Nice setup on the sprayer!!

Question for those of you with the boom sprayers. When running, do you have any issues with the spray hitting the back of the RTV (in either calm or windy conditions)? If so, have you had any issues with corrosion or otherwise? Just wondering if something like a real wide mud flap to protect the rear of the RTV would be beneficial. In Kevin's mounting system, I'm thinking of a rubber flap that would attach to the top of the vertical channels and hang down to the lowest horizontal bar

What type of sprayer is it and what was the cost? I need to get one for my Montana place to spray weeds.

It is a Fimco and the tank,pump,15ft hose and wand and wire with battery clips and inline switch all came together and it was $131 at my local farm supply store.

What size is the tank? 15 Gal? I would like a model number and name of the store if you have them since this looks like the one I would like to have. Was the spray arm mounted on the back extra?</P>

It is a 25 gal. and everything mounted on the back I made myself several years ago for a 4wheeler.
Here's a link to Farmtek where you could order the sprayer.

The site you referred me to looks like it is a lot more expensive, I googled Fimco and found a whole bunch. I guess the difference is the GPM. What is yours? The price you paid looks like the 25 Gal. with a little over 1GPM? Any help would be appreciated Thanks.</P>

Yes mine is the 1 gpm unit,I may need to switch to smaller tips in the boom to keep up the pressure I want but my old tank and pump put out less than 1.5 gpm and did a good job.
