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.

Jerry. To spray at hard to get places  in the tops of the trees I just open up my spray tip to a single stream. I then hold that a few inches in front of my leaf blower. It now becomes a mini jet blast sprayer. Easily gets to  the top of any fruit tree. The spray is now a fine mist.

OK-does anybody have experience with both a backpack and a good trombone type sprayer?  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
