Did a test run with the 60 gallon sprayer I'm building. First filled it half full and pulled it around on the roughest area it will be used on. No problem, no surges from water sloshing around, etc. Then filled it the rest of the way and repeated the route. Still no problem. That 18.5 hp garden tractor handled it OK. We have a 24 hp I could put on it, but it's hydrostatic, and this 18.5 is gearbox, so it's easier to hold a constant speed while spraying with the 18.5.
Next is to fabricate a 10' folding boom and a platform in front of the tank to mount the pump. My wife wondered if I could make it so you could turn each half of the boom on and off individually, so I'll have to fabricate a manifold with a couple of shut off valves. The pump itself will have a pressure shutoff so no return line will be needed.
