I'm needing a bigger spray rig for pastures. I have a couple small 12 volt with 8 foot booms. These are only 30 gallon and sit in the back of my side-by-side. I'm wanting something that'll put out more volume at faster forward speed, the goal being to cover more ground/less time.
I'm leaning toward the 3-point PTO units, but also intrigued with the trailer mounted self contained units (has dedicated gasoline engine). One reason for the latter would be pulling behind a truck while sitting in the air conditioned cab. I could still pull it with my little tractor (Jubilee) in the places I don't need to take my truck. It also keeps a tractor freed up for other things.
This is primarily for herbicide/pesticide use and thinking 16' boom or greater, maybe 100-150 gallon capacity? Two wheel drive Ford 6610 (about 72hp) does have an FEL if that helps with the 3-point type.
What does the CT brain-trust say about the advantages/disadvantages of different designs, types, sizes, and brands?
