Too bad I didn't have some pictures of my first homemade sprayer when I first arrived here in 1986 which would bring a LOL. Worked ok for all those black ant mounds and small trees but was pretty crude! No pump, just an air tank to pressurize a fluid tank trailer unit. Nowadays those quad 4 wheeler rack mound tank 12v setups are pretty nice for not a lot of $ ;>)
That is a big time saver compared to the smaller units I built in the past. I did have a 2 cylinder diaphragm 20 gpm pump on that before the 3 cyl one. Tried multiple pumps thru the years and really love those diaphragm ones v/s gear or roller ones.
Thanks for adding the end. When you describe this two things come through. You dislike the idea of not thinking ahead for ease of service and repair which shows you repair things for a living. Second only a car painter pays close attention to switch spray patterns plus all nozzle tips. They go back to someone familiar with carb jets and injection nozzle tips. I would say you set up NOS systems too.
My favorite advertising campaign saying from years back was BASF. "We don't make the products you buy, we make the products you buy better" Or something like that! Really enjoyed your write up. Never dabbled in NOS but do have something to add. Many years back before NOS I had an 350 Honda cycle. It was idling without an air cleaner. The torch was near by with the brazing tip. Put it in the end of only 1 carb, turned on the oxygen and the engine went to 3,500 rpm immediately. I was wondering how long an engine would last at the drag strip on that! Take a beater and hide the bottle under the back seat, LOL
@11:10 how come you dont have a qwik coupler on the lower par, good vid, looks like stuff that could be bought, but i know how you roll, i shared with a friend that uses equipment like this for a living
Hi Kenny. You got me on the quick coupler. I definitely overlooked that one and shall be executing your idea! (The check is in the mail)..... Thank you :>)
It did take years and money spent/wasted on things that didn't work very well to get to this point. That's why I like doing these type of video's to show everyone what is available in hopes to save channel viewers some $ on their builds and eliminate some guess work. Thank you for your kind thoughts & hope you stop by again Chip, Jeff.
Hello J.W. I wish there was more time in a day. So many things going on here lately and been over helping out friends out on things that helped me in the past makes it difficult to get more vid's together that I wish to do. Always enjoy the comment. That makes things so worth it at my end!
All the pines were brought in with a tree truck. The smallest ones were 6 feet. I trust everyone and some were quite infested with gall and aphids. Proper timing to get rid of gall is critical or the pesticide would be a waste. I would recommend everyone to research this tree stuff before purchasing a bunch of trees. Lets put this mildly - I paid my tuition!
Great question. For the weeds in the lawn I use 24D. I buy it in a 2.5 gallon bottle. It's concentrate and is only around 40 bucks and lasts many years. It is available in 1 gal too. For under the pines to kill everything I use Roundup. I buy that in 2.5 gallon container from a farm co-op. Around 90 bucks. For those prices it don't pay to mix stuff up that don't last or work as good. Beware -The big box stores get 40 a quart for Roundup, 20 for the diluted concentrate. Way too expensive, robbery without a gun!
Awesome video Jeff, excellent!!! I know about video distractions, every time I do a video a 737 or Airbus A320 flies overhead. Drives me nuts! You have the coolest equipment and tricks to do things. Really enjoyed the video.
Thanks Craig! The trains use to just leave the horns blasting. I think they were on a toggle switch with a broken handle making it hard to turn them back off. :>O They finally approved a quiet zone here. What a blessing!
American Ingenuity at it's best! You can make just about anything had you not said you made that I would have thought you bought it that way. I wish you were my neighbor ;-)
I see this is an older video but I'm curious what psi you run at to spray your pines? I'm needing to spray my pines for beetle and have some pretty tall trees. I'd say 50 or so feet. I can't figure out if a roller pump would handle it at 250-275psi and around 10gpm.
Hi Jason. I used those roller pumps years ago. NOT impressed. I can reach the top of the silo with the 3 cylinder diaphragm pump I have now. I set it around 225 psi. That pump is rated at 29 gal per minute. Why so big when I only have a 55 gallon. tank? That makes my rig very impressive just off of idle. Fuel and wear and tear savings very nice. Cant remember what tip I have in the gun (its big) but it really works great, get done much faster with this setup, time is so precious to me.... back to work.
2Jeffs 1 - This is a fantastic video and build - just like all your others. I just bought a used Kubota B7510 and would love to build a rig like this. Is there any possibility of you listing all the pumps and valve part numbers that you used, for us less talented fabricators?
I love what you did with this. Can you tell me more about the dampener. Who makes it. I would love to get this for my sprayer. It is the perfect size. Also. Where did you get your valve body from. I love the controls.
hey jeff nice job building the sprayer what kind of pump and valves you are using ,i will love to build one myself to spray some oak trees who are about 60 to 75 ft tall thank you very much in advance
The pump is a Hypro model D115. Bigger is better like on an air compressor pump to avoid the - I wish I would of's. I purchased that valve assembly from a local farm supply store. Hypro model MV - 46305 1.3.MPR. The gun I would recommend is that long one is best for distance. Ritterhouse has a lot of useful products on their site and where that came from. mkrittenhouse.com/us/ Seems I might of bought that pump there too.
If there is no wind I can get to the top of the silo. Best guess that is 50' The pump is capable of 300 psi. I usually spray from 200 to 250 psi so 60 - 75 might be possible @ 300 psi. Not aware of any better setups for that distance you are trying to reach.
Hi Rodger. Thanks for getting back to me on that. Great! phooesnax brought up he wondered if it worked on stacked pots. I had an old Pioneer that was getting bad but not enough for that video. I did try that on that one and it works flawless for a month now.
Your knowledge of pumping fluids is outstanding. Great job on the tank and the video.

