3 pt. tractor sprayer?

Postby ousoonerfan22 » Wed Apr 25, 2012 4:44 pm

The pasture I lease has a hill with a lot of persimmon saplings and blackberries and I know I can't pull a sprayer through that brush with out tearing it up so I'm thinking about buying a 100 gallon sprayer to go on the back of my ford 800.
Anybody used a 3 pt sprayer and had good luck with it?
Stillwater Milling wants $1200 for the 100 gallon sprayer with the brass tip or $1300 with a short assembly with two plastic tips that is supposed to have better coverage.

with what your going tobe spraying make sure you get a sprayer with a 25ft hose an nozzle so you spot spray.itll be alot easier an less time consuming.

Im looking into building me one right now. Going to have a sprayer end on each rear corner... maybe one in the middle depending on what kind of width I can get out of each tip. Put them all on seperate switches. I am getting tired of shredding senderos and roads where the big truck cant get.

I worked for a guy who had several spray rigs. They are handy.

50 gal may be all you want on a small tractor. I use a 200 gal on a 7610 Ford and it has to have weight on the front esp for hills.Sprayers get heavy quick at 8 lbs/gal.

I have a 200 gal wylie sprayer . 3 point boomless . Sometimes I'd rather have the boom . I had to put a gps in my tractor to spray evenly . Make sure you look at the pump and internal parts of the pump . Cheaper isn't alway better .
