BXpanded sprayer for BX25

Eyeshooter · Apr 10, 2015

Hi, all.

I have the BXpanded BH dolly, thumb and bucket expander and I am VERY happy with all of them. For my b'day, I've asked my wife for the under armor and the ROPS tool kit. What I am most interested in is Harry's sprayer. After searching the forum, I see people say they like it but not why. I will be using it in my orchard and large veggie and fruit gardens for organic sprays, i.e. compost tea, fish emulsion, neem oil etc. Land size approx 1 ac. I will use the boom occasionally but will most often be using the hose sprayer. I'm getting old and making numerous batches for a 4 gal backpack sprayer takes too long and is a bit taxing on the shoulders after rotator cuff surgery. The ingredients will be strained prior to being put into the tank to stop any partial solids from clogging the nozzles.

My questions are how folks like the unit, which of the power options you like best, what kind of pressure do you get, does the hose sprayer work well and ease of cleaning. Anything I'm missing or I should look at instead? The 25 gal tank is a really good size for my applications.

Thanks for sharing your experiences!

I have one and like it, I guess mostly because it works well, but I really like the quick on-and-off too. I don't know what you mean by "which power option".

The info on the web page says the capacity specs are 2.2 gal/minute. Pump shuts off at 70psi. I've found using the wand that the pump keeps up no problem with a constant spray.

I got the carryall at the same time. You get it for only $99 if you get it with the sprayer.

BTW, I've got a bunch of his stuff too, and they've always been quite responsive. However, I sent an email inquiry about his tooth bar a number of days ago and haven't seen any response. He may be on vacation or something right now.

Thanks, GolfAddict! By power option I should have said connection. Do you have the cigarette adapter or did you use the clips to the battery?

Enjoy the Masters!

John, I forgot that it came with a power option. I believe I ordered it with clips, but in any case the first thing I did was cut them off and crimped on little connectors to fit the factory connectors at the back (the ones you can use for accessories.)

However, since then I've rigged up a cigarette lighter outlet that plugs onto those factory connectors so I can plug in various things. So, now I'll be adding a cigarette lighter plug on to the sprayer. Should have just ordered it that way.
