The old sprayer here has those manual feckin booms and like that on hills the damn things used swing forward or backwards. The solution was a pair of vise grips to clamp down the breakback and that stopped the annoyance of booms not staying put.
What sort of age is this sprayer and what is it worth?
considering we are still using a 1986 Hardi here!
Had a look at a neighbours machine not exactly the same model but probably a lot of this the same,the thing that I noticed straight away was the strength of the booms,probably weigh the same as the whole of my jarmet sprayer and if you put the 2 together even though it is a 96 model it would look a lot newer. I fancy its easy to swap certain things these days it's just knowing someone who can give some sound advice if you have a problem, my main concern is the electric box if it became problematic its age may mean it aint fixable so a new one would be £1200 or a manual control would be 350ish.I would think it's around 2001 or so and given what similar Hardi/Berthouds make it's probably worth around 4k, I would think.
2001 is a very new sprayer to me!
Would spares be got for a Kuhn of that age or are they interchangeable with another brand?
I see a horsh leeb has arrived down your direction
There ain't a hope I'll ever get it anyway, I've immunity to it. Only a select few could tell you how to cure that, the 2nd best tillage farmer in Carlow and the best in Westmeath and now 1 of the cork lads.
Link not working
Thats the one
Some of those rather unknown brands I was told are not compliment with the new tests. They are exempt for 5 years as they are new but when it comes around it will not pass. So someone told me.
I didn't realise Alamo had bought Kellands until today, everyday is a school day!!!!!!!!................Hated school though, what bit I was there!!!
