Hi Tom. I have a Mantis Sprayer. It is battery driven and not near the work of a backpack sprayer. It holds 11 gal of liquid. I have been most pleased with it. Waite Maclin, Maine Zone 5

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,
Tom
