Adding electric valve to sprayer

[243ackley]

Do they make a kit for a sprayer where you can replace a manual valve with an electric valve that you can operate from inside a cab?

I use this Teejet sprayer control kit. Three valves and pressure control where you want it. You could purchase a single 144A valve and wire it to a rocker switch if that is all you want.

I am looking to get by on the cheap - found these for sale on Amazon. I am planning to add this to my 31 gallon tank sprayer boom to remotely turn the boom spray on and off. Noticed that Amazon valve had 3/8" 'BSP' threads so found another on Ebay.

Or you can get your own parts and make one..

How hard is it to wire this unit up?

You specifically ask about electric valves, but if you're using and electric pump sprayer you can wirelessly control power to the pump with a plug n play switch from Fimco.

My sprayer pump runs off my pto

What tractor do you have (wondering about your electrical panel). Also, how tight is the cab? I don't know what it takes to get a wire into the cab...

What size hose connections do you have now? Are you replacing something like this?

That valve is very similar to the one I have now. I think my unit uses 3/4 inch pipe.

Tractor is a m7060. I don't take delivery until Friday. The owner's manual is showing a spot for a plug in the cab. I guess I can buy the right plug from Kubota and wire the controller to the plug and I will be in business.
