Yes we use one of these for a 75 acre solar farm on a 225l Fimco tank.

X BOOM

Quite simply a revolution in spray application. This wet boom will cover up to 10 metres in width in one pass!.The nozzles can be independently switched off allowing the operator to spray on one side or the other or just with the centre jet. This makes it ideal for spraying track-ways or land...

And make sure your battery is pushing full charge at all times otherwise you wont have the voltage to run the pump at max flow to get max spread from the nozzles.

I use a similiar setup to @warksfarmer in the solar farm here for spot spraying bigger areas under panels annd around the periphery and a hand pistol for long range spot spraying.

I wish I had got the remote nozzle control for the X boom, as easier to swap sides when spraying under panels!

X boom is probably not really legit, as pretty well impossible to calibrate, but when whacking thistle and nettle, probably not an issue. On a quad they would be useful as no boom swaying about.
