  • New Skid Sprayer Build
    I prefer to build my own skid sprayers. I have a local company put the frame work together and mount the tank but i do everything else. I like to be able to plumb them the way i want. It is also cheaper to do it this way.
    Thanks for watching!

    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.

      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.

    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.

    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.
