Has anyone built or converted a little 15 gal ATV sprayer to hook onto their tractor via 3 point or other. I have 5 acres and a small spayer I would like to use on my tractor. Just looking for some ideas.

Haven't done it yet but that is one of my future project plans. I plan to go a little larger if I can find a good 30 gal tank to start with. It will be very easy to build a 3pt frame to carry it on. Looking for a PTO pump at a reasonable price rather than the electric that ATV sprayers use.

I thought about doing the same thing but I went with the 25 gallon unit from BXpanded. Not too much $ and its a really good design. I did not think my finished product would be comparable in design or quality.

This is what I did, put the 15 gal on a little cart to "cart it around" and put a piece of angle iron under the card that just fits a 2 inch reciever I had in my hombuilt ballast barrel. I hooked to the aux. wires for aux rear lights that is under the fender for power. Works well.

sounds like a carry-all would convert it.. or would be able to be made up easilly with some angle iron, torch and welder.

Here is what I was thinking of doing....I was thinking of using my TC-29 D and putting the 15 gallon sprayer in my FEL bucket..just setting it in there...then lift the hood and connect the jumpers to the tractor battery and then drive around an spray...I just wonder how long the hose is, I wonder if it would reach back far enough to the tractor seat..probably 6 or 7 feet...Any thoughts about my idea ? and does anyone know how long the TSC or HF 15 gallon sprayer hoses are ?
I thought about doing the same thing as you with putting it in the bucket. I just didnt feel like having chemicals spray back as I was driving around all over my
Tractor. I also feel like having it on the back would make it very easy to see. Im thinking I will just build a simple carry all. and mount it on the three point. I like having it on the three point because I can get the spray nozzles as close to the ground as I want.

I just use some bungess and kind of strap it to the 3 points arms. To be honest its a crappy setup, but its easy. The only real problem is that some times it gets a little twisted, so it won't pick up the last half gallon or so of material.

I don't see how chemicals would spray back....because you or I would be holding the hose and sprayer in our hand and why would it matter if the tank was in the front in the bucket or in the back on the 3 pt. ? the tank is sealed ..it has a cap...Am I missing something...?

I'm going to give it a try this weekend ..My son has one and i am going to borrow it and see how it works in the bucket....I need spot spraying for an insidious weed...." Privet hedge.." just awful stuff...I just need to be able to go from tree to tree across the pasture quickly and give a spray and move on ..the privet grows under trees and along fence lines..so the spray wand works great for my application...

Do you have an ATV? I have my 25 gallon tank on the back of my ATV and will be buying or making a boom to spray. I would think - but could be wrong - that it would be cheaper to operate the ATV than the tractor. Additionally, it would hold down the hours on the tractor. My ,02.

Bob,
Good luck. I am battling privet on my farm -- it's a true abomination.
I have found that spraying privet 8' or taller with 41% glyphosate or Crossbow isn't very effective. I have been cutting the taller privet with either my brush-cutter (for bushes up to 2" diameter or so at the base) and my chainsaw for the the larger bushes. I then spray 41% glyphosate diluted 50-50 with diesel fuel on the freshly cut stumps.

OK - Steve, I spent the last 2 days bush hogging it down so this Sat I will go out and spray the stumps..so I will add 50% diesel...thanks for the timp..and yes it is an abomination and insidious and it will soon take over Georgia and pass Cudzoo as the killer weed...

Bob,
I have been spraying the cut stumps immediately after cutting with great success. I remember reading an article in Forest Landowner Magazine about spraying the cut stumps after a delay. If memory serves, spraying after a delay wasn't very effective. Unfortunately, I don't remember what sort of delay was involved.
If you have any leaves left after your bush hogging, you could do a foliar spray with the 41% glyphosate per the label, 2.67 ounces per gallon of water IIRC. If not, you could wait for the regrowth in the spring and then conduct a foliar spray.

I found that Coco-Cola ship concentrate around in about 18 gal containers if you around at the right time you get them for a couple of $.
I tie it to the bush hog...added a little electric pump from ebay....A spray wand from an old hand held garden sprayer... So now I can clean up around the fence line and spray along the actual fence at the same time.
Comes in very handy for cutting the grass in between my acres of vines while spraying under the vines.
I got a pump that goes to 80 psi..produces such a good fine mist I now use less than half the round up I used to do with a 30psi pump
A spray boom could be added to the back of the bush hog easily if you wanted one.
A very cheap effective sprayer
