just bought the one you recommended, someone else showed one that was $145 but had no reviews and like you said i do not want to have any problems getting parts down the line
@@marvinmensah2956 i was going to buy the $145 version someone posted because i am in NJ we only get 4 months of good hot weather to use it, and even then I would only use it twice in a year. but after some pondering i chose the one that Silver Cymbal recommended which is twice the price @$299 prime. only because i do not want to deal with getting parts for this down the road and the cheaper version looked a little cheaper in materials
I had to come back to this video. I bought one of these at the bins today. I instantly recognized it from watching here and thought I needed to get it.
Thank you for the video. Big thumbs up from from me. Just took delivery of my unit yesterday and getting a little learning in before I start with the real chemicals.
Man this is the perfect blower for me! I have about 3 usable acres so I need a big blower, but Stihl’s BR700 is too rich for my blood. I love the that this does two great tricks for a better price!
I hear you if you are doing it professionally every day the Stihl is a good machine but way to expensive for home or semi pro type use. This really is a great fit. Glad you liked the video and seeing this product.
Something I really will consider next spring. We pay $700 annually for tick/mosquito spray. So this will pay for itself really fast. Just need to compare that chemical you reference to what they use on our property. We have 3 Jacks and it definitely helps with ticks
Glad it was helpful. I got quotes for over $1000 a year which is crazy. The two products I like the best are the Demand CS amzn.to/2OpjOOb and the Talstar amzn.to/2VtSMH2 both work very well but Demand CS is my favorite due to its safety record and the way it works is totally different and safer than most pesticides.
I just left a comment on your aerator video and now I'm over here on this backpack sprayer video trying to get a better understanding of this cuz I have to use it I'm down in Florida and we have the same exact ones at the shop. Again, I appreciate the upload 💪🏼🤙🏻
if u wanna safe your back.. find a straight piece of tube for the end while using as a blower... the bend on the pipe makes it 10x harder to control and puts alot of force to the side... i did this with the stihl backpack blower.. and i can control it with 1 finger where i had to spend aaaaalot of energi to hold it before
Sr 450 does double as a leaf blower however its 800$ the sr200 however doesn't allow blower usage and is 439$. The sr200 doesn't allow usage of powered or pellet mixture and has a shorter application distance, the tomahawk beats the stihl sr200 in specs. I like stihl that's what my dad owned that what I own chainsaws weed wackers pole saw etc.
The Tomahawk is less than half the price of the Stihl. Naturally, Stihl is well known for quality. I see your video was published in Oct 2019 so you are now approaching three (3) years. How is it holding up/performing after 3 years of service?
Great video. I was looking for an easy way to control ticks and mosquitos. I wish I had it this summer. Ticks and mosquitos have been awful in NH this year.
very good video, maybe you could splice in a little segment that shows where the primer bulb is. i read a few reviews on Amazon and one mentioned the primer is hidden. for future viewers. I'm sold and thanks to your video I'm ordering mine right now. thanks
@@Brettsgrasscapades I fully agree that you should always use Tenacity according to the label and this is not an approved application method per se but that being said there is a possibility of using it in this manner. I am not recommending it since I haven't tried it but it could be possible for use in larger open areas. You would run the risk of over or under application. This would not be my first choice for most home lawns, just thinking a a little outside the box.
I was really impressed by this. We have EEE bad in Mass this year and everyone is nervous about mosquitoes and rightfully so. I am glad this can do the job for lot less money. Hopefully more people can treat their yards
Silver, what kind of respirator or mask would be ideal? Just got mine and wanted to be sure as I'm having trouble finding official recommendations. Thanks!!
Any updates on this equipment? I am looking for something like this to get rid of mosquitoes, ticks and bugs but also be able to use it as ab lower. Thank you.
Hi I watch all ur videos. Outstanding, I bought a lot of the products and tools u have mentioned. I live in southern NH and I tried Google search without success. But when do you start spraying for mosquitoes?
Believe you should disconnect the pressure pump before using dry via leaf blower otherwise it could burn out the pump. Edit: Don't need to disconnect the pressure pump, just need to add water to the tank, then close the white fluid valve so that water is cycling through the pump to cool it but not blowing out the end. Found an article on Tomahawk's site: 'How To Convert A Tomahawk TMD14 Backpack Fogger Into A Leaf Blower'
Hey Silver! Love the product. Was wondering if you think this could be used to spray your sea kelp/humic acid mixture for the summer over the lawn. It's hard to cover enough ground with the typical backpack sprayer.
Thank you very much, I haven't done that but someone else asked the same thing. I think you could since you want to get a good fine coating on the lawn and as long as its not too windy and overspray is kept under control it would be a fast way to do it maybe?
