My dad had a 200l Florida 3-point sprayer that he used to spray his small apple orchard. I inherited the property and the sprayer. It’s only been used a couple dozen times since 2000.
I don’t really need it. I almost had a heart attack when I saw they retailed for over 5K (CDN). what do you think I could realistically ask for it?

You first have to find someone who needs/wants one to determine it's value. You could start by advertising it at 1/3 the cost of new, then lower the price and time goes on?

I have a friend who bought a 100 acre farm "lock, stock and barrel". He has one of those blower sprayers setting in his barn. It's brand new, still on the original pallet. He bought that place about 15 years ago and hasn't found a buyer yet....but then he's in Kansas so not too many fruit farms.

Would be a different story if you had lots of fruit tree farms up there... Are there many up there?

If you brought it down to (lets just pick a state...) Like, Florida you might be able to sell it for a decent price. The whole supply and Demand thing...

I did "rescue" a sprayer from the junk yard... removed the sprayer part of it and I use it to blow my leaves. Yours look to only blow upwards...


Shoot, bring it to NC, there are tons of new wineries popping up around here. So, around here, you might get 2 grand with a winery that needed one.

Tons of orchards here. Mostly switching from apples to cherries now. Hard to make money on apples, it seems.
