FIMCO ATV Sprayer - My One Year Review for Hunting Food Plots and Lawns

[@crauchle]

$530 for this same sprayer now @ TS in my area, stinkin inflation out of control! Thanks for the review

[@Hylanders17]

Could always put a board under the other side to raise up the non drawing side

[@fsj197811]

Thanks for the review, very helpful.

[@creekriseoutdoors]

I appreciate the review. I just bought 180 acres in Ga and need to knock down some vegetation for food plots. This will come in handy.

[@cobiewilson974]

Just what I wanted! Thank you

[@NewDayOutdoors]

Glad it helped!

[@DIYFixer331]

Thank you for the great review. I just purchased the same sprayer yesterday. It seems it's too close to the ATV. I am thinking of completing a modification that will extend the boom towards the rear and lower it. I will use the unit to spray a large lawn. Based on your experience and use, do you think I would have a problem with my proposed modification? Just watched your first video and noted the recommended height. I also noticed you reference the height when speaking about food plot use. I will only use it on a lawn, so I think lowering will work best for my situation.

When you Put it on put a rubber between tank end frame no break

[@stephenyates7580]

You could prop the opposite side of the tank to achieve the lower drain

[@NewDayOutdoors]

Yeah this could be done and would help.

Looking to get into food plots. Been looking at a 15-16 gal sprayer. Do you think that size would work for spraying two 1/2 acre plots? Thanks!

[@NewDayOutdoors]

Yeah it works great for that. I can spray about 4 acres depending on what I am putting down.

[@chrishowell1413]

Hi. Thanks for the review. Does the boom spray while folded up? Need for apple orchard. Thanks

[@NewDayOutdoors]

Yes it does. But out of the vox you cannot isolate sections. For example of you just wanted a narrow spray pattern with the middle bar and the outsides folded up, you cannot shut off the outsides. However you could easily splice in valves to isolate booms.

[@chrishowell1413]

@@NewDayOutdoors thank you so much.

80 acres? Would you say a 65 gallon would be better suited for that size? Currently debating between getting a 25 gallon for my atv or a 65 gallon for my utv. I have about 45 acres of land surrounding a 30 acre lake.

[@NewDayOutdoors]

See my previous reply. I own 80 acres. I do not spray 80 acres with this.

[@PatrickHusting]

How big of an area can you spray before you run out of liquid?

[@NewDayOutdoors]

I spray about 4 acres at my house on my lawn before I have to refill. In total my lawn is about 6 acres.

[@Rubberglass]

My Fimco has leaky clamps too. Otherwise it’s been good.

[@NewDayOutdoors]

I ended up fixing my leaking fittings. I love this thing and it is still going strong to this day.

[@sobersportsman]

Loose fitting? Wasn't Boeing was it?

[@NewDayOutdoors]

LOL.

[@jimgregory6185]

You NEVER showed the boom sprayer

[@NewDayOutdoors]

@jimgregory6185 you mean the wand? It is a wand. Pretty simple. You can see it in the version of this video that you actually have to pay to watch. You got to watch a FREE video, so you get what you get, so don't throw a fit.

[@dblood8529]

Beautiful property. How much land do you own?

[@NewDayOutdoors]

About 80 acres

[@gem1n12]

@@NewDayOutdoors you feel the 25 gallons is sufficient for your 80 acres? Currently Debating between the 25 and 65 gallon.

[@NewDayOutdoors]

@@gem1n12 I own about 80 acres. I don't spray the entire 80 acres though. Much of my land is farmed. I use this 25 gallon sprayer on my lawn area which is about 5 acres of mowed grass. I also have a food plot adjacent to my house that is about 1 1/2 acres that I use the sprayer for. Then I have a couple smaller food plots ( 1/4 to 1/2 acre) on other properties that I use it for as wel. It is perfect for those uses. I would never use it to try to spray 80 acres. You will want a much larger tank and boom system for that kind of ground coverage.

[@DHTex11]

$600+ now

[@NewDayOutdoors]

I do not doubt it. Biden-nomics at work the past few years.

[@BrianSmith54381]

Spraying your dandelions😂😂…those are the first food source for pollinators coming out of a long winter. Respect all of gods creatures not just deer lol

[@NewDayOutdoors]

The pollinators can go find another weed infested lawn.

[@PrestigeWorldWidePWW]

Honesty the tanks are junk. Ours have broken every year.

[@NewDayOutdoors]

Mine has is still going strong. I use is many times each summer.
