Hand Lance jet recommendation for maximum range.

[steveR]

I have a job spraying inside the Solar farm here, my first pass through is with the baby compact and a small sprayer with a twin X boom bar, for "throwing" the chemical under the panels 2-3m from the tips.

2nd pass to tidy up in late June is spot spraying with a hand lance, BUT, I have not been able to find a decent narrow fan jet, they will give some range to hit the target weeds as I drive by. The standard knapsack type jets are cone or a big wide fan, neither of which are much good.

I need a straight, coarse jet for reduction in drift and maximum range. Almost like a pressure washer tight jet....

I have tried online sites but with no joy.... Just wondered if anyone has a recommendation please.

Should say, the lance takes the "standard" sized 110 degree fan jets found on ag sprayers etc.

I'm certain someone makes one for zapping thistles, etc, drive-by style, from the quad... maybe Logic, or one of those type of firms.

That's what I thought, but no luck so far, other than paying 50-60 quid for a lance and adjustable jet, that might do the job...

Trying to remember the guy in the SW who makes and sells ATV sprayers.

Is this lance the same?

Pardon our interruption...

Just looked at these and found one the same as Quad Wales... Looks like they will do a tight jet.

Looks very similiar and will probably do the job. I'll dig into the budget and order one...

Cheapskate Me, was hoping to get away with a 5 quid nozzle.

Anvil Spray Nozzle Buy Individually

Anvil spray nozzle for overall or band spraying using herbicides. Perfect for knapsack use

www.progreen.co.uk

These throw it couple metres wide and maybe 1.5m or more out from tip.
Might be worth a go .

We use the pressure washer for some bits!


It's got some range!


It's diesel and draws out a IBC. Just put the lot in grain bucket. Good for doing steep banks and bits not easily accessed

Just so long as the book says you calibrated it

Sadly, they are at 90 degrees to the lance, so no use. I need a jet, straight out from the lance. No use when on a vehicle, scooting past the weeds...

Use a cone jet and just unscrew it a bit.

Tried that, but suffered from the 3 "P's"

pee poor performance! Even with a twin port pump.

Well, looking at the forecast, I have time to order one, AND have it delivered before being fit to use it...

We have a maxithro nozzle on the quad sprayer. Spray comes out in a big triangle from just infront of my wellies to about 20' away at the other end. A bit of breeze and its got a better range into gorse and bracken. I did a quick google but couldn't find one of the same name but something called boomless atv nozzle came up which looked sort of similar.

We have just purchased a North Star high flow ATV sprayer from spraytec.uk Not cheap but we need one for two reasons.Spot spraying like yourself and also spraying out grainstores with insecticide pre harvest where we need the power to reach up to the roof.
Have had cheap makes in the past but they just don't last.

weve got one like this, sends well out over, on the stream jet setting, uses a high volume on it mind, and is quite a forceful tool, good for a big older canopy not so much younger smaller plants. can target well though.

Those Turbo 400 handguns ( that’s what it looks like in the pic anyway ) are pricy, but very good, especially if you are using a high volume / high pressure diaphragm pump
