Sprayer question

[remington270]

I am in the market for an herbicide sprayer with the following things:
1. Pull type, i.e. trailer
2. 100 gallon
3. 12v power
4. Boomless.
5. Under (or close to) a grand.
I am having a real hard time finding one locating one. Anybody know of any manufacturers? Seems like a pretty common sprayer.

Northern Tool has them in their current catalog.....Portable Generators, Pressure Washers, Power Tools, Welders | Northern Tool + Equipment you can also click on their store locator button upper left corner of page and find a store close to you...

I've checked there. I don't see sprayers that meet my requirements there

Try here: PWMall-5301052-Skid Sprayer, 110 Gallon, 7.8 GPM, 250 PSI, 5.5 HP (SK-110-8R)

Closer! But not a 12v, and not on a trailer, though it looks like that is an add-on option. I still can't find one after looking for a while.

 

[Don87]

You could buy a 100 gallon tank, put it in a trailer, then just add the pump and hoses yourself. Would save you a ton of money, and it's not hard to do at all. Especially since you are going boomless.

 

[remington270]

That may be a good plan, but I'm really not all that handy!

Don't need to be all that handy for a sprayer, all you are doing is putting a hose into a plastic tank, hooking up 2 wires for the pump, hooking another hose to the spray nozzle, slide it into a small trailer, and fill with herbicide.

Here is another I found, but it's over 2 grand: 12 Volt Professional Series Skid Sprayer

Try here: Rozell Sprayer Manufacturing - Tyler, Texas

I suggest you avoid the 12 volt pump. I have a 3.5 hp gas, and it takes many hours to do my 4 acres with it.

Is the 12v just too weak?

 

[Gary Fowler]

I have a 15 gallon 12v pump and I am thinking that the reason they dont put them in anything larger than 25 gallon is durability. I dont think they will last long in constant use. I think they are made mostly for spot spraying. If I were needing a large capacity application, I would look for one of the 275 gallon tote tanks that you can get for free from some manufacturers who use the product in them and cant dispose of them. I got one that was washed clean simply for pickup (they even loaded it for me) Anyway, the tank can be free just for calling around and then add either a gasoline chemical pump or a PTO driven one if you have a tractor. If on a tractor, you could make a simple 3 PH frame and mount it. You should be able to get all you need at TSC, Farm Co-op, etc.
If you must have a 12v pump then buy a couple of spare pumps when you purchase it.

Yes.

I am sure there are people who do it, but I would not recommend a 12 volt sprayer for more than an acre.

Good to know. Once I get one, I'm gonna wear that puppy out!

The specs you are wanting are unrealistic.

I agree, I give up....good luck to him

How so? It would be like any other sprayer on the market, just a larger than average holding tank of 100 gallons.

 

[GinNB]

Specs are fine, but the expectations for price and possibly performance from the rinkydink pump are unrealistic. I'm a farmer and spray for a living. I've got a hundred gallon trailed ATV sprayer. There is a higher spec electric pump but its about $350 just for the pump. Throw in a 100gal tank and a trailer capable of hauling it without falling apart after a hundred rough or soft acres?

 

[remington270]

Well you may be right on price, but I have been unable to find these sprayers around the net for any price.
