Lightweight Mini-Floater SPRAYING New Sprayers 22-6-35 We've been building lightweight "floating" spray rigs for years and introduced our latest new mini- floater at the recent Ohio Farm Science Review. It was hitched to a Polaris "Ranger" 6-WD ATV equipped with a 500 c.c. engine. The Ranger is ideal because it will straddle two 30-in. rows instead of just one with any other 6 or 4-WD ATV we've used before. That leaves an even number of rows on each side of center to follow your planter exactly.
Key to success is our new 5th wheel kit that adapts the Ranger to use with the sprayer. The mini floater, which is equipped with a drawbar hitch (standard), is available with either a 50 or 60-ft. boom and either 150 or 200-gal. tank.
Among available options are a 4-ft. goose-neck and a new 15-in. wide rubber track system for both the sprayer and Ranger, which add a minimum of $575 and $1,000, respectively, to the base price. Sprayers range in price from $3,000 $14,000, depending on options. (JM Innovations Inc., 9304 Hess Road, Edwardsvile, Il. 62025 ph 618 667-6089; fax 0024).
