Last fall I bought a Chapin battery powered backpack so I could spray prodiamine but realized quickly that it wasn't gonna work for my entire property. Not that it won't work but I'm too lazy for it 😂. So the other day I got this sprayer and 3 nozzle boom (boom doesn't come with sprayer). I made a platform for the back of my rider, added the boom and a couple shutoff valves to the sprayer. I sprayed my back yard today (18,000 sq ft) and am pretty happy with the way it worked out.

I need to make a few modifications like different spray nozzles, the ones that came with the boom aren't that great. And I need to reinforce the platform, I underestimated how heavy 15 gallons of water was. But other than that it's awesome! Can't wait to spray more stuff, the neighbors are gonna think I'm nuts 🤪

@Cory Nice job on the retrofit. In hindsight, I wish I would have opted for the ATV sprayer instead of the tow-behind trailer sprayer that I got from Tractor Supply.
Thanks! I was originally gonna tow it in my yard cart but I kept thinking how much of a pain it was to back it up to start a new row so decided to mount it.

Very nice. I'm thinking about doing this. Where did you get the brackets?
Thanks! It came from the uprights of a garage storage shelf that I wasnt using anymore.
