Re: (ET) Mounting a 26 Gal Spot Sprayer on an E-1

Hi
I too have an orchard and a small sprayer for the trees, I have my sprayer 
on a trailer. A 26 gal sprayer loader will weigh 260lbs, (water weight 10lbs 
per gal) so you are going pretty light on the front end, to the point where 
you will probably have trouble steering, add to this that most sprays if not 
all are oil based it get pretty slippy out in the trees. Also you will need 
to hose down your equipment when finished (in the orchard) (tractor and 
sprayer) after each application, another reason to keep the tractor away 
from the sprayer. Mounting your sprayer in a simple trailer and you will 
have room for the batteries and the unit and clean up will be easier and 
probably more satisfactory in the long run.

Just my 2 cents
