Ooops. Going by memory.....but that is what I thought the price difference was. When my 3.8 went "bad" they didn't have a diaphragm in stock.....and I needed to spray. So I ended up buying a replacement 3.8 pump......and it could have been a rebuilt. I now have a "spare" pump.....but I suppose I should buy the diaphragm to make it serviceable again. I have done a better job of winterizing my sprayer after two seasons of disregard.....and subsequent expense. Or you could mail it to me and I'll rebuild it and make it serviceable again. Riiiiiight. (I'm way to frugal for that plan. grin)

Will the pump diaphragms hold up to the chemicals?

I got down here this afternoon, jumped on the 4wheeler with my 25 gal Fimco and sprayed 7 acres of Liberty herbicide with not one problem.
I like my Fimco!

What are you guys doing to clean your sprayers? I always run water through the sprayer but no other cleaner. Maybe the diaphrams need a better cleaning solution?

My pump was stuck today. Gave it a rap with a wrench and it took off. Wonder if I don't rinse correctly or if I should use some additive or cleaner? It worked good after it started.

We run RV anti freeze through it at year end.... Just our dumb sprayer preservation method..... I dunno where we came up with it. We just dont want water anywhere.

Anyone use this? I ran it through the sprayer my buddy let me borrow, then I ran just water through it after. I've only used it once so I don't have a real feel for how well it works

Ask any commercial sprayer from a coop, they rarely use tank cleaner. Tank cleaner at times can cause more problems than good.
