Wow that truck, trailer, and excavator look brand new. Nice equipment! Yeah it may have been a long day but you got to play with real Tonka Toys. Yep a good day!Soil Line replacement with power mole.
Deep dig unfortunately.

Then things took a turn for the worse. While backfilling, the skies opened up with lightening, pouring rain and hail. Then, to top off a 13 hour day, the truck ran out of fuel 1.5 miles from my destination. Had to read the owners manual in the dark to re-prime the pump. Long, hot and eventually muddy day but OK with me.

I finally got my tick spraying done on Saturday and a couple days without rain. Always the challenge. I don’t have a setup to do it with my Orange so I just strap it to my quad.Put the replacement Fimco sprayer on its skid and was all set to do some serious herbicide spraying. Good thing I checked the weather forecast. Sure enough thunderstorms rolled in shortly after this pix was taken. Hopefully will get some time in the next day or so - the weeds seem to love this weather!

looks exactly like my Fimco unit. I hope your's had quality control better than mineI finally got my tick spraying done on Saturday and a couple days without rain. Always the challenge. I don’t have a setup to do it with my Orange so I just strap it to my quad.
I got mine from Northern Tool. Tightened everything out of the box and check it with water before the first use of the year to make sure nothing worked loose. I also disconnect the pump and drain out all the lines so I don’t have freezing issues in the winter. So far 3 yrs and no issues. I did have to put a new seal on the drain plug but a garden hose seal did the trick for me. My only complaint with this unit are the tie down straps they send with it. I junked them and went with some cheap ratchet straps that actually secure 25gal of moving liquidlooks exactly like my Fimco unit. I hope your's had quality control better than mine
I just came in from 1st use - not going to rain until late this afternoon and I had some '1hr safe' herbicide.
I guess they forgot to tighten the hose clamp on the handle. Hose fell off and drenched me
When I finished I went to take off the hose cap on the drain and realized it had been leaking - even tho I checked / tightened it before I started. Turns out there is a flat side on the threads. Put some teflon tape on but have to come up with a permanent solution or return this one too.

I didn’t even thing to look elsewhere. There always seems to be a Northern Tool catalog floating around the house just tempting me. I would like to build a 3pt hauler I could attach the sprayer to and use the tractor. Much easier to steer at lower speeds than that quad. I ran a 12v connector up to my fender on the B3200 so I have power to run the pump. Just need to spend the time and money to get it built.lol, you were obviously wiser than me
I also use ratchet straps to hold it to that skid - kind of a semi-permanent arrangement. I always thoroughly flush the sprayers when done and am lucky enough to have a garage door in our basement. Most of my implements that are driven by the pto and this sprayer will hibernate during winters there.
