Hi , I need to spray six acres of hay for thistle and other weeds this fall or later this summer anyway . For six acres should I just get a Fimco brand sprayer of about a twenty or thirty gallon capacity to pull behind the lawn tractor from the farm and fleet store with a 12 volt pump or double the outlay of cash and get a Hardi sprayer of the same size and type from the tractor dealer . Or should I wait for an auction and try to find a tph sprayer with a 100 or so gallon capacity ? I've been told the best time to spray for thistle is in September so I have till August to get one . Any suggestions , I'd like to have a good spot sprayer on it to . Thanks ...Randy

Small tractor sprayers either 3pt or pull type did sell cheap at auctions. I bought a 150 gallon ploy tank JD model 25A for $75. A few months later an auctioneer handling a sale for a retired farmer didn't bother to get a 25A out of the shed, said "nobody wants one". Also saw a trailing model JD 32A (300 gallon?) go for peanuts. Problem might be now that most have been discarded. Ask local auctioneers if small sprayers are regularly available. If scarce and you don't intend to spray very often, go to F&F and spend the minimum necessary to get the job done.

My brother and I just bought a 30 gallon Fimco sprayer this season to spray our pumpkins with a pre-emergence herbicide. Worked good too, and the rate we sprayed it was the full 30 gallon tank over 1 acre behind our L&G tractor.

It only has 2 spray nozzles right now, but we're looking at modifying it to have 3 or 4, but I'm afraid we'll need a bigger pump (brother doesn't always think of these things....)

If you want a good cheap 100 gal fiberglass tank JD sprayer take a trip to see family and stop by

You may kill the thistles better in Sept. but they will have already went to seed and will be back stronger next year with many more plants.

I try to get mine before they go to seed which is early June for musk thistle, June-July for Canada thistle and July- August for bull thistle.
