A landscaper called off our website and asked for a quote for a weed control sprayer / tree sprayer. He said he needed help with stump removal, and that he also wanted a 30 gallon tank with spray boom. I told him we could help him wih the first part, and then asked him how he was going to use the sprayer. He said once the team was done with the tree removal 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 else will sell him the landscape spray rig he is asking for? Comments?
