Very beautiful build, lots of hours into it I can tell. I have one on the way with many inspirations coming directly from your build. Have you considered running a T or 3 way valve directly off the pushing side of the pump so you can bypass the cone and super reel to prevent any type of contamination going into your tanks when using your pump isolation valve? I know it’s probably not a big deal to you considering you might tote pull from the pump if you need I’ve just been taught to eliminate as many variables as possible with chemical. I’ll make a video or send some pics your way if you want to check my build out, I’m an entry level welder without a plasma table so go easy on me!! Just wanted to give credit where it’s due, you have one of the most efficient, dual purpose venturi set ups out there. Much love from Saskatchewan
Thank you! This does very well at minimizing contamination as no chemicals go through the pump. Water is flushed through the flow meter after each fill and the chemicals are only added under velocity. So in theory it shouldn't have any still spots to settle in
great set up, I watched a couple times. I could be wrong but I have looked at durameter website and I don't see that they offer a gear type meter. The meter durameter makes you must adjust the viscosity of the product. GPI makes an oval gear meter that measures volume and would be accurate between products of different viscosity. If I am wrong let me know cause local shop sells durameters
Calibration is easy and usually doesn't need much adjustment. Most products start at 8. We watch gallons per inch in the totes and this is close enough. Here's a link to the complete cone www.proagsupply.com/chemical-inductor
@@practicalfabricator gotcha. So you ran a T off the inductor one for venturi and other way went to pump intake. That would be nice sometimes for a small load
I can say it works great. The Venturi is able to pull any product that we need. I plant and don't run the sprayer, but the guys really like this setup. 1000 gallons four products takes about 10 mins start to finish
BEAUTIFUL -- THANK YOU - LOTS TO LEARN FOR US --- BTW, AT 6:00 WOULD IT BE SMART TO USE A HYDROLIC PART FOR THE LID OPEN / CLOSE ? I WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR INPUT.
Looks good, I can see that you put a lot of thought in to your project. I’ve made a tender trailer two years ago, I’m going to use some of your tips on mine. Question, I assume on your Sprayer you have a rinse tank. Mine does, to fill it quickly from the tender . I use the 3” hose , normally fills the solution tank, after it’s rinsed, you can top off the rinse tank. I made a 3” male coupling to 2” female coupling. To do the job. I also have a Praxidyn Mixmate system, check it out. I would suggest you install a screen in front of the gear meter. It has very tight clearance. Also put a floating ball in sight gauge of the Enduroplas tank, I have a source if you’re interested.
Wow. That’s a slick setup. Just chatted with you on TikTok about your Venturi. We have the exact same trailer ours is a spread axle though. We have a 2400 gal top air sprayer we tender to. I’ll be loading 85 gal of lexar to the sprayer I can’t get anyone to answer my question of how long will it take to pull that through the Venturi. I will be setting up 3-85 gallon cone tanks to pump into. Im not a fan of sucking through a meter I want to see the product in a cone tank. That’s just my preference. I’ve been using the high flow chem pumps and they pump fast. I load all jugs on the sprayer as it has its own 15 gal tank with a Venturi. And that works fine. I just don’t want to run chemical through my full pump. I want to have clean rinse water when I need it. I’m using a 3” pump now to fill. What do you think about sucking 85 gal of lexar through the Venturi? How long would it take? And then possibly 30 gallon of glyphosate. I guess the biggest question is do I continue to use suction side to empty my cones or the pressure side with a Venturi to pull it out. I’m ok with either way I don’t want to slow down filling time, but I also want to have clean rinse water if that makes sense. Thanks for taking the time to make that video.
I'm sure there is info on the ratio of carrier vs product. With really high rates I added a suction inlet 2" cam with a valve. With a rate that big you can measure the tote and pull. You can do cone fill pumps and venturi empty.
Depends on the pump pressure. But like you I had a 2" line sucking out of totes on a scale. This way I typically draw out about 30 gallons of Glyphosate in about 40 seconds. During this time it draws about 50-60 gallons of carrier. This is with a 3" hypro power pro pump at full throttle.

Pretty slick build. I like that the pump isnt full of chemicals.
That's my favorite part. Keeps everything very clean
Nice job on the waste cage.
MUST have!
That’s very well thought out! Sweet setup
Nice setup.

where did you get the tote manifold that before the meter

Like the aluminum ladder.
I guess i dont understand how that works at 9:00. Nice build. I woulda put as many hoses under deck as i could
The thought with this was to be able to remove all the skids without changing the trailer. Hoses under would be nice
Also that whole thing at 9:00 wasn't a problem and didn't need that draw on the pump inlet. The Venturi can draw about 1:10 product to water
@@practicalfabricator gotcha. So you ran a T off the inductor one for venturi and other way went to pump intake. That would be nice sometimes for a small load
Yep a simple tee before the pump the Venturi is after
I'd love to see an update or a practical video. To see how well it works. The fabrication is superb
I can say it works great. The Venturi is able to pull any product that we need. I plant and don't run the sprayer, but the guys really like this setup. 1000 gallons four products takes about 10 mins start to finish
Well thought out. Can you stack your totes two high or just four?
Very helpful video. Have you had any accuracy issues with running multiple different viscosity chemicals all through the same meter?
Haven't noticed. The clear hose helps to see if it's metering air. The gear type is very accurate

Source for sight gauge floats? A piece of pex line will work in a pinch.
That mixmate is slick. I went with the venturi to eliminate as much as possible. This setup is much more manual but eliminates small electric pumps
Do you have any blue prints or sketches of the plumbing layout? Any contact info?
Been trying to put together parts for my own tender wagon and was wonder how you plumbed in the clean water to the jug knife and agitation.
It pulls water before the Venturi so it's pressurized but before any chemical is introduced
did you tap into the 3/4 inch port on y of the inductor?@@practicalfabricator
