Very nice , I like how you made it fold to store.
Joe, I saw your thread about trying to make Brett jealous, I’m jealous of both of your machines, they look great. Then again my 425 has 17 years of work experiences on those fancy new X7s.How many GPM are your guys sprayers? I see that a lot of them are 3 GPM sprayers and there is one local that is a 1.3 GPM. I am trying to decide if you guys really run them wide open to get the 3 GPM or if you only open them part way and are running about 1.3 GPM like this one will do. How quickly do you guys run around the yard with these? I want one with a boom on it, so I am wondering if the boom would require more than the 1.3 GPM output that this one would do.
Brett,The documentation for mine says the pump shut-off is at 70 PSI, it has no gauge so I can't verify that. It runs 2.5 GPM and I run about 3.0 to 3.5 MPH and one 26 Gal tank covers my 2.75 acres with some left over to spare.
I only run one tip (that's the way they designed it) but the one broadcast tip does 14/16 foot of coverage.
I love your boom setup, I just was worried I'd forget to collapse the boom on an off the shelf model and that would be the end of my boom days. Your setup looks like if you were to whack something they would fold in, to prevent damage. You did a fantastic job on that boom setup!
Where did you get the tips at?
