I built a sprayer like that from a 14 gallon ATV sprayer with a 12V diaphram pump, 4 spray nozzels from the field sprayer aisle of Farm & Fleet, 25 ft of hose, couple elbows, a tee, couple shut off valves, even got strainers for the nozzels. Figuring backwards I had to go 1.15 mph to cover the 80 inch swath, 1800 rpm in 1st gear with my gear drive Cub Cadet. Wired the cord up direct to the battery, wired an on/off switch into the wire, even put a pressure guage in the line right before the spray boom. Sprayed the yard 10-12 years with that sprayer. I bought a crabgrass herbacide, wettable powder, toss the whole plastic bag in the sprayer tank, bag, powder, it all dissolves and I needed a bigger pump, so bought a HyPro roller pump and 55-60 gallon tank. Took a while to get the pressure and nozzel flow correct, but sprayed 3-4 times with it too. Didn't have great success with that version. SON was out with a $15,000 professional lawn care spreader/sprayer combination. He put down 250# of fertilizer and 60 gallon of 2-4D over my heavily forested 2+ acres in about 2 hours. The sprayer has the CUTEST little foam marker system, poops out a marshmellow sized piece of foam about every 10 feet, either end of the boom. I considered GPS and auto-steer for my Cub Cadet when I sprayed with it years ago. We had lots of crushed granite landscape rock with different kinds of evergreen bushes all around our house. The leaves and dust had accumulated for 20+ years and I'd have to spray Roundup 2-3 times a year and around all the trees/bushes in the yard. Have some bushes that still have bare ground around them.
Yep, close to 30 years ago I switched to spraying for weed control.
