[QUOTE="BFE, post: 1838254, member: 28532"] [ATTACH type="full"]39807[/ATTACH]So if I understand correctly, at the moment you will be using it on 100 acres twice a year, so 200 acres sprayed per year. Custom spraying here is 7.50 an acre so $1500 per year, and at sprayer price of$7500, you’re looking at a five year payout based strictly on the numbers. Of course the more acres you cover with it the faster that payout comes. If I were you I would go with the standard model. You don’t need the 30” spacing unless you plan on spraying between rows with drops, and you won’t do that in a pasture. The electric boom shutoffs is nice, but the manual does the same thing with less long term maintenance. As far as I’m concerned the foamer and rinse tank are essential. All in all looks like a good unit. If you’re buying new maybe you can get one without the extra nozzle spacing but with electric shutoffs if you want it. I would forgo the aixr tips and get Teejet Turbo Twinjet tips. Best I’ve ever used. If you have to order them somewhere else, Fertilizer Dealer Supply is outstanding.
