Sprayers

Does anyone have any experience with 50 or 65 gallon 3-point hitch sprayers? I"m looking at Leinbach"s web site. Does anyone own one? What I need is a 3-pt sprayer with 200 feet of hose to spray sweet corn.

I have the very rig you describe. 55 gal 3 point with two hundred feet of hose. Bought a Agmier
Contenital Belton from a local dealer . Bought 200 feet of hose and a Coxreel hand crank reel ordered from the internet.Use mine for sweet corn and to spray roundup along my fence line.Works fine.

What are you guys spraying on the sweet corn, and why?
I have a lot of weeds in my sweet corn, usually have about 900 plants, and thats a lot of hand weeding.

I think it probably is a fungiside that would be put on about time ear starts and be too tall to drive thru the reason for that much hose to be able to walk thru the patch. Weeds would not need hose, just drive thru.

The biggest problem I have is cornbore. I spray Sevin from the time silk starts to show till two weeks before picking. Weeding is done with my 1948 JD M and later with a 1957 Simplicity walk behind. I have 4 Ac of sweet corn planted to yeald every two weeks. There are 2 additional Ac of veggies, 2 Ac wine grapes and 500 Currant bushies. Additionaly, there are 30 fruit trees. That's why I need a sprayer Ed

which pest are you spraying for. The is a vineyard here in Australia which does not spray but uses the good critters to keep the bad under control,

Which Simplicity model do you have? I have 1953 model D walk behind. A family friend bought it new in '53 and my Dad bought it from him in '56. I got it from Daddy and still use it. I have a breaking plow, furrow opener, cultivator, 30 inch sickle mower and snow plow for it. I thought the blade was for dirt until I got an owners manual found out different.

I built my own, using a plastic 55 gal barrel mounted on legs, on top of a ford- furgeson, 3 pt rear cultivator frame. Removed all the shanks, and braced the frame to keep it square. used foam pipe insulation to cousion the barrel, from wearing a hole in it, on the angle iron support rails. plumbed it from a pto pump, to a 1/2 " pipe, boom, mounted at the rear of the frame, with drop nozzles, spaced for 30" rows. I decided I wanted to spray my orchard trees with it this winter, and added a shut off valve to the boom hose, and teed off of it above the valve, and added 25' of 1/2" hose, and a good spray wand, and sprayed the trees, from the tractor seat. I also added 4 telescoping pipe legs, that I can drop, to support it when I take it off. It sure makes it nicer when it comes time to mount it again.
