Sprayer Pump Powered by Hydraulic Motor SPRAYING Accessories 17-2-32 I wanted to use our Steiger 4-WD tractor to operate the sprayer pump on our tow-behind sprayer, but the tractor didn't have a pto. I solved the problem by mounting a hydraulic motor and pto stub shaft on the back of the tractor, then mounting the sprayer pump directly on the shaft. I bolted an angle iron frame between fender supports, then mounted the pto shaft and motor on the frame. The tractor's hydraulic system provides the power. A low control valve mounted next to the pump is used to vary motor speed.
Using my 4-WD tractor to operate my sprayer gives me plenty of power and speed on our steep hills. With 200 hp and 4-WD I can spray at 10 to 12 mph and cover a lot of ground fast. The 4-WD tractor lets me spray much faster than the 110 hp Deere 5010 that I had been using. It was underpowered so I was always downshifting going up hills and turning at the end of the field. I can keep my 4-WD tractor in one gear and just throttle back without ever having to shift. I also use it to operate my fertilizer spinner spreader. (Dennis Roy, Box 246, Domremy, Sask.
