I bought this mini spray boom the end of last season and never used it. Kept putting off using it in terms of having to check calibration, yadda, yadda, inertia, busy, lazy, etc. Finally pulled it off the shelf today. It's worth it. Twice the swath width and seems to work out to less than half the time due to half as much lining up and picking landmarks, etc. Makes backpack spraying almost fun.

Comes with two 110 degree, 0.4 gpm nozzles and accepts all standard teejet nozzles. Also comes with two strainer screens for the included nozzles. If you ever use a backpack to do blanket apps, get one of these.

UGH! lol who knew I could get away so cheap? Although I'm still looking for the elusive quick connect teejet adapter to Chapin pipe. Although honestly for my sized yard, 1 nozzle is more than enough :)

If you get one of these:

it comes with two Chapin thread to 11/16 adapters. A teejet quick connect will thread on the 11/16.

+1 on the two nozzle boom. Definitely makes spraying with a backpack more enjoyable! I like the two nozzle spray width cause it is very close to two mower widths so I just follow the stripes from the mowing pattern when I spray.

I wouldn't mind seeing a video of that if you ever get a chance.
Can I post videos here or do I have to do YouTube?
I don't know if you can post videos directly. I believe it has to be through YouTube.

I'm not sure I want to go from 40psi down to a max of 29 psi though
