I am in the market(again) for a larger boom sprayer to replace the one my husband made 25 years ago. It is a 25 gallon tank that he affixed to a a carry-all(3 pt hitch for a tractor) and rigged up a 5 foot wide boom, with a shut-off so you can spray half-wide. It is connected to an off-on switch to be used from the drivers seat and is powered by the plug-in on the back of the tractor. Ideally the width would be 10 feet, with folding boom and adjustable width of spray pattern that could be adjusted from the drivers seat(currently have to stop the tractor, manually turn a valve, then do the same when you want a different spray pattern). Have seen a discussion of a pto powered sprayer, can someone explain that, and should I be considering getting a pto powered spray system? Thanx. I did not mention that I am only spraying gravel drive/farm roads and glyphosate. Each time I usually spray 2 tanks, one if I am lucky. The tank is rinsed out well after each use and clean water flushed through the nozzles.
