[QUOTE="Phil P, post: 6574816, member: 33598"] I’ve got just over 9000h on my Bateman, and generally it’s very reliable to run. I did give it a good overhaul about 18 months ago replacing all the boom pins and bushes and virtually all the trackrod ends (there’s a lot!). Fortunately I’m fairly handy on the spanner’s, but when there’s a technical issue I can’t speak highly enough of Bateman for the support. I had a stuck valve a while back, rang them up and spoke to the guy who built the machine (sign of a good company is staff retention) explained the symptoms and he pointed me straight to the problem so I was up and running within the hour. One thing to remember with a self propelled is your not only running a sprayer it’s a tractor as well, so expect higher running costs than a trailed sprayer. I wouldn’t have a trailed/mounted now though, however I don’t do a lot of road miles. [/QUOTE]
