If you enjoyed this video or the build, then I would love it if you liked and even subscribed if you were feeling generous lol
Where did you use the green leaf pipe nipple 101366? I looked part up and it shows 3” nipple?
That goes into the bulkhead connector and allows the next piece to mount to it.
Any chance of getting a little more detail on the build? More step by step even if it's just an instruction sheet?
I really didn’t want to get another piece of lawn equipment, and this one is a bit pricey. When I apply RGS and humic with a hose-end sprayer on 8k sq ft, it’s dragging hose through a fence and at least one hose change for the side of the property. Then I saw your video, and I changed my mind. Not sure if i should thank you or curse you 😉 Just ordered the Chapin from Lowe’s and got the regulator, gauge, and bulkhead through Amazon.
I anppreciate the clear explanation of how you modded yours and thanks a ton for the parts list. I’m also going to skip the pump upgrade until I use it a few times to help decide on sizing and whether the battery also needs an upgrade.
Great video to include the modification. I've had mine a few months now and love it as well.
One I may get one of those. Pretty cool. Thanks Andy! 👍🏼
Fantastic man! I’ve looked so hard at this unit, but space is a premium for me and I can’t justify getting it when I have a Flowzone for yard spraying and pesticides around the house. But dang I love your setup!
It would be hard to replace a flowzone, I hear that are amazing!
@@TheRealLawnFather the Flowzone was originally bought to spray the perimeter of the house with pesticides, do the work myself rather than pay a company and it was a great decision. Doing it myself paid for the sprayer in no time. Bonus I can also use it for PGR, bio’s, and liquid fertilizers. But dang it took me a while to finally calibrate it. Always felt like using a sprayer like yours would have been way easier to begin with 👍🏻
Great video Andy! That thing would make short work of my 5,000 square foot lawn
You’re like the home improvement guy!
I feel like him too lol
☀Great video! Thank you for sharing! I need to upgrade mine soon. 😎
Thank you! I’m ready to upgrade the boom and make a bigger boom 🤛🏻🤛🏻
I’m glad I came across this video Andy. I currently have the FZ 4 gallon backpack sprayer but really want a walk behind. The backpack gets so heavy when full. I’m saving this video to reference your upgrades when I pull the trigger
I know the feeling, I got tired of a backpack sprayer quick!
Awesome video! I just got this sprayer and the pressure is so high so the bypass makes so much sense. thanks!
The pressure drop significantly with dual tips which is the bad part.
Do you think by adding just the 2 tips you would'nt need the pressure regulator?@@TheRealLawnFather
@@TheLawngestYard most likely not after using it for awhile. But I do plan on upgrading the pump at some point and I’ll need it then.
Is there anyway to get an updated list of the parts? Some of these are not pulling up and/or different
@@jimbobills I can give it a shot in a few days.
Hello, I just purchased this sprayer from Amazon. I’m going to try and make the changes to it that you have made as well. Looking at your parts list I was wondering if you could verify the part number that you used for the Diaphragm check valve nozzle body.
Thank you
i wanted to check and see if you ever upgraded your pump and if so would you mind providing the name and size of pump you may of upgraded to. If you did upgrade your pump did you have to modify the mounting bracket for the pump ? Thank you so much ...
I just got this same sprayer and I am setting up my boom. Quick question on the Tee-Jet nozzles; so I am going to get the Red XR one you suggested and based on the output at between 30-40psi the pump outputs looks like a easy walking spreed to lay down 1 gal per 1000 sq. foot. I am kind of new to liquid application and wanted to get your take on the air induction nozzle. I noticed in your video you had the XR tip on for the Humic application you did. What products do you use the air induction tip for given its coarser droplet size? Also I plan on running mine as a pretty simple set up with no pressure bypass/regulator just to a 2 tip boom, so in that case would you suggest that I just stick with the single XR tip for everything I apply; Humic, Fertilizer, Pre-emergent, Post Emergent weed killer etc?
