Thanks for watching!
Quick and straight to the point! Thank you. I have watched too many videos that are too long and go a bit overboard.
Thanks for watching! I can get long-winded sometimes myself lol I try to keep it to a minimum.
The cargo carrier (basket) that I found that fits a 40 gal tank was at Academy Storts for under $100 it slides in the trailer hitch slot.
id test it before going that route, my zero turn is already wheelie happy, couldn't imagine 200lbs hanging off the back...
Thank you for the video and parts you used. Just what I was looking for. Excellent video and explanation, keep up the grat job.
I'm glad you found the video informative. Thanks for watching! I have another video about the sprayer as well.
Do you have a material list

@@WestWorld24 thank you, I have them nozzles from a broken sprinkler 👏👏
The sprayer and tank I have only engages the pump when the wand is sprayed. What did you do to bypass this?
The pump engagement is regulated by the pressure. Once the line pressure reaches the maximum setting the pump will shut off. When you remove the wand from the system the pump will operate continuously as long as it's turned on. I hope that makes sense. Thanks for watching!
@@WestWorld24 yep makes sense thanks for the explanation. so if I wanted to keep the wand I could put a valve in the line to switch to the boom sprayer when needed
@@codyleger1750 exactly. I thought about doing the same thing.
Have you gone on to your more permanent set-up with the hitch mount?
I never did change it. I kept the tank in the trailer for now but with spring just around the corner I may try a new and improved set up and if I do I will post it. Thanks for the comment 😊
I am building my own sprayer cart. I bought a 20 gallon plastic druim for $25, I bought a 12 volt diaphram pump for $15 on Amazon. I put a 4" port in the tamk for filling it. Got on amazon also. I had two wheels off of a bicycle, and made a frame for the tank out of some 2 x 4 and some 1 x 6 wood. i had some hose, elbows, and fittings and a brass 1/2 pattern lawn sprayer nozzle. pump puts ot 1 gallon per minute and I am getting about an 8 ft sprey pattern . I adjusted the throttle and with my Craftsman LT1000 in 3rd gear, I travel 125 ft in a minute. This will result in a one gallon per 1000 sq ft. output which makes it easy to determine how much fertilizer I need to mix up to cover my 9000 sq ft yard. so I have about $55 invested in making this sprayer cart

@@eagleviewhd very creative! You should post a video LOL
@@WestWorld24 I did :ua-cam.com/video/52J4XrQMMCc/v-deo.htmlsi=ksmuaanlpSOhxDVB
Thanks for the video. Definitely a quick and simple set-up that I will adapt to my needs. Again, Thanks for the "to the point" video.
Thanks for watching!
Watching this video as the second one, ah so you have the same idea to build it closer to the mower also, that was my first idea, but I think this variant or having the tank inside the trailer as in your other video will be an easy first project for me as I don't have a generator on my tractor, I would also need an extra 12V battery and keeping that inside the trailer together with the tank, I think that's a winner.
Awesome video and again Thank you for the idea! ❤
Thanks for watching! It's not the perfect setup but it didn't cost me an arm and leg either lol
I put a toggle switch on my mower which makes it much easier to deal with. Plus I put a plug at the hitch, so I can plug, and unplug my sprayer. My son liked it sooo much that he did his that way also instead of having the battery clamps, and switch to hold in your hand. And if I ever need to power something else, I have that 2 prong plug at the hitch.
I thought about doing the same thing. Thanks for watching!
This is brilliant. Thank you for sharing. I'm gonna build one today.
I'm glad you found the video helpful. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the video! I built mine today! Thanks again
You're welcome! I'm glad I could help 😊
I wanted to know can you it spray for mosquitoes?
I just like to know can this set up be as good for spraying for those pests misquotes?
How many gallons per minute does your pump spray? I have head that you have to have a min of 1.8gpm.. can you confirm?
My pump is rated at 2.0 gallons per minute.
I'm late to the party but I'm going to build one tomorrow.
Excellent video too
I'm glad you found the video informative. Thanks for watching!
Link to the pressure relief valve you used? I like it has a return to tank
$25 - - - You obviously don't count money the same way I do.
how is the pvc attached to the tank? zip tied to what?
I have a piece of angle that is bolted to the trailer and the PVC is zip tied to that.
I’m just curious why you didn’t use regular nozzles for sprayers using those sprinkler head sprayers you’re going to put out a lot of volume
These were the only ones I could find at the time. They work fine and they are very inexpensive.
Thank You great idea
Thanks for watching! I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
Is that wagon big enough for 2 tanks
Probably not. I believe that would be too many weight for it.
Do you have a material list
That's what I'm thinking about doing. They have those hitch carrier at harbor freight for 99.00
Just what I was looking for. I do have a 14 gal wand sprayer that I was wondering how to convert it to a boom sprayer on my ATV to kill weeds on my deer food plot. This will do the trick! I love DIYers. Thanks for sharing. Ham Lake, MN.

@@WestWorld24 My tank sprayer has 3/8" hose. Is there a reason why you swapped to the 1/2" hose? Probably because the nozzle is a 1/2" fitting. I do have a clear 1/2" hose sitting around. I was planning on threading the nozzle thru a piece of angle holed angle iron I also have so I can attach to the rack on my ATV. I also watched your 2.0 video and the 1/4 or 90 degree head was a good choice. A lot of other DIY videos have an elaborate set up but for twice a year this is what I was looking for. Thanks again!!!
@@capttaylor03 you are correct, I used a 1/2-in hose because that is the size of the fittings. There are many different ways to build one of these, I'm like you, I wanted to keep it simple and cheap for no more than what I use it. Thanks for watching, I'm glad I could help!
@@WestWorld24 I ended up buying a $0.87 head sprayer and a $0.43 elbow and attached it to my 3/8" hose ($1.30). I attached the head sprayer to a piece of lumber that fits under the bungy chords that hold the sprayer to the ATV. I did buy an extra set and a T in case I want a wider swath like yours. My sprayer had a 13' hose so I can easily cut what I need. Thanks again for the great idea!!!
@@capttaylor03 I'm glad it worked out for you. This video is getting a lot of traction right now lol
Could you put a link to the parts you used? The nozzles, elbows, and tubing?
That's a great idea, I will try to find it online but I bought most of the stuff at Lowes
@ProjectBadBoy I went to Lowe’s... could not find the parts and the people there stared at me like I was an alien when I tried to explain what I was looking for or making
@@scottparker8974 here is a link to the type of nozzles that I used. www.lowes.com/pd/Orbit-15-ft-Quarter-circle-Spray-Head-Nozzle/4566484
You will find these nozzles and the related elbows that you may need in the sprinkler system area.
@@scottparker8974 I had to sort through a few bins before I found the threaded nozzles and elbows that would work together
Project BadBoy thank you! Found something I think will do same job at Ace! Little more expensive than Lowe’s but they didn’t stare at me like I was speaking gibberish!
you really should center the tank over the wheels. incredible strain on the tongue as well as the back of your cart
