Been waiting for a few more parts ordered. It actually took a bit of time to figure out how to mount the double nozzle bodies and build the body mounts to get full, even coverage. One of the new Delevan pumps went out and had to get a replacement. Not sure what happened. We are in the final stages though. Almost completed. The main shaft on the mill my asst runs broke. It was manufactured in 1920 so no replacement. He had to make another 16 inch shaft from scratch. That killed two days. The mill was used on the nozzle body mounts so that there would always be a little adjustment available for coverage depending on nozzle selection. I have plumbed and finished all of the hosing to the nozzle bodies from the solenoids. There is well over 100ft of hose fished around on this machine. As of now, there will only be a manual gate control used until the electronic control is fabricated and tested. This has to start doing apps very soon.

Hadn't really seen anything that would work. The boom is 1 3/4 tubing and the twin nozzle bodies needed to be lined up front to back.

I just got a killer deal on a used Toro Spraymaster LTS. It will soon be the most sophisticated lean to steer out there! We have big plans for that little buggy! Everyone that has wondered how to have auxiliary sprayers on the LTS will see the solution. We needed to replace our small machine for gated and tight yards, and I bought a 2020 with 70 hours on it for 6000.00. Almost new condition.

Ran the booms today with the new configuration. Nice curtain. Controller mounted at the top. Don't care for the expensive on/off/momentary switches. Should have bought the Carlyle's. Might spend more and replace.

Are you planning on tailoring your turf program towards a mainly liquid application?

Yes, or possible a hybrid program of liquid micro and organic compounds and spoon feeding granular nitrogen.

It's producing a 12 foot spray curtain.

Does that match the spreader width?

I'll match it up with the potentiometer on the spreader motor.