Would this work for something more coarse like silica sand? I have a floor coating buisness and would thing this would be nice to use to broadcast media. Great video. 👍
This is really for liquids only. Tomahawk does have a backpack granular spreader that should work for sand. tomahawk-power.com/collections/backpack-sprayers/products/4-gallon-granular-backpack-sprayer-spreader
After having the tomahawk one for a while, would you buy one over the Stihl? I have backpack blowers already, so just looking for the sprayer functionality.
I just purchased the Knapsack 3WF-1 from ebay for $157 before tax, and it's identical to this one. I purchased it for my lawn care business and I am happy to say that it started up on the first pull out of the box, and it works phenomenally! It's going to be a vital for my lawn care business this year! Great review, thank you! You should make a video showing how to put it all together for different uses.
You can use it within any liquid product but for fertiizers I would not reccoment it only since it would be very difficult to be precisely even with your walking, etc. But for booster type products this could prove useful on larger areas . You can throttle down also for more control and a smaller space too.
Thank you. I just fertilize with my regular fertilize before Thanksgiving, I am not big on winter fertilizers. For grub control I love this one: amzn.to/35lSCpA Best I have ever used
Great video as usual 👏👏👏 been meaning to ask you what’s the name of those plants by your driveway you also have em along your fence in the back I believe, they are tall and I’m wanting to plant some here at home, thank you 🙏
In the demo I was using 3 but in practice you may want to use 1-2 You also can dilute the chemical to what you want. Takes a little bit to get started but then from there you will know just how much to use. Not sure what you are spraying but if you watch my first one with my Stihl I show how I mix up mine: th-cam.com/video/cOYC3LdU1jI/w-d-xo.html This may be helpful for the Tomahawk
I was going to buy one, crazy thing is the very next day I was ready to buy, the price went up $100. I ended up ordering the 868 invatech Italia. Could you possibly do a comparison between the two?
It will spray liquid anything really (non-flammable). Pesticide, fertilizer, weed killer. I even heard grocery stores were using these to sanitize shopping carts for COVID!
I love your videos, but I have a Stihl 450 backpack mister and I use it as a leaf blower all the time. It also sprays powder. the tomahawk does look like it does a lot of what the Stihl does at a reduced price. I'm betting that I never have to replace the Stihl.
Silver Cymbal spring is too far. We want to know and use it now. Our yard is pretty big almost an acre. The backpack sprayer we tried one time took a long time for us to cover the entire yard pretty hectic. Please I also attached a link for another sprayer which I found what do you think
@@marvinmensah2956 tenacity is a selective herbicide and needs to be applied precisely at the labeled rate or you risk damaging non targeted areas. The most blowers are great for mosquito applications and other insecticide applications but are not precise enough to do herbicide or fertilizer applications. You would be better served by a tow behind spray cart with a boom for a lot that size.
@@marvinmensah2956 I would still use the backpack for that application, you can see from my other videos it did a great job and you shouldn't need to do multiple treatments, just touchups after the first. I know that method works, would stick with that for now.
You can but just make sure you are using a respirator, goggles, and make sure the space is well ventilated. You do not want to be in a closed off space with the 2 stroke engine on this thing pumping Carbon monoxide into the air.
$399.99 on Amazon and Home Depot. I was able to get 10% off on their website with code THP10 and free shipping. So about $360 with the code! Works great!
Work however you want but when you work with as much fuel, oil & chemicals as I do, skipping gloves is asking for trouble. I am convinced that Stihl wants to be the most difficult company to work with on the planet, no one line sales, very few parts and they regularly seem to cancel dealers. I have some of their stuff but their sales model is right out of the 60s.
All insecticides of course will carry some risk I am not denying that. But we have a huge population of insects, bees, amphibians and lots more interesting animals like salamanders and turtles. I have seen no change in ay of them since using this. Keep in mimd mosquito EEE is deadly and very real and Lyme disease is a serious issue. Spraying the way I do selectively around the perimeter works very well and appears to cause no problems.

Tomahawk has a memorial day sale running now, might pick one up!
if u wanna safe your back.. find a straight piece of tube for the end while using as a blower... the bend on the pipe makes it 10x harder to control and puts alot of force to the side... i did this with the stihl backpack blower.. and i can control it with 1 finger where i had to spend aaaaalot of energi to hold it before
Also would make a good fire suppression system for grass fires

Great video,, great product

Invatech sucks. Stihl sr450 is much better.
Disagree. been using mine and this thing get down! Very impressed. don't have an echo to compare but I can almost guarantee it will do just as good
