- Build Your Sprayer
We have found that the more information a customer can provide about how they plan on using their new sprayer,
the better we can outfit the equipment to meet their needs.
What PBM needs to know to build the perfect spray rig for your money.

1) Tank Size
Use spray rate per acre (in gallons) times number of sprayed acres to determine your tank size.
Do you have any limitations on tank or sprayer dimensions?
Will ground compaction or, (anything else), limit the weight of your sprayer?
2) Pump & Pump Drive
Use the number of spray nozzles times the gallons per minute per nozzle and add 20% to 25% for agitation to
determine your necessary pump volume.
