Looks like a great spray system. One more thing good about the pull type is that you eliminate another tractor that's only used a few times a season. Good luck with the new unit. I'll be watching.
you make a Lotta good points for the pull behind sprayer we farm in Northeast Nebraska are hills our steep even with the steerable hitch we couldn’t keep it on the row as for our self-propelled sprayer all of our pre-emerge we have float tires we put on to cut down on compaction it’s hard to do away with action 100% but everyone’s farms are different and everyone’s needs are different good luck on your season
@@6thGenFarmer best sprayer we've owned. Sold our self propelled sprayer after we used the fast . The capacity is the huge factor for us . We travel long distances to rented farms . One guy can cover the acres more efficiently. Especially when spraying ahead of the planters.
Interesting sprayer. Please be careful of power lines with the long booms they will reach up and hit them. Our Co-op had an accident with power lines. Did not end well. 😢
it has been a weird road for sprayers here the past 20 years. pull types used to be very common before self propelled sprayers became really good, then self propelled took over but now I think people are starting to realize the soil damage that is done with the large SP Sprayers and are going back to large capacity pull behinds. I could be wrong but that is kinda the path that I have seen in my short lifetime.
You are going to want to be careful with those vertical fold booms around power lines. We had a friend lose a neighbor from hitting a power line with a fast sprayer while unfolding.
My girlfriends family has an unverferth, they are nice sprayers. However, talking with her family this sprayer has a few features that they wish theirs had.
Carson pay very close attention to any landlines when unfolding these kind of sprayer arms... your´re not used to that the booms unfold very high, a telephone landline would be an small inconvienience for some neighbours, contact the an eletricity line with the booms while unfolding, will BBQ the sprayer, the Tractor and the driver, if he´s dumb enough to get out of the cab. CAB Is Safe Space... as long the tractors dont start burning. And dont say it wont happen to me... Shit happens because of slightly diverted moments like an telephone ringing.. or just havent thought about it. Be safe with your new Toy.
You mean because of the tracks? It’s really no more corn than wheels. Because typically people running wheels run duals and turning around with duals takes out just as much corn as tracks.
Will never match self propelled .🚜 Substantial maneuverability crop damage when turning, no high crop clearance, capacity & tracks are nice features, BUT once owning a self propelled, difficult to switch. They market some of their models to deere, under the frontier label.
You are correct, but the crop damage when turning difference is negligible, especially with the steerable hitch. The biggest issue with self-propelled sprayers is you are doing many years worth of damage every time you drive across the ground and compact it. There are for sure scenarios for both situations, and in the case when our family was together a self-propelled just made a lot of sense as we were traveling a lot. However, we probably would’ve bought this tractor anyways so now we have one less engine to maintain, self-propelled sprayers depreciate faster than any other piece of equipment, and the increased capacity will allow for a better efficiency without the need for a tender truck always at the field.
@@6thGenFarmer I wouldn’t entirely discount what he said, but in my neck of the woods, the contours, hills and small fields don’t lend themselves superbly to pull type, but they’d probably work beautifully for you folks
Hmmmmm🤔…. Maybe a 6000 highboy😂. We did keep our highboys for corn but this supposedly will work fine in tall beans once we get narrower tracks on the 8335rt
