I used trailer receptacle and wired it three ways
1.) Always hot
2.) Ignition key on hot
3.) Igition key on and separate switch ON and OFF (used for sprayer).

I also used a circuit breaker bolted on a bulkhead close to the battery instead of fuse.

This online outfit has almost everything you need to install an outlet or other 12v accessories. I've got two of the power plugs on my motorcycle and they are of good or better quality than some of the name brands I've looked at.

They are on Amazon too, but the shipping is cheaper if you go direct.

I found the following 12v seller through Ebay........ 12 volt DC Accessories . They have some unusual 12v accessories. I went with their small housed 12v outlet as I was having a hard time locating a flush mount on my narrow vineyard tractor.

Bigtiiller, did you buy the plug? I also have a 2720 and am getting ready to do some spraying with a three point hitch mounted electric sprayer. It looks like it has 20' of chord with alligator clips for connecting to the battery. Suggestions?

No I didn't. I have a cozy cab on mine so I ran a switched hot wire out the back from the electric panel.

Thanks Bigtiller, I read up on it given the info on their site as well as Amazon. Figured for $10 low risk. So it bought it.

You made me go look AGAIN. Now you have me interested enough to Google Marinco. They do offer a plug that locks into the receptacle. I am like your parts dealers, never heard of such a thing. There is a limited number of places near me to buy one, but Amazon has them for $10.

Got the Marinco Plug end, wired it up on the sprayer, works like a champ. (doesn't fall out)

Good deal.
Now if there were only an on-off switch in the line, close to the grab bar, so you didn't have to reach to the floor.

cig lighter, different trailer connectors (standard 4 up to what is 7 or 11pin), along with regular house hold 110v and 220v connectors.

on the 30 gallon sprayer little trailer. i either pull with 6v 1950ish allis chalmers ca tractor or with a truck or like. the 12v battery i use for both the pond raft and sprayer, ends up getting drained when needed, so have rigged up regular 110v plug female connection to sprayer wires, then another short wire with alligator clips for battery, to male 110v plug. i can either plug the 2 wires together and connect to 12v battery right on spray rig. or i can run an extension cord between the 2 wires. so i can run extension cord through back of truck, through rear window, through passenger side window and wrapped around mirror. and then up under the hood to battery on vehicle.

i would like to say i wanted to use regular 4pin trailer wiring harness or cigerette lighter connections. but then i would have to deal with an extension cord that was specially made with ends, i have lots of regular 110v extension cords. and no real need to worry about what is around when it comes time to hookup sprayer to what ever vehicle and/or tractor this way.

if i need to create a small conversion plug for something else, simple enough to work with above doing. and it lets me run a 12v flashlight or something further away from vehicle or tractor or what ever. if i use a 110v male plug to what ever connection type i needed for a given device say 12v cig lighter. or placing a solar panel trickle charger some place that actually gets sun, or what ever.


the only issue with above, is someone could possibly plug an extension cord into an actual 110v socket in house or garage, and then plug in alligator clips, and battery go BOOM! but *shrugs*
