excellent overview! I'm converting a ibc tote into a sprayer and trying to figure out all the parts I need.

Thanks for showing this but I bought a larger century unit and it has tubes and valves everywhere. Trying to figure the thing out have never had this kind of sprayer before and the guy I got it from bought it at auction and never used it. Lol. So I gotta learn this thing somehow. I tried it and it works but has wires that goes to different places like a foam system and automatic shut off or something? 9

🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation: 00:21 🚜 *A farm sprayer consists of several key parts, and understanding them is essential for maintenance and operation.* 01:01 💧 *The tank holds the liquid (water, fertilizer, chemicals) and is mounted to the carriage, which connects to the tractor's three-point hitch.* 01:57 ⚙️ *Sprayers can have different types of pumps, such as roller pumps, which may run off the tractor's PTO.* 02:51 🌡️ *Pressure regulation is crucial for controlling spray volume, ground speed, and pressure. A pressure regulator helps adjust and maintain the desired pressure.* 04:00 ↩️ *The bypass hose ensures that any excess liquid not needed for spraying is recirculated back into the system, maintaining a closed-loop system.* 05:11 🔒 *An on-off valve controls the flow of liquid through the system, ensuring that no liquid accidentally drips when the system is off.* 05:38 ✋ *A diverter valve allows for spot spraying when needed, diverting liquid from the main boom to a handheld sprayer.* 06:07 🌿 *The boom distributes the spray evenly over a specific width, with options for different boom configurations and nozzle types.* 06:50 🚿 *Nozzles inside the fittings have strainers to prevent clogging, and different nozzle configurations are available for various spray outputs and applications.* Made with HARPA AI
