Sprayer & Weights

[cschannuth 3,816]

With the sprayer mounted on the back and filled I had to put on the weight hanger Jeff (WVHillbilly520H) made for my 161 Twin. The twin has a long snout so he had to extend his design. I think it looks pretty good on the short hood too. Please excuse the mess from our wood pile.

        It might help if you could mount the sprayer tank a bit lower.

Craig, other than the black hood was a bit over extended I figured that hanger would be pretty much universal, and looks darn good on the 314, maybe you need one of these now goes on the clevis hitch you can raise and lower it and yep I built that too, Jeff.

It handles great with the weight up front. The sprayer actually is about 10" lower than it should be with the boomless nozzle it uses so it would have better coverage if it was a little higher. It covers about a 10' swath at this height. It is supposed to cover 14' at the higher height.  Also, the horizontal distance from the tractor affects the weight distribution. The height should not.
