The Ultimate Spray Rig! Get rid of driveway weeds fast!

What happens here

To prepare the spray rig for operation, extend the boom wings. This is done by simply pulling a pin located on the main frame, lifting the wing outwards until it aligns with a secondary hole, and then re-inserting the pin to lock it in the extended position. A twist knob is then used to further secure the wing. This process can be done on both sides to achieve a full 14-foot spray width, or partially for narrower areas like driveways. The design allows the wings to fold compactly for storage.

Goal: Extend the spray rig's boom wings for wide coverage.

Tools and materials

  • 30-foot tape measure — To measure the full width of the boom when extended
  • NorthStar 100-gallon spray rig NorthStar — The main spray unit with boom wings
  • Pin — To lock the boom wings in place
  • Twist Knob — To secure the boom wings once extended

or speed it up now we're going to fold out the wings i call them the wings on this thing it's very very simple they're all held together with a pin system and a little twist knob it takes about two minutes to unfold this thing into its full width we are not going to use the full width going down the driveway we're just going to use partial width and when we get to the big part of the driveway right here we may go ahead and open it all the way up and right around the big part of the driveway this thing is huge man if you're using it for spray for like weed killer for broadleaf or something like that in your pastures this is a great solution for that guy that has five to ten acres or something like that and doesn't want to spend that huge amount of money to get the big old rig to pull behind your tractor so let's unfold her out and show you how it works all you do is simply pull a pin right here you lift up out it comes you drop the pin in it's spring loaded and it just falls into place twist the knob right here give her a couple twists let it all the way out and twist it back this thing is made of good high quality materials and they're shut off valves for each individual section right here pretty cool so again we're going to lean this pull the pin lift her up and out drop our pin back into place it locks into place and then we'll fold out our other arm all right we're going to take our 30 foot tape and we're going to go ahead out here and measure it yeah a full 14 feet now that means it could probably spray about a 16 foot swath because each one of the spray nozzles continues to spray out to the side just a little bit it's a spray width of about that wide say about two and a half to three feet so 14 foot boom on there and it folds up into a pretty small little package here right around 36 inches so
