Another top video! The mans on fire! Just as a point of interest, I have a Solo 425 backpack sprayer (manual pump) - absolutely no issues with priming, she keeps running until completely empty, no shoulder drops required 👍👍
G'day Lachlan thanks for the words of encouragement your a legend. Yeah it seems to get an airlock as your walking about with it. Glad that the hand pump edition doesn't have the prime issue. Have a great weekend mate 🤟
Another great video Brenton. Really like that solo battery powered sprayer. Been trying to get one in South Africa for some time now but they aren't available locally. Looking forward to seeing the renovations. All the best that side legend.
Thanks Bryce, Wow I'm surprised you can't get the solo brand in South Africa. I would have thought you guys would have had them for sure. . Enjoy your weekend mate take care 🤟
Thanks Brenton for the information about the Hardi Sprayer never heard of it before I will look into getting one when I move into my house next year. Thanks once again :)
No worries at all, I honestly can't say a bad word about them and as I said in the vid mine is still going strong after 15or so years. You won't be disappointed in a Hardi sprayer
Loving the content. I just purchased an aeg battery sprayer. If you already have other aeg battery tools its not a bad option. No issues with it so far.
Top episode mate. Great content regarding the sprayers. I brought a 3.5ltr ryobi battery sprayer. Pressure is a bit sad with it. Will have to look into an uprade for spring 🍻for the buffalo tips also regarding herbicides. Great work mate
The course I did was the green keeping #1571 course written in the 70's and ran till the mid 90's I was I think the second last year that did that course before it was rewritten, tinkered with , condensed etc today the equivalent trade course is a shadow of 1571. Which is a shame, seems that green keeping is a dying art here in AUS at least
@@theaussielawn i have bindii clover broadleaf and every single other type of weed you can think of i swear. What is my most cost efficient way of getting rid of all these with little effort or do i have to use different chemicals for different weeds
@@samanthajones3104 The most simple way for a non turf / grass person will be the hose on pack that i talked about in the vid. It will kill most broadleaf weeds bindi etc. just roughly measure out how big your yard first so you know how much you need to buy
Sorry for the delay mate for some reason I didnt see your message. I actually don't recommend any thing from bunnings and Ive actually found its the one product that is different in every state. In the past Ive sent people to bunnings and the stuff I mention isn't sold in that store etc.
Ive since added a brass lance and it seems to help the issue. I can basically get all the liquid out of the tank. I do agree it was / is frustrating though
Yep same issue, extremely disappointing. I spoke to Solo recently about this issue and they had noticed the issue was more for taller people so possibly an extension wand (50cm) may help alleviate the problem due to not having to bend over more? I'm not tall but might help with others.
@@slippinreaction i drop one shoulder when it starts to empty which gets most. I dont feel like im bending over. Another thing that annoys me if i do run it on the drier side i need to re prime by undoing the lance before the trigger.
What weeds are you chasing in the couch ? Monument is ridiculously expensive to use if your only chasing broadleaves. I assume your trying to get buffalo or kikuyu out of your couch ?
@@robsmith5060 hey mate yeah trying to get a few nasty's out of the lawn kikuyu and buffalo are in there but there is a lot of other broadleaf in there that's causing me issues i'm trying to treat the lawn as best i can without ripping it out and replacing
I’ve got a Solo 414 running just the default nozzle. If I want to run a flat fan nozzle can I just buy one from dr nozzle or whatever it is or do I have to buy the backpack sprayer attachment/valve thing for it man?
I had an issue with one of the dual nozzle booms I bought from amazon which works for Solo units not working on my Silvan unit. Just check the tech specs (if you can find them) first mate!
Should try the swagman napsack I’ve had one for a few years now n treee as t it with a bit of abuse and it’s still going strong Maybe something to give a test
Interesting result with the weed and feed, I used to use this products until commercial product became available for domestic use. Fantastic comparison of the sprayer I have the 10L Solo sprayer it also looses prim at about 1-1/2 litres. Thanks for this informative video.
G'day Paul I hope you're having a great weekend, Haha the whole weed n feed thing came from curiosity and Im really glad I did the trial of it. Seems to be a common thing with the solo battery sprayers doesn't it Cheers Brenton 🤟
Id have to rewatch this video to see what my comments where re "weed feed" style products. Although you get somewhat of a result from said products as a greenkeeper I can assure you there are much cheaper and effective / efficient ways of controlling bindii / broadleaf weeds. The feed component of those hose on products is negligible.
It will be too late to treat them this season now mate but id say get on to them late winter next season they are such a pain... In more ways than one LOL
Keeps getting better and better mate, great video
Cheers mate have a top weekend 🤟

Great vid Brenton, i too used the weed and feed but need to carry out another dose 14 days later also impressed with the danish sprayers 🤪

Pressure is a bit sad with it.

