This Grumman Ag-Cat G-164A (ZK-RTA) is a unique opportunity to own a certified agricultural aircraft powered by the legendary Pratt & Whitney R985 radial engine producing 450 horsepower. Originally designed for agricultural operations, the Ag-Cat is renowned for its rugged construction, exceptional load-carrying capability, and outstanding visibility from its spacious cockpit. The aircraft is certified for Air Transport operations and offers versatility beyond agricultural work, making it suitable for scenic flights, adventure flying, and specialised operations.
The current owner purchased the aircraft with plans for Air Transport use and invested significantly in upgrading the aircraft, including fitting a low-time overhauled engine. With only 289.4 hours since overhaul, a comprehensive avionics package, and extensive equipment included, this Ag-Cat represents excellent value. The owner can also assist with ferrying the aircraft anywhere in New Zealand for the successful purchaser.
