A landscaper called off our website and asked for a quote for a weed control sprayer / tree sprayer. He said he wanted a 30 gallon tank with spray boom. I asked him how he was going to use the sprayer. He said he was going to spray weeds with the boom and spray 40-50’ tall trees with the hose & spray gun.
I pointed out that spraying 50’ trees required a high pressure pump that did somewhere in the neighborhood of 15 gallons per minute. At 15 gpm, he could spray 2 minutes then his tank would be empty. With a 30 gallon tank he would need to fill up a couple of times for each tree he wanted to spray. I think he thought I was trying to upsell him stuff he didn't want.
He said he understood and said to quote the sprayer without the 50’ requirement. I sent him a quote for a 30 gallon tank with a 12 volt pump & motor that will do a good job on weeds and low trees but wouldn’t spray 50’.
I don’t think I will ever hear from him. Do you think someone elsPublish Poste will sell him the power sprayer he is asking for? Comments?
