Congrats mike on going over 40k. You share so much great knowledge. Im working on my first 1k on my channel. I look at your stuff often. Thanks for sharing. Have a great week
He's okay. Ask him sometime about the night he took me to a seedy bar in downtown Springfield and I almost had to fight a large woman to get out the door. He could get you in a lot of trouble in his younger days :).
Just found your videos, Mike, and they’re all excellent! I’ve subscribed. I’ve acquired a used 3-pt. boom sprayer with a roller pump. The pump is ‘loose’ (i.e. not mounted on the sprayer frame), same as the one you show between 0:35 and 0:50 in this video; really good close-up of a loose roller pump with a mounting arm. I would LOVE to see detailed instruction on how to mount this properly. Mine does not include the lever arm; only a length of chain attached to the pump. (Somehow the previous owner must have made this work.) But I believe the lever arm is to anchor the pump and keep it from spinning with the PTO, and I think it’s supposed to mount on the draw bar (mine’s a Kub B-3300SU; so similar draw bar as in your “The Drawbar” video). I need to know the correct way to install the pump so that it isn’t damaged in use. Thank you for any help you can provide. And once again, excellent videos!!
Hey Mike. Just a note to say thanks for all your videos. I am hopefully going to be the new owner of a property in upstate NY (still need the final inspection of the farm house and then to close after that. fingers crossed!). And to say I am a "newbie" is an understatement. (like when the guy who I bought the property from told me that "a bush hog comes with the 8N" , not only didn't I know what a bush hog was, I wasn't sure what an 8N was. lol!!!). Anyhow, I just wanted to say that I appreciate that you take the time to show us everything related in the video no matter how simple it may seem to some. From safety (who knew a bush hog could throw debris so far??!!) to not just simply showing how and where to put grease, but also showing how to load the darn thing. If you've never done it, you just don't know! So with all that, just A BIG THANK YOU. ....the property is a 300 acre piece of land with a 2 acre spring-fed pond, a farm house, an 8 stall horse stable, a beautiful huge barn, streams, cliffs that border a 6 mile Adirondack glacier lake and all the work that goes with it! your videos have been priceless to me!! and again, crossing my fingers that I close on it in the next few weeks.
Hello mike just curious about the pump rotation. I have kubota B6000 with counterclockwise PTO rotation. Would that pump works with CCW PTO? Thank you...
Mike, I have a general question. Does it hurt the pto shaft with the weight of the pump being it a sprayer,hydraulic, or other type of pump onto the pto shaft? There is talk out there that the weight of a pump can lead to premature seal failure at the housing due to the weight of a pump onto the shaft without support. Any thoughts.
You nailed it...here's the response from Mark, the guy in the video who really like typing in all caps: MIKE, THAT WAS A 3 POINT 200 GAL 28’BOOM, 36’ BOOMLESS SPRAYER WITH THE BETTER PUMP AND DELUXE HANDGUN. $3495.00.
I've got a 3pt mounted 50 Gallon Sprayer tank with no boom or pump on it. I bought it for just watering the garden but often thought of adding a pump and boom. I wonder if it would be cost effective to build it up or just buy a new sprayer.
I'm going to guess you'd be better off cost-wise getting a whole new sprayer. Plus, you may want to keep one sprayer for watering and one for pesticides. Watering out of a sprayer that has had pesticides and hasn't been thoroughly cleaned could damage plants.
