First I gotta give credit to MTF member bigblue12v (Eric) who suggested this idea, it got me thinking. I recently aquired this Bolens Estate Keeper a couple days ago. It runs and wont take much to drive but I have no use for it, I just wanted it because it's odd. Eric suggested making it a spray rig and I could actually use one, it would be handy. This is so cool and seems like it could be a cool sprayer. I kinda envisioned a front mounted boom and have a tow behind tank to hold the chemical. Only problem I am having is figuring out is having the chemical in a trailer towing behind with a way to get the fluid to the boom up front. Of course hoses would be used but I would have to have a quick disconnect at the hitch so I can unhook the trailer and also I would need a flexible joint or something at the hitch so it could turn and not bind up or have a bunch of slack right there that will drag the ground. Anyone have any suggestions? I appreciate any comments :thanku:

You could use one of those coiled garden hoses and have a series of metal loops to keep it off the ground.


This kind...

You've got it backwards. Hang the tank off the front, and put the boom on the back.

It's rear wheel drive; I'd expect that any sizeable tank would make it steer like a pig on ice.

I doubt it would if it was kept close enough. It's still better than sucking on spray.
