Electric Sprayer Weekend Project

[cubowner]

Well this weekend I decided to purchase a 15 gallon electric sprayer. Only one issue, I had no way to move it around. So I decided to build a 3 point hitch sprayer rack. I used some left over angle iron and welded it up and built a mini carryall for the sprayer. I hope to extend the hose to 25 - 30 feet currently 15 feet. and add a hose rack.

Looks good.

Any plans for a boom?

I did a similar project although my tank was a 25 gallon . Had a 3 point carry-all that I never used anyway , so just built a skid onto that .

You mention adding hose , Been there , Done that . After a season of coiling hose back up over and over , Now have a retractable 28' hose reel . Plumbed a Tee connector into line from pump with one branch going to hose reel and other branch goes to a shut-off that I can open for a Broadcast nozzle . Pump runs off my headlight switch , ( been to lazy to wire it up by itself so far ) . So simply open the shut-off valve for broadcast nozzle , line up were I need to spray , hit the head lights and drive .

Hose reel is great though , No more dragging hose back and forth .

Yes I do plan on adding a boom. Just wanted to get the hose situation set first then I was going to build off of the hose rack

Well I started the second phase of my sprayer project. I added a 30 hose with reel. Next I'm going to work on the boom assembly.
