How To Build A Sprayer Yourself

[@bryankirchgestner6943]

This is the first time listening to you, and I want to say it was absolutely wonderful to hear you pray for everyone that was involved with the sirens. Give God the Glory.

[@jodynichols6146]

This is why I love your channel letting people know how much you appreciate all the things in life and showing just how much you love OUR GOD to take 2secs to pray for the emergence responding units for safety. God bless you Pete. This country needs more people like you. Hard working that doesn’t brag and a man that loves OUR GOD.

[@GCITurf]

I made it a habit years ago that whenever I see or hear an ambulance I stop what i am doing and pray over that situation. I FIRMLY believe God hears the prayers and he will work in each situation according to His will.

[@jodynichols6146]

Absolutely I to believe that with all my heart.

[@djfoti01]

I love when you do the “pro” style of videos. We are getting off the ground this year with our first skid sprayer and it’s awesome to see the growth potential when a business is being ran the way that you do. Keep up the great work. Hopefully you’ll make more of these types of videos!

[@junkyardsgarage]

I’ve been watching you for a while but have never commented until now. Mr Pete, I admire the way that you stopped and prayed for the emergency personnel and how you make sure to give glory to God! You sir, are truely an inspiration and blessing to those who watch you!

[@tomboyle7901]

Brother Pete , I am building a DYI sprayer right now . Thanks so much for taking the time to teach me . I have a couple of questions . I am using the sprayer to spay my cold weather pasture for my horses . I am planting a mix of oat grass, rye grass , wheat grass and clover . 1. what do I use for a pre emergent on 1. What do use for a pre emergent on the pasture ? 2. Do I put it out before or after I seed ? 3. How high does the grass need to be before I spray for weeds . 4. I am going to seed for Bermuda grass for pasture in the spring . Do you recommend seeding it with a hydro mulch , a seed drill , springing the grass or a broadcast sprayer ? Can I put a pump in the tank and use it to power the spray nosals . Will a 12 volt pump work or power the pump off a generator? That’s for the help. Keep sharing the Good news . God’s word will not return void ! Jesus is the way the truth and life.

[@T1up4me12385]

My favorite part of this is honoring God, the electrical tape safety feature and the Udor pump 😁

[@ralvis20]

Do you think you could make a list of all these parts? I'm trying to do this with an IBC tote. Thanks!

[@davidharris3823]

Interesting, I have an agriculture tow behind with a boom, 3 lines are going to the boom, right, left and center. My set up doesn't come with a hose reel but has a spot to add one. I wonder how to hook such plumbing up?

[@Chuy00quiles]

Incredible human being. Can’t get enough of these types of videos. Keep it up Pete! Can you show us how you use this on a yard or field?

[@GCITurf]

yep...that video loads tomorrow night and then another saturday morning my friend

[@Chuy00quiles]

GCI Turf Services thank you sir.

[@ColonelK0rn1]

I love watching things like this come together! Thanks for sharing with us who don't spray for a living.

[@eliuselarom5651]

Awesome video sir. I'm wanting to build my own sprayer. Do you know or Anybody knows a good control module for a three way sprayer? Something that i can use from inside the cab to activate the boom spayer??? Thanks for any info. God bless you all.

[@KylesLawnCare]

Cool to see all the equipment and knowledge god has blessed you with! You truly are an inspiration to a younger guy like me! Thank you for all you do Pete!

[@scottvest1936]

Hey Pete where did you get your parts from to piece that beauty together?

[@lakersmaniac8]

Would be awesome to see you do a version of this but on a smaller scale for home owners. Kinda like a atv boom sprayer but better quality and maybe mountable to a mower.

[@scottsummers6541]

Pete, that blue shirt from Kentucky looks great on you! Go Wildcats! (much better looking than that Tar Heel baby blue!)

WOW, I WAS JUST TALKING TO 2 DETROIT OFFICERS LAST NITE, ABOUT THIS SUPER COOL DUDE , THAT LOOOOOOOOVES 2 TALK ABOUT GOD, GRASS,AND 👮COPS THANX PETE, GOD BLESS U BRO.

[@TheDragonJLB]

Where do you get the pump from??

[@TheBartman55]

Can you give specifics on the pump. gph ft of head etc? Thanks

[@ctlandscapemaintenancesolu494]

just wondering if you think th 300 psi udor zeta pump would be much different i never used any of them just was thinking to get the one thats rated to spray chlorine for house washing too

[@jasonspearsofficial]

Did you custom spec your frame or did you purchase it premade from a supplier?

[@joebernier3564]

What tips can you give to someone who is looking to built his first skid sprayer for pest control and termite . Thank you in advance

[@44SSM]

Just a question but here in Tx we have to fill tank from the top with an air break to prevent backflow. Is that not a stipulation there?

[@devinrudloff]

44SSM same here in Indiana. Air gap is a state law

[@sonycrack1]

Hey Mr Pete! That’s a mighty fine sprayer!

[@UltimateMMAFan83]

great video and Thank you for not being afraid of speaking for Jesus! I struggle with knowing about the pressure regulator and bypass valves. i get confused on that

[@bobbg9041]

ok I wasn't looking for a system this big. But man this guy didn't cut any corners. Got somthing I can hang off the back or pull behind my lawn tractor?

