Sprayer

[ewald]

Little sprayers are simple, last for years and if you go for a known make spares are easy to obtain. 500 or 600l is probably enough for a 135.
Look on Facebook and ebay - I would be looking for Hardi, Alman or Team
If you use liquid fert remember the specific weight - it is significantly heavier than water - and think about how to drive accurately on grassland - if you leave a strip it will be horribly obvious for the season!

I had 900 litres 12m on a 135 back in the 70s. No hills, a front end loader and was fine.
Sprayed year in year out never breaking down. Just changed the pump diaphragms annually.

An Allman 525 or Hardi NK600 would go well behind your tractor and cost next to nothing in a sale. Have plenty of change out of £4k to start again with a new pump if necessary.

why change the diaphrams annually? our last sprayer covered 4/5 thousand acres a year spraying any thing from cereals to veg at 150-400lts/ha. all kinds of mixes from 6 ways agrochems to 3 way suspensions and never needed a diaphram. not trying to be smug just wondering.

Theyre cheap enough and only three. Perhaps then the quality was not same as now and in my twenties I was always pulling things apart.

I image that you might need some extra weight on the front of the 135.

Speak to Malcolm at Chippenham Farm Sales about a Jarmet. He might have a suitable candidate in stock, if not he can order one from the factory to your spec - tank size, boom length etc etc. You can have electric controls (Arag) if you want. I've had a little 600l 8m one for 6 years now for game covers, small paddocks etc etc. It sailed through its first MOT this spring. I've had to replace one set of diaphragms, and one nozzle body, but thats it. My one was about £2k when I bought it back in 2017 (that price included the electric boom section control), not sure what it'd be now but I very much doubt it would be near £4k.

Is it electric shutoff? Probably a bit big for the small stuff and a bit small for the big stuff really.. how much are you asking?

That’s probably a bit too far the other way, would take a fair while to do a field with glypho

No manual shut off. Booms fold in half forward to about rear axel. £400
