Description
Elevate your agricultural operations with the Piper PA-36-375 Pawnee Brave, the undisputed heavyweight of the spray field. Built to outpace and out-haul its predecessors, this 375-horsepower workhorse features a massive 38-foot wingspan and an expansive hopper designed for maximum acreage coverage per sortie. Driven by the rugged Lycoming IO-720-D1CD eight-cylinder engine, the Brave 375 delivers the raw torque and lifting power necessary for high-density applications and short-field performance. Its reinforced airframe and specialized low-wing geometry provide the stability and precision needed for low-level maneuvering, ensuring every gallon of liquid or pound of dry product lands exactly where it counts.