[@rbljackson]

Pete, im a newer applicator and currently do not have a skid sprayer. I have a 60 gallon tank ready to go, do you think you could post links to the equipment you used in this video and maybe a good source for obtaining the items? I thought maybe I would just buy a pre assembled unit at first, but now im thinking maybe I can save some $$$ buy building one myself. Im focusing on small to medium sized yards and hope to calibrate to 2 gallons per 1k. That would get me to 30k of areas to spray which is enough for a starter. i can also use it as a nurse tank for my gas powered backpack sprayer and walking boom set up Thanks for this type of video....very helpful for a newer applicator like myself.

[@hendrymuljadi739]

Pete, I second this request

[@hoosierhillslawncare]

Pete, I know this is an older video but it looks like you’ve got your chemlawn gun on a pressure washer style quick detach, is this just for ease of rebuilding/maintenance or is there another reason?

[@brett2k07]

Forgive my ignorance...on the exhaust deflector, is there a reason you put it facing up instead of down?

[@braedavis1005]

Hey Pete, what is the ballpark of your cost building that sprayer? Sorry if you a answered this already lol thx

[@chadfleming8234]

Love it Pete! Work smarter not harder!

[@gregbunch7520]

Thanks for the video.... only thing I see is that if the exhaust is turned up like that will it fill with rain water?

[@GCITurf]

Greg Bunch it drains as fast as it fills

[@ronhart4166]

Mr Pete how do you guys fill those big tanks? Like deep wells or what. Seems like it would take forever. Love the idea of the skid tank also. Would make for easy swap overs if you had truck issues.

[@robwright3064]

Awesome setup Pete! Would love to build my own boom sprayer with a 30-40 gallon tank I could sit in the back of a UTV/gator/Kubota type machine.

[@GCITurf]

I have that video coming soon

[@ripnfilms]

Was literally about to get a ride on sprayer but I think it makes more sense to get the skid as our first real spray purchase. Thank you for the tips. Do you offer consulting on a tall fescue program?

[@chef2043]

Keep preaching brother

[@timothyphelix1842]

Hey Pete, Could you please point me in the right direction for someone to build the skid and mount the tank for us. We would like to build a skid and start a small business in VA.

[@c_turfgrass7773]

Will you put that on a flatbed or in a pickup? Love the frame design!

[@brianfitzpatrick8448]

I’m looking to build a 1500 gallon tank. Any help?

[@andrew1762]

Great set up. How much did that cost? Great channel, keep it up. God bless.

[@GCITurf]

I will find the receipts tomorrow and let you know...the office has all that stuff

[@emthompson10]

GCI Turf Services following. I am very interested in the fittings. Was the frame built for you or did you fabricate it?

[@justinlentini2474]

Hey Pete did you weld that up yourself?

[@tylerrhoton9983]

Did you start with and get the bare tank and skid from h&h and buy the components separate?

[@GCITurf]

Bought the components myself. I build my Sprayer’s myself

[@tylerrhoton9983]

@@GCITurf thanks! I'm thinking of doing this for the farm to try to save some $. Skid sprayers are very expensive

[@mattberoth7991]

Pete, you a good man! Just an observation, wouldn’t turning that muffler deflector upward correct rain water and rust your muffler out?

[@dailyDIYdude]

Matt Beroth good observation

[@GCITurf]

Great eyes....we rarely and most of the time do not spray in the rain. We also keep the spray trucks under roof when we are not using them...also if one is not under roof we put a tarp over the motor and pump area.

[@DougKremer]

It's just a flange that mounts to the muffler housing, there are plenty of gaps and cracks to let any rain fall out.

[@adamisherwood7776]

Where do you by your sprayer parts from?

[@Simon-Springer]

Where would someone order all of these parts.

Pete, you don't get enough credit as a businessman.

why not use a boomless broadcast sprayer on your lawn equipment? skid sprayers seem like a lot of investment with no apparent advantage? not hating just asking.

[@GCITurf]

[@DougKremer]

Love the skid sprayer Pete! I'm happy to see some larger scale stuff featured recently.

[@patrickt.7338]

2 gallons per 1k ... Wow. Is there a reason why that is the rate for your commercial side but your recommended rate with the GCI sprayer Nozzle assembly is half a gallon per 1k?

[@GCITurf]

Yes sir... the whole reason for the DIY sprayer is so the DIY guy can be efficient...most DIY guys wont drop $5K on a commercial grade skid sprayer so i came up with a miniature "version" of that set up..... The gallon per 1000 is not the focus here.....being efficient with your time is....does that make sense?

[@patrickt.7338]

100%. Appreciate the clarification. Spraying my 10k sq ft with the sprayer nozzle assembly in just a few minutes is welcomed for sure.

[@GCITurf]

@@patrickt.7338 yep....we use and have been using that exact design for about 5-6 years now...we will use it in remote areas that we can not get a sprayer in real easy...I also have been using it in my yard because a lot of the times i am just to tired to bring a spray truck home LOL
