ATV-Mounted Sprayer Setup and Functionality

I TOTALLY SCREWED UP! Expensive FARM FAIL on the Homestead π¬ππ
What happens here
The farmer showcases his ATV-mounted Chapin sprayer, named 'Moe' (Mixes On Exit). He demonstrates how the smaller chemical containers can be easily attached and detached from the main water tank. He shows the quick-connect fitting for the chemical lines and the main spray wand. A red knob on the unit allows precise adjustment of the chemical-to-water ratio. He highlights the benefits of this system for spraying various substances (herbicides, insecticides, broadleaf killers, fertilizers) without cross-contamination or extensive cleaning between uses. He also points out the 'spot' and 'boom' settings for different spraying applications.
Goal: Understand and prepare an ATV sprayer for various farm applications.
