Jerry,
It has been years since I have last used a Hudson Trombone sprayer. It certainly should go twenty feet or nearly so. They are a bit of a nuisance to use. If it comes with a weighted filter for the bottom, that keeps down in the spray bucket better. The other thing is the hose. If it is a bit cool it wants to stay more coiled and it is hard to keep in the bucket. Plus you are carrying an open bucket of spray. Also, it seemed like I was always replacing gaskets. It would be a great squirt gun around the pool.
The backpacks have always worked well for me but I never liked all that nasty stuff on my back with the thought of it spilling on me.
I think I just don't like spraying.

I have a cheap trombone type-no handles--you just grab the tube and pump away, and it is better than a cannister type, but a lot of work and hard to work with. The ads I've seen on You-tube (that's right) for the Hudson trombone sprayer look wonderful, but I wonder how hard it is to use. I need to go 20 feet into the air. Jerry in southern Indiana
