Get rid of weeds around your property the easy way!

What happens here

Connect the power wires from the spray tank's pump directly to the UTV or ATV battery (typically a 12V system). The control switch for the pump is usually located near the operator's station for easy access. Flip the main power switch to turn on the pump. The pump will run until it builds up sufficient pressure (around 60-80 PSI) and then automatically cut off. To ensure the herbicide is uniformly mixed with the water, locate the smaller circulation valve or switch near the pump and activate it. This will cause the mixture to continuously circulate within the tank, preventing settling and ensuring consistent application. Keep this circulation active throughout your spraying process.

Goal: Connect the sprayer to the UTV/ATV battery, turn on the pump, and engage the circulation valve to thoroughly mix the herbicide within the tank before spraying.

so let's show you how it all works so this is the pump setup and you have a pressure gauge right here normally it runs somewhere in around the 60 psi mark 60 to 80 psi don't quote me on that but we're going to go ahead and turn it on so you got a wire that runs up it's a very long wire and you have some extensions on here it runs up and attaches to the battery here on the kubota x1140 and then our switch is right here near the operator station so we'll turn that switch on you can hear our pump start to run it builds up pressure and then it cuts off and we're stopping at about 60 psi now once you put whatever mixture you're going to use on your property to kill the weeds there is a little switch right here that allows it to circulate so in other words it's going to be tough to stir this once you put your mixture in but you flip this switch right here it's a little valve and that is circulating so that will help mix all of your weed killer in this 25 gallon container so my suggestion is keep that going all the time while you're spraying so that your mixture is thoroughly mixed now the second switch right here operates the boom in the back so we'll turn the boom on
