Orchard sprayer

Candlaman · Oct 9, 2016

Planning on purchasing a sprayer for my small, about 30 trees, apple orchard. Kinda looking at a "mist blower" type but do not know much about them. Any suggestions?
Thanks, Candlaman

Do you have a pesticide applicators manual? Get one from Cooperative Extension. There's a whole chapter on sprayers and it'll tell you everything you need to know.

I bought one from swihart sales for the nursery about 10 years ago. I wanted one small enough to work on the b7510 kubota. The 50 gallon tank will spray about 2 acres. For the money this was the cheapest one I could find and does everything I need.

I spray about that many fruit trees with My Yamaha Rhino, 25 gallon tank and a wand sprayer, with 35 foot hose. . But I have semi dwarf trees a that are about 12-16 feet tall. Less than 1 minute per tree. 12 volt tank mounted pump is 7 amp, 50 psi 1.4 gpm.

How many trees in the two acres? You should be able to spray one treewith less than a gallon of mix.

Depending on variety, there are anywhere from 800 to 1000 trees per acre. Nathan
