Ryan I was looking for a review on your forever lawn sprayer. I am curious as to what battery lawn sprayer you recommend? Looking for a good sprayer that is quality and functions well. Advice?

[@ryanknorrlawncare]

​@@reality1958I'm currently still using this one and haven't had any issues with it.

[@reality1958]

@@ryanknorrlawncareI see. Thank you. I was thinking of getting the Greenworks as it looks like a nice sprayer. Also, I have other Greenworks tools to swap out batteries with

[@RandyKJohnson1031]

Thanks for the video. You topped me over the edge, so I bought one! Agree the tip that it comes with puts out to fine of a mist, so I will be ordering a TeeJet like you added.

[@josephkersey7084]

I have the exact sprayer. 2 years & no problems.

[@jaredtheurer]

I would use a step bit or simple drill bit to minimally ream the nozzle cap peice in order to fit the teejet nozzles. I did this with the $19 Harbor Freight pump sprayer and it does quite well with the Teejets.

[@BenNawrath]

I was thinking the me exact thing. I haven’t tried it on the harbor freight model but if that the only thing holding you back…

[@brianconner1389]

100% drill that out in 4 seconds. done!

[@paulsmukalla5220]

Try to flip the nozzle around too. I had bought a different nozzle from another manufacturer for the My 4 sons sprayer I have and tried it like he did at first. It didn’t fit and I was just going to bore it out a bit. Before that I took the nozzle and inserted it from the opposite side just to make sure I wasn’t cocking it to one side and sure enough it fit. It looks exactly like the one he has.

[@hustleeveryday6582]

I was thinking the exact same thing!

[@briandugas]

Nice review! Also, glad to see I am not the only one who will rationalize the purchase of something on the cheap side to buy time while researching a much superior product. Harbor Freight is good for this purpose but I draw the limit around $25 and only if I know I can still use the cheaper product for jobs when I don’t want to corrupt my more expensive purchase.

[@wayneessar7489]

If you go through a cheap sprayer with Teflon plumbers tape and a bit of dielectric grease, oil the piston part and check tightness on all the connections you will have a sprayer you can trust to not leak because 9 year old Chinese kids can't tighten connections tightly at their factory.

[@anthonygomez7984]

I’ve had really good luck with the powered ortho sprayer. Comes with some different fan tips and has comfortable straps.

[@stevewoods816]

Thanks!

[@ryanknorrlawncare]

Thanks for the support!!

[@daviddennis7306]

I had that same issue with a Kobalt sprayer. Ended up take a drill bit and opening up the hole in the pieces that it came with just a touch. And now I am able to use all my Tee Jet tips with the Kobalt sprayer.

[@Hilfa-rb6uu]

Field King ProMax is an excellent sprayer. Very nicely built for $200. Good spray pattern, quiet while using. Fairly heavy duty too. Just clean out after every use like you already do and should last quite a while.

[@vintagemotorcyclerepair4052]

I bought that same sprayer with a different name on it 3 years ago. I've used it all over my urban half acre. The only problem I've had is that the wand split up the side, so I bought a metal wand from Tractor Supply for a few bucks. It works well every time I need it.

[@ajbaums5687]

Switch over the whole wand from your old sprayer

[@trevormuggeridge4560]

[@dvxAznxvb]

This is pretty good value since its battery operated; you can definitely get cheaper for pump backpacks than $80

[@paulrogal3367]

Drop in sprayer into spreader like the lawn rebel is the way to go. Ordered yard mastery backpack sprayer last year. Figured let me spend the money and not worry. After a season I had to worry. Had some issues that I just didn’t want to deal with anymore. Ordered a 5 gallon tank and pulled the pump and battery from the backpack sprayer to build a sprayer rig.

[@tjdjinn1983]

If the old wand and gun won't thread on the new unit, good come you don't cut the hose and put a brass union w/ clamps to make it work?

[@lazarusgrey4866]

Another Sunday morning video drop 🙂☕️🌱. I’m thinking about getting a battery powered sprayer this year so I’m looking forward to seeing what you find out. By the way, the grass looks amazing 👍

[@limki]

Had this kind of sprayer (same tank, but the bottom part is slightly different) for years: had to replace the pump once (generic high pressure 12v pump with pressure switch) and the battery kept dying (probably long periods between use) so I tossed it and made an adapter for bosch 12v lithium - much lighter and just pops out for charging. Mine also has molded level markings on the side, but the water level is hard to see through the body so have to I align it with the sun.

[@paulsmukalla5220]

I did a fair amount of research on sprayers for a month or so and came across the my 4 sons sprayer. For still $100 less than the flo zone I have an in-tank agitator, 100psi pump,lithium battery(can also be purchased with adapters for and major tool brand battery), a large amount of tips, 14ft extendable wand for spraying in high places, and the upgraded all metal pistol grip spray wand. I’ve only used it a handful of times but so far I am very pleased with it. It also seems like almost every part on the thing is available for separate purchase in case anything breaks. “Buy once cry once” it was more than I wanted to spend but I honestly feel like it was a solid investment. Another big reason for the purchase was its very highly rated customer service. Something that’s very hard to find now a days.

[@crabjoe]

I went to look to see what the Amazon reviews were for this backpack sprayer and it was on sale for $60 so I ordered it.

[@FreedomRock44]

I agree the width is great but it is real misty. Tip is key as you said!!!!

[@OriginalAstroTard]

did you try loosening the head on that nozzle to see if that would change the pattern?

[@kennycooperkc]

I’m guessing you could drill out that fitting or even a rat tile file to make it slightly larger

[@carlom9710]

Just literally looking at this sprayer last night. You should review a petra sprayer?

