What is the best self propelled sprayer and what features do you like on them?

Question

We're just starting to look for a good used self propelled sprayer.  Thinking JD.  We have a pull type now.  For those of you with experience with them what are your favorite brands and models and what are the positives and negatives to watch out for?

Answer

Well keep that in mind as we do our research.  Thanks

Answer

Have run case and JD.  Case is quieter with engine in back.  I question their argument about being better balanced though.  In case at end of day back would be killing me.  Not so with JD.  Take a little more noise over sore back.

Answer

Deere has a great gps system and that’s what my tractors have so it keeps it easy.

Answer

I run a2021 sts 16 Hagie 120ft boom spray fungicide on corn 900ac day, have had 5 hagies thelast was 2017the boom on new one much better love it.

Answer

Have run 854 Ag chem and JD currently.  Older JD don’t have cradle boom so boom tips are in ground more when field has draws.  Auto boom height is nice at 12+ mph and floatation tires help ride and tracks in spring.  Auto section control keeps from overlapping .  Service support will be greater when learning operations.

Answer

I went with a 1084 SS Rogator last year. very pleased with it. I highly recommend a Rogator machine with Section Control at least. They are built like a tank and easy to run and understand! Plus getting parts as simple as a nozzle body is about 40% cheaper than JD.   The machine has 5200 hrs and still going strong.

Answer

I just bought my first self propelled sprayer and did a lot of research into this I decided to go with a 1254 rogator reason being is because most of the parts I need for it I can get through my local napa I'd stay away from a falcon system though for sprayer rate control they are problematic and just as expensive as a new raven. The sprayer is built very simple and very durable visibility is very good and the ride is nice and smooth compared to the other rogators with the jd combine cab.down side to the 1254 is the wheel motors the seal alone for a leaking wheel motor us 1900 bucks there's a place in Nebraska that will reseal them for 2500 but I am very satisfied with mine  I'm a die hard cnh guy but the rogator isn't leaving here anytime soon

Answer

We prefer a tall sprayer for fungicide applications in corn. Spraying our own fungicide in tasseled corn provides a higher return on investment. A few different brands out there. We have operated them all. All have pros and cons. For us it has to be a true highboy sprayer to not break off corn.  It would come down to your dealer when choosing the brand.

Answer

I’ve ran spray coup, jd 4025, hagie dts 10, and hagie sts 12. The hagie sts 12 has been my favorite. The Hagie’s aren’t worth the extra expense unless you’re going to fungicide your corn.

Answer

We got our first self propelled this year.  Went with an older Hagie. I really like being able to see the booms.  I can see when a problem occurs

Answer

If you are interested in a Hagie I have a 2011 sts 10 I am going to part with in another month

It has new leg bushing on all legs,  new tires, set up with ag leader gps.  It has been farmer owned

Answer

We’re on our 3rd case patriot. Reliable machine. Don’t touch any aim command pro machines.

Answer

I've owned Miller Niro sprayers for years.  Well built, commercial grade machine.  Good weight balance loaded or empty.  1600 gallon tank is nice & 120' boom.  Current model is 6345.  Really like the boom out front.  Hard to go to a rear boom now.  Run 620/70R42 tires most of the time.  Also have a narrow set that I change to late bean spraying and preharvest.  Case dealer has been good at service.  Run AIM Command Pro system.  Has performed well on the big boom.

Answer

I run a 2013 Hagie STS12. Purchased new so was before Deere bought them. I really like the front boom and clearance. I think the newer models with Deere powerplant and tech support would be even better due to better Deere service network in my area.

Answer

I would go with a Miller/new holland. That’s what i have i can apply fungicide on corn and can see my booms just like haggie. I think that that millers are better built. I used to run haggie but i just think that the miller is nicer. 49/51% weight on front to rear axel empty and 51/49% weight when full is really nice. Another nice thing about Miller is you can change the tires with its own hydro lids instead of using a expensive sprayer jack
