I have recently bought a used Hardi pull type sprayer. 300 Gal tank, 30 foot boom. It has a hydraulic roller pump on it now, not sure if that is a good thing or bad (I'm thinking bad as I'm not sure my old tractors have the hydraulic capacity to run it) The nozzles on the sprayer are incomplete, local teejet dealer didn't even recognize the brand of nozzle currently on it, either could the Hardi dealer. I'll likely change out the nozzles to teejets, I can do this for about $200. My question is about nozzle spacing. I see most sprayers have 20" nozzle spacing for 30" rows. This allows much overlap which I understand is exactly what you want. I drilled my beans in 14" rows this year. Could 20" nozzle spacing work with 14" rows?? Other uses for the sprayer will be hayfield burndown, and I may also try spraying a foliar fertilizer on some hayfields just to experiment a bit. In future years, I'll likely use a planter with 30" rows for my soybeans or any other row crops.
Also, with 14" rows, that doesn't leave much room to get a tire through the row when it comes time to spray. I'm thinking about using my Farmall C to spray with as it has 10" rear tires, all my other tractors have 15" tires or wider. Does the C even have a chance at running a hydraulic pump on this sprayer? Is 2" clearance between the tire and soybean plants enough to not cause trouble? Thanks for any help you may be able to offer on these questions.
