    Mechanical drive or hydrostatic used SP?

    I’m looking at buying a used self propelled. Probably 3000l with a 24m boom. Price wise it’ll be ideally around £30,000 but definitely no more than £50,000 so going to be well used with hours on the clock.

    Why does it happen on bank holiday weekends?

    Best spray day we've had for weeks. Best spray day we've got forecast for weeks. Bloody alternator sh!t itself on the Bateman. No electrics, no spraying, apparently when the battery gets low enough the engine stops, then the emergency brake applies, even if you're driving down the road! Ho hum.

    Used Bateman

    I want to go and look at a high hour Rb16, what are the common issues to check on it? Where do they wear? Is there any way of testing the hydrostatic system? Do they do 40k on the road? Do they have a foot brake or is it only braking through the hydro system?
