Hope someone out there can help me with these questions.
I need a new spray system for my vineyard.
I'm currently running a 15 gal tank with a 12 volt electric motor, but the coverage with this system is not adequate and the electric pump is not consistent with it's pressure output.
Here are my questions:
Does the BX2200 have enough horsepower to drive a PTO pump. I'm being told this particular pump (Hypro )can be set to either
540 or 1000 RPM.
What is the top RPM this tractor can be run at safely ? I would think it wouldn't take much HP to turn that pump.
Is the 3 point on this model typically a Cat 1 ?
How much weight can I safely carry on the 3 point ? This is 30 gallon tank, so roughly 250 lbs of solution + the weight of the tank and carrier, which I can't believe would be more than 100 lbs.
If it's capable of carrying this weight, would I need a counter weight on the front if I take the loader off ?
Thanks to anyone and everyone who can help.
