I wanted to post these a few weeks ago but realized I never did. My Uncle gave me this JD tank and gear pump. I put it on a frame, hooked a B & S 2hp engine to it, installed an electric solenoid valve, put some old corn planter wheels on it and away I go to spray my lawn for broadleaves. The frame work can be taken off the running gear and the sprayer can be put in the bed of a pickup truck and just plug it into my 4-prong flat plug and operate the boom with my headlight switch. I have two flood nozzles on the short boom that will spray 13ft wide plus I have a spray jet nozzle that will spray up to 30ft wide then I have a hand gun plumbed in too. All of them have the banjo type couplings on them so I can disconnect and plug if not being used.
I drag a hog panel wrapped with chicken wire to help turn the leaves of the plants over to get good spray coverage plus I hope the chicken wire scars the leaves to get a better kill on the dandelions and white clover. The panel even flexes with the ground contour also as can be seen in the last picture in the swail.
