Ranger Super Sprayer Project

[Russ81]

Had a fifty gallon spray tank laying around that was collecting dust. Decided to make a pallet stand for it to fit snug in the bed of my ranger.

The tank


Was just going to bolt the old stand to the pallet but its bulky and heavy and made the whole thing top heavy. It had too go


Platform in progress of being built

New platform the tank will sit on. This also give the tank lower COG but I can still access the fittings




Mock up looks promising

Why not cut a hole in the pallet to route your plumbing?

Should be able to make it work and still get a forklift in.

looks very unbalance sitting on that small platform, just my .02

The way our forklift operators are around here, I didn't want to chance it. The base is screwed into the pallet and are 4x4's braced by 2x4's. once I get screws to hold the straps it's going nowhere.

Good job!

The beast is done, BBQ tater then brush killing time!

I see you are going to be hand spraying. I guess you are spot spraying vs. using a boom for total coverage. I need to kill the bitterweed, etc. on my horse pasture, this might be motivation!
Great job!

[Russ81]

Bitter weed I'd say go and rooster tail or boomless. I'm spraying mainly brush and tallow trees

[bowmansdad]

Thanks for the advice. My brother has a sprayer so I'm going to make a boom that will fit in the Ranger hitch.
