Finally got around to a much needed project and a fun one. Repurposed a old disc set that the attaching points were broke off. I used the disc to make a finisher to break up large clumps in my field.
I then took the upper frame. I made a new front attachment frame to fit my category 2 QH out of some heavy angle I cut, bent , and welded. I have a 5.5 gpm pump on the way. 11 nozzles at 15” spacing. 2 30 gallon tanks. I made folding boom arms. They are spring open with simple bungees and will fold back if hit. In total the width is 12’4”. It sprays around 16-18’ wide depending on pressure.
Spraying used to be a dreaded task and many many fill ups for 15 acres with a atv setup. Now I can sit in my cab away from spray and much wider spray plus capacity. More pictures to come soon. Almost done with it. Just got the tanks tonight. Have to plumb in the feed lines to the filter and pump.
At the price they want for these things now. A days worth of some fab work and engineering was well worth it. Folds up narrow for storage or transport.
