I am looking for ideas on how to mark where I have sprayed herbicide with my 4-wheeler. I spray a total of about 12 acres and I have a 26 gallon boomless sprayer from Northern Tool. I really like this sprayer. I have had it for a few years and it works wonderfully. It is really nice not having the boom and it still puts out a 14 foot wide path. The only thing I haven't been able to figure out since I've bought it is how to mark where I have sprayed. I have had to resort to using step-in posts. 3 post in a line along my 850 ft long field works great but it is very slow. I have to get off the 4-wheeler at every post and move them over. It is a pretty accurate method, just slow. Things I have tried include using an app on my phone that I use when I use the broadcast sprayer on my tractor. It works great for the tractor and the larger swath of the broadcast spreader but I didn't like it for the 4-wheeler. Yesterday I tried using a popular spray indicator marking dye which didn't work. I would of had to of put so much in to make it visible on the field it would no longer be cost effective. I have also done a little research on foam marking kits, which I believe would probably be the best thing, but without having a boom there is nothing to attach it to. I thought about making a "boom" out of a 2x2 or something to use a foam kit but before I do that I would like to see what everyone else uses and/or ideas you may have. Thanks in advance!
