1Redtractor - 12/26/2022 05:47 How well do the black booms hold up compared to the green booms on the newer sprayers?
Not as good. The green booms also follow the contour better and wing unfold/fold faster. The green booms are another huge improvement over the older 47/8/9 series.
When buying used, buy a machine with rough booms (booms are a wear item not unlike tires IMO) , get it cheaper because of the booms then put on aluminum booms in the width that you prefer and you can even get recirculation if that floats your boat. If you buy a used machine with pristine booms you pay for those pristine booms and have to run what it has. Just another thong to consider when buying used.
