We wish we had bought the one with the boom, either way our fimco spot sprayer has been getting the job done for use spot spraying selective herbicide in our hay fields! good video! Maybe try some thread tape on the drain to help with the leakage.
The boom is great but not really needed for my smaller property. But we use it most on a 5 acre plot we have in the mountains. The drain looks like it's a molding problem. The threads don't really line up, but it's ok.
Could I use a longer hose for the wand
I believe so, I want to add a reel and 50 foot of hose. It’s low pressure under 50 I think.
Got one question for you guys. I'm looking into buying one of these to spray my sweet corn next year. I'm planting a 2 acre patch. The boom looks awesome so I can spray the cultivated field prior to planting for weeds. But my big question is how far will that wand spray? It says online 25 feet vertically and 40 horizontal. Have you noticed if it will actually spray out 40 feet? This is going to be critical for me, because I plan on spacing my rows out and leaving a path in btween sections of the corn. I'm going to play roughly 12 rows, which is close to 40 feet if its planted 36 inches apart, leave a 7 foot path for my tractor and sprayer to drive through, then plant another 40 foot (12 rows) on the other side of the path. I'm going to repeat this until the entire 2 acres is planted. I'm estimating about 3 or 4 paths will be needed. BUT MY QUESTION FOR YOU IS does the wand actually spray out 40 feet? When it comes time to spray for bugs, the corn will be too tall to spray over and thats what the paths are for with a reach of 40 feet on each side of it. I'm hoping the want shoots out 40 feet so I can drive down each path and just spray the corn with the wand as I go down. What's your thoughts on this? THANKS A BUNCH!
Good question, thanks for contacting us. Well in our experience the wand will not spray even close to 40 feet. Possibly 15 feet but that would be on stream. Again that’s my experience yours could differ. Sidenote I sprayed my sweet corn this last summer with the boom and it worked great. My tractor has pretty good clearance and I was able to let the stocks grow quite a bit before we sprayed.
Then it was back to the backpack sprayer once the ears started to form. We alternated with spinsoad and BT . We’re in Southern California so everything grows including the bugs. We had about 30% insect damage. This next weekend will be putting in our fall corn crop. We wanted to try a BT variety but most everything was sold out. Good luck.
Great video, I just ordered this sprayer this morning and will be picking it up to use on my property primarily for tick sprays! I’ve read a lot of reviews saying it also leaks from the bolts that hold the tank to the frame...any issues there for you?
Haven’t had that issue. Where did you get yours from? I bought mine from Tractor Supply. Good luck with yours, thanks for the comment.
@@burbstobarns7802 I ordered mine from tractor supply as well, picking it up this afternoon. Glad to hear it’s working out well for you.
Thanks for the video and nice tractor! I have a 2038R. I bought this sprayer last summer and am going to use it for the first time this afternoon. What pressure do you leave your sprayer at when actually spraying? I have mine set to 30psi as the instructions indicate running at full pressure could cause a change in the spray pattern. Also, I can't figure out what speed to run my tractor at, I figured 2mph but not sure if that's too fast or too slow. Any ideas?
Thanks for the comment. As for pressure, I run it wide open. I believe it’s at 40 psi but not sure. For the spray speed, I did a few tests with water only on bare ground. I was looking for an even spray that looks more like what I get with my backpack sprayer. Found it at 4mph but yours may vary. I use more spray than the instructions say. Really way more, this leads me to believe I am going too slow. Later this week I am spraying my parents orchard (approx 5 acres) I will be filming that. We will see how much I use. Also any wind is a problem, the spray drifts at the higher pressure. Good luck!
@@burbstobarns7802 Thanks for the reply. I'll hopefully be spraying in a couple of hours, about 2 acres worth. We'll see what happens!
