Hagen Brothers farms,Goodrich ND | When I still used a soap foam marker on the trailer sprayer,I built my own bubbler tank foamer with a tank for each boom. It had no liquid or air pumps or solenoid valves with the necessary switches/fuses/plugs/wiring to run them. I used a turbo charged tractor to pull the sprayer, where I plumbed boost air pressure from the intake manifold to a pair of 1/2 inch ball valves in the cab to route air through 1/2 inch sprayer hose to the right or left foamer bubbler tanks. From the bubbler tank, foam was routed to the end of the boom through 1-1/2 inch plastic sprayer hose. This thing was as simple and reliable as an anvil. Hardware PVC parts cost to build the thing was under $100 and worked reliably for 5-6 years. I only replaced it with peacock foam markers where you only have to mess with changing a foam tank every 600-1000 acres with foam that lasts for 6-24 hrs and no air/liquid pumps. Have since replaced both foamer types with EZ guide plus light bars. If you need a reliable foam marker Steve,come over and look at my old one,and the EZ guide plus lightbar.