I’m sorry but I have 1 more question on your parts list from Farm & Fleet. Can you tell me what size length is needed for part 101366 (Green leaf nipple) and part 145211 (reducing bushing pipe nipple),
Trying to make sure I order all the proper parts
Thanks again
when the fluid level gets low in the tank, does the pump sputter and eventually loose pressure to spray liquid? I have a Craftsman 4 gal back pack sprayer. When there is about less than a gallon of liquid left in the tank, the pump doesn't spray much. When the level is at about 1/2 gal, the pump doesn't spray any liquid at all.
Do you think it's possible to attach a wind deflector in some way? I live in a very windy area and I know 10mph is the law/recommended in many areas but it's hard to find a day under 10-15mph. I usually use a chem lawn style nozzle on my backpack sprayer and that works good but my pull behind sprayer is more of a mist like this sprayer and struggles in any wind. Thanks!
Im not sure how you would attach one that would work, but also not get in the way of the spray pattern. I will have to think about that one lol
Just put this together today. Works great!, I skipped the top part of the build, this thing is pretty weak when it comes to psi with this stock pump, so I skipped that part for now. I used longer bolts and a nut on the back of the angle clamps. No tape needed to hold in place. Not sure how you were able to use the stock bolts to hold the clamps on to the conduit, mine just kept swinging loose. Thanks for sharing! Think this is a must if you own this unit.
I’m glad it worked out for you!
@@TheRealLawnFather Works great!
@@LIGHT7CODE7 what was total cost?
@Gunslingingmonkey think around $80-$90 for the additional parts. I have it rigged to the back of my riding mower now. Thing gets to be a workout pushing thru the yard.
@LIGHT7CODE7 thanks. I was thinking that might be the case with 12 gallon tank. But what's more of a workout , pushing it or carrying a 4 gallon backpack sprayer? You have way to share pics or video of it attached and how you did it?
What pump would you upgrade too? Mine finally died on me. Bad thing but about to make the boom set up you have
Probably a 4-5 gpm that can run 80 psi, an 80psi pump should get me closer to the 60psi at the tip I need for the correct droplet sizes.
Nice video. Any idea what type of pump you are going to replace the stock pump with?
Not sure yet, probably a 2.2 gpm with at least 80 psi.
@@TheRealLawnFather Thanks. That's what I was thinking as well.
Worst thing is the ATV kit part, they give you the shortest screws that are worthless.
Did you have any issue with the sprayer leaking at the elbow underneath the tank when you first got it? I had this issue and ordered a replacement. Its not as significant but still drips.
Mine dropped a little bit it was loose when I first got it. But I replaced that hose when I added the boom. It hasn’t leaked since.
Will this work to spray out 1 gallon of water alone? Basically does it spray all of the water out or is there a little that it won't pump out?
If my yard was flat it would, but everything is on a slope here so there’s always some that won’t come out.
What size for the bulkhead fitting and nipple? There are multiple sizes on farm & fleet.
I believe I went with a 1” and added a 1 inch to 3/4” adapter to go into the relieve valve.
what spray width does this increase to?
It’s somewhere around 50”, might be more but I can’t remember the exact number.
How do you clean it? Is it a pain to clean?
No, I run a gallon of clean hot water through it and call it a day.
Hello, I came across your video and like what you have done to your sprayer. Am I correct in that it appears that you eliminated the ability to perform spot spraying with the hand wand ? I’m guessing it could of been modified to retain the spot spraying capabilities.
You’re correct, i removed the wand sprayer. It absolutely could be left there. But I knew I wouldn’t use it so I removed it.
Thank you for your response, another quick question. Have you by any chance added a drain plug to the bottom of the sprayer to help make it easier to clean as I do not believe the sprayer has a drain plug and if so does the drain plug leak in any way?
I didn’t add one, you can unscrew the supply hose from the bottom of the tank to drain it.
Oh ok, thanks. I do not own the sprayer. I like what you did to it and was thinking of buying one and attempt to modify it as well.
@@stevedavis7277 it’s a good sprayer, definitely won’t regret buying one.
Can you get another battery with the machine?
I believe you can buy one separately.
@@TheRealLawnFather how long the battery stay charged
@@TheRealLawnFather did you ever replace the pump?
Whats the parts
The parts are in the description.
Part number would help. Which nozzle body 2, multiple items pop up with that description.
