Pumped-Up Spot Sprayers
 ✖  |
“I got tired of hand pumping up spot sprayers when treating weeds around the farmyard. I was able to eliminate the problem when I found an old Black & Decker 12-volt compressor and connected it up to a pair of sprayers,” says Alan Linda, New York Mills, Minn.
“I discovered that hand-pumped spray tanks have ‘skins’ that are thick enough to drill and tap to a 1/4-in. pipe thread. I threaded in a barbed adaptor, used some small plastic tees, and connected hoses up to both spray tanks. Now I no longer have to pump.
“What really makes it convenient is a 12-volt remote that I bought at Agri-Supply (www.agrisupply.com) that lets me start and stop the compressor with the push of a button. I pump the sprayers up to about 20 psi, although they’re rated for 40 psi or more. You have to be careful to stay under the rated psi. Everything is mounted in the carrier on back of my ATV so I can quickly get around quickly to kill weeds.”
