- Folks have been asking for a Sprayer walk around and review. Join us as we review the FIMCO 40 Gallon 3 point sprayer after 3 years of field use. We also explore upgrades and required repairs.
I run into your videos everywhere, which is pretty cool since I'm in PBO myself.
The channel small hobby farmers and hunters didnt know they needed! Lol PBO short for Pittsboro?
A friend of mine got the same one years ago and had the same bolt crack issue. I got a 40 gallon TSC sprayer, but not a three point model. It rides in the back of the truck. My boom fits into my receiver hitch and I made my boom with two 10 foot spray nozzles from Northern Tool so I get 20 feet with each pass. I plug the switch into the trailer lights and I can turn it on and off by using my light switch in the cab. It is a pretty neat set up. If I had a SxS like a Ranger it would work well in the back bed of that too. Thanks for the video.
Good deal man, thx for this. Just bought this sprayer and putting it together today. If I didn't watch this, no doubt I would have put the bolts in on the bottom of the tank.
Glad you watched, hopefully saved you a lot of headache and money ! Thanks for watching

I took the bolts out as you recommended.
2 3/4 passes through the field a strap broke and the tank was on the ground.
If you take the bolts out you may want to consider adding 2 ratchet straps.
This little issue cost me a day and over $70 in parts for the repair.
The pump mount is also broken now but I did not replace.
Interesting! Going on year 4 now spraying both spring and fall with no issues. Wonder if they changed something?? Hate to hear that!

The metal straps are pretty flimsy.
I should have known better. 😁
Good review, the price isn’t bad at all, after 3 years it has held up pretty well
I agree, I think they’re more expensive now. The other thing is I keep it under a tarp where it never has sun exposure.
I have one for 2 months. Cracked by the bolts in the bottom returning to tractor supply
Yup! That is why I left the bolts out, learned that from someone before me. 4 years spraying spring, summer, and fall and no leaks for me
@@Yellowlab247_NC_Outdoors I returned mine and ordered a wildlife farming sprayer. Waiting for it to come in so I can compare quality.
Good video. My buddy has the same one as you and I got the pto 50gal version for my tractor. You are right that sun will ruin one quick. Also you are right that my pto version will drop some fluid. I have it set now for 20gal per acre.
That will be my next upgrade is that 50 or 60 gallon with a PTO. I need to speed up that part of the process!
Sidenote, do you want that hundred dollar gift card? Just comment with your email then I’ll delete the comment after I grab it and I’ll send that via E card.
@@Yellowlab247_NC_Outdoors I replied back on the other post with my email and I saw it was gone.
@@DLXSKIFFMITCHELL spam got completely out of control. I had to delete and turn off comments. Sorry I missed it.
@@Yellowlab247_NC_Outdoors no problem bud
@@Yellowlab247_NC_Outdoorsdid you get my email bud??
When’s the dove field video gonna be posted
Filmed it today, will try to get it up by tomorrow! Corn is drying out, tons of millet, and a bunch of doves
6 p.m! Its a little long of an update, but lots of good detail so hang in there
So basically its shit as everyone else says.
Eh, it really depends. For the money, it has worked well overall for me. Big jump in price (and performance) from this one to the PTO powered, so everything is relative
I would not buy again.
