Ok question for you guys whats the biggest (gallon wise) you have put on an atv? Im thinking of upgrading to a 40 gallon from my 25 gallon sprayer ? Thoughts?

I have a 25 and rarely fill it above 20 due to steering effects when overloaded.

I have large 2 person arctic cat diesel but yes probably be hard on the machine with lots of use

My plots are all small - if I had larger areas to spray I might have a different opinion

I mean how much are you spraying? One time a year? 4 times? Is it on all the time? Are you using more than 25 gallons each spray?
I used to have a 25 gallon, and for what I was doing (4 different plots) it was enough. I have since updated to a 45 gallon 3 pt sprayer for my utility tractor to spray the yard, plots, spot spray fence lines, etc. It can stay on the tractor longer, I felt like was always taking the ATV sprayer on and off and if I didn’t use all the spray, made it heavier or had to empty first.
 
I had a 40 gal on an ATV. Brand new machine good shocks, tons of power.....It was definitely too much. If I only filled it to about 30 gals it made a huge difference. But it would handle the 40, I just wouldn't recommend it
 
I have a 60 gallon from sprayer specialties in Grimes - you can feel it back there on a Full size Polaris Ranger but it handles it fine.
I quite frequently have 2 or 3 people in the front and 2 or 3 big kids on the tailgate at Sporting clays events and it works great - these machines will handle some weight.

Going to a 4 gallon tank would be to much weight for the ATV. Best bet would be to get a larger garden trailor and put the sprayer in it , and get a longer hose for the spray gun handle for use while spraying fence rows. That or get a compact tractor with a 3 point lift and get a 60 gallon boomless sprayer with a PTO pump from a local farm store.

He said atv, not utv. :)
 
Lol. Some refer to a UTV as an ATV. Out of extreme caution, and to cover the bases, I mentioned the Polaris UTV kicks 40 gallon tank ass!!
 
Revisiting this thread… I’m wondering if my Yamaha Viking could haul a 60 G tank in the back ?

Maybe 40 gallon is best ?

I'm not familiar with a your machine and how it compares to a Polaris but I put 40 gallon in Polaris 500 midsize many of times and it was doable. Buddy puts 50-60 in his Polaris 1000 and it handles it just fine.

Yamaha Viking is slightly bigger than a Ranger. It’s a UTV type …
 
I always run two tanks when burning so I have a 50 and a 25 in my full size ranger 500 and no issues but with a ATV at an average of 12.5 gal per acre he will be better off filling up a couple more times.
