I'm looking at getting a sprayer this coming season in the 150 - 300 gal. range for pastures and hayfields. What brand do you guys like? And why? Also any preferences for 3-pt. or trailed type?

i would think that you would have to add a lot of weights to the front end of the tractor if you used a three point hitch. putting more wear and tear on the front end parts. going through soft spots in the field might be easier to do with a pull type rig. less soil compaction i would think too.

Whether you go pull type or three point depends on how often you plan to use it and the type of terrain you plan to be driving on. A pull type is easier to hook up to and can be used on tractors with no three point hitch. Pull types do bounce around quite a bit more in rough pastures and the booms will be flopping quite a bit. If you plan to do a lot of backing into corners of the field the three point sprayer will be easier because pull types are short-coupled and can go crooked really fast when backing up. While you are concentrating on backing the sprayer straight you could forget about what kind of trouble the end of the boom is getting into. Don't know about brand, they are all basically the same but some have easier access to the fill hole such as a fold down ladder. Look for booms that fold easily without pinch points or chains that can grab you while they are going over, or around, whichever way you prefer. Also, no-drip nozzles are less likely to give you a chemical shower if you are folding the boom manually. Jim

John Blue Ground drive..... No matching pump rates and ground speed. The pump is driven by the ground and speed is not an issue.... Just got done putting out the nitrogen last week
