Backpack and Handheld Sprayer Recommedations

[@SJoshi-un9uj]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the larger hole with the measuring up is used to to fill the tank with water and chemicals. I think the smaller hole you pointed out is used by the machine to draw liquid out of the tank when spraying.

[@lawncarelife]

Correct. That was my mistake

[@garymeyer3294]

Ive tried a half dozen 2 gallon pump sprsyers. The Smith is the best I've had. I just received a new Flowzone 4 Typhoon 3 after much research. I cannot imagine a better quality and comfortable sprayer. Its specs beat all the others. Fantastic quality.

[@H0kieJoe]

I have the Dewalt 20v backpack sprayer. It's a very solid sprayer. I've only sprayed Speedzone with it so far, but I'm very impressed with the unit.

[@pearlriverfury2884]

Hey Jason I have the flow zone I love them because they are very consistent with putting the rate of 1000 square feet as lone as you walk slow to normal pace . Also another thing they can shoot a stream about 30 feet if your in need of that and the sprayer handle is like a pressure washer handle very nice never had much trouble but I clean mine after spraying

[@hotrod72]

I've been using a 40 volt kobalt back pack sprayer for 2 years now and it's been very reliable so far. I thank you for your videos there very helpful.

[@Caf1972]

I've purchased the Lesco Zero Pump 2 gallon sprayer. It's been very dependable for weed control with great battery longevity.

[@cwbodiford]

I have been using the Ryobi 4 gallon back pack sprayer for a couple years. The hose breaks down quicker than I expected and the inside suction tube swells and doesn’t seal allowing air in and cavitation in the pump not allowing you to empty the sprayer. I have recently put my hands on the Dewalt 4 gallon battery sprayer and it seems to be a beast. Very well made. It has a suction strainer inside which to me was impressive. Heavy duty hose and wand. Can’t wait to try it out and see how it sprays.

[@Gamewinningdrive]

Wow

[@garrettranz2149]

I've had the same experience. It sprays well, until you get to last 1/2-3/4 gallon.

[@chrisnash2154]

I have a Ryobi battery powered, back pack, 4 gallon sprayer. Works really well, but no pressure control like that Milwaukee, which I’m really diggin! My Ryobi is great for outside, but way too heavy for in the house. I need a fine sprayer for surgical applications of insecticide in the house.

[@samwimpy2600]

I've owned numerous hand-held pump-up sprayers, but once I used a battery powered backpack sprayer...very seldom do I use the hand-held pump up sprayers any more! I did use one of my old Echo hand-held sprayers this past summer for a chelated iron application as I did not want to permenantly stain my backpack sprayer. Battery Powered backpack sprayer...Petra Tools HD4000. I have been very pleased with the performance. I've had to replace the battery one time. Leaving it on the charger after receiving a full charge evidently reduces the service life of the battery. I've had a few minor issues such as a wand replacement, nozzle replacement, etc..., which Petra replaced at no charge. They have provided outstanding customer care! The nozzles that come with the sprayer are not necessarily to my liking so I went to Tractor Supply and purchased a 4-pack of bronze fan shape nozzles. I would purchase the Petra Tools HD4000 sprayer again! I do have two hand-held pump up sprayer foamers used to apply termiticide...1)B&G Versafoamer one-gallon 2) SOLO brand two-gallon foamer. Both are good products, but a LOT of pumping is required to obtain what seems to be a minimal amount of foam. I would most definitely recommend a battery powered foamer! Great review, btw...to the point, not a lot of wasted time on non pertinent information or promoting/drawing attention to yourself as SO MANY you tube videos seem to focus on. I will subscribe to your channel! And btw, I have a couple of WalMart HART products. I may try their backpack sprayer b/c I've been pleased w/ the brand so far!

[@Not_So_Weird_in_Austin]

Ditto a home lawn diy here. 2 of my 1 gallon electric consumer grade from big orange had plastic degradation in 1 year. I replaced with pro grade Sprayers Plus 2 gallon sprayers and have no problems since not a back pack but works for me

[@brianelliott4890]

Flowzone is top notch, great pressure and awesome battery life, I use them in my business and they are heavy duty and very simple to work on if need be!

