Help Me Put Together A Roadside Sprayer - 09/25/18 04:41 PM
I usually put around 2-4oz per gallon or therebouts in my spot sprayer to kill brush with roundup. That may be overkill on the high number but I don't want to have to do it twice.
I'm sick of riding around with the hand wand hanging out the side of the UTV, I just want to drive down through there and spray out the side.
Here is what I am going to try and do. I've got a spot sprayer with a manifold I can expand so I was going to get a Hamilton boomless nozzle to spray out the left hand side of my UTV to kill brush along the roadside or sides of fields, etc.

I just need good coverage at a reasonable speed, say 5mph don't I? I don't know that I really need to care about how many gallons per acre I'm spraying do I?
I know how to calculate out how many acres per hour I'm covering at a certain speed with a certain width sprayer. I don't know if that has anything to do with calculating anything in this scenario. What I don't want is to blow through 7 gpm... You'd burn through a 25 gallon ATV sprayer tank in a hundred yards.
I'm having a hard time figuring out what nozzle to get. Is there any way to figure that out or is this going to be trail and error?
My tank is 40 gallon.
