    Very very nice. Would you ever consider a 4 wheel spreader and maybe a larger tank? How is the current weight when full?

    • @lawnrebel
      @lawnrebel  6 лет назад +1

      It is pretty heavy. 12 gallons of water makes it pretty heavy. It is totally doable. 4 wheel would be out unless it was gas powered self propel. I need maneuverability.

    Conner is a guy on the ball. Conner saves us all time by just getting to the POINT on things. He is a very good demonstrator on how to build things correctly. And his videos are effective. Not alot of time consuming yapping to get to the point. Conner is RIGHT-ON. His pace is the pace our country is moving. We have alot in our buckets list to get done. Conner's videos are direct and to the point. ***** Thanks Conner.

    So let me get this right, 12 gallon tank and that pump runs at 5.5 gallons per minute, so in about 2 minutes you are almost empty? Seems like maybe you need a Bigger tank and a Smaller output pump!

    Hi I'm curious about the spray tips. On the spray smarter website, there are the options for just the spray tip, and then also for the spray tip and cap, but the pictures look the same. Is the Cap literally just a Cap to cover the tip when not in use? Or is it something that affects function? Thanks!

    • @lawnrebel
      @lawnrebel  6 лет назад +2

      Let's see you try to maneuver into tight corners with a sprayer in a wagon. Remember... You can not over apply the product. You need to get an even distribution of product even in the hard to reach spots like corners, curves, and edges. The spreader with the 2 wheel pivoting capability is the best option. The 80 lb spreader is also a spreader for my granulars. I had the spreader already. Why would I want another piece of equipment when I already have the best option for the job?

  • @jessew6757

    Hi Connor,
    Thank you for this great DIY video on sprayer. I would like to make a DIY battery powered backpack sprayer. I already have suitable nozzles, the pipe, a 12v Dc 80Psi 1.1 GPM diaphragm Pump, and I can source a suitable 20 liter plastic container.
    On watching your illustration, you quickly mentioned a “pressure relief valve with drain back”. I didn’t quite digest or see how the “drain back” feature works. I would like you to explain the details of that pressure relief valve with special emphasis on the drain back feature, if you don’t mind Sir.
    Is the valve modified to have drain back, or does it have that feature directly on purchase ?
    Thank you in advance for your consideration and I hope to apply this technology in my 2 acre garden.
    Regards, Jesse.

    Connor, I am in the middle planning a similar sprayer to tow behind my lawn tractor. I was thinking of going 6 nozzles. I have so many questions for you. Love to know what nozzles you ended up going with, and wondered if you are happy with the pump. You got a 5.5gpm 60psi pump. I was thinking more in terms of a 1.8gpm 100psi pump. I would love your thoughts.
    [Edit]
    I downloaded your parts list. Very nice.
    Are you happy with your nozzle/pump setup?
    After calibration, are you getting the flow and coverage you expected?

  • @MatHelm
    @MatHelm 6 лет назад

    You should try Sketchup. It's a FREE modeling CAD program that you can design anything with. For instance, I've modeled everything from a little Arduion board, to my entire property here (including all the underground pipes, wire, and drains. Even the septic tank). The trick is to get as exact a measurements as possible. Then you can test new ideas, move furniture around, or just use the model to check a measurement without having to go out and check it again...
    On your sprayer there. I think I would have used a couple pieces of 2x4 to set the tank on. But with your althread rods, you should think about adding some rubber tubing on them to keep them from wearing through the plastic tank.

    • @lawnrebel
      @lawnrebel  6 лет назад

      That rubber tubing is in the plan. Just have not got around to it. Someone else suggested that. That's a must for sure. I did not want added weight with something bigger like a 2x4. With the 12 gallon tank it's flipping heavy

  • @toddh6234
    @toddh6234 3 года назад

    Nice, I would probably pull this instead pushing (or mount to yard cart) to avoid having the product blown back on me or walking through it. You have an high end spreader and I wouldn't want to mess that up.

