Those look like they would be fun to run.

On anything but perfectly flat, soft soil they're not. At least the older ones weren't. To light, every little bump rocked the machine. I never had the privilege but I know people who hated running them.

The guy we hire to spray our fields owns one. He said that its a nice little sprayer but you get pretty shook up by the end of the field. This spring he bought a John Deere and says his back thanks him everyday.

Not sure how they ride, never been in one. However I know the local Southern States has a fleet of them. So they are popular for the company. I have saw them being towed down the road behind a tank truck, or being pulled by a tank/sprayer trailer. Most ones I see is the 2WD or 4WD versions. They been using this brand for long as I can remember. Since Agco killed the Spra Coupe brand. I don't know what they will run later down the road when they replace them.

You have a commercial spraying outfit that uses Spra Coupes? They seem kinda small and light for that type of application.

I saw a trike Spra Coupes today sitting in a pasture. I couldnt get a chance to take a picture. RoGator, Hagie, Deere, CIH Patriots, and some Millers are the most used sprayers in my area but i see some of the small Spra Coupes or Haiges out applying still.

They always ran Spra Coupes as far as I can remember. They are light so you can haul them easily. And small since our fields are small anyways. Most sprayers in the area don't get too far over 60ft booms. Since most our fields rarely hit 75 acres in size. The average is around 20-50 acres range. |

Nolan The other popular SP sprayer in the area is John Deere. I have saw a Willmar too. The rest is pull types of various brands. |
