I agree too.  If you are doing any real volume of stuff, and have lanes & 
trails, then you want a larger tank on a cart, preferably w/ a powered pump 
for the sprayer!

Heads up: I HAVE tripped & fallen while using a back-pack sprayer, and even 
w/o the actual fall, it reminded that I really don't want to have more than 3 
gallons + sprayer weight on my back.
