Backpack Sprayer Recommendations?

Postby tlh222 » July 22nd, 2011, 11:22 am

My lawn is 26,000 SF. Looking for a larger capacity backpack sprayer. I've seen 4 gallon Stanley's, Solo's and a few others. Don't mind paying a few extra bucks for good quality.

Any recommendations would be helpful.

Thanks.

How's your back and shoulders? A battery powered one like JG has might be best for an area like that.

Back and shoulders are fine. And I just came across that thread after I posted this. Based on all those recommendations, I think I am going to get it.

Anyone know if they carry it at Tractor Supply?

Check. Mine doesn't carry anything but the most basic sprayers--no backpacks at all, strangely.

If you have an ATV or something similar, with that much sq footage you may want to look at one of those sprayer you can mount to them that they have at TSC. It would allow you to finish faster and you would only have to fill up once instead of 6 or 7 times unless you are spot spraying. Just an idea!
