I have one for 2 months. Cracked by the bolts in the bottom returning to tractor supply

[@Yellowlab247_NC_Outdoors]

Yup! That is why I left the bolts out, learned that from someone before me. 4 years spraying spring, summer, and fall and no leaks for me

[@nicholas6869]

@@Yellowlab247_NC_Outdoors I returned mine and ordered a wildlife farming sprayer. Waiting for it to come in so I can compare quality.

A friend of mine got the same one years ago and had the same bolt crack issue. I got a 40 gallon TSC sprayer, but not a three point model. It rides in the back of the truck. My boom fits into my receiver hitch and I made my boom with two 10 foot spray nozzles from Northern Tool so I get 20 feet with each pass. I plug the switch into the trailer lights and I can turn it on and off by using my light switch in the cab. It is a pretty neat set up. If I had a SxS like a Ranger it would work well in the back bed of that too. Thanks for the video.

I run into your videos everywhere, which is pretty cool since I'm in PBO myself.

[@Yellowlab247_NC_Outdoors]

The channel small hobby farmers and hunters didnt know they needed! Lol PBO short for Pittsboro?

[@johnmunder7107]

Good deal man, thx for this. Just bought this sprayer and putting it together today. If I didn't watch this, no doubt I would have put the bolts in on the bottom of the tank.

[@Yellowlab247_NC_Outdoors]

Glad you watched, hopefully saved you a lot of headache and money ! Thanks for watching

1:47 I took the bolts out as you recommended. 2 3/4 passes through the field a strap broke and the tank was on the ground. If you take the bolts out you may want to consider adding 2 ratchet straps. This little issue cost me a day and over $70 in parts for the repair. The pump mount is also broken now but I did not replace.

[@Yellowlab247_NC_Outdoors]

Interesting! Going on year 4 now spraying both spring and fall with no issues. Wonder if they changed something?? Hate to hear that!

[@vb8213]

@@Yellowlab247_NC_Outdoors The metal straps are pretty flimsy. I should have known better. 😁

When’s the dove field video gonna be posted

[@Yellowlab247_NC_Outdoors]

Filmed it today, will try to get it up by tomorrow! Corn is drying out, tons of millet, and a bunch of doves

[@Yellowlab247_NC_Outdoors]

6 p.m! Its a little long of an update, but lots of good detail so hang in there

[@ronracz9145]

Good review, the price isn’t bad at all, after 3 years it has held up pretty well

[@Yellowlab247_NC_Outdoors]

I agree, I think they’re more expensive now. The other thing is I keep it under a tarp where it never has sun exposure.

[@DLXSKIFFMITCHELL]

Good video. My buddy has the same one as you and I got the pto 50gal version for my tractor. You are right that sun will ruin one quick. Also you are right that my pto version will drop some fluid. I have it set now for 20gal per acre.

[@Yellowlab247_NC_Outdoors]

That will be my next upgrade is that 50 or 60 gallon with a PTO. I need to speed up that part of the process! Sidenote, do you want that hundred dollar gift card? Just comment with your email then I’ll delete the comment after I grab it and I’ll send that via E card.

@@Yellowlab247_NC_Outdoorsdid you get my email bud??

[@Albert-cf1es]

So basically its shit as everyone else says.

[@Yellowlab247_NC_Outdoors]

Eh, it really depends. For the money, it has worked well overall for me. Big jump in price (and performance) from this one to the PTO powered, so everything is relative

[@vb8213]

I would not buy again.
