I stripe soccer fields all over the Phoenix area and prior to owning this machine I used the inverted aerosol-can type machine, which was easy to use when it worked correctly but a major pain when it didn’t & that’s a parallel I’d like to draw in regard to the FieldLiner3. This machine works great- when in a perfect condition. Very little, if any, room for any divergence from all points being in perfect form which, I may be assuming that yall who are reading actually stripe fields, but there is barely/rarely a time when every detail is in perfect shape. Either there’s buildup of paint from miles of use, or just flat-out wear’n’tear issues from those same miles of use, this machine will give fits & slow progress. If there was, by design, a wee-bit of wiggle room, just a degree or two of “real-life” engineered into the machine, I’d give it 25 out of 10. That’s a big “IF,” I know. But stranger things have happened….
Overall, for $1000, I’d have expected better components in regard to the sprayer, the bike-brake style actuator, even the deck/platform was under-designed. You can’t put a 5-gallon backup bucket in the foredeck because the distance between the wheels is too narrow by a half inch or so. The pressure vessel is probably the best attribute, but it’s too small. 3gallons comes close to doing an entire field but close is only good in horseshoes, hand grenades & pregnancy, and being able to lay down one full field before having to go thru the process of reloading the vessel would have been genius. It just seems that someone had a really good idea, designed it up in their CAD system, and never used it. Or, even worse, didn’t care about those minor inconveniences that snowball into making fields late for finish, which can lead to mad clients who look elsewhere to give their biz to. It just seemed like the design was great at conception but thru every cost-cutting process they could find, said process was implemented. For $1000, your think that the cable pull to actuate the flow tip would be comfortable, bike-like material for eliminating the scorching heat making the stainless steel feel like it’s making your hands into bacon grabs.
But when this thing is on point, it’s great. I love it, and then again kinda don’t. It has its moments. I’ve taken the time to remove the horrid original stainless steel pull with one off if my bikes, and it works better. You can’t tell me that the cost difference between the components is that much where a $1000+ retail cost wouldn’t cover it enough to keep profits in the green range.
It’s still a 4 of 5 situation though. It’s miles above the inverted aerosol can rig in its usability and overall help to the cause. At $1000 it’s still a bit steep but you can’t tell make it be cost-effective by treating it with a whole lot of extra care, some slight mods and patience.
