Custom Built Pull-Type
Sprayer
JK 1180-03
Why we built our own sprayers:
Our first sprayer was built in 1990,
because we could not find a high clearance sprayer with a self levelling 80'
boom in our area that was built strong enough to withstand the impact of
deep pivot tracks, light build, etc.
Issues we wanted to address when we started to build our new
sprayer in 2003:
- easy and fast
hook-up to the pulling tractor
- increased
sprayer tank size
- larger capacity
sprayer pump, independent from hydraulics
- large
tires
- hydraulic boom fold
- automatic boom
height control
- quick change
five nozzle body
- end nozzle for fence row spraying
- auto rate control
- radar speed pickup, mounted on the
tractor to be used with other implements
- large
fresh water tank for
canister cleaning and sprayer tank cleaning with rotator nozzles
- strong construction
- electric controlled sprayer clean-up from
the tractor cab
This is what we came up with:
|
|
|
|
The machine is slowly taking shape. The inside boom is welded, only the cross bracing is missing.
|
|
|
|
Tires: 320/90 x 54, tubular frame, 4"x6", fixed 88" wheel spacing since we are stuck on 22" row spacing with our bean production.