🍻for the buffalo tips also regarding herbicides.
Great work mate
Woodzy W thanks mate there’s some more buffalo content coming up in the near future. This time it’s about some disease that’s hit mine 🤦🏼♂️
Great demonstration really shows flat fans are the way to go , I’ve just started with a knapsack sprayer because of the examples you’ve just shown. 👍🏻
Thanks Tony they make life sooo much easier. Good work on getting a backpack sprayer mate 🤟
I would love to know about the course you did. Thanks for the informative vid!

Thanks for the prompt mate - had it on my list of jobs this weekend to get the KambaM out :)
Ahh awesome mate, Im lucky i got mine out the other week we have been getting some most welcome rain this weekend 🤟
Well, looks like I'm heading to Coles.
Thanks Mate.
(Small lawn)
Thats the go mate, Glad I was able to help 🤟
Awesome mate, I’ll be investing in a back pack sprayer soon time for an upgrade 👍🏼
They make life soo much easier mate 🤟
Will get onto my weeds this wk. Thankyou
your most welcome Sam they will be growing well after this rain so will be perfect timing 🤟

What product would you recommend from Bunning's for kikuya lawn? Cheers thanks.

Ah. I was mistaken. Arg. Mate killer info. Thats a shame about solo. I always thought they were on par with Hardy. Oh well
This electric knapsack is a bit frustrating . When I get down to 2 litres left, the pressure goes down and doesn't want to let anymore out
Ive since added a brass lance and it seems to help the issue. I can basically get all the liquid out of the tank. I do agree it was / is frustrating though
@@theaussielawn thanks mate, common fault then? . Yes just a bit. How has changing the lance helped ?
Got the solo 417 and all the same issues.
Its such a bummer its still a great unit but like ive said to others here if Hardi release a battery backpack unit i will swap without hesitation
@@theaussielawn use a silvan battery pack at work and never had these issue and can use 100% of the liquid.

Good advice Brenton, what would you recommend for cool season weed control ? I have a combination of KBG & fescue.
Thanks Pete, You could use Kamba M or Bow & Arrow for example both your grass types are not too fussy for that sorta stuff.
@@theaussielawn Thanks, will give that a go, I've also got some fungus issues on a shady section of lawn, so will work on that as well. cheers.
great video mate just wondering what do you think of Monument herbicide? i have a couch yard and was thinking of trying it out
Yeah mate its good stuff. I have some here but I don't use it on "repeat" I swap my chemicals to avoid potential weed resistance 🤟
What weeds are you chasing in the couch ? Monument is ridiculously expensive to use if your only chasing broadleaves. I assume your trying to get buffalo or kikuyu out of your couch ?
@@robsmith5060 I have it for killing rye winter grass etc I only have it for the front lawn and green. As you mention its really expensive 🤟

I’ve got a Solo 414 running just the default nozzle. If I want to run a flat fan nozzle can I just buy one from dr nozzle or whatever it is or do I have to buy the backpack sprayer attachment/valve thing for it man?
Im pretty sure you can simply buy the nozzle you require, I too just run with the standard nozzles that came with it and the boom
I had an issue with one of the dual nozzle booms I bought from amazon which works for Solo units not working on my Silvan unit. Just check the tech specs (if you can find them) first mate!
Hey mate what can I use to kill off winter grass?
Just let the summer heat take care of it. Then start a pre emergent herbicide program after summer so it can’t germinate next winter
Should try the swagman napsack I’ve had one for a few years now n treee as t it with a bit of abuse and it’s still going strong
Maybe something to give a test
Andrew Kymantas is the swagman one a battery sprayer?
The Aussie Lawn yep that’s the one so far tuff as nails
Kerion Ralph from Ralphys lawn care products put me on to it
@@andrewkymantas3877 Thanks for the heads up mate ill have a look at them

Weed and feed works but it looks too cold for your couch to really grow. I moved to a cold area so I'm still in warm days frosty nights

First. Yeah boi.
Really 😂
Cheers mate . Fucking Bindii has taken over my fucking lawns
It will be too late to treat them this season now mate but id say get on to them late winter next season they are such a pain... In more ways than one LOL
cockatoos eat Bindi. feed them when the bindi are in seed. Our problem was fixed permanently.
Nice
Thanks mate
