Meyer Products LLC PECO power sprayer The PECO power sprayer eliminates hand pumping or lugging a heavy tank on the operator’s back. This completely self-contained, rechargeable, 12-volt electric sprayer is designed with the landscape contractor and nursery in mind. The 14-inch wheels and lightweight aluminum cart make it easy to maneuver over lawn-and-garden surfaces, and the conveniently located wand is always at hand. The electric pump runs up to 5 hours on 1 charge with its non-liquid heavy-duty gel cell rechargeable battery. The removable, wide-mouth, 5-gallon con- tainer makes it easy for mixing and spraying fertilizers, herbicides, pesticides and fungicides. The spray adjusts from a fine mist to a 30-foot solid stream. The PECO power sprayer includes a 5-gallon container, 8-foot-long hose with quick-release hose hanger, 18-inch-long brass extension wand, battery, and battery charger. Accessories are also available. PECO, Inc. Shindaiwa’s SP45BPE manual backpack sprayer Shindaiwa’s SP45BPE manual backpack sprayer, with 4.5-gallon capacity, covers more ground with commercial-duty power and lasting performance in an easy-to-carry unit, allowing landscape professionals to easily apply chemicals over large areas of turf and landscape. A 90-psi, large-diameter piston pump allows for quick pressure and less pumping. All critical seals are made of chemically resistant Viton material, allowing for extended use of harsh chemicals and durability. A 4-stage filter extends the sprayer’s life, and UV inhibitors provide protection from sun exposure. The unit comes with 3 nozzles (brass adjustable, fixed fan, fixed cone) and Euro-style tank. It requires no tools to assemble. Shindaiwa Shindaiwa RS76 spreader The Shindaiwa RS76 spreader features a fully welded, epoxy-coated frame to resist corrosion, and it is equipped with a spring-loaded on/off lever to ensure complete opening and closing. The RS76 is designed to hold 1.5 bags (50 pounds) of fertilizer. This capacity mini- mizes having to refill the hopper mid-application and reduces the chance of burning the lawn (by spilling fertilizer or reapplying over the same area). The 13-inch pneumatic tires glide easily over the turf, even with full hopper loads. Shindaiwa Stihl SR 450 backpack sprayer Ideal for distributing liquid or solid insecticides, fertilizers or herbicides, the Stihl SR 450 backpack sprayer easily converts from misting to dusting applications without special tools or additional equipment. Its 63.3-cc, low-emission, fuel-efficient engine provides a 20-percent wider spray range than previous models, resulting in 20-percent less time to spray the same area depending on the application. A large fuel tank allows for longer run times. Built for efficient operation, the sprayer’s 1-hand control handle includes engine controls, as well as product feed controls, allowing for excellent command during use, and air speed can be easily adjusted during use for greater application and less product waste. The SR 450 can also be converted to a backpack blower for debris cleanup. Stihl Inc.

Cruise control helps maintain speed while freeing operators’ hands to control spreading and spraying. A new variable-speed diaphragm pump boasts Viton valves for extended life and minimized maintenance. The T3000’s adjustable, high-pressure, high-velocity system creates larger droplets for a high-quality spray with less drift and fewer callbacks.
