Yards sprayers
I am considering buying a sprayer for applying weed and feed to my yard. Was wondering if anyone has any experience good/bad with the one I'm considering buying.

I don't know any particulars about that sprayer but it looks a bit strange
from the pics. My initial thought was how are they getting 120 inch broadcast from the little arms and only 2 spray heads. Might be just fine but I am more used to wider booms and more spray nozzles. Make sure you can replace the nozzles individually I would suggest. Good luck, a good sprayer is a great tool to have around. Ken |

I have on similar to that one and it works great. I did have to replace the pump a few years ago and I'm getting ready to break it out again because I can't find a company to treat my lawn. I hope it's okay because it has been sitting outside for 2 years now.

I have that exact sprayer. I believe I bought it from Northern Tool on sale, 3-4 years ago. I used it last weekend to spray ticks/chiggers in the back yard, then drove around the house using the want to spray the base of the exterior. I've also use the wand to spray my trees with insecticide when the Japanese Beetles are the worst. When I stand on the seat of the mower, I can get to the top of my 25 year old Lindens. Only issues I had, was didn't get the wand completely drained first winter, and it sits up against an exterior wall, and froze/cracked the wand. Easy replacement online. Second, plastic shut off valves to the sprayers. I broke one turning it too hard last summer. Replaced with brass shutoffs.
Both issues i had were minor, and when this thing dies, I would not hesitate to buy the exact model again. https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B00YEQ45...aa_pcomp_patf1 Its actually cheaper on Amazon and Northern tool than the Ebay link you posted. |

I ended up buying a 40 gallon 3pt hitch Country Way prayer with a 6 nozzle 10 ft boom from Rural King.

Looks good, hope it works well for you. If you come up with a good
weed and feed to spray maybe you could let us know. I have had a hard time deciding where to go on that one. I spray mainly 2 4D for the weeds but would love to be able to add fertilizer to the mix. Good Luck Ken |

I tried the "weed and feed" and was not impressed. It did green up some but I don't think it's lasting. In my opinion you are better off doing two different applications; broadcast spread a granular fertilizer and spay a 2, 4D, I think it's better in the long run. The first time I put down fertilizer I pushed a broadcast spreader... not fun! I bought a Rugid pull broadcast spreader I pull behind my ATV, makes quick work of the job now! I think it holds 250 lbs. of fertilizer. Anyhow, that's my experience, good luck!

I also have a broadcast spreader that I use for pelletized lime and fertilizer. I bought the sprayer to primarily kill the weeds. I have not had great success killing the weeds with the granular weed and feed and it's not cheap either.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
