All Terrain ATV Sprayer
The sprayer is built from lightweight, high-strength steel tubing and is equipped with a small 110-gal. tank. It weighs only 700 lbs. That compares to about 1,200 lbs. for most ATV sprayers. The light weight makes any sprayer easier to pull around and reduces soil compaction. The sprayer rides on 4-ply flotation tires mounted on an oscillating tandem axle. The axle is adjustable from 48 to 96 in. The tongue is adjustable in height for different ATV models. The combination of the adjustable axle and adjustable tongue lets you balance and level the sprayer for a more comfortable ride.
A 3 1/2 hp Briggs & Stratton gas engine powers the sprayer's centrifugal pump. Three valves keep the boom supplied at high speeds and rates. The self-leveling boom is adjustable from 12 to 36 in. high. It's available in 25 to 45-ft. lengths and is equipped with no-drip nozzle bodies on 20-in. spacing. A sprayer equipped with a 35-ft. boom sells for $3,950. Radar speed gun and foam markers are optional.
