[QUOTE="1982vett, post: 1341800, member: 7795"] Is that a half inch pipe feeding it? It looks kinda old and might be pretty corroded inside. Wind has a negative effect on a spray pattern especially if the pressure to the nozzle is restricted. If your spraying with say 20 lbs of pressure but you have a partial clog in between the gauge and the nozzle you won't have 20 lbs at the nozzle. The charts say it should do about 50 ft @ 30 lbs pressure. I rebuilt mine this past year. Replaced old piping and fittings. Since I added folding booms I bought two new nozzle also. I used to calculate about a 30 ft spray pattern on one nozzle so built the booms to place the nozzles 25 ft apart. It is easily spraying a 60 ft swath with plenty of overlap. I used all 3/4 inch lines and fittings till its reduced to 1/2 inch at the nozzle. [/QUOTE]
