TRX400 - Kentucky, USA May 2006
Hi Tony, Just to let you know, I installed the Cruise Control on our
Foreman 400, and it works great. You definitely have a great system
here, and I plan on showing it to everyone who I think may need one.
You definitely have my buisness in the future.

Thanks for installing
your Speed and Spray Control on my TRX450ES last year. I've now done
6,500 hours in the last 14 months and the cruise is the best accessory
I've ever bought! I give the unit a hard time - it hasn't even had the
boot lid for the last 8 months - but it just keeps on tickin'!
Thanks again,
- Frank, Robinvale, Victoria, Australia
Just a quick note
to let you know we are impressed with the quality and ease of fitting
the MCS QuadCruise. We fit about 4 per week and there is never any drama.
Great product and well made and thought out for the installers.

'Southcorp's
Clare Estate Vineyard finds the ATV Speed & Spray Control pays dividends
The
integrated 'Speed and Spray Control' from MotorCycle Setup (an all Australian
company) has now proven its reliability and usefulness in weed control
on ATVs. Southcorp Australia, the worlds largest premium wine company,
has proved over the last two years that these units assist in their
operations significantly by delivering ergonomic benefits to the operator
and environmental advantages. The cruise control maintains constant
low speeds, releasing the operator from the mentally and physically
demanding task of controlling the speed precisely, and integrates the
spray system with the speed control, which creates consistent performance.
Southcorp's Clare Estate vineyard bought two Honda TRX450 ATVs in 1999
equipped with the Speed and Spray Controls. The operators are so impressed
with the improved comfort, reduced stress and their ability to work
longer hours that they compete to get the ATVs fitted with the controls
each morning. Of the four ATVs used in the vineyard, the 'cruise control'
equipped units are always the first to be used. Managers are satisfied
with the knowledge that spray application rates will be optimised as
a result of the consistent speed control.
The
MCS QuadCruise has been available in Australia for seven years now and
has proven its reliability in the field. It is relatively easy to install
- it is basically a 'plug and play' accessory even though it takes several
hours to fit. The unit comes pre-configured and is set up to work optimally
in the typical spray speed ranges recommended for weedicide application
- 4 - 12kph. The manufacturers have built many safety features into
the kit drawing on their substantial experience in making cruise control
work safely and reliably on motorcycles. The Speed & Spray Control required
a new computer to make the concept work, but the two years of development
is paying off. Kits are available for the Honda ATV range (TRX 300,
350, 400 & 450, with the kit for the Rubicon 500 under development).
Polaris Magnum and Sportsman 500, Xpedition 425 and Magnum 325 kits
are also now available. The Kawasaki KVF 400 will be available shortly.
Another application for the Speed & Spray Control is ATV-based fertiliser
spreading operations. The company is targeting viticulture, orchards
and the nut industry in its promotion of the product - and expanding
its promotion overseas. The product looks set to earn valuable export
dollars for Australia in the near future. The unit excels anywhere that
constant, slow speed over smooth or rough terrain is required. It is
now proven that the computer holds speed over rough ground far more
effectively than a rider can. Southcorp's experience supports this view
with their considerable experience in day to day operations over the
last few years!
