Sprayer Question

[Guest]

Have to admit a little surprised with a moniker like Caseih that you like a Rogator. Certainly have nothing against them, have a really good local dealer, just not as many used available and therefore more expensive. I spray lots of Liberty and on occasion fungicide so a larger tank would help efficiency imo.

Just chose that name cause there was too much green on here lol
We dont marry any of them although farm is quite red
Saw a girl in a red bikini once when i was young , red is favorite color ever since
Thr RG 700 is light years ahead of the 7660 FWIW

Ya, dealer support huge.
One stop support for in house parts and knowledge. The tech guy most valuable in the building.
My impression after only running 3330.
Gators tough, but no decent support here. Deere's good but weak booms.
I take it your not stretching your tank.
Some nh had riskier hyd systems if higher hours.
AIM command ho hum. Get it if you can.
Don't pay full premium for it.
But I like it.
Case monitor and controler etc.
NOT Raven.

Need to be a gnome or elf to work on engine area. 4 series bigger.
Push 3000 hrs start to see more nuisance internal breaks in harnesses.
NP on booms at all.
Make sure turbo intake PIP done if needed. Clamps weren't on properly on some. And it's an Iveco engine.
Don't run it out of fuel.
And DO check your crank breather filter.
If you see a Pro 600 factor in a $5k replacement.
RTK subscription useful if a lot of fung.
Auto height works well. Get the air compressor if you want lifters I guess.
A treat to drive.
Yes maintain the rad and filters.

I ran out of fuel one time too, learned my lesson that was once too many.

Hamloc, if you like your current sprayer minus the tank size, why not look at upgrading your sprayer tender to load faster? Unless that's something you've done already. Some systems cut load time drastically. Or if you have help, hot load.

Apache's are like a sportscar compared to the heavy hydrostatic four wheel drives. Its lighter full with 1200gals than a deere is empty. Ran side by side with a deere incrop in soggy conditions one day his ruts were gross in comparison.

Biglentil initially I had wanted to replace my 7660 with an Apache as my preference has always been to avoid hydrostatically driven sprayers. More than one of my neighbors has had expensive repair bills replacing wheel motors. The problem is that there are very few used Apache sprayers available. There was a decent low houred one that sold reasonable on RB auctions the other day but it didn't have drop boxes on the rear. There are more used Caseih sprayers available now which has moderated the price. Still shopping but certainly appreciative of everyone's opinions.

I have a Rogator 1300, it has just about 1300hrs on it now and the only problem I have had is one exhaust temperature sensor. They are tough, quieter in the cab than a Case, and with the fats on impossible to get stuck. Great dealer support, wish I had the sharpshooter on it but pretty expensive to retrofit. Took me a little while to get used to the Raven as I had always been a outback guy, but it is ok.
