Weren't all the models available as either an i or without? The i suffix being a more technical kind of machine? I'm quite keen to hear views as they are well priced second hand. @Daniel ran one.

I ran a 732 for about 10 years. Very little went wrong with it, the tee jet control box is simple to use and bomb proof. I think I did change a flow meter. Did a couple of section solenoids over the years and other than the usual pipes and diaphrams that is about it.

I did have a bit of a topple not by any means the steepest bank I have. A large osr canopy saved too much damage. The wheels were very narrow which didn’t help.

The sight gauge was useless and I filled with a flow meter. The induction hopper didn’t really like lots of powder and the pipes would easily block. Dumping a lot in the top could also cause the same problem. The recirculating booms only go as far as the section solenoids so there is a tendency for rubbish to build in the lines.

All in all not a bad sprayer for the money. Have a Knight now which I do prefer but it has more bling.

840i was replaced by the 900 series which I thought was big money.
740i was good spec for the price.

Slightly confused.

You said above that the 840 was replaced with a 740.

Then said 840 was replaced with a 900 series.

Which way did you go, or was it a typo?

Sorry, we replaced the 840i with a M740i.
The cost to replace it with a M900i or R900i was too much.
 
Whats a project about it? If its the same one as on the website, it looks in good nick?
it just looks tired, been in there field a while, needs a bit of fetlin.
