Has anyone purchase the spot/broadcast sprayer from northerntool. It has a 1.8gal/min shurflow pump @60psi on it and has a nozel that claims it will work as a spot and broadcast sprayer. Which is important to me. The brand name is northstar.

I was wondering what people have experienced with this set up.

Is the pump large enough? How is the performance of the brodcast without a boom? Is there a better brand/model out there?

The 26gal model is $189 and the 16gal is $169. Plus about $20 for shipping.

From what I have seen that price isnt bad except for the darn shipping.

Thanks for your help

 

I did not buy mine from Northern but I'm "almost sure" it has a sureflow pump on it. The thing works super good for spot spraying. I don't know about a boom deal though. I use a piston pump and Briggs for my boom. I don't think it would work for delute materials. It should work great for non-delute materials where you don't need to put out a bunch of material.
This thing is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better than a Hudson pump up sprayer. All in all I think it is one of the best things I have ever bought in my life. Ranks somewhere around the welder and power hack saw!!!!

 

The local golf course has several of the Northern sprayers.
They have no problems with theirs.

 

I have a unit from Tractor supply, it is a 25 gallon with short boom and spot sprayer on sale at $219.00. It fits on rear rack and works excellent. Has the 2.0 gal per min sureflo pump and 4 ft boom for a 6' plus wide spray pattern. I maintain my 5 acre spread with it, no problems in 5 years. It is a regular stock item at Tractor supply stores.
