1. Excellent! Very simple and I already have most of the parts including the UTV! Thanks for sharing...
2. I have a guy now that Sparys my food plot with round up every year and cost me $250 that does not include arrest max in my clover plot. So I will be doing this and will save.
3. Two Comments:
   1) I had a problem with only a straight p.v.c. pipe, going down inside my barrel. A vorticees formed and the pump could not pull water up or out vertically, nor prime the pump. After installing a 90* elbow at the bottom of the p.v.c. pipe, it solved the vorticees problem. I also taped a piece of screen on the end of that elbow, as a filter to protect the pump and spray nozzles from debris.
   2) The pump I bought from Harbor Freight draws 9 AMPS. The cigarette lighter plug/fuse (factory installed) was unable to take the high amperage, so the fuse blew. I suggest extending the pump's electrical wiring to 6 ft., use the same alligator clips to hook onto the battery, and install an "On/Off" switch in the middle. That should protect the pump and save battery power.
4. This system has no wand for spot spraying, no pressure control and very uneven output. By the time a guy buys all the parts and figures out how to assemble, will cost more than a $100. Not everyone has an expensive side by side to build around either. Then figure the real cost, the chemicals wasted.
   If a guy understands how a sprayer works, knows what they need it to do, and is frugal, just build a system from actual sprayer parts that will cost more but will be serviceable for much longer and will output evenly. Most ppl will have a riding lawn mower to build around, a trailer is a way to go. If U own a quad, even better. Engineer around what U have.
   The $10 tank is great though. Can build a boom that will plumbs naturally using a manifold system made for the pump in this video with connections for an indispensable wand for spot spraying. I actually put together 2 sprayers for the farm last summer when everything was on sale, cheaper than I could build it.
5. Best home made job I've seen so far. Hopefully I can find a plastic tank small enough for my atv. 55ga would kill my little 250.
6. I purchased a 3/4 inch female pvc connector for the pvc pipe with the pump I used in the video I had to buy 1/2 to 3/4 galvanized fitting to connect to the hose. if you buy a pump that is already set up to a garden hose it is much easier. you can get them for 50.00 or less at Harbor Freight.
7. how do you connect the hose to the pump and the pvc.  looking at making this but I think I am thinking about it too hard.
8. how much cost that POLARIS you driven ?? $8,799.00 ?
9. Fantastic job!
10. Thanks Rush Limbaugh!
11. certain chemicals require a spraying license to use like lv4
12. How do you power the pump?  Wanting to make one for our farm and didn't know if I needed any special attachments for the pump to give it power.
13. What kind of nozzles are those? Can I just pick them up at Home Depot/ Lowes or something? Never seen them before.
14. Thanks for watching and the Safety Tip MrSorry775.
15. Why didnt you have your seatbelt on
