Frost Inc 50 gal UTV sprayer review

[Turkish]

Great review, just replaced my fimco 25 gallon that was twenty years old with mabe 1K acres through it.The new Fimco has had the gage, and all the valves replaced with in first 30 acres. Now need to replace the manifold. looking back at sprayer I gave my brother I should have realize the only thing fimco stock was the 25 gallon tank. The new sprayer I also purchased there boomless setup to do roads and trails to keep from tearing up my boom sprayer. I like to run 10 gallons of spray per acre for good coverage. The nozzles on boomless sprayer put out 5 gallons per acre at (cant remember exactly) 6 MPH and had poor results. New nozzles for boomless are quite expensive. Next year going to rebuild everything out of tank in stainless and thinking about higher quality pump while doing it. The only thing I have good to say about Fimco is I love there boom sprayer even though I have had to weld cracks couple times over the years. Might be because they use dripless TEEjet parts.

You usually need a high capacity pump to run those boomless nozzle according to their specs. Droplet size is way too coarse and coverage is way too inconsistent unless you’re pushing 40psi or more, and the typical 2gpm pumps won’t come close. You can partially overcome this by increasing your rate to 20-30 gallons per acre.

I hall all water not having a well. Boomless is not going to work for me. I run high volume pumps for filling tanks.

I have tee jet fan nozzles on my sprayer. Is there an upgrade that reduces drift? Or are these good?

Check out this spray tip calculator to get a good idea of what you should look for based on speed and application. And remember that most nozzles, no matter which brand, have color coding for the various ISO. You can also see what PSI you should spray with. SUPER HELPFUL!

Very nice setup. What pump is on that setup?

15 gal fimco is still alive after 5 or 6 years. homemade 2 nozzle boom, bought a larger strainer for the pump inlet. Got a spare pump for it, never needed it yet. Only recent failure was at camp, the power switch.

A big plus for folks who use pond or creek water.. I have a 12v bilge pump attached to a 50 mesh strainer to fill the tank. Makes for zero clogs for me.

Thats amazing! I believe the pump setup on the Frost Sprayer is a 4GPM Remco pump. Can be fixed based on the parts inside and not just replacing a whole, expensive pump. Best of luck on year number 6/7

Perfect timing! I just upgraded to a Demco sprayer and it has different tips I need to figure out. Blue floodjets on 40" spacing. Just got done cleaning it up from the last owner, gotta grab numbers off tips.