[@lawncarelife]

That's great. I've heard good things about flowzone

[@PrincessCutLawnCare]

Cool video dude! My sprayers plus finally crapped out on me after 4 years 😂 Just picked up the m12 sprayer can’t wait to try it out!

[@ufcpubg1964]

How is it working out so far

[@MrErpman]

Ryobi makes a backpack for their 2 gallon sprayer. Works great for smaller lawns and applications orcrefill it for a little larger application.

[@Mark-zi2og]

Hey Jason, im just a DIY guy but I’ve got a 2 gallon smith sprayer that I use to spot spray my herbicides. This past season I also bought a 2 gallon battery sprayer, it looks exactly the same as the Smith but is marked under the name Field King. I use the battery sprayer for blanket applications, things like pre emergent and bio stimulants. All I need for now but they work well.

[@lawncarelife]

Glad to hear you've had a good experience with the battery one

[@aquakahuna5867]

Got a Husqvarna hand pumper, back pack 15l. Thanks for your video mate

[@7628739]

I use mine to stain fences with kerosen and motoroil

[@kowalityjesus]

Thanks for your tips! I'm starting an eradication project and don't know anyone with the knowledge to assist me. This was very helpful, thanks.

[@hardwoodcd]

I think the Milwaukee has a larger fill spot. The measuring cup is the cap I thought.

[@bella61567]

Great videos! I came across a review comparing 3 battery sprayers on Amazon and wondered if you have any recommendations on a sprayer to get the underside of my large pumpkin leaves. I struggle to get the underside and need something that will help with that. Some areas are hard to get to in general but the underside feels almost impossible. Thanks!

[@broodyking]

(for home use) really leaning towards the M12, looking into Ryobis offerings as well. Thanks for the video!

[@banjo215]

I've been happy with the Ryobi hand held sprayer. The backpack one is only ok. The filter for the inlet is too fine and I've had multiple occasions where I've had to pull it out of a tank full of chemicals to scrub it clean before I could go back to spraying. Two years in and the hose got a crack in it as well. It can be replaced but requires security torx bits to get the old hose off.

[@curtismoncus4118]

I have had a lot of luck with Chapin 4 gallon backpacks and they are a good price and they only I normally have to do is buy cheap replacement straps bc they will dry rot being

[@itstime2russell467]

Iv'e got a Petra battery powered one that works well. But i also have 2 manual pump backpack Silo and some one gallon pumps. Can't have too many right!

[@jequitygroup4108]

Thanks! I'm looking to pickup something this week

[@garrettranz2149]

Also worth noting that using products with powder (atrazine, prodiamine, etc) will clog up any of these small sprayers. I learned that the hard way.

[@bradlindeman7417]

Had 3 flowzone's. Great but not bullet proof. Switching to Milwaukee 2 gallon most because of smaller size. Fits in my truck upright!

[@pcbuilderlover4271]

I like the Milwaukee because of the long spray 20+ feet. Why you may ask. Because I am looking to soft-clean my roof. Roof is steep and I want to do it from the ladder.

[@aj12271]

Hey Jason. Ryobi & even Walmart Hart name brand makes similar 1 & 2 gallon sprayers at much lower price point. Wondering if you've compared them against the Milwaukee. One thing I don't think I would like about the Milwaukee is the spray wand is straight instead of angled at the last few inches to help spraying down onto a lawn. Any thoughts on that? Thanks. Always enjoy & appreciate your content.

[@lawncarelife]

I did have a hart backpack sprayer. It was decent. I haven't tried Ryobi

[@ryanw6193]

Petra Tools makes a good quality backpack sprayer, quality built and great customer service

[@YungContentshow]

Do you recommended any sprayer in particular for tire dressing silicone based Every plastic sprayer I use the formula on eats up the nozzle and sprayer. Need some advice man

[@herbertnewman4595]

Lawn Care Life: I use a 25 gallon sprayer mounted to a four wheeler with a boomless spray tip. About 25 foot wide pattern. But have started using the handgun to spray Change Up and Prodiamine. When using the boomless spray tip I worry if its getting the right amount on the lawn. I use blue dye so I can see that it is hitting all weeds so is that acceptable? Thanks so much for your videos I'm close to your same zone here in North Louisiana so your info helps me alot.

