Pedestrian lawn sprayer

Posted by Tim Bucknall on June 29, 2023 at 11:35am in Machinery

I've been asked to price for turf maintenance, including weed spraying.  The site is always windy and I'm not happy doing it with a knapsack, I think it would need a wheeled sprayer with a shroud around the boom.  Can anyone suggest or recommend one?

 

TIA

 

Tim

      Thanks Mark.  I've been in touch with them, I was just wondering if anyone had personal experience of using particular models..

        I used one many years ago. it was fine, but 2 problems were 

        A) The pump wasn't self priming, so was a 'faf' to get going, especially wearing nitrile gloves as required for the herbicide I was using at the time.

        B) It wasn't self propelled, and could be quite heavy when full if going up any gradient.

        Hope that helps !