Love your sense of humor
I think it's something to do with that bird..... ;>)

Always learn some new tricks from you great video nice property
Appreciate knowing these video's help out. By having this equipment is a time saver allowing more time to do other things.

It always amazes me how professionally built your projects look when they are finished. The little details make all the difference.

I always enjoy seeing what you are up to. Your projects and gadgets are an inspiration!
That's a great set up you designed there, you didn't over look anything!! Well done!!☺
Ahhh - Thanks! It's great to get yard things done sooner than later so one can move on to other projects at hand....
Impressive, as are most of your videos!
Thanks! These projects keep me out of trouble. ;>)
Thanks Jeff, always enjoy your videos...Have incorporated several of your ideas.
That's what I like to hear, that some parts/info is useful/helpful to others. Thanks for stopping by Mike, Jeff
Great video and inspiration to a future project of mine! Glad I found your channel! Cheers
Awesome don’t know what else to say.
Nice setup.
Thank you!
Great sprayer. Wish you were my neighbor and friend.
Thank you. Yes - good neighbors are priceless!
Super cool....
Thanks for sharing Jeff. It is always great to see a new post. Thank you , Jack

Thanks for all the videos you post. Great job!
Thank you for watching and commenting Danny, Jeff.
could you tell what to use on weeds .as I would like to make some up and then use it .what is needed and the recipe. thanks

Thanks man! I must say I would enjoy a few good neighbors here with the same interests to create things with!
What is the BOOM valve for?
The boom is the fold out piece attached to the back of the sprayer. It is used for weed control in the lawn.
Hello sir, Can I get that sprayer gun.
PS - your yard is beautifully manicured! It looks like a golf putting green.
The entire yard here has been filled/raised. Lotsa hours spent on those tractors. Kept me - out of trouble for some time - as one would say! ;>)

2jeffs1 thank you for the reply how high up can you spray the trees around here are 60 to 75ft tall

thank you very much for your help if i get any other question i will ask you tou are a very knowledgeable person
nice job as always,by the way that wd 40 tuner trick worked perfectly

It's a shame you have that warehouse next door when you have such a nice property!
Do have a lot of fun on that blacktop tho...
At least you are making the best of it :)
