How much you want for it? Any pictures? Because the rule here is no pics= it doesn't exist.
Now if money is really tight, and it's getting that way for a lot of people these days, you could just spray 2.7 acres with a back pack sprayer or one on the back of a 4 wheeler. It would take a few hours or maybe even more then a day but it is just walking. Every bit of New England hayfield used to be cut with hand scythes every summer one swing at a time.
What is growing on it now that needs to be killed and what pollination crop do you intend to plant?
yup... sprayer on back of atv.... no atv... then sprayer on back of p/u.... no sprayer..... then how about a couple of plastic drums/small utility pump from the likes of Northern Tool/homemade plastic boom made of pvc-abs pipe from local hardware store/nozzles from local garden center.
Build it and test with plain water on concrete surface so you can see the coverage pattern and if you are unable to do the flow rate math just ask your local farm gurus (or here) and depending on the pump you buy once we know the flow rate of the tiny/tiny pump you need to buy we can calc. how many nozzles once you find a source and boom length to do the job yourself.
I simply do not see the problem... only a small amount of schemeing and could be quick/cheap and easy to do yourself.
