[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1530679, member: 18945"] No, I use the Fimco most of the time, especially when weeds aren't as thick (like this year was) and I don't need the higher volume the cluster nozzle puts out. Early on, I used the cluster more, when I was getting rid of the thousands and thousands of tallow saplings that had sprouted up. (I could change the size of the nozzles in the cluster , but just never got around to ordering smaller ones.) Keep in mind, I'm only keeping up with 124 acres and don't even spray all of that. The Fimco will cover about 25' per pass at 45-55psi with a 6 roller pump. The Fimco is kinda fragile tho......you have to be careful what kind of brush you run over. Except the tube, it's all plastic. Someone here at CT has built one using the Fimco and is pressuring it with a 3.5gpm electric pump. I don't remember who. BTW, I got the Fimco at Producers in Bryan and the cluster nozzle at a local hardware/farm supply store. If I remember right, they both cost about the same amount. The left/right Fimco nozzles run about $50 ea and the center nozzle is $15. I bought it complete for $150 I think in 2014. The cluster nozzle (complete with inserts) was right at $195. [/QUOTE]
