You needed to fill in more info about your self before we can help much like location your at . And maybe how many acres you need it for and or what kind of trees .

I have a 3pt pto air blast for peach trees and it can be adjusted for about anything . I have sprayed a few pecan trees that's a 100' high and got full coverage .
Picked mine up on Craigslist . They don't come up for sale often . So I jumped on it . I didn't even have a orchard at the time . But was planning for one .

Best I could tell ya is a motor driven you could pull with a truck or even a horse . A pto one ya will have to have a tractor .
