Product Round-up Spreaders and Sprayers Echo's MS-40BP backpack sprayer Echo's new MS-40BP backpack sprayer, with 4-gallon capacity, covers more ground with commercial-duty power and lasting performance in an easy-to-carry sprayer unit. A 90-psi large-diameter piston pump allows for quick pressure and less pumping. All critical seals are made of chemically resistant Viton material, providing durability and allowing for extended use of harsh chemicals. A 4-stage filter extends the life of the sprayer, and UV inhibitors allow protection from sun exposure. The unit comes with 3 nozzles: a brass adjustable, a fixed fan, and a fixed cone. The tank is marked in both gallons and liters with true capacities allowing room for chemicals. It requires no tools to assemble, and the ergonomic pump handle can be use either left or right handed. It also carries a 2-year commercial warranty. Ecolawn ECO 200 top dresser New for 2013, this rugged machine from Ecolawn is a versatile and maneuverable self-propelled spreader/top dresser that will save countless hours of labor and increase efficiency. The Ecolawn top dresser spreads a wide variety of materials such as sand, top soil, compost, calcite clay and crumb rubber. The ECO 200 is completely self-propelled and highly maneuverable, even up steep and uneven grades. Adjustments to mechanical systems are simple and require very basic hand tools. Multiple grease fittings are easily accessible to assure long bearing life. Shielded Sprayer from Grasshopper Apply pesticides, herbicides and fertilizers more effectively and efficiently with a Shielded Sprayer for Grasshopper zero-turn mowers. The patented design contains the spray pattern for on-target application, even in windy conditions. And the independent suspension and dolly wheels follow ground contours for precise and even spray application. Each spray chamber features 4 spray nozzles that provide uniform coverage by applying finer spray droplets that coat vegetation instead of dousing it. Zero-turn maneuverability eliminates wasted motion, spraying up to 5.5 acres per tank with fewer chemicals, faster application times and faster drying times, while keeping chemicals away from the operator and non-target areas. John Deere HD200 and HD300 The HD200 and HD300 offer the ultimate in flexibility, with a choice of centrifugal or diaphragm pumps, manual or automatic rate controls, and boom options that come standard with an electro-hydraulic lift. More versatile than a singlepurpose sprayer, no tools are needed for tank removal, and storage stands allow the operator to get more out of the vehicle, even when not spraying. The optional CleanLoad chemical agitator makes it easy to load chemicals by ensuring that every last drop is used, and a powerful jet agitator makes sure the tank solution is mixed thoroughly. An efficient valve bank design simplifies operation and plumbing, while standard triple nozzle bodies make nozzle changes effortless. Controls are mounted at the operator's fingertips and can be removed without tools for storage. Durable 11-gauge booms feature bi-directional breakaway to protect the boom. And a common wiring harness makes control system changes a breeze.
