What TeeJet nozzle are you using?

 

The blue 11010 (soil app but I might use it for foliar as well since it's always windy here)

I'm tempted to get this sprayer for $140 and free shipping from Rural King. https://www.ruralking.com/20v-4-gal-backpack-sprayer.html

GrassDaddy, can you clarify your setup? You use the included Chapin wand, but a TeeJet nozzle? The threads are the same?

 

That's pretty close to the lowest historical price on Amazon.

 

The threads are not the same but I got an adapter at the hardware store. That being said I dont know if there was a tee jet quick adapter that does fit. Sometime I need to bring it back and find out the size/thread size.

 

Thanks! I was guessing that brass piece was an adapter. But it's hard to tell on the video.

I'm still not sure I'm willing to spend $140 on a sprayer, though. I'm also looking at the Chapin 61500 for about $50.

 

HoosierHound, how big is your lawn?

I have about 13k sqft. I started out with a cheap HF 4g pump backpack then upgraded to an S15 push sprayer since I was on a proactive biofungicide regime. Manually pumping Serenade every 2 weeks was a pita. When I got the S15, it helped a little.

But now I have the 20v and look forward to spraying the yard with anything and everything. LOL. I love it so much the S15 (which cost twice as much) is sitting in the shed unused.

 

I have about 8,500 sq ft. I honestly don't give much thought at all to pumping the hand can I use now. It's the constant mixing with the smaller tank that I'm most interested in moving on from.

 

@HoosierHound
The Chapin sprayer is probably the best money I spent on anything lawn care. It's a little expensive, but I don;t think you will regret it. I use it weekly, sometimes multiple times a week. Just makes lawn care so much more enjoyable.

 

@HoosierHound
Just wanted to make sure you saw the post on the Chapin 97900. Similar technology I believe but a walk behind instead of the backpack. It's only about 20-30 bucks more but for 8500 sq ft. it may be worth it.

 

Thanks SGrabs33, but not interested, 8500 sq ft isn't that big. I also like using a sprayer wand.

 

If anyone has an Atwood's near them they have it on sale for $129.99

I have 8K of lawn and I tried to spray ONCE with a backpack sprayer and it's not something I would ever want to do again! I'm in decent shape too! A push sprayer almost makes it enjoyable to put stuff down :thumbup:

If you enjoy using a backpack sprayer than more power too you!!! :thumbup:

Every time I spray my 4500 sq ft, I swear I will never do it again.

 

With the chapin I find it just as easy as pushing something.

 

I'm using a Chapin pump backpack to spray 14.5k a three to four times a year. The first time was a workout, but it's not so bad now. Learning that clipping in to a fully loaded backpack is much easier off of a tailgate or other high surface made all the difference.

 

Does anybody have experience with a boom setup for this backpack. Possible to get 2-3 nozzles working at 1g / k ft / 2.5-3 mph?

There is not enough pressure for the Chapin 3 nozzle boom.

 

I was having some trouble with my Stihl backpack sprayer this morning, so I went down to my local farm store and bought one of these. Wow! I'll fix my Stihl when it's a little cooler outside, but I may sell it after using this Chapin 20V today.

My wife has me spraying her grandfather's trees now. That thing makes it fun so I have no problem doing it now lol The Harbor Freight one worked but took a LOT of pumping!

 

How often do you charge the battery?

 

How often do you charge the battery?

The description says 1.75 hours of continuous spraying.

 

Thanks!

I usually go 2 weeks before I charge it up. About 13k of spraying each time.

 

I plugged my battery up this morning to top off the charge and the charger is blinking fast red - I think that means the battery is toast?

That happens when mine is overheated.
