemical usage while maintaining superior weed control. These aren’t just spraying systems – they’re intelligent farming solutions that pay for themselves through reduced input costs, improved sustainability, and enhanced crop yields.
Weedetect Bilberry® (Green-on-Brown / Green-on-Green)
- AI crop detection – spots weeds within standing crops using advanced camera technology
- Huge chemical savings – only sprays where weeds are detected, up to 25 km/h
Weedetect NIR (Green-on-Brown)
- NIR – Near infrared sensors detects green weeds on brown soil /stubble, works day / night
- High-speed operation – up to 25 km/h, easy retrofit to existing sprayers
