John Deere 832 sprayer.

Anyone that has had a john deere 832 sprayer , just how unstable are they? Looking for a cheap simple sprayer to put some liquid fert through and found a tidy one but remember reading of a few going over. They do look top heavy, but with some wide wheels on would they be stable enough or am I best getting something else?
Would like a chafer E series really but hard to find now.
Thank for any advice.

832 not too bad, 840 was worse. Just have to be careful booms folded with it 3/4 full on steeper side slopes going into fields. Not uncommon for them to cock a leg. Good sprayers really. Outer fold rams a bit prone to bending, can be pressed straight easy enough. 732 are more stable and also good, simple sprayers. There was a tidy looking 832 on here a few days back. No tracking drawbar, but not a bad thing if you're concerned about stability.

We ran one for 10 yes or so, only time they are unstable is using the steering drawbar with the booms folded up. Just make sure the steerings switched off and they're fine.
Only swapped ours as I wanted to go wider.
