Boomless ATV sprayer

[Andy84]

Does anyone use one of these? I see you can get them up to 25’ thought it might be handy for steep/wet/rough bits mostly using mcpa. Just wondered if they worked well or do they not carry enough liquid for that amount of coverage?

is that all home made it what’s it based on? I reckon trailers is better than mounted! More stable, more capacity and you don’t have to take the dog box off!

Why not just buy the proper job , they are not expensive

This is ours for spraying round edges of fields. I have some wide coverage nozzles for it too. This 1 was expensive, but as with most things in life get what you pay for.

FIMCO Boomless ATV Sprayer with 3 Nozzle Boom DT-95-3N - Davies Tractors

Bought one of these about ten years ago. Spray is a bit coarse for bunches of nettles but does thistles/ docks ok. Have done small areas of grass with roundup but not 100% cover. Proper boom with normal nozzles would do a better job but probably dearer

^this. I bought a Boominator thing years ago, which covered 15'. The problem is that the droplets are so coarse to get them to cover the distance, that the coverage on the target plants is very poor. Whilst it curled the thistles & nettles (in grassland) over initially, they all perked up again.

It might be OK with some chemicals that require less coverage, but very poor with Thistlex/Pastor IME. Proper boom or a weedwiper seems more effective.

Not a lot of info I'm afraid. I use it to tidy up round the edges of fields. Which isn't very environmentally friendly I know. It was moved to the front as couldn't see what was going on with it mounted on back and sometimes crop got sprayed.

My brother made that bracket at front himself. It folds up and down. Would be ideal for spraying under solar panels if fitted with wide angle nozzle.

If you want any more info or pictures. Please ask.

I have 100M on my bracken sprayer.

I have 100M on my bracken sprayer.

I get in a tangle with 6m of hose on mine, do you have a winding reel?

To the op, we do, but it started off with a boom but the Mrs was doing that thing with a self closing gate..... slightly too late... dead spider
