Well how about an offer?

[Turfdoctor1]

i just bought a brand new setup just about like that for $2200, with a trailer. So, don't get mad that no one is offering up all that cash

While the Beam Pump is the next best thing to a Hydra-cel pump, Use sprayers that size don't bring that much money. I am in Fla and even if I was looking for that size pump I wouldn't buy it because of shipping costs.

The fact that pump has been used long enough to wear out a motor doesn't make it a bad pump but It sure isn't new. The Mechanical Agitation is some thing different that is not all that common and I have to ask why you have it and what it was used for????

As far as offers go, your out of the ball park and offers would only be an insult.

Well I agree that it is expensive but a single tank poly is by no means a split tank tufflex. Not to mention this setup has mechanical agitation as well as jet agitation. A larg beam regulator not the small hypro disposable style found on most of the skid mounts.

Ric I am sure that you are know that the beam pumps cost almost 4 times what a d30 diaphram pump go for. also the john beam 10-10 pump is completley rebuildable. the pump has newer ceramics new head lifters and seats pumps a full 10 gal per min just like when it was brand new. The mechanical agitation allows you to have a better circulation. even if you need to turn the regulator up to spray higher volume.

My Main pump is a hydra-cel 25 and costs 4 times what a Beam 10 does. Yes I know the quality of a beam and won't knock them. You first Post didn't say you had a tufflex split tank. Yes they are first class also. Add in the Mechanical Agitation and this is a first class unit with a Bad motor.

But It is also an over kill for most Lawn Companies. New chemistry has most applications going down at less than a gallon per thousand on cool season turf. Even here in the bug capital of America most guys are no more that 3 gallons per thousands. I am old school and still go 6 gallons per thousand. Yes I still spray a lot but I also put down Granules. Today's trends are going back to granules and Ride on spreaders with boom sprayers.

I agree on the lower rates For over 10 years we have been spraying 2 gal per thousand w/ 3 gal per thousand for disease areas. I know that there are alot of much cheaper spray rigs out there. However this is a top notch unit that will last 10 times longer than any poly tank. w/ a hypro disposable pump.

I agree that the hydra-cell is a fantastic pump but i don't think you see many of these on skid mount systems.
We ran about 10 of these setups in our managers pickup trucks and about 60 1 ton trucks that were set up with 4 tanks for ipm. Those trucks had a central hydraulic system to avoid using pto's and they turned diaphram pumps as well as mechanical agitation.

Yes my Hydra-cel works off a PTO and that is not cheap to run. It is my main truck for doing large lawns and can get it. We spray a lot of straight pesticide because of our insect pressure here in the bug capital. I have other units that use the D 30 and I also have a multi tank trailer set up with 50 gallon D 19s.
My very first set up was a 12v Hydro pump and a 100 gal used fiberglass tank. The Manuel hose reel cost more that the entire set up. Amazing enough it was the set up with the least amount of maintain expense. I always had a second pump ready to go and could switch them out in a minute with a full tank. To day my PTO pump has two other tanks and hose reels with 8.5 GPM at 100 PSI Hypro pumps on them. As long as you don't use heavy material in these tanks the Heavy duty 12V Hypro pumps work great and has lasted a long time. However they are just at $ 700 in cost and draw 30 amps each.

I will admit for a skid sprayer Beam pumps are the best. I have seen the Big Beam pump set ups with two motors. A smaller one in the 5 hp range that is geared down and a larger one with Higher ratio pulley for high volume work. These are belt driven and the belts are just changed over.

well The pto is much cheaper than the Hydraulic system we use to spend 3,500.00 just to install it in 1 of our trucks we had close to 50 of our fleet running those systems I believe that we were the only ones with that setup around. we used chevy 3500 hundred trucks and tufflex low profile 500 gal tanks split 300/200 with a 100 gal drop tank split 50/50 this allowed us to cary a variety of products. The cost of our trucks from start to finish were just under $ 50,000.00 per vehicle and we had 98 in our fleet we built all of our trucks in house each winter adding 6 new trucks per year.
