| I have a 9430 w/ 100 ft booms, I would not mind 120 ft anymore, it would work out better for me.
I love my sprayer though. I bought it used, pull it with 4440, only issue I had was the flip over boom cylinders were giving me issues, on a higher hyd pressure tractor they worked fine, say like a 7810, but mine were just on the border line of folding or not. Called factory and worked with their techs. They were very good and helpful, and since they had a couple others that was same way, decided in my situation to go with the next size diameter larger cylinder. I found some aftermarket ones for 1/2 price, put on new hoses while at it, and best thing I did, it made a BIG difference, plus slowed the fold speed just a little, which was a good thing too.
The only other thing I have found is some cracks at the flip over booms where the cylinder mounts are, nothing drastic, but something I watch for and keep an eye on. I drilled the cracks and rewelded, and its been fine since.
Mine has a side inductor, but I rarely use since my inductor is with the tender, and is larger.
Very happy with fold box, pump, valves etc. basically all Raven
I run mine with a Ag Leadaer Versa. Love the autoswath.
I would still like to have duals on mine for burndown if ground conditions would be a little soft, but then I need to change the wheel hubs according to factory OEM parts.
So if you are going to order a new one, I would spec it for duals, so you will have the larger hub to begin with, or at least ask about it.
I dont know if I like the flange seal connections yet....they work ok, but can be a pain when reinstalling to get alignment, because of this I have changed a few things to cam lock connections to correct this, helps for washing and diagnosing, I REALLY REALLY like the large Banjo strainers.
Mine has the 3 way nozzle bodies, I would never order one again with that option, just single, for me a one man band, I can wash booms, change nozzles and be running again in less than 1 1/2 hr. Usually get a break whether it be weather or timing when I need to switch anyway.
I mounted a large storage box on the side for extra tools and parts, NICE, especially if you have fields far away. I also made a receiver hitch that I pull a wagon and nurse tank if in a pinch.
VERY GOOD sprayer, and good company to call if you have trouble, I would definitely buy ANOTHER !
Edit: The frames are powder coated, I am not a fan of this, on mine, there are many places where the coating is lifting / peeling at a sharp edge of metal. I am a little tolerant of this on mine, I bought mine used, and it sat out along a State Route from the dealer for a whole winter and I am convinced it got salt and brine spray on it. It needed some love when I got it home. Proper cleaning, primer and paint brought a lot of it back to shape again, but I wish the frames were painted from factory with a urathane paint.
