I just got a 16 gallon sprayer from Northern Tool, it’s the
one that they show mounted to the ATV. I’ll mount it to
the GT5000 using the same homemade universal attachment
mount that I used for the electric spreader.
The 25hp Kohler has a 15 amp charging system and the ignition
power is from magneto’s, so it doesn’t use any of the power from
the charging circuit. The pump for the sprayer draws 7 amps and
this will be pretty much a continuous draw because I plan on doing
a lot of spraying. I’m kind of concerned about the charging system
being able to keep up, maybe I shouldn’t be.
I considered that in some other applications, the tractor could be
used for cutting grass at night or blowing snow at night. These
would require both the headlights and the electric clutch to be
energized at the same time. Anyone have any idea how this load
(Lights + Clutch) might match up against the 7 amp pump load ?
