Build your own DIY 55 Gallon No Drip Regulated Yard and Garden Sprayer on the cheap!

[@SnowRaver-p2v]

What an awesome idea! I'm not terribly handy so I wanted to buy a small 15Gal tank pump sprayer and add a boom sprayer to it. This really shows some great ideas for doing just that!

[@straifus3742]

I had the need for something similar, and found myself with essentially the same result. I appreciate that you are a maker and seem keen on recycling. Cheers mate

Great project bro ! I came across this video after trying out a 3 gallon electric pump sprayer I purchased in Costco. It was discounted to $44 and that’s what is worth. Blain’s is selling the Roundup brand of the same sprayer for $133. Not worth it ! I love your project ! You have a nice switch, a pressure gauge, two spray options , and it’s powerful enough to cover some serious acreage ! Thanks for sharing your ideas !

Bravo Zulu! I need a simple build for effecient spraying of food plots.

Thank you

Wow thanks for sharing! Im going to spray around 5 hectares of mesquite with remedy and diesel in water (emulsion) will build something similar to this!!!

Great video! Appreciated!

I already have a sprayer so it's too late for me but yours would be much easier to store. What would you put the total build cost at not including the trailer?

[@1D10CRACY]

Right around $100. The most expensive thing was the pump, I payed $47 for it from Rural King. Some stuff I already had.

So I gather you are pumping liquid (not air pressuring tank to push liquid). Do you just let the pump run and let the regulator/relief valve handle return of excess or do you turn off switch periodically - thinking whether adding expansion tank would be helpful or not. Thanks. BTW, notice the cub cadet. I still have old Cub 1811 my grandfather had (but it needs PTO replacement to be reliable).

[@1D10CRACY]

Yup, we are moving liquid, not air. And I turn the switch off when I do not want to be spraying and turn it back on when I do. :D Technically I don't have a Cadet, though I always thought they were cool! The cadets were all smaller garden tractors. The only thing the Lo Boys share are the colors. :)

How did you connect the filter and the pressure relief valve to the PVC pipe through the 3/4 inch insert coupler? Also what size PVC tubing did you use?

[@expatconn7242]

I like the idea . I plan on using the 5 gallon bucket of green goblin . I don’t have t tractor or grandpas cart . How much was the liquid gauge? You listed all the parts ? I don’t was to miss anything . Ty

[@chadhutchison5932]

How did you connect cables to pump ?.. wouldn’t you need a converter ?

[@1D10CRACY]

The pump is just 12 volts, so it can be connected directly to the 12 volt battery.

[@robertalaimo6097]

Where did you find the rocker switch with the magnetic back. I have searched a lot of online sites and no one seems to have this switch. Your answer will be much appreciated thanks

[@1D10CRACY]

It was just a magnet I found that I zip tied the switch too.

[@robertalaimo6097]

who did you purchase the rocker switch from?

[@1D10CRACY]

Not sure I know, it was probably something I found in my parts collection. It looks like a contura switch, something like this: amzn.to/3wZHzmq

Hello good sir. I'm looking for this exact thing. I want to use it to make a tank full of salt water for killing weeds that keep growing in a long pea rock driveway that doesn't get daily use. Would you possibly be interested in making a build series for this? Something I could follow along to do myself. I'm not incredibly knowledgeable when it comes to the wiring and such. I'm pretty crafty, but I don't think this is a task I could take on with no instruction. I would be willing to pay you for such a series.
