The Farmate Agricultural Boom Sprayer Tracot Sprayer PXL22-1200 is a compact yet powerful tractor-mounted boom sprayer designed for small-to-medium-scale farmers, orchardists, and cooperative growers who need efficient row crop coverage without the bulk of industrial-sized models. The “Agricultural Boom Sprayer” denotes its specialized crop-focused design, “Tracot” confirms tractor compatibility, “PXL22” references its 220L tank capacity, and “1200” indicates its 1.2-meter (1200mm) adjustable boom width—optimized for narrow to medium row spacing (40-75cm) common in vegetables, wheat, and small grain crops. As part of Farmate’s “compact tractor care” lineup, this sprayer addresses the gap between handheld sprayers (too slow for large fields) and industrial boom sprayers (too big for small farms): it’s lightweight enough for compact tractors (20-50 HP) yet powerful enough to cover 5-8 acres per hour. Supplied as 1 unit, it includes a 1.2m foldable boom, a tractor PTO-driven pump, and a 220L industrial HDPE tank. Whether you’re spraying a 10-acre wheat field, a 5-acre vegetable plantation, or a cooperative’s shared row crops, the PXL22-1200 delivers efficient, uniform coverage that maximizes crop health and minimizes chemical waste.
The sprayer’s 1.2-meter boom is the key to its versatility: it folds upward for transport (reducing width to 0.8m, perfect for narrow farm gates) and adjusts to 0.8m, 1.0m, or 1.2m widths to match crop row spacing (40cm for vegetables, 75cm for wheat). The boom is made from lightweight aluminum (reducing tractor load to 35kg) with 4 brass spray nozzles (evenly spaced 30cm apart) that deliver uniform spray across the entire boom width. The nozzles are adjustable to three patterns: fan (for broad row coverage), cone (for targeted row bases), and mist (for seedling beds)—all with one-hand rotation. A boom stabilizer bar prevents swaying during tractor movement (critical for uneven farm terrain), ensuring nozzles stay aligned with crop rows—avoiding over-spray or missed areas. The boom also includes a breakaway design: if it hits an obstacle (e.g., a fence post), it swings back to prevent damage, then snaps back into place—protecting both the boom and your tractor.
The 220L tank is crafted from food-grade HDPE plastic with a UV-stabilized coating and anti-corrosion lining—safe for the harshest agricultural chemicals (herbicides, fungicides, liquid fertilizers) and durable enough to withstand outdoor farm conditions (extreme temperatures, dust, impacts). The large capacity reduces refills: it covers 1.2-1.5 acres per fill (depending on crop type and dilution), so you can spray a 10-acre field with only 7-8 fills—saving hours compared to handheld sprayers. A 18cm wide-mouth fill opening allows fast refilling with farm hoses, and a dual-filter system (primary at fill opening, secondary at pump inlet) catches debris to protect the PTO pump from clogs. The tank includes a sight gauge (with liter/gallon markings) and a low-level sensor that alerts you via a dashboard light (connected to your tractor) when solution is low—preventing pump damage from running dry. The tank’s shape is optimized for compact tractor mounting, with weight distributed evenly to avoid affecting tractor balance or handling.
The sprayer is powered by your tractor’s 540 RPM PTO (Power Take-Off) system—compatible with most compact tractors (20-50 HP, e.g., John Deere 3038E, Kubota L2501). The PTO-driven pump delivers a steady 0.6-0.9MPa (87-131 PSI) pressure—enough to penetrate dense crop foliage (e.g., wheat or corn leaves) and reach lower plant parts where pests hide. Unlike battery-powered sprayers, the PTO system provides unlimited runtime (no charging stops) and consistent pressure, even during long field sessions. The pump includes a pressure regulator valve that lets you adjust pressure from the tractor’s seat (via a control cable), matching application needs: lower pressure (0.6MPa) for seedlings, higher pressure (0.9MPa) for mature crops. A PTO safety clutch prevents pump damage if the boom hits an obstacle, and the system connects to your tractor’s PTO shaft via a universal joint—no custom adapters needed for most compact tractors.
Farmers with 5-20 acre wheat, barley, or oat fields will rely on the PXL22-1200’s speed and coverage. The 1.2m boom covers 2 rows of wheat (60cm row spacing) in one pass, and the PTO system powers continuous spraying for hours. The fan mode delivers even herbicide application to prevent weed competition, while the mist mode is gentle enough for wheat seedlings. The 220L tank covers 1.5 acres of wheat per fill, so you can spray a 10-acre field in 7 fills—cutting task time from 8 hours (with handheld sprayers) to 2 hours.
Commercial vegetable growers with 3-15 acre plantations (tomatoes, peppers, carrots, lettuce) will benefit from the boom’s adjustable width. The 0.8m boom width matches 40cm vegetable row spacing, and the 4 nozzles ensure each row gets uniform pesticide or fertilizer coverage. The PTO system’s consistent pressure prevents over-spray (which wastes chemicals and harms delicate vegetable foliage) and ensures nutrients reach the root zone. The 220L tank covers 1.2 acres of vegetables per fill, reducing downtime for refills during peak growing seasons—critical for meeting harvest deadlines.
Agricultural cooperatives that manage small shared fields (5-10 acres per farmer) will find the PXL22-1200 a cost-effective, space-saving tool. Its compact size fits on the cooperative’s shared compact tractor, and the adjustable boom works for diverse crops (wheat, vegetables, small fruits) grown by members. The durable HDPE tank withstands frequent use by multiple operators, and the PTO system is easy to connect—even for less experienced farmers. For cooperatives focused on sustainability, the sprayer’s uniform application reduces chemical waste by 25% compared to handheld models, aligning with eco-friendly farming practices.
The sprayer is designed for compact tractors with 20-50 HP— the most common size for small-to-medium-scale farms. It requires a 540 RPM rear PTO (standard on most tractors in this HP range, including John Deere 3E Series, Kubota L Series, New Holland Workmaster 25S, and Case IH Farmall 35A). If your tractor has a 1000 RPM PTO, Farmate offers an optional PTO reducer (sold separately) to adjust the speed to 540 RPM—no other modifications needed.
Cleaning is critical to prevent chemical cross-contamination (e.g., herbicide residue damaging vegetable crops):
• Drain any remaining herbicide into a labeled, sealed container (for future use).
• Fill the tank with 60L of clean water, add 300ml of agricultural tank cleaner (or 200ml of household ammonia), and run the sprayer for 10 minutes (to rinse the boom, hoses, and nozzles).
• Drain the cleaning solution, then fill the tank with 60L of clean water and run the sprayer for another 10 minutes.
• Remove the nozzles, soak them in vinegar for 5 minutes (dissolves glyphosate residue), rinse, and reattach.
• Let the tank air dry with the lid open for 24 hours before using it for other chemicals.
No— the boom is fixed at a maximum 1.2m width to maintain stability on compact tractors. For wider rows (1.5m+), we recommend Farmate’s larger PQL22-3000 model (3m boom), which is designed for mid-sized tractors (50+ HP). The PXL22-1200’s 1.2m boom is optimized for compact tractors—extending it would cause swaying, uneven coverage, and potential tractor balance issues.
The sprayer weighs 45kg when empty (tank + boom + pump). When mounted on a 20-50 HP tractor, this weight is distributed evenly over the tractor’s rear axle—well within the rear lift capacity of most compact tractors (typically 300-500kg). It does not affect tractor handling or balance, even when driving on sloped terrain. The tank’s low-center design further reduces the risk of tipping, ensuring safe operation in all farm conditions.
