Thinking of Buying a (New) Sprayer/New Regs

Parishlad

I'm going to buy a sprayer and will probably go for a 400l Jarmet. For the amount I need to do I can't see any point in forking out for the more expensive brands.

What I was wondering though is if anyone knows if the Jarmet sprayers comply with the latest spraying/sprayer regulations. A neighbour of mine mentioned in passing that they did not, but I find it hard to believe that any would be sold/bought nowadays if that was the case.

Still have to price around but will be checking out Whites in Portadown as seemed to have been best value looking through older threads here.

The jarmet are reg compliant, BIL got his one tested and it needed no modification where as I'm getting a hardi tested and it needs a few bits doing like pto shaft U cover and drain off valves etc. I think a new sprayer is test exempt for 5 years. 400 litre jarmet on DD for €1650

Few years since I got mine but only 1200 from whites at the time as far as I can remember.

Thanks!! Was thinking that a new sprayer would have to be compliant so that's good to know.

Any probs dealing with Whites?

No, ordered over the phone and took a cheque on delivery. Couldn't have been simpler.
