Aerial Spray Application All of Columbia Basin's helicopters are equipped for aerial spray applications. We are a production orientated aerial application company. All of our personnel are focused on providing safe, efficient, and effective results whether it is forestry or farm herbicide work or Federal insecticide projects. Columbia Basin Helicopters, Inc. utilizes SATLOC DGPS to assist with swath guidance and boundary identification. |
Ground Spray Application Columbia Basin utilizes a John Deere 4920 tractor with a 120 foot boom, 52 inch underframe crop clearance, and GreenStar AutoTrac assisted steering system. The John Deere 4920 has many features to increase application accuracy and efficiency. The John Deer 4920 works well in conjunction with helicopter applications to spray in areas the helicopter is unable to reach such as under power lines. |

Fertilizer/Seeding Application Services Columbia Basin has the ground support equipment to work with both Bell UH1H, Bell OH-58A, and Hiller 12E Soloy helicopters. SATLOC DGPS swath guidance is always used with our application services. Our fertilizer buckets can be necked down to be used with various sizes of seed or application rates. Medium helicopter buckets have an 80 cubic foot capacity. |
Erosion Control Columbia Basin Helicopters, Inc. has successfully completed many Federal and State erosion control programs throughout the years. All of our projects were completed with an emphasis on safety and quality control. Given our Bell UH1H helicopters are well suited for hot and high altitude performance and we own all of the necessary support equipment including trucks and Caterpillar front end loaders we can efficiently and safely ensure your project is completed on-time. |
