I have just purchased a 55-gallon sprayer that I will be using on my B2320.

When its full, I am going to have 450 pounds or so of water sloshing around in the sprayer. How much horizontal sway in the lower links should I allow for in order to avoid any potential damage to the 3PH components?

I'll be interested to see what others say. I try to keep sway to a minimum. The thought process is that added sway gives the implement a "run for it" to gain momentum till it hits the limit.

I have to agree with chim. Less sway with that particular use is optimal.

I crank my sway bars tight, on everything. Just what I do, not sure if it's Kosher or not. One or two inches of play seems plenty.

Another vote for as little sway as possible.
