Sprayer for Indy

Booms are much better than the big fan-spray jets - many chemicals available here in the mid-west are not legal or at least drift _way_ too much with the big cluster jets.

You need the tougher pump for Roundup naturally, mine is not, but it will rust out if I do much RU. Mine is the smallest pto pump, 6 roller or maybe even a 4?

For what you want to do, get a break-away boom. My Demco has a real good design, 2 springs hold the booms in, can pivot either direction. Work hard on this, you _will_ use it. :)

I also got a wand with it, really handy.

Really like it, you will be happy with a 3pt for your jobs. Very flexable, small tracks. I could try to get some picks, but it's packed away for winter....

I've managed to get a few sales brochures from a number of companies that market sprayers. I'm staying away from the cluster nozzles too.

I'm going to set this up with solenoid valves in such a way as to be able to use any or all the 3 sections independantly. I have a BIG roller pump off of dads old sprayer. It would handle 48' of boom with RoundUp in the tank.

This sprayer will be used to spray "weedy" spots in several hayfields, as well as spot spraying several problem spots in my soybeans. In all likelyhood, it won't see 200 gallons run through it all season.

Looks like there's been a couple rules enacted on this site. I got into it with someone on Tractor Talk today, that might have provoked that happening. This is a great informational site, but it's headed towards being a teen-age chat room if these rules aren't enforced. Let's hope so. I enjoy your responses. It's very obvious that your information comes from years of "hands on" experience.

Keep on posting, friend! Thanks. John

Please excuse my ignorance, but would you tell me the process to get into Tractor Talk? I had it once but lost it somewhere along the line.

Thanks,

Stan

If that is what you are looking for, there should be a little drop down list of the different places whenever you are viewing the list of all the messages here. It will be in the upper right corner of the message list page. Click on the little box, select a forum title, and then click the ok button.

If you mean a totally different web site all together, I'm not sure which one you mean? There are some aimed at compact tractors, modern farming issues & tractors, even a very good modern combine web site.....

Thanks for the reply. I have had this Implement Alley site saved as a Favorite Place on AOL. Just for the heck of it, I just logged on to www.YtMag.com and found Tractor Talk.

Again, thanks for the reply and the help.
