Boom Sprayer Build

Briar Hill Brittanys · Sep 22, 2010

A while back, I had a few questions about sprayer tips and such for a boom sprayer I was wanting to build. A couple of you'all asked for pictures. Here they are. What ya think?

Boom ready to spray

Boom collapsed

Side view showing stainer, tank mounting, hose routing, and pump hook-up

Spray pattern @ 40 PSI.
Has a 30 gallon tank, 12' boom, 8 tips on 20" spacing, 6 roller R/U ready pump, adding a spray gun in the spring. It'll plumb in where the plug is under the gauge. Worked great for killing grass on a new market garden patch a couple of weeks ago. The hardest part was the 350 trips to the farm store getting all the plumbing stuff. Mark

Good work; like the triangle support for boom arms.

Might consider a patent; someone will copy it!

Thanks for sharing your photos with us.

Good workmanship and nice design. You might want to consider turning the pressure gauge around so you can see it from tractor seat. Do the legs fold up?

Again...good design, etc. and thanks for sharing photos.

That looks good Nice work!

Thanks for the compliments. I'd like to take credit for the boom design, it was copied from another build on another site. Everything else was my figuring. The spray tip hose is 3/8", the suction line is 3/4". The tips are Hypro 80 degree standard flat fan spray. Thanks for the suggestion about folding the legs up, and turning the gauge around. Mark

Very nice looking rig. Sounds just like what I'm looking for except I'd like a bigger tank. Can I ask what you have in it ($$$) excluding the pump?

Hey BHB where are you going to plumb in your spray wand?

As best I can figure, don't add the fuel for all the trips to town, band-aids and such, a little over 300.00. Got a great buy on the tank and pump on e-bay. The 3 point frame was built for a disc hiller that I want to redo, and parts of an old worn out JD disc. Had to buy the tubing for the boom frame, strap for the tank mount, springs, nozzle clamps, hose clamps, spray tips and strainers, suction strainer, manifold parts, and various other sundries. Dave, if you look under the pressure gauge is a plug. My plan is to elbow over and down to another ball valve for a line to a spray gun. Mark
