I modified my “Turf Choice” by Master Mfg. 25-gallon tank with Shurflo model 8009-543-235 sprayer, seen here (my original was without the wheeled cart and wand only – pump on this one is different too), http://master-mfg.com/Manuals/SL-MANUAL-MM.pdf , to a four (4) spray boom with EXCELLENT results using the following Tractor Supply parts:

2 each - FIMCO Nylon Quick Cap w/gasket http://www.tractorsupply.com/other-sprayer-accessories/fimco-nylon-quick-caps-with-gaskets-pack-of-2-2102345

1 each - CountryLine 80-degree Sprayer Tip http://www.tractorsupply.com/agriculture-farming-ranching/agricultural-sprayers-spraying/sprayer-parts-accessories/sprayer-tips/countyline-reg-standard-flat-spray-tip-st-80-03-pack-of-4-2102387

2 each - CountryLine Nozzle Body Tee w/Quick Outlet http://www.tractorsupply.com/agriculture-farming-ranching/agricultural-sprayers-spraying/sprayer-parts-accessories/sprayer-fittings-connectors/countyline-reg-tee-hose-barb-nozzle-body-1-2-in-pack-of-2-2101307

1 each - CountryLine Single Hose Barb Nozzle Body http://www.tractorsupply.com/agriculture-farming-ranching/agricultural-sprayers-spraying/sprayer-parts-accessories/sprayer-fittings-connectors/countyline-reg-single-hose-barb-nozzle-body-1-2-in-pack-of-2-2101323

1 each - Hypro BG-SHM1238, 1/2 x 3/8 inch Hose Mender http://www.tractorsupply.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CatalogSearchResultView?storeId=10551&catalogId=10001&langId=-1&pageSize=20&beginIndex=0&sType=SimpleSearch&resultCatEntryType=2&error1=&ip_text=1%2F2+in+x+3%2F8+hose+mender&ip_textHH=1%2F2+in+x+3%2F8+hose+mender&ip_requestUri=StoreLocatorSearchView&ip_categoryId=&ip_mode=&ip_perPage=20

6-feet of 1/2 inch clear vinyl tubing http://www.tractorsupply.com/home-improvement/plumbing/plumbing-accessories-parts/tubing-hoses/1-2-in-vinyl-rolled-hose-tubing-3129154

...and multiple wire ties to prevent pressure disconnection of joints, which could have also been stainless steel hose clamps.
The nozzles are “U”-nailed to a 1 x 2 x 8-feet and hinge-screwed to the box on my modified golf cart http://www.buggiesgonewild.com/gas-club-car/33018-utility-box-project-02-cc.html
