Which Knapsack Sprayer?

[JD-Kid]

on thing is sprayer with the crimped hose clamps on them tent to cut them off and put on a screw up hose clamp
at least if it leaks you can tighten it up were if a crimp it's a job over head home to fix

Extremely popular sprayers with the grounds care industry as reliable but for the money if it’s going to be used a lot I’d be looking at something with a more comfortable harness and straps like the Berthoud knapsacks.

At that price it’s worth every penny, not unusual to see that model for £150 or more at other suppliers. As I said in my previous post it’s one of the most popular ones I see used at grounds care companies in my day job so if they’re using them they must be a reliable sprayer.

I think one of the only ones it comes on as standard is the Berthoud Pro but you’re looking £160 ish for one of them. They can be bought separately though and retrofitted, either that or just swap your old one over if there’s nothing wrong with it. Extremely handy feature, pity they don’t all come with it.

Nods up down with lever and i pump near continuously
Is a diaphram better
Im spotting roundup or selective

Anyone recomend the best replacement lance for a knapsack sprayer?

Got enduromax and got cdax. Enduro max seem to do a year or so. Quite liked the cdax but only bought it last year, used it a few times, pulled it out this year and it’s got a pin hole through the seam on the gun so want something reliable and long lasting. Any recommendations?

 

[SimpersTradeCounter]

Yeah we do a few different quality lances

 

[Valtra Man]

Any links and prices?

I just googled you, plenty of choice, which is best for no leaks and longevity?
Brass?, stainless?, which would you say is the best one for a 12v pressured bike sprayer? Will a pressure washer lance work? I’m just fed up with plastic breaking, splitting or snapping..

This is good one, I sell 100's of them. They are pretty robust and in stock

 

[Valtra Man]

What fitting to I need to screw on the end to take the pipe?

 

[SimpersTradeCounter]

The trigger has ½" bsp female thread , so it would depend on your hose size

 

[Valtra Man]

That’s great, I’ll measure it and get back to you with the order.
Thank you!

Stick knapsack sprayer into Amazon’s search engine and see what comes up. Many of them are the same or nearly the same, no matter what brand is on them. They probably all come from the same couple of Chinese factories, or the main components do. The important part is the harness. Make sure the harness suits you and is comfortable.
