Used Sprayer Buying Guide

Buying a used sprayer allows you to get the equipment you need, but without breaking the bank. Due to depreciation, used sprayers will come at a lower asking price. But knowing you want to make a purchase is one thing. Knowing what to buy is its own challenge! We've created the following buyer's guide to help you in your search. If you have any questions or want to explore used sprayers for sale, head over to Bucklin Tractor & Implement. We operate six dealerships throughout Kansas.

1. Set a Budget

Begin your shopping process by making a budget. Sure, used sprayers come at a much lower sticker price than their new counterparts. But it's still important to think about how much you can realistically spend on a model. That way, you won't risk falling in love with models beyond your price point since you'll eliminate them at the start of your search. Setting a budget also helps you get the highest quality model that you can afford. 

As you think about a maximum budget, take into account how often you'll use the sprayer. If you'll be using the sprayer regularly, you'll want to invest extra money to ensure the model offers the durability and performance you want. If the sprayer will only be used occasionally, such as to handle pests, you can get by with spending less money on features.

2. Account for Your Property's Needs

Next, think about how the features of your property will influence what you need from the model. . Consider the size of your property and what performance capacity would be ideal.

You'll also need to factor in any challenges your property poses. If your land is flat and easily accessible, you can get just about any used sprayer. But if your land contains rolling hills or uneven ground, you will want to seek out models that are made with those obstacles in mind.

3. Research Used Sprayer Models

Once you know what you need, you can start exploring used sprayer options. A great benefit of shopping used models is that you get an extra resource: customer reviews. Spend some time reading through what current owners say about their purchase. Do they mention repeated issues, confusing control systems, or other red flags? Then you may want to cross that model off of your list. Do they talk about how much they recommend the product? Then you might want to seek that model out when you visit a used sprayer dealership. Use customer reviews to make a more informed purchasing decision.

4. Inspect the Used Sprayer

Once you find a used sprayer you are interested in, the final step is to give it a thorough inspection. Here you are looking for any red flags that could result in expensive repairs down the road. Carefully inspect the various parts of the used sprayer. You may even want to hire a professional since they can catch issues that average buyers miss. If the used sprayer meets your needs, fits your budget, and passes inspection, then you found your perfect match!
