Small weed sprayer

[Paul Allwood]

I've had this tank and pump for about 20 years and used to tow it behind a ride on mower. The mower no longer exists and the small trailer that it was on want really worth modifying. So I made a frame so I can pick it up with the three point hitch.

A bigger tank would be better now that we can pick it up with the three point, but this is the one I've got.

The grass and weeds had stopped growing but they obviously haven't heard that we're coming into winter and the cape weed has taken off. If you go outside at night and it's quiet, you can hear it grow.









This is what we call capeweed in Australia. Don't know if it's the same in the US or Canada.

Are you serious?

Nice sprayer with the three point hitch. You are getting more and more use out of this tractor. Do I remember correctly that you wrote once you do not really need a tractor?

Haha, thanks. Yeah, something like that might have slipped out once. But I was fairly quickly corrected. It's a pretty handy thing, and I really love making things for it.

Way cool




Your pic reminded me of that “kayak” ad that I like…….

And with floor stands, holder for the hand sprayer and everything. Looks really good.

Do you have electrical connections on the back of your tractor? I want to add that on mine now for the trailer and I will put in one or two outputs switched from the dashboard too.

I like the way you attached the nozzle brackets to the boom. I broke the boom on my bigger sprayer and need to repair/make a new one. I think I will steal borrow that idea. I have a very similar sprayer I use for spot spraying. It rides in the loader bucket

Thanks - I made the pan brake a few years ago. Needed something to fold thin stainless steel to make a range hood for our kitchen.

Thanks Dan. Steal or borrow away - I feel honoured.

I was thinking of adding a switched 12V socket at the back.

Nice setup. Does the tank have nuts molded in the bottom to attach it to your frame? Might want some type of plug in the ends of the tubing to keep wasp/critters out.
