We used to pull a 1,000 gallon 60' sprayer with our 1086 and it handled it great, now we have a 1,250 gallon 90' sprayer and with a sprayer that size I wouldn't want any less than 150hp on it. I'd say a 7420 would handle a 1,000 gallon sprayer okay but you might not want to fill it clear full all the time if you have much for hills. In my opinion a big sprayer is harder to stop than it is to pull but MFD would help you with that.
