Househam AR

[Highashgrange]

I’ve found a nice Househam AR 3500 with 24m pommier booms. It’s a year 2008 with 8250 hours on it. It’s got TMC Fieldmaster with auto steer, shut off etc. It appears in very good condition and well looked after. The current owner bought it at 5500 hours but doesn’t have any history of it prior to that. All he’s done to it is annual maintenance to the pump and sorted nozzles, chem savers etc.
Anything to look out for? What does replacement wheel motors cost? Are the iveco engines reliable?

ivecos are good. Wheel motors depend on how long you run them for after they give signs of fault. Overhaul of one for me came to £1500. Thought that was decent given the 1.5hr turnaround by househam although I stopped when I knew there was trouble. Kingpins are probably something to look at at those hours.
