RE: sprayers
what are you going to spray....what chemicals, what weeds?
Do you know anything about sprayers, calibration, pump seal types, etc?
Im a professional applicator. I know that usually people want to buy a sprayer and get it cheap.
I wouldnt have a fimco for anything other than roundup or maybe 2,4-D. It wont last and it will do only a marginal job long term.

RE: sprayers
My dad has had one for his 3-wheeler since '87, and has used it for everything from diesel/remedy mix, Grazon, Tordon, 2,4-D, Roundup, Velpar, and everything in between. It has never given him a bit of trouble.
Mine for my 4-wheeler is a Wylie. I like the material the tank is made out of, but I had to re-arrange the set-up a little before I was happy with it.

RE: sprayers
well i was intending to use it with roundup or something comparable, iused a 4 gallon hand pump sprayer last year with roundup and i seemed to work good for the little area i did, this year i want to do a bigger food plot so i need a lil bigger sprayer, my property just has ferns and grass mainly.
