Any reasonably priced avadex applicators for sale? Tractor mounted or towed behind quad. Only have 45ac to do, but no one near me has one. 12m would be OK. Anything about?

Thanks Will, I think it'll take some setting up, it looks like the drive belt is missing. Do the plastic deflectors wear out, and can they be replaced?
 
Done over 2000 acres with one on a cart behind a polaris ranger so far this season still got 200 ha to do . Dam good machines and very little to go wrong .
Just converted ours to ,metal wheel and chain drive , bought amicroband ,with metal wheel etc ,cheaper than a new conversion kit 1/5 of price 😘 and swapped old belt drive set up , it was getting worn and pulleys a bit wobbly
 
chris w this our set up

They’re not plastic they’re alloy. Kuhn aero are plastic. Horstine stuff is extremely durable. Alloy metering wheels in the cassette too. I have a tma4 on a trailed buggy, new Honda engine, stocks wizard elec drive which I may sell but we are a long long way from you! (Nr Peterborough)

Do you still have your applicator? Are you still thinking if selling?

Yep still here; what happened to the Cheffins one you bought??
Still got it, but runnijg it on a 7t tractor when conditions are less than perfect can leave a bit of a mess, so considering either making it trailed behind the quad, or buying one already done.
