Folks have been asking for a Sprayer walk around and review. Join us as we review the FIMCO 40 Gallon 3 point sprayer after 3 years of field use. We also explore upgrades and required repairs.
A friend of mine got the same one years ago and had the same bolt crack issue. I got a 40 gallon TSC sprayer, but not a three point model. It rides in the back of the truck. My boom fits into my receiver hitch and I made my boom with two 10 foot spray nozzles from Northern Tool so I get 20 feet with each pass. I plug the switch into the trailer lights and I can turn it on and off by using my light switch in the cab. It is a pretty neat set up. If I had a SxS like a Ranger it would work well in the back bed of that too. Thanks for the video.
Good deal man, thx for this. Just bought this sprayer and putting it together today. If I didn't watch this, no doubt I would have put the bolts in on the bottom of the tank.
1:47 I took the bolts out as you recommended. 2 3/4 passes through the field a strap broke and the tank was on the ground. If you take the bolts out you may want to consider adding 2 ratchet straps. This little issue cost me a day and over $70 in parts for the repair. The pump mount is also broken now but I did not replace.
Good video. My buddy has the same one as you and I got the pto 50gal version for my tractor. You are right that sun will ruin one quick. Also you are right that my pto version will drop some fluid. I have it set now for 20gal per acre.
That will be my next upgrade is that 50 or 60 gallon with a PTO. I need to speed up that part of the process! Sidenote, do you want that hundred dollar gift card? Just comment with your email then I’ll delete the comment after I grab it and I’ll send that via E card.
Eh, it really depends. For the money, it has worked well overall for me. Big jump in price (and performance) from this one to the PTO powered, so everything is relative
