What is an ATV sprayer boom?

An ATV sprayer boom is a unique type of boom that is used in conjunction with a specially-designed spray system that can be mounted to the back of most standard All-Terrain Vehicles. With an ATV sprayer boom, you can manage hard-to-access areas with expert precision at a fraction of the cost of the leading larger spray units.

When to use an ATV sprayer boom

ATV sprayer booms offer optimal spray performance in pastures, roadside ditches, fence lines, field borders, potholes, and other hard-to-spray areas. In comparison to popular backpack sprayers, ATV sprayers and booms have greater capacities, boast the same degree of portability, and are ideal for spraying larger areas without growing tired.

How to use an ATV sprayer boom

The biggest consideration when setting up your ATV sprayer boom system is determining boom height, spray nozzle types used, and the distance between spray nozzles. ATV sprayer booms can be mounted onto most standard ATVs in order to compliment larger sprayer systems by both increasing the surface area able to be sprayed and providing more precise spraying to these areas.

Parts of an ATV sprayer boom

Equipped with a heavy-duty frame, ATV sprayer booms depend on the coordination of a powerful pump, the boom, sloped-base drainable tank, and sprayer attachments. High-technology accessory attachments include ATV seat pressure control systems, which allow the user to make sprayer pressure changes right from the driver’s seat, as well as standard boom attachments including the boom breakaway feature, line boom strainer attachments, and foam marker systems.

ATV sprayer booms can be steel, poly, or versatile. They can be installed in different locations on the ATV depending on the job at hand. Steel booms are generally the most popular choice, as they eliminate the threat of broken spray tips. Poly booms are likewise popular for their durability, performance, and protection of spray nozzles from damage. Versatile booms are the ideal design for users looking to spray small spaces but still desire the performance and variable spray patterns offered by larger spray booms. Although the total width of versatile boom attachments rarely exceeds five feet, they allow the user a spray pattern swath of up to 15-20 feet. Many booms styles are also offered with the option of spring-loaded wings, which can be folded and stored after use.
