Thanks Jon. I believe it would. Here is a pic of the auxiliary hydrualic lines on the back my utility model. It would be just running a pump. http://agrimart.net/hypro-9303c-hydrualic-pump-9303c-hm5c/?gclid=CPqG097y-MgCFZJbfgodCyoHUA 200 gallons is a little much for the RTV to pull around considering a US liquid gallon of water weighs about 8.34 pounds. I could modify it down. The Scotch Broom will be coming back fast and furious nest spring. The ground is so uneven with the mulched up sticks and i need the wheel clearance with a high trailer. Thanks for you input it all is a big help getting to a final solution.
Spraying from the RTV?

JonParker, you are right ! that rose is terrible but even worse down here is the wild lemon tree. Those are so prolific and those thorns are massive. I imagine you have them too (Jon Parker). Both of those invasive plants were imported by man from "over yonder".
David My small sprayer (the 60 gallon one pictured below) was powered by a gas engine and a 4 roller pump that I adapted. no hydraulics. My boomless boom would cover 26-28 ft if I remember right. My tractor pulled sprayer is powered by the pto and put out a greater volume which is what I needed for pasture . Round up is a contact so you could go pretty fast with it in a sprayer like the small one.
I ran a hose with a cut off on it , up by my seat ,to control the spray - cut it on or off , when I went through gates or by trees. It was just a chemical hose between the pump and the boom. That is a really handy feature.
Also remember that the chemical mix will be most effective the same day you mix it up.
Have you consider a wick stick till you find what you need for sure? I have a good plan for a make your self one posted on here somewher haha. Is you weed greening up already or is it only in the ground still? collie

Collie,
Here is out 1,000 ground drive that we use....turn it on and off with the hydraulic cycling er on the tire. I mounted boom buster nozzles on the back also. I was told that (by the DuPont rep) that if we let the Honda pump run on the front and mix while we are spraying it will help break the molecules in the chemical down better.
I've also included a pic of my mist blower..I haven't used it yet but sprayed water out of it several weeks ago.

Nice rigs JonParker. 
My Dupont rep is really helpful too. (Mathew McGowan)
David,after the county agent, I would also check with your chemical supplier for good information. The folks at the co op are ok but the reps know there stuff up and down. collie

Really....REALLY...Nice rigs JonParker.....
Hey Miss BC....did you forget the pic you refer to above???
Our county ag fella is a true source of knowledge. He is part of the state dept of ag. Now, the fed guy, yes, a great source of money is a bit dubious on the HOW to do stuff unless it's in a bulletin. They do have great resources they bring to bear if they want. They flew a legume/erosion guy in from St. Louis to talk with us about our hillside pasture problems.....Lots of resoucesf out there if we just search it out and admit that we don't know everything.....God bless....Dennis

With it the shut off mode how do you keep pressure from building up where you could bust a line?
There is a feed back line on most all sprayers . Even the little 12 v ones. the liquid just flows back into the tank. This is a good idea because it keeps the chemical agitated . Just look for 2 hoses going into the tank. collie
Yeah, if it's a constant run pump it uses a pressure relief vavle to dump back to the tank.
The smaller volume 12V pumps are normally set up to cycle the pump off/on depending on demand. So when not spraying, pump isn't running.

On the 12v ones I've have...the pump would just kick itself on and off and only agitated when you turned another valve. I had an old 300 gallon (in pic...don't have anymore because tank cracked) but I rigged it with an electric valve wired into the 7 way plug on the back of the tractor. Since I was driving around spot spraying (you can see my boombuster nozzles on the back)...I didn't want to keep turning the pto on and off... I would keep the pto pump running all the time...and when the lights on the tractor were off it was spraying...when I kicked the lights on it would flip the electric valve and agitate only. I was not smart enough to figure this out...but I have a very smart brother about 1/8th mile down the street.

On my 12 v unit, there is a cheap water hose Y with those cut off built in. This could be closed all the way on the return side and would stop the recycling and increase pressure to the booom/wand. But, I leave mine open a bit if I want to to produce the recycling. With an on demand pump, the cut off isn't needed in my opinion. With a boom though, it is handy for going through gates etc or you could just flip a power switch and cut it off.( I made a console with switches and pigtails to power everything I add to the RTV) http://www.nettractortalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=14341&highlight=homemade+console
My larger 300 gallon sprayer , that is hooked to the tractor pto, is constantly agitated by the recycling of unused spray. I just use that handy lever by the seat to cut off the flow to the boom or wand. That way, as Jon stated, the pto isn't having to be cut on and off all the time.
All the time I am mixing up my chemicals, (certain order and timing is best they say) I have the flow lever by the seat in the off position. This way the pto is agitating the mix for me.- It just swirls around in the tank mixing well and powdered chemicals disolve befor going through the filter on the way to the nozzles. Not much worse than having a nozzle clog up in the field with all those chemicals backed up waiting to get on your hands... Always carry a pair of exam or rubber gloves with ya when spraying. collie

Well I bought this 200 gallon tank and hydraulic piston pump system. I works well with the RTV aux. hydraulics. Now to fine tune the plumbing for my needs. Most content with the hydraulics running the Hypro 5210 C pump. I notice it pulsates. It looks like I need to install a surge tank what ever that is?. and notice the jet agitator is not working at the bottom of the tank. Onward wagon trains!

That is a nice rig David. I know about zero when it comes to hydraulics although my Dad had a business with that. I shoulda paid attention.
Peanut or another member may be able to help you with suggestions.
Also I found most of the hydraulic stuff I use at Surplus Center - they have tons of stuff and a great time absorbing catalog.

Collie..the hydraulics work fine. it's the plumping for the spray system. These piston type pumps build an incredible amount of pressure plus they pulsate Don't want to blow lines. I have questions in my mind about the surge tank, the agitator and pressure relief value. What are these 2 items? I always enjoy your input

It's raining here so still in the house. I have similar looking one on my spray rig and it is a pressure regulator. I wind it and the water pressure goes up or down depending on I much I turn and direction. .. It appears that one is for the pressure of fluid going back into the tank and one for the wand or boom... but I am not sure . If they are closed off - preventing flow then that might possibly be why you have a surge?

sha zammm ! Maybe you can find a used one !
EDIT this may be an option on a place to look for the size you need... http://mkrittenhouse.com/us/hypro-surge-tank-pulsation-dampener and I think it is the same picture !! for 200 less ! hummmm
