What’s more, this model is actu ally better than the original Apache 500 because most of the components on this sprayer are the same as those used on our 850, 1000, and 1200 Series ma chines.” Many consider Apache’s me chanical drive system to be more economical than hydrostatic drive because it’s rugged and less expensive to maintain. In addition, the Apache’s simpli fied system often enables owners to make any necessary repairs themselves, thereby getting the sprayers back in the field and re ducing downtime.
