I have a home built brushing spraying unit, that sprays a forty foot path. I built a foam marker for the rig that drops the foam in the middle of the path. To keep from over lapping the spray, I need to move over forty foot ever time I make a pass. I use the spraying unit to broad cast spray brush in a pasture. I use eye sight to judge the distance I'm from the foam trail. Needless to say this does not work well. Either I'm to close or to wide causing overlap or no coverage. I'm a small time rancher and looking for a cost effective way to prevent this. I do not see GPS in the picture because of the cost. I made a sight that I attached to the fender but does not work well, might be built wrong. Any ideals would be appreciated.

I guess I left a small piece of information out of my first request for information. The unit I built is not a boam spray unit. There are two spray nozzles in the middle of the spray trailer. Each sprays twenty foot to the side. That is why the foam is in the middle of the trailer. Thanks for your input lagary, I just did not give all the info on my first run.

Don't know the lay of your land but there are guys here that use flags for spreading fertilizer from carts on pastures.

Set a flag every 40 foot and go.

My sprayer drops the foam at the end of the boom.

There is a drop on each end soon the next pass you can just put the end of the boom over the foam.

It's a lot easier to see than guessing fromthe middle.

The yellow hose hanging down on the end is the foam drop.

There is a switch in the cab to send the foam down either left or right side.

No its a Red Ball sprayer.

Haven't seen where it will save enough to justify cost on my farm for the GPS on the planter and sprayer.

I do have the GPS on the combine for Yield Map purposes.
