Need Suggestion

[GravelyGuy]

I'm going to have to mount my sprayer in the back of my truck this year instead of on a trailer. I had it like this for a while last year and I really hate having this bulky thing in my truck, but I have to be able to spray some lawns while I have my lawn trailer hooked up.

Do you guys have any suggestions as to how I can guide the hose so that it is easier to pull out when parked parallel to the curb and so that it doesn't scratch the sides of my truck. The reel is mounted on the back of my sprayer.

I also wanted to ask, I've seen a guy around town the has his 200 G sprayer mounted up on the front of his tandem axle trailer in front of the axle. This seems like way to much tongue weight unless the trailer is loaded with some weight towards the back. Could I get away with this? I don't do any highway driving and my trailer tongue is very strong.

Gravel,
try this Cox hose guide.

Or...turn the reel sideways. You probably will need a little work and welding to make a support bracket for it.
Let us know how you come out.

You can also mount the reel on the truck--with the front bolted to the fender and the back needs just a support bracket under it.

Thanks Riggle, that gives me some options. I'm going to have to look through those.
