Anhydrous Applicator Turned Into Sprayer

Anhydrous Applicator Turned Into Sprayer FERTILIZER APPLICATION Fertilizer Application (58f) 18-2-12 David Hegland substituted nozzles for shanks when he converted this anhydrous toolbar into a heavy-duty spray rig. He suspended two spray booms made out of 1-in. sq. steel tubing from the double toolbar, each fitted with a separate hose line. One's fitted with broadcast spray nozzles and the other with band nozzles so he can switch between booms depending on what chemical he's spraying. The suspended spray booms mount on home-built brackets that Hegland can easily adjust up or down as needed. A 750-gal. spray tank trails behind on a 2-wheel caddy. Using the heavy-built trailing toolbar gives Hegland a well-built spray rig that's easy to maintain at the correct height. Hegland paid just $300 for the used anhydrous toolbar and around $500 for additional iron, tubing and nozzles to put the spray rig together. He can band apply up to 70 acres with a single tank load of herbicide. Contact: FARM SHOW Followup, David Hegland, Rt.1, McCallsburg, Iowa 50154 (ph 515 434-2979).
