[QUOTE="Kidds, post: 8086576, member: 5589"] They are basically a tank a pump and a fan, so as long as it makes pressure and doesn't leak there's not much more you can look at. As they are used in orchards they usually get subjected to tight cornering with the pto going. Pto shaft and gearbox can get a bit hammered as a result so check them as best you can. Try and see it running and see if there is excessive vibrating. Gearbox on the fan itself can be an issue so check no excessive play in the fan. Controls are via solenoids and can be iffy but usually corroded terminals. The sprayers throw some quite harsh chemicals all over themselves so rust and corrosion of susceptible parts needs checking. Pump, pto, gearbox, controls and leaks, a new pump will cost a fortune, pto can be megabucks if wide angle yokes but straight yokes are cheaper and sensible money. [/QUOTE]
