Just found your video. Very nice build. I am looking to add something similar to my toro time cutter. How does the mower handle with all that extra weight in the rear of the machine? Do you have any videos on how the frame holding up the sprayer is assembled? Thanks for sharing!
The mower acts and rides the same I only fill 12 gals at a time it was a little unstable when I filled it to 16 gals. The frame I built out of Unistrut angle brackets and spring nuts and bolts. I can try to get out of video for you on the frame itself but not this week
I have a toro time cutter (newer version 2021) & the very same north star sprayer that you have. My question is where did you get the parts to mount the tank to your mower? Your video is very helpful by the way.
I'm a Commercial contractor so I have easy access to getting the parts. But if you look up either kindorf or Unistrut you will be able to find the parts online somewhere and order them
For easy math. Let's say you have a 5gpm pump and the boom is using 2gpm . Is the return line recirculating 3gpm at the same time the boom is running? Or do you have to open the bypass vale for any fluid to return to the tank?
The return line from the pressure regulator needs to be plumbed all the way to the bottom of the tank. Two reasons. 1. Eliminate foaming of chemicals. 2. Return pressure will better stir the tank from the bottom.
Not necessarily. The intake to the pump is on the bottom right of the tank. The return is to the top left part of the tank. The pressure that is produced by the return line is enough to push anything from the bottom spend it in your mixture And your chemicals will not foam up only foaming that could be done is if you add too much surfactant. That is also why you put your surfactant it in at the very end
@@jerrybillings4720 no if you set up your sprayer at 20 inches apart and 20 in from the floor you have to travel 204 ft. In 204 ft you will find out how fast your traveling that is your thousand square foot. So it takes me 33 seconds to cover that space. Then you take your sprayer container and measure your output for 33 seconds. You adjust to try to get a gallon per thousand
Absolutely genius thank you sir
A parts list would be very helpful
Great set-up, how was the support to install on mower made..that would be helpfull to know?
Basically called Unistrut or kindorf metal. Brackets bolts spring nuts. Only have to drill one hole in-frame because my frame already had the holes

Thanks for sharing all these details! Does the manual boom valve allow you to use the spot spraying wand without the boom spraying at the same time?
Yes it does

Yes no vavles have to be open it will bypass the 3 gpm

You should build units to sell them.

OK thanks. I was told to measure spray and divide that by 1000. Then that distance was your 1000 Sq.ft.
