Best Sprayer for Forestry Site Prep - Category II 3pt

GimmeShelter · Apr 24, 2020

Looking for a reliable category II 3pt sprayer for site preparation in loblolly pine stands. It will see Oust, Rodeo, Arsenal and Garlon 4 over time.

I致e looked at the 200gal everything attachments sprayer, but the supplier indicated that no shielding existed. I may have to do some welding to get one properly protected.

Any recommendations?

You might take a look at some of the PTO sprayers from Gemplers. They have aluminum welded frames that wrap around the top of the tank.

It might be worth checking out the sprayers made by Enduraplas as their non-traditional tank designs bring the weight closer to the tractor -- which may help with the need for protection as well.

Not familiar with those chemicals, so I can't tell you which pump body to go with ..... though I can say that from my own looking for pumps (for personal projects) there aren't many manufacturer's in that market (only seen 2-3) so no matter the name on the sprayer the pump it has is likely make by one of them. Which is handy since the pump is where most of the chemical compatibility issues will likely be seen.
