Hoping to save my back from the weight of a full backpack sprayer I'd
decided to get a 15-gallon Fimco trailer sprayer this year, and when I
saw that the Tractor Supply store had them on sale this weekend for
what seemed to be $50-60 less than all the mail-order suppliers were
asking, I grabbed one.
After getting it home I found that there are two variants of Fimco 15-
gallon sprayer: the one that pretty much every other place carries
(with a 2 GPM pump), and the one that Tractor Supply carries
(essentially the same but with a 1 GPM pump and a slightly different
spray wand). Does anyone have experience spraying dwarf trees with
the latter? Just making sure I won't be too disappointed with the
reach or coverage... Thanks.
