What an awesome idea! I'm not terribly handy so I wanted to buy a small 15Gal tank pump sprayer and add a boom sprayer to it. This really shows some great ideas for doing just that!
Great project bro ! I came across this video after trying out a 3 gallon electric pump sprayer I purchased in Costco. It was discounted to $44 and that’s what is worth. Blain’s is selling the Roundup brand of the same sprayer for $133. Not worth it ! I love your project ! You have a nice switch, a pressure gauge, two spray options , and it’s powerful enough to cover some serious acreage ! Thanks for sharing your ideas !
I had the need for something similar, and found myself with essentially the same result. I appreciate that you are a maker and seem keen on recycling. Cheers mate
Wow thanks for sharing! Im going to spray around 5 hectares of mesquite with remedy and diesel in water (emulsion) will build something similar to this!!!
How did you connect the filter and the pressure relief valve to the PVC pipe through the 3/4 inch insert coupler? Also what size PVC tubing did you use?
I already have a sprayer so it's too late for me but yours would be much easier to store. What would you put the total build cost at not including the trailer?
I like the idea . I plan on using the 5 gallon bucket of green goblin . I don’t have t tractor or grandpas cart . How much was the liquid gauge? You listed all the parts ? I don’t was to miss anything . Ty
Where did you find the rocker switch with the magnetic back. I have searched a lot of online sites and no one seems to have this switch. Your answer will be much appreciated thanks
So I gather you are pumping liquid (not air pressuring tank to push liquid). Do you just let the pump run and let the regulator/relief valve handle return of excess or do you turn off switch periodically - thinking whether adding expansion tank would be helpful or not. Thanks. BTW, notice the cub cadet. I still have old Cub 1811 my grandfather had (but it needs PTO replacement to be reliable).
Yup, we are moving liquid, not air. And I turn the switch off when I do not want to be spraying and turn it back on when I do. :D Technically I don't have a Cadet, though I always thought they were cool! The cadets were all smaller garden tractors. The only thing the Lo Boys share are the colors. :)
Hello good sir. I'm looking for this exact thing. I want to use it to make a tank full of salt water for killing weeds that keep growing in a long pea rock driveway that doesn't get daily use. Would you possibly be interested in making a build series for this? Something I could follow along to do myself. I'm not incredibly knowledgeable when it comes to the wiring and such. I'm pretty crafty, but I don't think this is a task I could take on with no instruction. I would be willing to pay you for such a series.

Bravo Zulu! I need a simple build for effecient spraying of food plots.

Great video! Appreciated!
Thank you

How did you connect cables to pump ?.. wouldn’t you need a converter ?
The pump is just 12 volts, so it can be connected directly to the 12 volt battery.
I already have a sprayer so it's too late for me but yours would be much easier to store. What would you put the total build cost at not including the trailer?
Right around $100. The most expensive thing was the pump, I payed $47 for it from Rural King. Some stuff I already had.

It was just a magnet I found that I zip tied the switch too.

who did you purchase the rocker switch from?
Not sure I know, it was probably something I found in my parts collection. It looks like a contura switch, something like this: amzn.to/3wZHzmq
