I was excited to what i thought was a great sprayer at a decent price. It is a bell equipment sprayer and i bought it new. It has 2 boomless nozzles, hand wand, etc. It says it is quick hitch compatible. I bought it new from a dealer down the road. Well, i get it home and realize that the lift pins are a cat 3 to 2 tapered pin and the top link pin is a 1 1/8 diameter and it isn't even close to fitting my quick hitch with a 32" spread between the pins. It pisses me off that this thing is fit for a category 3 and category 2 tractor and it being only 110 gallon. When i looked at it, i saw the tapered pins and just thought it was category 2 to 1, but i cant even use my category 1 with this sprayer unless i modify or go buy some parts. I sent a long nasty email to the manufacturer complaining about the category 3 hookup for a 110 gallon sprayer and i am wondering if any of you agree. I don't mind fabricating a new 3pt frame, but I shouldn't have to and i really should have looked closer at the pins. Is it unreasonable to think that a 110 gallon sprayer would normally have a cat 1 hookup and maybe cat 2, but definitely not cat 3. I'll send pics tomorrow before i get the torch to it.
