We have a 1,000 gallon 60' wide sprayer that I spray about 4,000 acres a year with. Our's has a 5 gallon clean water tank and I wouldn't go without it or even a smaller one. Also our 3 section boom has a 100 mesh T line strainer in the supply hose to each section as well as a strainer on the fill line and one after the pump, with these strainers I only have one or two plugged nozzles a year and the big strainers are alot easier to clean than a strainer in each nozzle. Our sprayer also has hydraulic lift and fold on the booms, the hydraulic lift is a must so you can adjust for tall weeds or rough terrain and the hydrualic fold booms are nice because you don't have to walk around in the field you just sprayed to fold the booms. One thing I would do would be to mount the nozzles above the bottom of the boom frame so if the booms happen to hit something you won't break a nozzle body. Another thing I would do would be to plumb in a hand held wand with a 30' hose so you can spot spray around buildings or in remote areas. Also use only plastic or stainless steel plumbing parts and I really like Rectorseal for sealing pipe threads on sprayer parts.