[@rey3472]

Fantastic illustration of the drift from a non air inducted fan tip. Bore out the front of the cap a little or else smooth it out with some sandpaper.

[@ryanb5661]

Have you tried using the wand from the old one instead so so you can use the Tjet?

[@notpeek63]

just had an accident in my front yard.. washed out the container but completely forgot the hose and the RoundUp nuked a nice little 3x2 area of my trophy lawn. My fescue was pristine and now I've got a dead spot from that so I'm reseeding right now in 90 degree weather. Fun times.

[@adamenrightoffical]

Can you drill out the end so you can fit your tjet nozzles in?

[@sidparsons7170]

Would you have any experience with the Petra 4000 backpack sprayer?

[@MrAwesome3O5]

Hey. Is your ammonium sulfate a product that gets watered in or just sits on the grass blade

[@Lennymcgra]

I messed about with a cheap sprayer last year but ended up just biting the bullet and buying a good one, saves so much time and effort and makes liquid feeding a joy to do.

[@tjdjinn1983]

Great video, I've been eyeballing this unit

[@emmettmaguireiii5356]

Dude, get the Milwaukee change tank sprayer. You already have the batteries from your mower. I've put a few hours on mine and love it. Not cheap, but high quality and once you get multiple tanks you can keep your herbicides separate from your fertilizers easily. Love the channel, it's definitely made my lawn better!

[@ryanknorrlawncare]

I had one and didn't really like it. For some reason the tanks stopped working and I wasn't able to figure out why

[@paulsmukalla5220]

Also a large amount of recent reviews on a few different store’s websites state the tanks leak. That’s why I didn’t get the Milwaukee sprayer.

[@ramrod9187]

Yep they leak, I’m looking for something else

[@paulsmukalla5220]

@@ramrod9187 I ended up getting the my 4 sons backpack and am pleased with it. It’s comfortable and has a lot of options and wasn’t quite as expensive at the flow zone when I bought it on sale.

Take a drill bit with the correct diameter as the red t nozzle you want to use and drill the diameter a little bigger

[@2269tah]

You talked me into buying this one. I hope it works as good as yours!!

[@ryanknorrlawncare]

I have two of them and they've both been fine so far

[@blenderbenderguy]

If it has an internal battery, is it replaceable?

[@LowEtsRock]

That just looks like the orange version of the My4Sons sprayer, it definitely has that cheap chinesium material. It works good for basic spraying, but definitely not something you want to use often.

[@jonathanatkinson1121]

Try changing out to your old whole wand.

[@kearatauch7921]

where can i get that sprayer what kind is Amazon has it ?

[@Nick-js3xq]

What happened to the one you sell on your site? I bought one last year and had the pump go this year but the company honored the warranty and sent me a new pump. This weekend I was spraying and it was losing pressure as I sprayed. Hoping it was just from battery or clogged inlet as I cleaned it really well when I was done and charged up the battery so we will see next time out.

[@ryanknorrlawncare]

After winter this year I tried it and had a small crack in the tank

[@Golfexpertbelieveme]

Which sprayer do you recommend?

[@GeekMom50]

Just a suggestion, know anybody that's handy with a 3d printer? Maybe they can use the tips u like and make a duplicate design which would fit the preferred tip design into the the design of the new sprayer. My daughter's friend made some doll shoes to fit some of her small dolls. Time was minimal, actually overnight and he has cameras monitoring 3d printer which notify him when job was complete. Just a thought. Mb a small sprayer might be of use if your wife needed to spray any plants planted outside the house. I am 67, 5ft female who detests pump sprayers, and would love a inexpensive, light weight, battery operated sprayer for spraying mixtures on my 2000 sq ft lawn. $15 1 gallon pump sprayers don't work are too heavy for me to pump and carry simultaneously. Think a backpack battery powered would be better 4 me. The one u bought interests me at the pricepoint. Certainly, would need tips modeled after a good set of tips. Don't like running chemicals thru sprayers that u directly attach to your tradiional hose either. Don't want 3yr old drinking water from a chemical contaminated hose either. Actually prefer she just drink water from a water bottle.

[@geekay4703]

Splice the hose to use your tip

[@PatriotBrad]

how long does the equilizorr last?

[@ryanknorrlawncare]

It's meant for low doses more often so about 2-3 weeks

[@stash7714]

So you are only spoon feeding .08 or .15? I thought usually it’s .2 or .25 N every two weeks? You obviously have great results so I’m not trying to say otherwise, just curious if I’m correct or wrong.

[@ryanknorrlawncare]

Yeah with equalizorr we are able to get a better response out of less product. I have found just the right amount of growth and consistent color out of those recommended rates

20 year cannabis production here 👋 Our most important tool is our battery powered sprayers and we’ve used them all. If you’re serious about working with a decent sprayer, go with the ryobi 4 gallon sprayer. Has more than enough power and long lasting. Nice big opening so you can fit your meters in there to test ph and such. Take my advice and spend the extra $50 and get something that’s gonna last. We use these everyday and like I said, it’s our most important tool. These cheap Chinese ones will just make your life complicated in the long run

I fully understand not wanting to spend a lot of money and get it fast. OK, fine. My issue is why Americans keep buying made in China stuff. By doing that , we are supporting our enemy. China is itching to overtake us, and be the #1 world player. I quit buying made in China stuff (a couple of years ago) wherever possible.

[@CR-ow2wp]

Do you have a link to a sprayer with no Chinese parts and has no components assembled in China? I believe even the FlowZone sprayers have at least some Chinese-sourced parts because it's difficult or cost prohibitive to try to get them anywhere else.
