6 Volt Gator, 12 volt TSC spray pump ?

[bcarwell]

Hi folks, I got a TSC 25 gallon sprayer on sale and didn't realize it has a 12 VDC pump and my Gator electrical system is 6 VDC. Any suggestions how to make my sprayer pump work off the Gator system ? Or any suggestions on a replacement 6 VDC pump- model and source ? Tnx.

I thought the gator's with the exception of the toy ones were all 12volt ... one just keeps finding out.

You could pick up a 6 volt golf cart battery and wire it in series with the existing battery to power the pump. You'd need to charge it with a battery charger when it runs low.

I thought so also? Curious what model and how old this Gator is.

Well the sprayer is 12volt so he could just carry a 12 volt battery in the bed of the gator and recharge that when needed.

This is the only 6 volt Gator I have ever seen. John Deere Utility Tractor 6 Volt by Peg Perego

Convert the Gator to 12v.

Buy a 2nd pump and run them in series at 6v apiece.

Buy a 6v pump.

Buy an up-converter to produce 12v from 6v.

Buy a new Gator.

6v battery is best idea. Charge it very few years.

You'd have to run them in parallel.

That would work, but the extra 6v battery would give you more run time between charges.

You wanna re-think that statement?
