Gangable Pumps Spray Up To 3 Liquids At Once

Gangable Pumps Spray Up to 3 Liquids at Once TRUCKS Accessories 10-6-29 You can handle up to 3 field spray chores at once with new Shaft Master "gangable" roller pumps that are designed to screw together in series. Anywhere from one to three pumps can be used at once. Pumps can be mounted or dismounted in minutes. The drive shaft from each pump screws into the back end of the pump ahead of it. Henry Browning, inventor, has also patented a new screw-on pto coupler to drive the lead pump. "We designed these pumps for use on our own farm. We raise over 2,000 acres of cotton and needed a way to apply more than one chemical in one trip over the field," says Browning who farms near Valdosta, Georgia. "Before we designed these pumps, we had to make three trips to band fertilizer, apply herbicides and spray a fungicide over the top of the growing crop. Now we do it all in one trip." Browning says the triple pump set-up saves money in several ways. "It cuts fuel use, reduces wear and tear on equipment, saves labor, and cuts fertilizer costs by making it economical to band fertilizer to existing crops while performing other field chores," he explains. Each pump is rated at 22 gal. per min., with a maximum 300 psi capacity. They can be used individually or in gangs of 2 or 3. The pumps, specially manufactured for Browning by Hypro sell for $140 each. Browning is looking for dealers.
