Best Way to Provide DC to Sprayer?

[RjCorazza]

Once you decide where to get power from, consider a wireless switch. Fimco makes a plug and play wireless switch with SAE connectors.
I run my sprayer from the bucket, so it's only a few feet from the battery... The wireless switch makes it a compact install.

I would wire some Anderson Power Pole connectors on a relay to the back of the tractor. That way it's switched and not hot all the time. Change sprayer ends or make adapter

This is basically what I did for the front & rear of our NH... Wired up some Anderson Powerpole SB50 connectors using the Trailer Vision mounts / housings. The power is controlled by a dash mounted switch that controls a relay that sends fused power to the Powerpole connectors. I made a couple of different harnesses, Powerpole to implement connector, which allows me to run different equipment on either the front or rear of the tractor.

The switch is nice to have as it allows remote activation when using things like the boom sprayer.

My tractor battery is in front of the radiator, behind the grill. instead of messing with that, i put a Packard connector on the battery terminal of starter solenoid w/ring terminal and ran ground to frame, then put a Packard connector on the sprayer motor wiring too w/inline 10a blade fuse.

I tow a sprayer and spreader with a linear actuator behind a ZTR. Two switches wired to a 4-wire trailer connector, ground, pump, open and close hopper.

I just unplugged a rear light and made a small jumper wire to hook the sprayer to, then just use the light switch to turn the sprayer on and off.

Was going to post that. PowerPoles for dry, Deutsch connectors if you need sealed for possibly wet areas. Metripack/Weatherpack would be the 2nd choice for a sealed connector.

Been using Deutsch connectors for a while, but Big Clive just did a review of them & some Ali Express kits

I never thought about putting the sprayer in the bucket. I guess there is no reason not to.

The battery is behind the grille.

Here's a wiring harness that JD offers to operate their round baler monitors. When I attached my rd baler monitor to my Kubota M7040 I used that type harness attached directly to tractor battery. Part # is AFH210360

FEL? Regardless of what you're spraying, I'd want it behind me not in front of me.

I have "flat two" connectors on the tractors for powering 12V stuff. They are two wire versions of the flat 4-wire trailer light connectors. With these ends on the tractors and the equipment that plugs into them, correct polarity is automatic.
