[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 4105410, member: 5412"] Lots of folks put those in the back of a UTV or ATV to do spot spraying. The pump volume is adequate for riding along a fence line to keep weeds/grass down or spot spraying. If spot spraying is what your wanting to do with it, it's looks good to go. I had one a couple years ago, but it was on a little trailer to be pulled behind an ATV. 20 gallon I think. I'd still be using it, but was left out in the sun. Not a good thing to do. The plastic became brittle and cracked. Edit: IMHO, the pump doesn't have the volume to support a boom with multiple heads. Boom sprayers make it tough to get around trees or fences. I'd look at a broadcast spray nozzle that doesn't use a boom with that rig if available. My three point sprayer with two broadcast nozzles will do 32', but it's pto driven with a variable pressure regulator. I may be full of crap, but I'd think a pump with at least twice that GPM would need to be bought to make a small boom or broadcast system. The broadcast system uses two nozzles that can be adjusted 360 degrees. If spraying into the wind in tall johnson grass, they can be pointed straight up to get full coverage, or pointed down so the fan can cover whats under it when running against the wind. [/QUOTE]
