Quad sprayer

[Hilly]

What’s best for what I want , spot spraying Lance with as long hose as possible like 50-70 meter ? Also one of the nozzles that sprays really wide or maybe even like 3 of them on a little boom for bracken etc

We sell Fimco ones, they do them with a short boom with the boomless nozzles which spray 30ft. We have not had any touble with them.

Hilly will send you some pics of my qfb. Have also got a 30 m retractable garden hose with hand lance on it .
my spray boom is a bit of old sprayer line cut down to 3 nozzles , body has 4 on it so can turn then them half way so they don’t run can do 1 ,2 or 3 , hand lance for spot spraying driving round , or jump off and use hose reel for round poles. Corners etc.
bought spray tank and pump of market place £50 rest Had most of it apart from 2 fittings and a bit of pipe and one of these on back just looked it was nearly £100

There must be a Citron 2cv sitting on the Norfolk coast on blocks by the look of those wheels! What is the top speed!

We bought a Fimco sprayer for the quad about 10 or 15 years ago, never missed a beat. It's got the boomless nozzles that squirt out 15 feet each side and a hand lance, handy for round-upping around the yard and been known to do the odd wee paddock for docks etc when its not been worth filling the tractor one.

I had a little boom with Bloomington nozzles on and it was a complete waste of time for spraying grassland weeds. I’m pretty sure it was because the droplets are too coarse, so you don’t get very good coverage, but the weeds would wilt then most would come back. Either use a proper boom, or the hand lance (I’m assuming you have the necessary tickets).

I’ve found the cheaper tanks to have quite a short life, and now use a very old 60L Logic one that I bought with a secondhand weed wiper. Wiper now sold on, but I kept the tank.
I guess they’d be dearer than most, knowing Logic pricing, but mine’s still going strong at nearly 30 years old.

*boominator not Bloomington, whatever that is.

I used one of these, biggest thing to make sure for boom spraying is the pump outlet, needs to be a minimum of 11l/min

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...

It’s for bracken , I’ve used one before and it dose work.

This was my outfit up to last year, 100m hose, scaff planks for crossing ditches and a bucket for ladling out of a water butt. The hand sprayer was for the odd scattered frond. Now, 2020, Asulox is aerial only in uk, the rotowiper is going to be my main machine. I intend to start wiping tomorrow.
