Sparky-(Admin) 19,680 #2 Posted March 19, 2011 Hows the steering when the tank is full? And what do you spray with it? Mike......... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Giles 2 #3 Posted March 19, 2011 Hows the steering when the tank is full? And what do you spray with it? Mike......... Like power steering A little light in the front when tank is full, just have to be carful when going uphill forward or sideways on incline. I have sprayed hundreds of gallons but with throttle set at just above idle, there is little chance of a front end lift. Been CAREFUL and LUCKY so far. :thumbs: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jtmoyer 1 #8 Posted March 19, 2011 im planning on putting one together together today on the back of the 416, just wont look as nice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Giles 2 #9 Posted March 19, 2011 im planning on putting one together together today on the back of the 416, just wont look as nice. I would suggest that you make a strong framework for support, since there is a lot of weight hanging off the back. My framework serves two purposes. My rear fenders were cracking so I removed the assembly and made a support frame for the fender assembly to rest on. I used 1/8 x 1 1/2 angle iron with a section across the back to hold the sprayer frame. I then supported the frame to the hitch.
