20-25 gallon sprayer recommendations

Fimco is a well known brand. I hope that it works out for you!

All the best, Peter

I would buy a tank, pump, hose and gun and make your own. Very simple to do and usually end up with a better pump and something designed to use exactly the way you need it.

Hes alreaty got a tank and the whole setup but dosnt want to change the pump..just wants to smack it with his checkbook so I dont think building one is on the radar. Lol

Turned out they have a sprayer sale going and I ended up with a Fimco pro series 25 gal spot sprayer. Seemed a good choice because it is a 100psi, 2.2 gal/min with a claimed 38' horizontal spray.
I have so many gullies that I cannot drive into and need a higher PSI / 25' hose to get to.

If you want it to last, I'd suggest you NOT store the sprayer outside. The sun will disintegrate your white tank and the plastic fittings.

Also, rinse the hell out of the sprayer, hose, and pump before storing each time you use it. It will prevent it from becoming obsolete before it's time.

I had a fimco farm&fleet 25gal sprayer, with a hiflo pump and broadcast spray boom. In the middle of the 4th tank, the pump came apart, and the valve assembly broke off of the pump. The highflo pump has plastic engaging screws holding two plastic housings together. They would not hold. Also the valve assembly has a bayonet type quick tach feature attaching it to the pump, that also would not hold together. Basically the two most expensive parts were irreparable and laid in pcs. I researched and came up with Agsprayer 25gal as an alternative, their so called platinum model. A little more money, but the difference was stark. High quality shurflo pump, easy and quick access filter, npt fittings attaching the valve assembly vs the other plastic clip on type, quality fluid filled gauge vs cheaper mechanical type. One thing I noticed though, is to not only clean it good after using, but more important disconnect the wand and boom hose and spray some silicone into the ball valve to keep it moving smoothly (I use dielectric grease). There's a chance we have water here that is hard or with minerals, whatever, and it tends to seize the ball valves. Our garden hoses etc suffer the same, so it's not just the sprayer. The sprayer has plastic ball valve handles and can break if torqued too much. Another note, is that Agsprayer is Fimco's commercial agricultural brand. I've used this second sprayer 5yrs, 20-25times with no issues.

Ag Spray certainly looks like a step up from consumer or homeowner sprayers.

This is where Ag Spray can be found online:
