Re: apache 710
Now thats cool. I'll be watching this one. Are you gonna make it where it can actually spray. It'd be cool to be able to spray your yard from a lawnchair. I can imagine the looks on the neighbors faces now. LOL

Re: apache 710
That is looking great. Nice metalwork.

Re: apache 710

Re: apache 710
Great video! Thanks for sharing the updates. The boom folds up so smoothly. I like that you have a full set of hydraulics on this model.

Re: apache 710
This rig is awsome...i have seen it in person and it is detailed down to the the last spray nozzel. I went to the Memphis Gin and Cotton show a couple back and one of the vendors represented apache. I showed them a video i had of this from Indy. They thought it was store bought. It is a museum piece.

Re: apache 710
