[QUOTE="rawhide, post: 4241034, member: 3448"] I have a 25 gallon towable chemical sprayer that I've had for years, but only used in the spring to spray 24D. It's not great and I've had to replace hoses and wand. Pump works but I'm not sure how well it works. A new one similar to it runs about $400. Since 2020 I've been working hard to improve my property. 10 acres, house sits near the middle, slopes, trees, brush, currently no livestock. Lawn is 10-30k sq ft, depending on conditions or how much i feel like mowing. 100 yards of road front with newly built fence and gated entrance. Im rural without neighbors that have manicured lawns. Non wooded area including lawn, is about 7 acres. When fences are completed there be over 1 mile of fence lines. Ticks away from the lawn are horrible. Have to spray myself down when working away from the lawn. Mosquitoes are bad due to drainage issues that I'm also working to improve. Grubs and termites around many of the stumps I've left attract armadillos. I started looking at better quality sprayers including 3 pt with pto pump. I have a 4 series John Deere that can handle a larger sprayer than I need. I'm just trying to weigh the benefits to cost for the 3 pt sprayer. I found a 55 gallon Ag Spray boomless with Hamilton nozzle and 25' hose and wand for a lot less than the prices I'm seeing advertised online. Just over $1000. This one with hypro 6 roller pump, except the one in the link has the jet nozzles.
