Choosing the Right Sprayers for Your Application

Whether you require a reliable, manual sprayer or a heavy-duty, gas-powered model, you need to choose the right one for your application. Sprayers discharge herbicides, pesticides and fertilizers cleanly and evenly. They are reliable, simple to operate and deliver spray with exceptional consistency and accuracy. All the sprayers operate on the same principle: Liquid is gravity-fed to the wheel-driven gear pump, where it is pressurized and delivered to the nozzles at the pre-calibrated rate. These yard tow-able sprayers are great for all lawn and garden spraying applications. Compare these sprayers for their special features, nozzles, pumps and cost. Because the tank capacity may vary in size, depending upon your needs, the largest sprayer is listed first with the smallest last.
