[QUOTE="FC_Ranch, post: 119067, member: 21631"] I'm in the early stages of thinking about/ designing a skid steer sprayer to be used for spot spraying prickly pear. I do a lot of both spot spraying by hand and broadcast spraying on my ranch but I have a lot of cactus that are thicker than what I can do by hand but not thick enough that broadcast spraying would be wasteful. Some of my ideas on the sprayer are: 1. Between 25 and 50 gallon 2. Electric pump (12 v) with in cab control switch 3. Front bar that would push/damage the cactus before the spray hits them (this greatly improves the effectiveness of the spray) 4. Recirculation back pressure valve 5. 2 or 3 spray nozzles with manual valves allowing spray width to be selected I normally spray prickly pear with Surmount or the generic equivalent. I have a Kubota SVL-75-2 although this idea would work on almost any skid steer. Any ideas or thoughts on if this would work well or be practical? [/QUOTE]
