hey guys, I need a sprayer, doesn't necessarily have to be PTO/Tractor mount. just bigger than a backpack sprayer. we have about 20 acres to need weed control/round up/insecticide etc. it would mostly be used in our "yard" which will get heavy insecticide and many other treatments as I like a really nice yard. the "yard" is about 3 acres.
I do not want a sprayer I will be replacing or fixing every year. I want a dead nuts reliable (I understand the maintenance involved in that)
now in addition to my L3560 I also have:
a large 1500 lb SCAG zero turn
a polaris Razr (2 seat)
my kubota salesman has a few options he recommended to look into.
he has 2 agsprayer models
-----a 25 gallon UTV mount boomless sprayer (about a 20 foot swath he said) with hand want
-----a 40 gallon or a 60 gallon trailer boomless (about a 30 foot swath he said) it plugs into the 12v system just like the bed mount UTV one.
what are your recommendations? I'm not against using my scag in the pasture....it's tough as nails, and I feel I could control a consistent speed with it almost easier than the razr, but the razr I could have someone ride shotgun going down fencelines with me on roundup and detail work.
here are my issues I really am lost on
---good brands?
---trailer or UTV bed mount?
---how many gallons should I have available? I would like room for expansion and heavy coats.
---what kind or brand or flow of pump should I be looking for? I haven't looked at the 2 he has, but they are priced 350(UTV bed) and 500(trailer 40, a little more for 60 (same stuff otherwise))
your suggestions and recommendations for other sprayers to check out and opinions on those would be greatly appreciated, I'm struggling to guess how many gallons I need.
Thanks
