Sprayer 12 volt sprayer

[RollTideRam]

I have been looking at either a 16 or 26 gallon sprayer. It would be nice for Roundup. What else do you use them for? I can't think of anything else. JC

If you have broadleaf weeds like I do, one would be nice to spray the lawn with 2,4-D. The 2 gallon handpump thing is getting tiresome for me. I have borrowed one to spray roundup by the dry stacked rock wall at our church cemetary.

I use mine for spraying weed killer along the sides of my roads. I have build several nozzle configurations allowing one side of the road, under the ranger, both sides of the road, 10' wide including under. I am goin to replace the tank I have on mine for a different style of tank. I am going with a round tank to make the sprayer more effecient on hiolls.

I used mine more for insecticide than I did for Round-Up.

I used my 25 gallon sprayer to haul water up to the far corner of our property where my wife decided to plant flowers and such. The sprayer made it real easy to water all the plants in the early stages of their life. It sure beat the old method of sloshing up the hill with 5 gallon buckets of water in the FEL.

I had not even thought about insecticide, I could really work on the fire ants that way. JC

You guys prefer the 55 gallon sprayers or something smaller?

I'm about ready to pull the trigger on one of these.

For all of the uses listed above and on the rare occasion when it is really dry around here and I want to burn some brush, I just fill it with plain water and keep it close in case the fire starts to spread somewhere I don't want it to go, then I use it as a fire extinguisher.

The 12 volt rig I used with both a wand and an 8' boom sprayer actually belonged to my brother and was a 55 gallon rig. I don't remember who made it for them, but it was labelled "Kawasaki" and he bought it at the same time he bought the Kawasaki Mule. Of course it had the common ShurFlo pump. It was a fine rig to tow behind his Mule or my Kubota. Of course maximum pressure was 60 psi. Then I had a 25 gallon rig on wheels with a 3 hp Briggs & Stratton engine and a Hypro 6 roller pump with just a long hose and wand. It could go up to 300 psi, although about 100 psi usually was all I needed. Naturally I could spray higher in the trees with it. It was the same pump you'd use with the tractor PTO.

I put my sprayer in the FEL bucket and then hook it up to the tractor battery. Use two or three bungee cords to keep it from shifting and then go to work on the multiflura rose. I have enough hose that I can operate the wand from the tractor seat. This year I am going to put it in the bed of the Mule and see how that works.
