3pt sprayer - how to power?

[donn12]

If my B2920 has a 12v power jack I cant find it! There is one advantage of the BX24 over a B!
I would rather not run the cable to the battery. With the sprayer on the 3pt hitch and the battery in the front that is a long cable.
My tractor has a rear work light...is there any other easy way to hook this up?

Yeah .... wire in a 12v accessory outlet to the worklight power feed and mount it back on the rear sheetmetal ..... that's what I did on my B2910 ....

That is what I did with my 2 front and one rear worklights (red switches) and switched aux power that I use for my sprayer (green switch).

If you are going to do a whole lot of spraying, ditch the electric pump and replumb for a 4 or 7 roller pump with a regulator valve. Have one on a 60 gallon 3pt spraker and can use 12ft boom and gun no problem.

Agreed that pto pump is much better (neightbor has one) but electric is cheaper and easier for my occasional use.

thanks for the feedback - I unplugged the light and away I went - took no time at all. Eventually I will put a 12v plug on the machine. It will only be occasional use so 12 v should be fine. Thanks again

I just added a jumper wire and connector to the rear light. Plug the sprayer into that jumper connector and used the dash light switch to run the pump.

Let the light come on at the same time.

I ditched the roller pump for less expensive (both maintenance and longevity) 12 v pump. Then again, I don't do large fields, just lawns and brush maintenance.

I have an electric front mount and a rear 3 point pto sprayer, both work well. The electric is a flojet the pto is a hypro.
