We use a Solo 4 G sprayer. However, the thought of spraying 2 acres with a 4
G sprayer is daunting. Depending on your upper body strength picking up the
sprayer when it is completely full may be a challenge. Is an ATV or tractor
mounted sprayer out of the question? It would seem likely to me that you'd be
refilling that 4 G sprayer a lot. It would be great for smaller areas for
spot treatments.
