[QUOTE="Romeogolf, post: 6939177, member: 60028"] There will never be a straight answer to this conundrum as everyone will have a different perception of what is justifiable and what they perceive works for their business. Add to that the preference of the operator and you have at least three enormous variables that will alter the responses you receive. I had a SP, went to a trailed, and am going back to a SP. Did i greatly dislike the trailed? No, but it didn’t work for my business. It may do for yours. Did I find the trailed impossible to work with? No, but my personal preference as the one who pays the bills and who also drives the sprayer suggests that if I find a SP easier and less hassle then that’s a major consideration. You may have a different view. Can I justify a SP? Yes, irregardless of the regularly aired view of [USER=6]@Clive[/USER] I believe for my business it is justifiable enough and as such that’s the route I’ve taken. Not brand new I might add, but a 2-3 year old machine that someone else has taken the financial hit on works for me. Personally, I cannot justify new Fendt tractors, when I know that a lesser shade of green for considerably less outlay will do the same work. However, that is my opinion, for my business, and for my preference, and in the acknowledgment of this I wouldn’t presume to comment on what would work for @Clive’s business as I’m sure he has made similar inroads into working out what works for him. My advice, for what’s its worth, is to demo a trailed before you get too far down the road. I imagine the new Horsch is an amazing machine, and if I had one there’s every chance I would be staying with a trailed. But I cannot justify the price tag, and so I haven’t got one. Others can, so they have. For that money I would not expect to have to put a machine of similar value on the front of it to tow it along. Everyone will have a different view, and whilst I am grateful for the input members put into my thread, it showed me that ultimately you need to do what works for you. [/QUOTE]
