Gav836 Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 Been playing around with a cheap Britains Evrard sprayer that I got at Spalding today and have given it a make over into a Hardi machine with boom supports and altered boom folding. It also now mounts on a Siku A-frame adaptor as in its original form I know it was a complete begger to get onto a lot of tractors \ Still got a little bit to do to it in the way of hoses and shafts yet, but let me know what you think so far From the side showing revised boom folding Boom support brackets A-frame mounting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdc Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 Looks the business Gav a few hoses etc will just finish it off a treat.. Nice set of 21 metre booms would be cracking.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 yeap, we had a set at the farm, where the arms come fright past the cab, can't remember the make now, but they were blue with white tank, and a slighlty smaller front tank fitted to, with a sheet along the bottom of the tractor, will be mounted on a 575 like we had with row wheels fitted on the rear, was left like that all year rather than dismantled at the end of use Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers John, if the Commander or Tecnoma weren't so expensive it would get a wider set of booms fitted \ yeap, we had a set at the farm, where the arms come fright past the cab, can't remember the make now, but they were blue with white tank, and a slighlty smaller front tank fitted to, with a sheet along the bottom of the tractor, will be mounted on a 575 like we had with row wheels fitted on the rear, was left like that all year rather than dismantled at the end of use Look forward to seeing it Sean, I'm guessing that they were probably Evrard ones that you had on the farm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Marcus, did think about a Berthoud but as I already had paint to suit a Hardi I went with that one I know the sprayers you mean, can even remember seeing one but can't put a mame to it at the minute \ I love it, are you going to build any more?? If I can obtain the sprayers at the right price then I will be, not easy to come by cheap unfortunately Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
