What happens here
The presenter guides through the Ag Spray MC90 sprayer's features. He shows the three control tabs (valves) that engage the spray, a gray knob to adjust the PSI (pounds per square inch), and a pressure gauge visible from the tractor cab. He demonstrates opening the rear window of the tractor for convenient access to these controls. The sprayer is connected to the tractor via a three-point hitch and is powered by the tractor's PTO (Power Take-Off) through a PTO-driven pump. It includes a return line and can hold approximately 90 gallons of liquid. A long-range ergonomic handheld handgun (wand) is also shown, coiled on the side of the sprayer.
Goal: Understand the operational features and connections of the sprayer.
