x300 want to build a sprayer

higgledy · Mar 23, 2014

I own an x300 with the rear bagger attachment. I would like to get a boom sprayer but don't have the room to store a sprayer and it's cart. Has anyone seen a sprayer that mounts to the bagger's mounting frame? I know it is not a true three-point hitch, but it could support a 15 gallon tank.

Here is a picture of the mounting bracket:

Like this EZTrack sprayer but for the x300:

That bracket should be heavy enough for a spray rig. A 15 gallon full of water shouldn't weigh 150 to 175 pounds , and it wouldn't be that hard to build something that would work. I think john deere sells brackets and mounting kits for the rear mounts, check with your local jd dealer and they might have something that you could adapt to a sprayer.

Did you check out the rear-mounted sprayer that JD makes for the X300 and X500? I just bought one for my X500. It has a very nice bracket which hooks right to the back plate on the tractor. Once the bracket is attached installation only takes 2-minutes. I got mine mounted up last weekend and should be giving it a workout in another week or so.
