Did you have a pressure gauge, so that you knew how many psi you were getting?
Just curious, so I can tell if my roller pump stands a chance.  I think I can get about 60 psi out of it; maybe more if I only spray 4 rows at a time.
Any chance you planted other low-growing crops in the tractor lane ways, so you could get some good out of them?  That thought has crossed my mind.

Exactly what I had, we planted 8 row blocks and had just enough pump to run a boom
 
 to cover 4 rows with every ounce of pressure I could get from a vane pump to rattle the
 
leaves out of the way.

I have an old three-point hitch sprayer, on which I can get the booms up high, like ~6 feet and have wondered if that would work for what you talk about, Steve.
