Sprayer ATV Sprayer on 3PTH

[Toolguy]

Here are some pics of my new sprayer. I found a P&K MFG unit at a local Farm, Ranch and Home store, very similiar to TSC. It is a 25 gal. "ATV" electric pump model with a spray width of 120". It has 3 nozzles that spray 40" each. The boom folds for storage or if you hit something while spraying. I made a mounting bracket out of 2" square tubing and some angle iron and mounted it to the 2" receiver hitch I made for the 3PTH. The pump is powered from a 2 wire connector I installed under the fender of my B3030. I just zip tie the switch to the hand rail when I use the sprayer. It all comes off easily and is light and easy to move around. I have used it to put weed killer on my 1.5 acre lawn. At 3mph it sprays at a rate of .5 gallon per 1000 square feet. I used my GPS to figure out the speed I needed to travel which is 1800 RPM in Medium range and full HST pedal. So far I am very pleased with this setup. Since I have a 60" MMM, the 10 ft width of the spray pattern is easy keep straight by following in the tracks from mowing and skipping every other pass.

looks like a great set up toolguy. I bought one of those tanks awhile back and use it on the atv.

Thanks, I previously had a Fimco 15 gallon trailer-type sprayer with two 40" nozzles. It worked good but was too small for my lawn. Plus, I wanted something that would be easier to keep the spray swaths parallel. I looked at Fimcos at TSC and was trying to decide how I could make one of them work for me. I went to the Farm Ranch and Home store one day to see what they had and the P&K unit ended up being perfect for my needs. A couple of hours with the welder and the cutoff saw and I was all set.
