sprayer on a CK3510se Chris

[Seat time]

I am wanting to use my sprayer on my new ck3510se hc.
Sprayer pump is electric and takes 10 amps.
I was hoping to find an existing circuit at the back of the tractor that could be used.
I found an open plug at the back of the cab up by the work lights and assumed it was for a beacon.
Wires appear kind of light (small) for running a pump.
Anyone have any suggestions?

I wired in a switchbox that is attached to the dash on my 3510. I ran a wire forward and to the rear for my sprayer. I usually strap in in the bucket so I'm not looking backward all the time. Plus I can see to adjust the spray height depending on conditions.I go directly to the battery and fused the switchbox and each individual switch. If your pump is over 3 GPM I'd go directly to the battery with # 12 wire. Starve one of those pumps for current and they don't live long. Also I'd hook up a bypass system so the pump runs constantly while the switch is on. Those pump motors are sealed and constant starting & stopping of a demand switch builds up heat and they don't like that. I've sold a bunch of pumps to folks who didn't use a bypass.

So please tell me more about this bypass system.
What is it and where do I find one or the parts

It's just a pressure regulator that you plumb from the discharge side of the pump back to tank. This allows you to set the pressure and keep the pump running while you have the switch turned on. I make a manifold that has the regulator, valve that goes to the wand and a valve that goes to the boom nozzles. Find an Ag supply store that sells tanks, motors and pipe fittings. Banjo is the top name in plastic pipe fittings, valves etc. Avoid the cheap imported stuff as they are weak and don't seal well in most cases. TeeJet is another quality brand. Send me a PM with your location and maybe I can help you find a dealer for parts or answer questions you might have.
