I have a 35' folding boom sprayer I built several years ago for spraying cotton with a 200 or so gallon tank on it which is now cut down to 26'. I need to re-work this with tips, hoses, etc. but curious as to which tips I would benefit most from.
It currently has 17 or 18 tips on it spaced on 20" centers. I will be broadcast spraying weeds, herbicide in pastures, etc. One pasture butts up next to a large plant nursery where minimal drift is required due to chance of killing millions of dollars in plants. I plan to spray Weedmaster on this one due to Yellow Nutsedge.
Anybody have suggestions on tips with minimal drift?
And how should I select my tip? Calculate my mph, gallons per minute, etc then select the tip?
I also need to purchase a new PTO roller pump. The son of the guy renting one of my pastures must have walked off with mine. After I calculate my flow I suppose I can purchase my pump based on how much flow I require with the amount of tips and pressure.
