We purchased a spraymate 2 controller for and old hi-clearance sprayer we have and for some reason it is not working correctly. It uses magnets mounted to the drive hub for the travel signal, we set that using a measured distance and it's dead accurate, every setting has been has been checked several times. At first the nozzles would pulse no matter the speed or gallon settings we contact their tech support and they though our pump was to large for the system to be plumbed using the inline setup, so we changed it to a bypass system, same problem. I gave up on them and change the setting on the servo to it mid range and close down the throttle valve choking down my flow of approx. 60 gpm to achieve 70 psi on the pump side of the throttle valve which will allow around 7 gpm flow then it started working at the 20 gpa I wanted, but I can't get it to maintain the 20 gpa at a travel speed of 2.5 to 5 mph. It will and want even though I've tried more or less flow from the throttle valve and adjusted the pump speed to change the pressure on the pump side of the throttle valve. I'm at a crossroads as to what to do with this system, I have the same nozzles and boom width on another sprayer when set it at 32 psi and a travel speed of 6 mph it will deliver 20 gpa, but there is the problem i don't want to have to maintain that constant speed, and here I am killing a 60 gpm pump to maintain 70-75 psi charge pressure choked down with a throttle valve to try to maintain a 15 to 30 psi demand to operate this sprayer and the controller still can't keep the flow correct. Has any one else had this problem if so what is the fix?

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
