Light weight sprayer

I liked our Chaviot. Went into places where no sprayer has been able to go since.

Every sprayer will get into places but getting out of them is the issue lol

Two blokes could push the Chaviot out of a wet spot, provided you had stopped before you made a mess.

Not so easy with some of these bigger units.

When we went up to 24m everything seemed to get too heavy. There were half as many tramlines but twice the amount of mess in a catchy time.

Now this is a light weight sprayerView attachment 653714 Now push comes to shove I could put some liquid fert on with it but it would be a bit of a slow process at 12m when I'm use to 36m!
Or even some solid fert with the Amazone Z -AM on the back.

What make and size tyres are they please?

Out with the old and in with the new only sprayed a couple of hundred acres with it so far it seems ok it's very strange driving a hydro machine compared to what we're used to

Still at 24M?

Whats it like sitting in front of wheels? Can you see in mirrors if still in tramline.

Do you miss your buggy? How’s the spirit going and reliability?

I do miss the buggy .

The spirit is fine but it's long and heavy in comparison it's bad for crabbing across steep stuff so you end up with a tyre width and a half tramlines.

The hydrostatic is nicer to drive but does struggle on hills and if you're going up and across a hill it can want to lift a front wheel so then starts to spin that wheel the worst thing is on grass there's fields I won't go in with it now that I've had some iffy moments with the buggy so there's not a chance I'm driving that thing in them .

Reliability wise it's been ok it's had a few niggles which have settled down it's never actually let us down to the point it wouldn't go but it's had a few annoying things .

I've recently been in a McConnell and I still just cant get on with them compared to the old buggy.
