Battery-Operated Spray Cart

“You don’t need to stop and pump the unit like you do with a backpack sprayer, so you can greatly reduce your application time,” says Ken Rost, Frost Inc., St. Croix Falls, Wis. “There’s no backpack pressure on your back. All you do is walk and spray.”
The Handy-Spray is equipped with a 1 gpm pump and sprays 50 gal. on a single battery charge. The pump is controlled by a momentary switch on the handle, and the application rate is adjusted by ground speed. The spray nozzle mounts on a metal strap located on front of the cart. Three nozzle options are available, depending on the application type and desired coverage.
“The pump always runs at the same speed and pressure so you always get a nice, consistent application,” says Rost. “It’s ideal for use on acreages to spray herbicides or pest control products on lawns and gardens, and it works great to apply Roundup on weeds that grow along the edges of a gravel driveway. Some people even use it during winter to apply liquid ice control products on entry ways.”
The Handy-Spray sells for $350 plus S&H.
