Action shots of the ag-tec sprayer and 790

The weather finally cooperated, sprayed for Adelgids, pine weavel, and spider mites. All insects that are determined to ruin the spruce and pine. Not to mention it cuts down on the wasp nests that you find to late pruning different trees The misses took the pics

Boy, I don't know about that. Drink enough of that stuff, and I can recommend some good cancer chemo drugs, but I can also tell you that they aren't any good for parties.

Thanks mjncad! the tank is 110 gallons. Not really for a small tractor, I just fill to 50 gallons or so. Even then it is a bo-hemith of an implement. As far as drinking the stuff chuckinNH, I dont. A cab would be nice, but there is aways just a slight breeze and you just spray with it, not into it and back in your face

I wasn't nagging, but I did lose both an uncle, and a cousin to the shifting winds around here and open station spraying, and I am undergoing chemotherapy myself, so just a heads up if you hadn't thought about it. Nice looking setup for sure!

I have been working with pesticides for 31 years, i started using all the saftey gear 10 years ago, wish i had done it sooner. I wear a mask when i spread & spray, i wear gloves, sunblock,earphones and straw wide brim hats. I also get a lot of exposure protection from the cab.

I did not think u was nagg'n, just concerned for a fello tbn'r! A cab will be part of the next tractor purchase someday....

Well then, I will nag. I know how independent my neighbors in Northern Idaho can be, but as lawn king said there are other ways to protect yourself (and your wife) other than a cab. Continue as you are, and you may not be around for "the next tractor purchase someday....." Good luck and Regards, Mike

When I spray, I wear a disposable Tyvek suit with hood, Tyvek boots over my shoes, chemical gloves and a mask in addition to my normal earplugs and safety glasses. The Tyvek stuff is cheap spill protection and since I use blue colorant, I can see where on the ground and on me where the chemicals landed.

After I clean-out the sprayer, the work clothes go in the washer and I head for the shower.
