Me and the boys rebuilt a 50 gallon sprayer and have successfully used it over this summer - all good.
However....
50 gallons don't go very far and so the re-fill trips are somewhat frequent for 12ish acres. Not extreme, but more than I'd like.
Thinking about buying a larger tank sprayer or re-working this sprayer frame to take a larger tank. The boom is 20 ft - which is perfect for our smaller irregular shaped fields. What I need is more time out in the field spraying (say after work where daylight and time is limited) and less time coming in for a re-fill.
What size tank do you recommend for a 3 pt sprayer? Using the JD 5055d with cat II rear lift, the MF50 is cat I. I prefer 3 pt just because it's easier to get around vs pull type.
Any advice/recommendations are much appreciated.
Thanks!
Bill
