Tom:
I have a 15 gallon sprayer that is on wheels with the more
expensive hand gun which cost about 300.00. It is electric and I use my
riding Lawn mower. I bought it from the local coop. It does a good job, but
I hate having to rinse it out thoroughly betweern herbicide and
insecticide/fungicide sprays.( I need 2 tanks.) It shoots a stream about
20 -25 ft. I guess.

> Hello All,
>
> I would like advice regarding sprayers...
>
> For my personal use I have the small, 1 gallon, hand pump sprayer. My
inlaws have a 3 gallon backpack sprayer, and a very old, wooden tank
sprayer, powered by a tractor PTO.
>
> The problem is that the orchard at my inlaws is shifting from a standard
sized orchard, to a dwarf orchard. There are only about 12 standard trees
left, that are in decline (some severe). There are 25 dwarf trees on M7
rootstock (I believe) as understory (removal of large trees will not be a
problem for
> the dwarfs).
>
> Until the large trees are gone, we have to spray them, as just spraying
the dwarfs will do little good. However, the old sprayer is getting ancient
and needs work, and the smaller sprayers cannot reach anywhere near the tops
of the large trees.
>
> Are there any options for a sprayer somewhere in the middle range? Which
of them are the best, and which are moderately good?
>
> Suggestions/Ideas/Comments?

> Thanks,
