Push Sprayer Great For Lawn
 ✖  |
"I've used my push sprayer since 1982 on my own place and to do commercial work on industrial sites, golf courses, and private lawns. Works great for both big and small jobs," says Gene Cafourek, Stewartville, Minn., about his push-type walk behind sprayer with a 6 1/2 ft. boom.
"It's great for getting into tight areas that would be hard to reach with a trailing sprayer behind a garden tractor or ATV. When working around shrubs, trees, gar-dens or flower beds, being able to push the sprayer helps control spray drift.
"Power is provided by a deep cycle battery that drives a demand pump, which has a much more even spray pattern than a squeeze pump. It uses motorcycle wheels for ease of pushing and boom height is adjustable. A toggle switch turns in on and off, it has a 15-gal. poly tank, adjustable pressure, and a hand gun."
Cafourek also built a pull-type sprayer to pull behind a garden tractor with some unique features including a speed monitor that makes correct application of fertilizer easy, breakaway booms, and a hand gun with 80-ft. of hose.
