Narrow-Wheel In Crop Spot Sprayer
![]() |
"You can drive it through fields in any direction and do virtually no damage thanks to 4-ft. dia. wheels that are just 1/4-in. thick, with small `grousers', made out of pieces of angle iron, welded to the front two wheels. The rear wheel casters.
"The two front drive wheels are chain-driven by individual hydraulic motors on separate valves so I use the valves - which are operated by foot pedals - to steer with. Leaves my hands free to run a spray wand.
"The hydraulic pump is a piston-type driven by an 18-hp. Briggs & Stratton motor. The rig is fitted with a 15-ft. spray boom and a 35-gal. spray tank with a 12-volt pump.
"You could use this narrow wheeled spray rig to spot spray any solid-seeded crop."