[@lawncarelife]

I don't see any problem with your strategy, as long as you are getting even coverage

[@skrame01]

Does liquid fertilizer need to absorb into the soil and get taken up by the roots or is it absorbed directly into the blades?

[@richardsamski6050]

Thanks for the video. I have a small yard, thinking about getting a new sprayer, thinking maybe battery. Why not, everything else is battery. Good info in the video AND lots of info in the comments.Thanks guys.

[@bryanknight4]

I like my FlowZone. Usually run 1/2 gallon per 1000sqft.

[@AffordBindEquipment]

Is there a seller that sells a flat 360 degree spray head? the typical spray head does not get to the underside/backside of the leaves and I have a terrible problem of leaf hopper on my grapes. the grapes grow against a fence so I can't get to the back side to spray for them. I saw a sprayer once that sprayed 360 deg, so you could stick the spray head behind the vines and it would spray all around the back side. Help!

[@roin1564]

Any long term review for that m12 sprayer? You still using it and do you recommend it?

[@sgnt9337]

Wow. That Milwaukee sprayer has some power. Looks like a good one for spraying trees. I have a Solo backpack sprayer, diaphragm model. I regret not getting the battery powered pump version. The shoulder straps could be larger/more padded (holds 4 gallons max - gets heavy).

[@sandywilson8169]

LIke the Vidd. .. I have Smith R200 Ag. & Turf... Pump Sprayer.. any idea if the 184163 Pump Zero will fit this spray bottle as an upgrade.

[@lawncarelife]

Sorry, I'm no help on that one

[@jordanmyers6741]

Hey Jason, just wandering if you could do a video on how to use a spray rig (hose and gun) how to figure out application rates when doing it by hand and then with a spreader sprayer etc. any help would be great! Thank you

[@ygbodybuilder3023]

I bought one for the house for bugs Should the sprayer be a stream or a mist type . The one I have seems like it just soaks everything

[@lawncarelife]

I would adjust the nozzle so it sprays a mist

[@lindasprance3208]

Any thoughts on the Bauer 3 gallon backpack chemical sprayer lmk? Thanks!

[@brian.coastal.landscapes4456]

Hey Jason. Im switching over to Change Up. I have a 2 gal battery backpack sprayer. It calls for around 1 oz per 1000 sq ft. Any way to make a mix for 2 gal for 2000 sq ft at one time??

[@lawncarelife]

I would recommend 3/4 Oz per gallon of water so I just put 1.5 Oz in 2 gallons

[@brian.coastal.landscapes4456]

@@lawncarelife thank you sir.

[@infiniteadam7352]

I just want to find a local sprayer that I can get parts for easily. I have so many broken sprayers. Hoses, tips, leaky pumps.

[@Kylewraps]

I’ve tried 5 different electric backpack sprayers Flowzone, tomahawk, Birchmier, Ryobi, My4Sons and without a doubt My4sons is the best backpack sprayer and it runs off 8 different hand drill battery brands so I use one battery for 2 my backpack and hand drill

[@lawncarelife]

Thank you for your feedback

[@SingleStacked]

I like the Matabi back pack 3 gal. Usually, only put 2 gal in it....I'm old...🤣

[@2quack]

The Flowzone 2.5 gallon battery sprayer is top dog. Just an awesome sprayer. Don't like 4 gallon because they're too heavy.

[@BigRedServicesLLC]

Cool, I’ve considered using the Ryobi 1 gal sprayer but I don’t do much spraying so I have traditionally used just a handheld pump up. In my last job we had an echo backpack sprayer but I didn’t like it it always leaked. Good vid thx for the info!

[@Johnny53kgb-nsa]

Have you tried the B&G sprayers?

