Table Of ContentThe Apache Value Proposition
Equipment Technologies (ET) defines value as the balance of quality, reliability, profitability, and, most
importantly, an operator experience that exceeds expectations. We believe value starts with the desire of
all ET employees to be excellent at their craft. The result of that excellence lives in the Apache owner’s
experience, where they truly believe they have sacrificed nothing in their decision to purchase an Apache
and, in fact, have gained a dependable, long-term partner for their operation.
The 2014 model year represents a new chapter for the operator. It is an experience in the cab that is in
balance with the mechanical operation and wet system efficiencies enjoyed by previous models.
In short, we are redefining first-in-class.
Thank you for your interest in the Apache sprayer.

Keith & Patti Abbott
“My husband had the idea of looking at an Apache
sprayer, and then I checked to see if it would make
sense for us financially. When we looked at it on
paper we were amazed. We compared the cost of
continuing to hire a company to spray for us when
we couldn’t get in the field late season versus buying
an Apache, and we realized those costs alone could
account for purchasing a new Apache. I think if anyone
made that comparison, they’d be surprised. It’s more
feasible to own an Apache than you might think.”
Patti Abbott
“It’s like night and day. We went from a tractor
pull-type sprayer running six or seven miles an hour
and really feeling every bump, to going 13-15 miles
an hour and just gliding along. We are doubling the Keith & Patti Abbott
