I am considering 17 year old Berthoud Boxer self propelled sprayer as a "cheap" spraying option. Are the wheel motors comparable in price to any other SP sprayer , what engine is in them , can you stop them when going down a steep hill!, are they stable on hillsides and what is the general feeling on a fairly uncommon old thing such as this?. It is 1/10th of the cost of a three year old Batemen hence the Interest. It is the machine I am intrested in and not the fact a trailed is more flexible and better use of a tractor!. Thanks .
