Sprayer Recommendations

Looking to buy a pull type sprayer in the 800-1100 gal range, 40-60 foot boom, and a hydraulic driven pump, not PTO. Im coming from a specialty crop background and am not too familiar with row crop sprayers and manufacturers.


Does anybody have any recommendations on brand or model? Im seeing a lot of Bestway and Hardi sprayers for sale in my area. Anything to stay away from?


Thanks for the help.

We run a Top Air with 90 foot booms. It’s a 2006 model and we really like it. They seem to be well built. I would buy another one. They would have all that you would need as far as size and pump.
