[QUOTE="DrWazzock, post: 7548057, member: 2119"] For us now it’s all about avoiding the financial and logistical risk of a big expensive show stopping breakdown. So a cheap trailed sprayer is better than relying on our old self propelled sprayer. We can move another tractor onto the trailer sprayer whereas if the engine or hydraulics fails on the SP we can’t even get the brakes off or the booms folded up and cost to repair can be £5k plus. Ploughing with a 3 furrow and a 4 furrow on two 100 hp tractors is much more financially resilient than relying on one big 150 hp tractor and one big cultivator or high draft direct drill, as we found out to our cost when we were too late drilling last autumn.
