Hello Folks.
I have no idea why I didn't sign up to post on this forum forever ago. I love being able to throw questions around. I don't have a lot of sources for advice on these kinds of things, so this helps.
I have a project a few years in the making so far. I am tunring an old disused field behind my house into a wildflower meadow. It will improve the aesthetic, and it'll be four acres I don't have to mow. So far, two years in, I've brush hogged two seasons, plowed last fall, and I'm discing now. I'm getting ready to spray, once or twice before a late fall planting. I am a little stuck on finding a sprayer. I don't want to sink a ton of money into a sprayer because unlike the other attachments I've bought for this project (brush hog, plow, disc, broadcast spreader), the sprayer won't get used much.
I am considering a Fimco 40 gallon 3 pt Fimco 4 Gallon 12V 3-Point Sprayer - For Life Out Here, but the reviews aren't great. It's always hard to trust reviews on a webpage like tractor supply because I'm sure at least a few of those negatives are from foolish misapplication. I am also considering the 60 gallon Fimco 6 Gal. 3 Point Sprayer, 7 Nozzle Boom - For Life Out Here but as you can see, it's quite a bit more expensive. Supposedly, the roller pump is way better vs the electric pump, and the construction is better. I don't want to spend crazy money on account of it won't be used much, but saving a few bucks isn't worth a darn if it breaks and I can't use it.
I'm looking for input and opinions! Thanks all!
