Two of my neighbors and I have gone together and built a nice spray rig. We each have about 40 acres so we will each benefit from the project. Mac had the stainless rears tank and pump. I added the 30’ demco spray boom, hoses and valves, and Jim is going to get a retractable hose line and spray wand. I also welded up the bracket for the boom. I’m particularly proud of the valve manifold. We will be able to turn on or off any one of the three ten foot sections or the hand line from the tractor at any given time. In the picture you can see incoming line and the extra valve that will be used to the hand line once those parts come in. To mount this manifold to the tractor I ordered a couple of those switchable magnets like Henro is using for his tractor guards. If they work great, if they don’t I’ll use them for something else.
