Should you get a solo backpack sprayer

Solo backpack sprayers can be operated manually or by engine power.

When deciding which to buy you will need to consider the type of chemicals you will be using so you can make an appropriate choice based on your specific spraying task. Air blast backpack sprayers work best with insect and fungus sprays while a hydraulic sprayer would be your choice if you are using herbicides.

The reason why hydraulics are your sprayer of choice with herbicides is due to the possibility of problems with drift This type of hydraulic sprayer has a liquid supply tank, a pump and attached pumping lever, a pressure-holding chamber, a hose and wand with control valve and nozzle system, and a support frame and harness for attaching the sprayer to the user's back.

While most solo backpack sprayers are usually manual operation some can be powered by an engine.
