spray outfit with booms

[accordionman]

HELLO TO ALL,
has anybody made their own spray outfit with booms?
if so what size pump, engine, and tank did you use?
did you make it from plans, or just put something together?
comments appreciated.

I built my own a couple of years ago.Used a plastic 30 gal soap tank that I got from the local car wash,an rv pump,3/4 pvc pipe and fittings,rubber hose,and some spray nozzles "borrowed" from work,.I sprayed with a 10' sect.out both sides,then came to the conclusion that i could get by with shorter booms and raise the 3pt higher.Shorter booms allow me to just drive the tractor without worry about catching on something.Happy buiding.
