I use a 21 gallon northstar sprayer currently. I'll be selling my ztr and picking up a gm1600 to mow with as the property is much smaller.

Problem is I'll have nothing to pull it so I'm thinking I could purchase a walking boom and a longer hose. Larger the boom the better as I'll have about 18k sq ft.

Interested in something like this. But I'd rather not spend that much. https://www.ebay.com/i/252432195440?chn=ps&dispItem=1&ul_ref=http%253A%252F%252Frover.ebay.com%252Frover%252F1%252F711-117182-37290-0%252F2%253Fmpre%253Dhttps%25253A%25252F%25252Fwww.ebay.com%25252Fi%25252F252432195440%25253Fchn%25253Dps%252526dispItem%25253D1%2526itemid%253D252432195440%2526targetid%253D373383345519%2526device%253Dm%2526adtype%253Dpla%2526googleloc%253D9019595%2526poi%253D%2526campaignid%253D936429839%2526adgroupid%253D50718914630%2526rlsatarget%253Dpla-373383345519%2526abcId%253D1129646%2526merchantid%253D115343287%2526gclid%253DCjwKCAjw4KvPBRBeEiwAIqCB-baqMFkt7sg4XIGxEBO1h4CoHPUsKU1ISZ-i3ug1cc1tPYNqH-7OCBoC4aAQAvD_BwE%2526srcrot%253D711-117182-37290-0%2526rvr_id%253D1341999661668#appLaunched

Anybody here have something similar or possibly pointers? I also have a 4gal backpack but that's for gly.

would it be wrong trying to uses a lesco spray gun instead? Would be used for pgr/fas/urea/tenacity.

I'd just assume it wouldn't be as efficient as a boom? Or am I thinking about this all wrong?

Have you looked at these?

I do need a push spreader but I don't think I could spend that much. But thanks for the video, it gave me another idea. I could piece together the boom that's located on the front and run a aux hose from the current sprayer I have.

Or I could re mount the boom that's on the current sprayer. That might be the best option.

I've got to downsize all my current equipment so it would be nice to repurpose what I can.

Hey ABC

What did you end up deciding on? I'm pretty much in the same situation you are with the size of lawn. I just do not have a tow behind. A tow behind for me is mentally difficult because of agility, corners, and accuracy. Not sure I could do a tow behind mentally and I don't have a way to tow it. I could possibly use the 90cc 4 wheeler to tow it.

Could you use your tow behind pushing it manually but with a lot less liquid and a boom like you suggested?

I'm pretty much heading down the spreader mate path that Ware referenced unless there is a better solution. There is always the chapin walk behind.

I've actually settled on the cheaper option of a square hopper broadcast spreader with a front mounted boom. The boom will be re purposed from the pull sprayer, I'll have to find a longer hose to go from the sprayer to the spreader with a shutoff valve. The manual states mph + psi = gal/k So that should be easy to calibrate. Just didn't want to make something and then figure out I didn't have enough pump power.
