Vineyard Sprayer
I have been making a custom vineyard sprayer for a friend of mine near Saratoga NY this week. This is a trailer model of the basic vineyard sprayers I have made the last few years. One of the boys did the welding this time and he is very good at it. We have been told we should make these to sell. LOL. That's what we have done with the last few. Thought some of you guys might like seeing what we make.
Just a few shots for now.

Looks good Rich!
Road worthy for sure. What do you use to pressurize the tank?

That is a 4 roller Hypro pump on the front. It is made for a tractor pto. We could put a small gas engine on it to do the same thing. The others we made were tractor 3 point hitch models.

Way cool. I love to weld. Made a thumb for my backhoe and now I am on to forks! I bought a little 15 gallon sprayer for the back of the ATV because that is all I need for 30 vines. Nice work!

Rich, the sprayer is beautiful. I would think there would be a good market for it up there near the Finger Lakes.

Looks great! I agree it could be marketable, what does he spray that he wanted it for?

The one above the guy picked up today is for about 5 acres of wine grapes. They are mostly Marquette and LaCrescent. The guy has been using a small spot sprayer from Tractor Supply while the vines were young. He decided to step up to a full sprayer and wanted a tow behind model.
Here is one of a 3-point hitch design we have made a few of. The booms are adjustable for width and the nozzles can be adapted to different training systems.

Nice! I bought a tow behind last year from Tractor Supply for my lawn and spratying for Japanese Beetles in our tress and flowers. Would have loved a small one from you.
