  • More efficient than tow-behind broadcast spreader, way moreso than a backpack sprayer.
Overall, it's what you can expect for this price from a budget tool brand. It goes together well, tech support is great. The chassis, axle, wheels and tires, and the overall tank build seem very sturdy. Even the sprayer arms seem decent; they do fold back if you accidentally crash them into something. The rest of the parts are a little less sturdy, but are all wear parts. Hoses of this kind will need replacement after a few years, fittings are plastic will fail as well. The pump and is obviously the most sophisticated part of the product. The electric motor half of the pump is low budget, but it's only an electric motor, they are not very complicated. The pumphead half is low budget as well, all plastic. The internal rubber diaphrams are wear parts as well, and will need to be replaced after a few seasons, and won't last one season if left with any water inside overwinter. I will definitely cycle some antifreeze into the system over winter. The regulator is all plastic as well. My regulator came from the factory with the pressure gauge way overtightened and so overloaded with white teflon tape that the fitting was flared out and leaked out of the box. To solve that leak, back it out carefully, clean away all the old tape from the gauge and the inside of the regulator body, add new teflon to the gauge, and hand tighten it. Only three wraps of tape. Don't gob it on there like they did at the factory. I also had leaks out of the box at the sprayer nozzles. For this you want to grab a couple of 1/2 inch black o-rings from the hardware store and use them behind the nozzles. I also had a leak at the drain cap, which is poorly formed and weak, this too benefit from some wraps of teflon tape. The red knob is a pressure adjustment, that works by opening the suction up to some air. If your pump turns on but does not start, first check for a vacuum leak on the intake side of the pump by making sure the hose tensioners are snuggly screwed and that the hoses are not broken anywhere. The hose tensioners are cheap as well, and easy to overtighten, which damages the tensioner. If there is no vacuum leak, the pump needs to be primed. Do that by removing the hose from the intake straw and then sticking the intake hose right inside of your garden hose to blast some water up there into the pump. Gets great coverage and has made my lawn and garden applications a stress free and fast process. 31 gallons is plenty of juice for my lot, which is about 30,000 square feet of lawn. Had to fill a backpack sprayer four to six times for good coverage. Very easy now to spray my grape vines and fruit trees as well. Edit: checking in after one year, this spreader has held up very well. The hand sprayer cracked over the winter, obviously there was still some fluid somewhere in the handle that I failed to drain. I replaced it with a metal hand sprayer. Otherwise, I have zero complaints. ... show more

  • A Real Game Changer for Weed Control
Took about 1 leisurely hour to put it together. I was short some of the 5/16 bolts and nuts, but fortunately had spares in my junk box. Directions were OK, but bolt shortage caused me to have to re-assemble the chassis. Axel washers were not packaged with other hardware but strung over the wand. I have 40 acres of forest in the western Sierra and am working to make it healthier, removing ground and ladder fuels. I have used this sprayer for just about 6 hours now, dispersing six 30-gallon loads. It really puts the herbicide out there. The 2-head spray manifold is a bit flimsy but works well and stows nicely for storage, The swath is actually more like 9 ft. I was pulling it behind my Suburban, 4WD over modest terrain. The wheels are a bit small for the forest floor but fine for yard work, bushings rather than bearings, but with a grease Zerk. The wand is all plastic fittings, rather leaky, but works. The wand hose was somewhat short for my application. The pump seems pretty robust. I powered it independently with a 20 Amp-Hr LiFePO4 battery, which only had to be recharged about a 30 minutes during the 6 hrs. Plan to replace the wand with brass, add a wand hose extension, possibly retrofit with 16" tires (will require raising the tank), and pull it with a 4WD Quad (or maybe retrofit to mount to the quad rack.) Will provide a 6-month update. ... show more

  • Decent sprayer, it’s the Ancillaries where it shows it’s a budget unit.
I’ve built commercial spray systems for years. But for a lawn service contract in one of my divisions, i needed something fast. This was it. Arrived quickly, assembly was….assembly. The good: Pump is decent for a low output 12 volt demand pump. It’s Santoprene so it should stand up to some reasonably harsh chems. I wouldn’t recommend running 6% chlorine thru it for too long, but for fertilizers and weed killers it’s fine. The tank and chassis are decent. I do wish they had an option for a tank mixing diverter valve so I can be mixing as i make my way from the fill point to the lawn areas. In theory the wand valve and boom spray valves being closed will do this (see wand under “bad), but it puts those lines under pressure and the wand will probably leak. Having a separate tank return/mixing diverter valve is nice. The Bad: The spray wand broke…quickly. It’s fed by cheap vinyl hose and connected by plastic barbs with tiny band clamps. The plastic barb is fine at the pump, but it’s a bad idea at the wand that sees bending forces. It’s gonna leak with that design….guaranteed. Mine started to leak at the trigger gun body. I ordered a heavier Valley Industries wand here. Will likely change to a chem resistant AG spray hose and proper clamps. I don’t relish my hands soaked in 2-4D. The wiring and switch. The switch failed almost instantly, literally after one use. Northstar sent me a replacement….its falling apart and about to fail….after 5 uses.. This is after 5 uses. Wiring is thin and cheap. Frankly too thin for that pump,amperage draw.I’m going to replace the switch with a marine grade panel mounted switch on my Z-turn panel and heavier wire. The Meh: The Spray boom. It’s…functional. It’s thin, and if you hit something it’ll very likely bend. But it does work. It’s honestly fine for what it is. I may try to engineer a wider boom and upgrade to a bigger pump. I did 5 acres worth of apartment lawns with it today and that 6 ft pattern gets old fast. It also leaks…not as in a fitting is busted, but the nozzles drip. They make check valve fittings to stop that. All in all, it’s functional. Will take a little fiddling and a replacement part or 2 to make it leak free and more productive. All in all, just for the pump, tank and chassis I’m satisfied. ... show more
