As promised earlier in the year I have finally posted my review of the new addition to TractorView farm the 4660 Spray Coupe. I have to say that for a small to mid sized farming operation this sprayer is the perfect fit. If your looking to move from a ground sprayer to an economical high clearance outfit this has been great around our farm.
