12v diaphram pump

and if you want a 1-10l flow meter

150-200 quids

As above - but my sons dont think they are smart enough so we have Selmech

We are using a high flow selmech. Getting the spraying nozzle in a good place can be difficult.

Morning we can do a number of types, from our forage solutions range

high volume 200 litre tank but can add more capacity, low volume 25 litre (80-180 ml/tonne) and ultra low volume as low as 10ml per tonne.

With a digital controller for rate control and pickup switch for auto on and off
