Simple Fence Row Sprayer
“When you keep your fence rows clean, it helps keep weeds out of your crops,” says Warren Napier, a Lincoln, Ark., hay grower. Until last year, he used a handheld sprayer to apply Roundup along 3 miles of fence, which took a week – twice a year.
  Last year, he sprayed the fence lines in a day with a sprayer he mounted on his ATV.
  “I bought a 20-gal. tank and made a fence line sprayer out of 3-ft., 3/4-in. galvanized pipe with a 3-in. flexible nipple with spray nozzle. The nipple bends and won’t break if it hits the fence,” says Napier.
  He plumbed the tank with a quick disconnect so he can also put a wand on it with a cluster nozzle to spray ditches and other areas.
  He hooked up an electric pump to the ATV’s battery to run the sprayer.
