To the best of my knowledge once bought new it can be used for 3 years before testing needs to be carried out on it. It's a few years since I did coarse so sorry if the info is out of date/wrong I'm sure more informed people on here will correct me if wrong

What size fields are you planning on doing? 100l/ac is the rough recommendion for water use. If a 600 or 800l is only 2/300e more then I'd suggest going that bit bigger.

Exempt from test for 5 years. Hold your receipt of date of purchase as the sprayer stamp will show date of manufacture which could be a year or two earlier.

One of the guys who quoted me for an Agrional sprayer would sell last years model quite a bit less . He said the 2019 model would conform to regulations changes planned but that last years might not... Do not know whether true or not but the 2019 model seems to have everything.... Massive price difference between different agents. Unless I am getting my wires crossed seems to be in the region of €700 on same sprayer.. same boom. Will check again when deal secured

Don't know what part of the country you are in but know a friend bought a new 600l agrional for 2k recently.

I'm in the market for a new sprayer now too, although I'll probably hold off until next year. I was in a dealers today, and noticed he had Parlayan sprayers in stock. I never heard of them before, but they looked decent enough. Seemed to have very heavy booms... Has anyone any experience of them?

The link isn't the dealer that I saw them at. I'm just attaching it as it's what came up on a google search for Parlayan sprayers....
