Hey I am pretty new to the forum but have a few questions about a 4940 sprayer. We currently have a 4830 sprayer and are really needing to either get into a larger setup or get another 4830 or 4730. Its a family farm and are short handed and are leaning towards just going up to a 4940 or the new series 49 whatever that is but we are very concerned with the weight not just while spraying but also hauling. I haul our 4830 everywhere and usually have 3200 gal of water and 2 totes of chemical and usually something to the sort of AMS. With that set up and everything full im around 83000lbs. Im just wondering if there are any 4940 guys out there hauling them and how much more the weigh..Thanks!

we haul our 4940 with a roadruner 4000 tri axle trailer. It has a 3200 gal tank plenty of room for two totes and chem handler. We also haul with the sprayer full with no problems

Ya the tri axle would help...we just have a spread, do you have any idea what you weight with 3200gals of water and 2 full totes of chemical

Something to think about , you might want to go with a 3600 gal tank, to give your self 3 fill if you to a 49 !

i havent put it on the scales but believe 3200 gal plus trailer is a bit overweight on the drivers. I think a tridrive and 3600 gallon tank would be a sweet setup

Ya ive got a 500 gallon im going to add to the trailer if we go with the 49...surely the spread axle can handle the weight just wont be legal

Do you guys think we will be okay hauling a 4940 with just a spread axle trailer instead of a tri-axle?