    I was wondering why you had the "TEEJET XRC EXTENDED RANGE FLAT SPRAY TIPS Color Red" (XRC11004-VS) and the "TEEJET AIC AIR INDUCTION FLAT SPRAY TIP & CAP Color Red" (AIC11004-VS). Are they both needed or just choose one or the other?

    • @lawnrebel
      @lawnrebel  6 лет назад

      The air induction tips are for products that are soil applied like a pre emergent or a pesticide bug control product. These tips spray a coarse droplet. The other fan tips spray a fine mist and are for foliar applied products like plant growth regulator, liquid iron or some micros.

  • @heinzkitzvelvet
    @heinzkitzvelvet 6 лет назад

    I'm concerned about the cost of the spreader itself. It was over $500 on Amazon last time I checked. Could you possibly recommend a more budget friendly spreader that is sturdy enough to handle the 110+ pounds of weight you have there?
    I wonder if a little Radio Flyer pull wagon, or something along those lines, could handle the weight? It doesn't necessarily HAVE to be a spreader, does it?
    My spreader is too flimsy to handle the weight and yours is too expensive for me.

  • @Dierks48

    I've built almost the same setup as what you've got, but I'm finding that I'm blowing the 7.5A fuses in-line between the battery and pump when it turns on. Did you have to bump up the size of the fuses? The pump has a max amps of 17A but the cables that came with the battery tender only have a 7.5A fuse in-line...

    Very nice work but poor design in that you are spraying ahead of the path you walk. Best if spray is behind you. Whether fertilizer or herbicide, you certainly don't want to walk over what you just sprayed.

That said, I commend you for your inventiveness. Changes I would make would be to use a wheel barrow to mount the tank or a hand truck that might be less cost than the spreader you used.

    Very nice and I like how you make it look professionally done as opposed to just slapdash throwing it together with baling wire and duct tape. One possible upgrade I can think of...for a winter project you could remove the push handles and add a tongue to the spreader so that you could pull it behind your zero turn or lawn tractor. The on/off switch would have to be moved, but that would be no big deal.

  • @feds27

    Nicely done. Suggestion, maybe rotate the tank 180 so the pump is on the backside of the axle also maybe move the battery behind the tank. This should help with the balance and tipping forward. Nice touch with the quick release to remove the boom.

  • @richardgleason5953
    @richardgleason5953 4 года назад

    Nicely done. I assume you have a constant, repeatable ground (walk) speed? It would certainly easier to use on flat turf as opposed to some hills. Also, with all day long usage, does your walking speed may change due to tiredness.

  • @icepigeon
    @icepigeon 6 лет назад

    Connor, you inspired me to build a smaller, 3 nozzle version of this boom sprayer to sit in my Earthway spreader. I have a question on the battery..... How did you decide on the amp hours of the battery? I see your pump pulls a max of 17 amps, so are you thinking you should get an hour of spraying before you need to recharge? Also, after using your sprayer, are you satisfied with your battery choice?

    • @lawnrebel
      @lawnrebel  6 лет назад

      yes I am satisfied with the battery choice. I really did not put a whole lot of thought into the battery. It was only like 30$ so I figured that if it works for a few years then I would be good and then I could get a new one. I just wanted to get a batter with the most amp hours without spending too much money. I have never run out of battery when using it. I have 20 sq ft of lawn and it has not failed me yet. This could be because it is new and on its first season. I do however keep it on the batter tender when I am not using it so it is always at full charge when not in use.

    Great Idea! Why did you leave the hopper on?

    How's the spreader handling the additional weight from the sprayer, despite being rated for 80#?

      Great question. It is handling it quite well actually.

      Knee high chemical resistant rubber boots. Rinse them off when you're done.

    Hmm I only have 7k lawn and may build a smaller one. Love the consistent pattern over a backpack sprayer.

    I tried downloading your parts list, but it says it has been put in the trash by its owner. Do you have an updated version?

      That's weird. Email me wardconnor@hotmail.com
