Looking in detail at changing our sprayer to a Vicon B18 iXter that we have seen for sale. Have seen a few threads on here that Vicon sprayers have been mentioned on, was just wondering if there are many Vicon sprayer owners/operators out there, how are the sprayers running after a few years? What are they like to use, are they well built? Are many people using the IsoMatch Tellus Box to control them? @agricrop @darrenjlobb I believe you both have/had Vicon sprayers looking at past threads?

I looked at them before I ordered another Berthoud. I felt that they were not as well built and were about 10 years behind the opposition regarding technology but then I am familiar with Berthoud.

I didn't think they looked to badly built when I looked at one at cereals last year. And they seem to have the majority of options available on them that other brands of mounted sprayer do currently. The IsoMatch Tellus screen controlling the sprayer, front tank (if fitted), auto section, variable rate, etc all in 1 box looks pretty advanced. Had a quick look at Berthoud at Cereals as well, from what I could make out from the specs they don't do a big enough tank or pump capacity for what I want.

I know of quite a few out there and they are working OK as for spec you can just about get anything
