Since no one in the testimonials wrote anything about your sprayers, I thought that I would write this note. About thirty years ago (1983) I lived in Wilton, CT and bought your sprayer, which appears to match your current PS322T model. Three years later, I took it with me to Northern then Southern California and have used it until 2013. It was always stored covered outdoors; and yes – about 8 years ago, the tank cracked and leaked, but I used a Harbor Freight plastic welder (about $10) to fix it and never leaked since. Now, I moved back to the East Coast (Coastal NC), but the 3HP B&S motor refused to start, even after I replaced the original sparkplug and spraying quick carburetor / engine starter. So, I just bought a 79CC Harbor Freight motor (on sale for $79). Everything worked again, albeit not to the original Hypro piston pump’s PSI specs. It is leaking, thus losing pressure. But it still works on shorter trees. Even as today’s prices have sky rocketed, I have to decide now if I want to have the pump repaired (replace gaskets / O-rings / leather cups), buy a replacement new Hypro pump (about $300), buy a DELAVAN RollerPro pump (about $100), or install a SHURflo electric Northern Tools pump (about $80), albeit much weaker and electricity-dependent pump . I do want to acknowledge your 30+ years’ product which had served my orchard needs, and lasted that long.
Thank you!
