I am going to build a spray boom for our Kubota RTV500 this fall/winter. We already have a 25 gallon spot sprayer that we use to spray fence rows, but I think that a boom would be really useful for spaying our pastures and hay fields. The biggest hay field we have is 40 acres, I know it would take a while to spay it with the UTV but I would rather do it myself than depend on someone else to do it for me.
My plan is to build something in the 15' range with a 7' main boom and 2 4' fold out wings, I would also be going to a 40 gallon tank. My questions are can I build the boom out of PVC? Will a 12v diaphragm pump produce the pressure and volume I need to spray 5-10 gallons per acre?
I probably will have more questions as I get into this project but this will get me started.
Thanks
