3 point spray rig and tank question

I need to get one for my tractor, but do not want to spend a whole lot of money. Any of you guys had any experience with the "budget model" sprayers. I would like a 40 or 50 gallon tank and about an 8-10 foot boom. Not going to be used for daily agriculture so I don't want to buy a "farm ready" 5 or 10 thousand dollar model. But, I also don't want one that breaks, burns out, or springs a leak the first time I use it. I figure it will get less than 20 hours of use per year. Will be spraying 10 acres of food plots and a 5 acre farm HQ plus a 3 acre yard at the house.

I bought a 40 gallon 3 point hitch electric powered Fimco sprayer at Tractor Supply, 10 ft boom for about $300. It has worked really well for me. I don't spray a lot but need a big tank for my 7 acres and hunting place.

I had looked at that one in particular, and was wondering if it was worth the money. Thanks for the info, GWDawg.

Beats $1000 for a pto powered sprayer, and does the same thing. Only thing I found was the power cord was a little short to hook directly to the battery, so I rigged up a cigarette lighter plug right behind the tractor seat with the on off switch on my right side. Since it's not pto powered you need the switch close by to turn off the pump.