[@lawncarelife]

I have not but I know they are popular

[@maustank8864]

Jacto pjb all day most versatile great battery and adjustable pressure

[@128walk]

I got a hart hand held and a big backpack sprayer Chaplin like both

[@ctndiaye1]

Are any of these strong enough to clean fresh mud off of things?

[@MrErpman]

No

[@Ohmz2000]

The Milwaukee has a bigger opening with a built in measuring cup on the other side.. it has the fan tip inside the filter as well. But I’m sure since you have used it more you have found it 😅

[@QuinteroNieto]

Does that Milwaukee agitate?

[@VanMan89]

Oh man it would suck carrying the milwaukee around commercial properties.

[@Namita.Makeup]

Very useful video! Thankyou

[@sahmadi1000]

My backpack sprayer is to heavy for me to lift empty.

[@turftechsolutionsllc]

Regardless of the hand-carried sprayer brand they all are too heavy for very long if it holds more than 2 gallons... 17 lbs begins to feel more like 70 pounds if you don't empty it very fast.

[@accountingstepbystep2229]

Great video! Thank you for the infomation!

[@rbljackson]

thanks jason. I run the stihl SG20's for my 4 gallon sprayers. They are manual and work decent. Ive got a lot of use out of them, and I purchased 3. Straps are ok, hoses and spray nozzle is pretty good, and they have a wide mouth for filling. Every year, I take them apart and clean them out, oil the ball valves, pump assembly etc. Haven't had much luck with the electric sprayers though. I got about a year out of them, and then they fail. But with that said....like you, I keep chemicals in them for extended periods of time which isnt the best thing for them either. Seals break down etc. I also run two 2 gallon sprayers to keep assorted chemicals on hand. Hope this will be a good year!!

[@lawncarelife]

Seems like some people love the SG20 and others hate them. I'm not sure I've personally ever used one

[@kimkilmer1247]

Great information!!!!!

[@Superfizzo]

The Milwaukee you can fill up from where you take the measuring cup off. It’s got a strainer in there and you can just measure your chemicals, add to the tank, then fill in the water necessary. You never have to take the top off. I love it!

[@MLCDelux]

Very informative video

[@LandoDaCommando]

Great job

[@TwiceRider]

Thank you.

[@PogotowieOgrodowe]

Check Marolex Spreyers

[@genxkevin]

thanks

[@Railroad_TalkNOutdoors]

Don’t do what I did… I used a 1 gallon pump sprayer from lowes (Round up) to blanket spray my yard lol.. it can be done but extremely slow. If you need to spray your entire yard I would look at battery powered for sure it’ll save you arm

[@kleco1000]

I use a dewalt 2 gallons for 5k sq ft not to bad if you walk fast lol

[@Railroad_TalkNOutdoors]

@@kleco1000 I’ll look into that buddy. Thank you! I gotta get out there and do something soon.

[@karunald]

@@kleco1000 Since when does Dewalt make a 2g version. I wish they did! The only one I can find is a 4g backpack.

[@jls7006]

Milwaukee like the design

[@Kylewraps]

Tomahawk E backpack sprayer is the worst sprayer ever made mine broke in 4 weeks Flowzone is pretty good but I usually run into an issue with Flowzone 8-10 months in either the battery goes out or a switch Birchmier Electric is good too but overpriced and the one I had leaked from the black plastic bean shape area near the hose but they gave me a new free 1 even out of warranty

[@leonardfay7073]

👍

[@4mudski]

Lmao, the measuring cup is where you fill it!!😂

[@lawncarelife]

Hilarious

[@jonwallace2188]

I saw that too. I like the Milwaukee one I bought extra containers so I only need one sprayer for multiple solutions.

[@AntLive29]

You sound like Eli Manning

[@blitzkreegy4232]

I hate backpack sprayers. I feel like a pack mule when using it.

[@petedymond]

I actually converted a 4 gallon Field & King backpack sprayer to a DeWalt battery sprayer. It works awesome! I made a video of the process: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mKqVmHSXedKYm8k
