FNHIR Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 Was just re-reading an old Warner Hall article last night re Britains sprayers and it got me thinking - why was the Evrard sprayer only available in a set with the MF2680 and 3680?

BC Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 As far as I know. I have it on the MF3680 as model number 9607 and on the MF2680 as model number 9615 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FNHIR Posted April 14, 2011 Author Share Posted April 14, 2011 Oh I know it was only with the MFs - was just wondering why! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 I sent this query to Warner for you since he probably knows the best answer! He has just responded Hi Andy, This Everard Sprayer was issued in 9615 in 1987 with the MF2680 and finished in 2000 with the MF3680. I had persuaded Britains that they should have a Sprayer with a front mounted tank and I had identified Everard as a French Company that were making in-roads into the UK with their Sprayers. Britains were also very keen to produce more for the EU market and Everard fitted that bill. The front tank of 9615 & 9607 was mounted on the original 'muledozer' fittings under the tractor. The MF 3680 was the last of the original line up of tractors that had those fixings moulded underneath. As soon as these tractors left the range ( not before time!) there was no way the front tank could be fitted to any Britains tractors. However I tried, till I was blue in the face to get them to market the rear tank with the sprayer , but it never happened. I hope that gives the answer you require.

FNHIR Posted April 14, 2011 Author Share Posted April 14, 2011 That's what I was thinking It is kind of odd though isn't it? For instance the Evrard fitted on a Ford 5610 (the wheels of which were better suited to spraying anyway!) and presumably others, so it would surely have made sense to sell it on its own?

FNHIR Posted April 22, 2011 Author Share Posted April 22, 2011 To take it the opposite extreme - imagine if he'd never got in contact with them and they produced things without his expertise! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
