We have had a 3185 w/90ft booms for several years. I think it's a 2009, but it had 200ish hours on it and had sat for a year or two due to the previous owner's retirement. Have a little over 1500 hours on it now. Brother runs it, but can tell you we've had great luck with it and like the light weight, with only few minor isssues. We've rebuilt a couple of cylinders, replaced the hydraulic hoses to the wheel motors and a couple of other small hoses, a potentiometer on the boom fold, and probably a couple of other minor things I can't think of. They commonly have a battery drain if left sitting for more than a couple days (we use a disconnect). The outer boom fold hinge where the cylinder hooks to a linkage has an upside down bolt welded in that can break. Weak design but we have re welded it a couple of times and is not a big deal. There is a hose loop that is held onto the bolt with a nut sticking up there, so easy to spot. We set it up with AgLeader auto steer valves and boom section control. Brother can spray 400 acres a day by himself running back and forth to the water source, more if nursed. Has been a good sprayer for us.
