Macon, IL | I have a setup I like-made to quick attach booms for 4 wheeler. One is 12.5ft-which (6 nozzle-5 row) I use for field touch ups-and for home yard and one other yard. Nozzles line up between rows-so nice for spraying beans-until too tall for 4 wheeler. Parents and landlords have too many trees so I use the 6ft fimco boom with 18 inch breakaways. Can load it in pickup with out detaching boom.
12.5 ft boom is just made out of heavy PVC. Remove it and slide it in pickup.
Put quick attaches on hoses so it takes me 2 mins to switch booms.
I bought the Fimco 25 gallon tank, and put on a 3.5 gpm pump. The littel 2 gpm was weak for big boom-5 gallon per minute I think I would have to go too fast with small boom to keep rate. I like to use about 10-12gpa on everything. I can spray a 2 acre lawn at a resonable speed and come out within a gallon or so every time.
I use regular nozzle bodies and flat fan on both booms like regular sprayer so can just go to shed and grab parts if anything breaks.
Here is pic of small boom:
