3pt Sprayer

[smstonypoint]

Continental Belton makes really good 3 point sprayers. But I don't know what the shipping would be to Illinios.

I purchased one of their 55-gallon boomless sprayers (Ag-Meier Industries 3-Point Hitch Sprayers) with a Hypro roller pump through my local Kubota dealer back in May. I also looked at a 55-gallon boomless sprayer from Ag-Spray (https://www.agspray.com/cart.php#!c=224). The Ag-Meier has a lighter frame than the Ag-Spray by about 80 pounds or so. I would have gone with the Ag Spray if I was going to be using the sprayer with my utility tractor, but I bought the sprayer to use with my small Kubota. Although I have 220 lbs. of front weights, I was worried about the extra weight of the Ag Spray unit when topped off.

I have been pleased with the performance of the Ag-Meier unit to date.

Another simple way is putting a garbage bag over each nozzle to catch the output. Then measure it. Continue calculations as above.

If the pump is PTO driven what do you need wires for?

The ones i looked at all had electric pump but people complained about cables not reaching the battery and the flow being severely less than advertised like 35psi vs advertised 80psi..



thanks for replies i shall check out a few of these links here

35 psi should be more than enough pressure for spraying. If you have some time to spend here's some links to teejet. Probably the most used sprayer tip. They have a very helpful website and its full of information. TeeJet - Spray Nozzles

If you're spraying hay fields 35 PSI is plenty.

I built mine. I used a 125gal tank, a 7gpm electric pump, and a 14ft boom kit. Pump and boom kit came from Northern tools. Pump is rated for 60psi at 7gpm. This gives me 40psi to the nozzles and the rest is returned to the tank for agitation. Also with the boom kit it came with a spot sprayer wand. Mounted all on a homemade carryall and carry it on my tractor. Added a anderson connector (50amp) on the back of the tractor and a remote switch to control all. So far has worked great.
