Custom Spraying Lance for 12v quad sprayer, Help!

NewBeefFarmer

going inventing :pac:

while i say quad sprayer, i have it in the transport box as of late. . . (quad not available, but it works fine for me)


What im currently doing is putting 90ltrs in. . and I bought a 30ft (maybe more) of hose, extended basically the original. . . and walking with the lance. (long hose is great where u cant get the machine, or in tight places, park up and walk around. . very fast.

not so nice when doing a yard or drive way or roads. . . ur up and down moving it, loads of hose is messy. . etc. .

when i got the sprayer I also got a long (what i can only describe it as a fold out lance with maybe 6/7 jets on it, it connect to your quad or tractor, but the problem is that its too flipping wide, and can u knock some jets off, no, can i shorten it, no.) openned out it must be 12/14 ft wide.

id like a 4 ft lance and put it to one side of the transport box, maybe stick it out a bit on one side for the verge. . . . drive down the drive , and back up the farside. . job done.

i know ur thinking, down one side and up the other, . . just make it the width i want it. . . but i have other places like small yards i could do with it this size, other wise id be over lapping etc. . .

so plan is. . .


i have loads of hose left over (i was given way to much for 25 quid lol. . , so was thinking of makeing up my own lance. . ..

where can i get jets/heads. . . maybe 3 or 4. . it will take expermenting with widths and heights etc.. . but i think its possible. ..

thoughts.

when you say fold out lance you mean fold out boom right?

NewBeefFarmer

yes, fold out boom, thats the word.

Just put a shut-off valve and tee piece along the boom. Turn it off then to limit flow to one side of the tee piece.

That page will have everything you should need. Nozzle bodies with various numbers of connectors to suit a boom, nozzles, nozzle filters, nozzle cap & gasket, boom body clamp (to attach to your boom unless you've another way of doing it), they even have pipe and on/off taps.
