Do you have a question about the MT-2400 LR and is the answer not in the manual?
Questions and answers
I have a 60 foot boom Miller-Pro sprayer that is not putting out enough water pressure when I engage the pump. My sprayer has 4, 15 ft sections and will only put out the correct spray pattern when one section is turned on by itself, if all sections are turned on the spray pattern becomes very weak. On my MT-2400 when I engage the PTO pump the display is showing LP on the display. I’m thinking this means Low pressure but it’s showing 60lbs of pressure on the pressure gauge in the tractor at my preferred RPMs that I am running. I have replaced the Flowmeter with a brand new one so that can not be restricting it to the booms. I’m wondering if my pump could possibly be bad on the sprayer itself for it to read LP constantly on the display. I have troubleshooted every other possibilities and I’m looking for help/advice
