I just picked up an Older Hustler and I plan to use it in the ditches and maybe a sprayer. Looking at setup for a larger electric tank, mounting and such to make these 5 acres more tolerable. What ingenious ways have you come up with for spraying the lawn.
 
Kaine, I also found that this forum is mainly for machines , not growing and maintaining lawns, although some respond.Maybe this bump will help.
 
A well balanced trailer with a tank 100 gallons? A gas powered pump and a wide spray bar should be fine.

Trick will be balancing the trailer to minimize the work your z has to do
 
A 4 Wheeler and a 15 gallon 12 volt spray rig like they have at Tractor Supply does a good job.

100 gal water would be 834 pounds of water plus trailer and sprayer and tank. That would be a bunch to pull with a zero turn of any kind I would think.

I have an old 30 gal tank with an electric motor that I borrowed from my uncle. He is a welder, so he made a mount for the tank with two small pieces of square tubing and we mounted two larger pieces of tubing on the front of my mower. We then mounted a boom on the back of my mower. It's not finished, but it works well. I have a larger electric pump that I intend to mount on the tank. I also have a wand with it. All I have to do to use the sprayer is set the tank mount inside the tubing on my mower, connect the hose to the boom on the back of the mower, and connect the pump wires to the battery under the seat. Can do it in five minutes.

My dad has a 60 gallon tank on a trailer style sprayer. He pulls it with his s200xt with no issues. I don't like it in tight places, but it's great in big open areas. That's why I had one made that mounts on my mower. I leave the boom on the back and just take the tank off when I'm not using it.
