  I built this 4430 with front tank and 60' booms to match the equipment we use on the farm. The tank and hitch are from Moore's. The booms were cut off an Ertl pull type NH trailer sprayer, and then I added a bit of styrene to attach the adapter to. |

How'd you build it? Take it off of an old sprayer and put it on Moore's 3 point?

Quinton, this is not used on the tobacco. It's used on the soybeans and sometimes the cotton. He added a new 6700 JD sprayer for the cotton acres this year. In prior years, this rig had been used on the cotton. For the tobacco, the most common sprayer is a JD 6000 series Hi Cycle tricycle sprayer with a 4 row set-up. That is the most common sprayer that you will see in the tobacco fields here. The guys that farm our land and my wife's farm use the JD 6000 with a four row set up. Some of the smaller farmers set four rows and then leave a gap between the next set of rows, so that they can use pull type sprayer with high booms spraying two rows on each side.
Austin, I took the booms off of a pull-type New Holland sprayer, and then added the 3 point adapter. I glued a small piece of styrene to the booms to aid in attaching the adapter. I have also built one that has the tank in front of the booms instead of on the tractor itself.
