Most comfortable knapsack sprayer

[Grower Tesque]

Looks like I've got a fair amount of BG to spray out and my old knapsack has given up the ghost, and wasn't that comfortable either.

Any ones better that others?

A CDA from Micron, much more pleasant to us in warm weather.
Herbi Flex 4 is ideal:

Berthoud Vermorel 2000 Pro Comfort knapsack very comfortable, well padded , 16 litre . Have a Hardi as well but usually take the Berthoud although the Hardi is 20 litres.

Both ar hand cranked guessing most people are going for rechargeable battery ones now.

I have two Solo 475 sprayers.
Easy to operate ,not too heavy and maintain good pressure.

There was a thread not long ago:

Best/most comfortable knapsack sprayer

As above please. Cooper peglar are horrible old things. Won’t get all that much use but would like to know what people recommend.

Tried on a stihl, seems a comfortable and well put together thing

We seem to have inadvertently grown a few small patches of that stuff and don't fancy the knapsack option.
I was toying with the idea of strapping a 60 litre quad sprayer to the weight block of the sprayer tractor and extending the hose so it reaches just passed the middle of the tramlines

Pulling 12 meters of hose around in a tall crop won’t be an easy job.

I have a couple of SOLO 434 backpack sprayers which I highly rate, they aren't cheap but do have a 4 stroke Honda engine and get some serious pressure on which we use for vines/trees/glasshouse work. Also comes in very handy for pre harvest spray down of the grain store.

Will end up like a weed wiper I should think
