I bought a backpack sprayer at Tractor Supply last year, and after watching your video, it's obvious that it's the same as the upgraded Field King sprayer from your link. Mine was branded "Roundup" (until I pulled the sticker) but I can confirm that all the upgraded features are definitely worth the premium. It's still $99 at Tractor Supply although no longer in stock at my local stores.
I have the exact same sprayer and I echo everything you said. I wish I got the metal wand too, after a couple seasons in a hot shed the plastic one is permanently curved. I'm still waiting to treat stilt grass though, is that a mistake? I was hoping some native annual grasses could finish going to seed before tackling the stilt grass, which I'm hoping it won't flower till late summer.
@@TheWoodlandSteward thanks for the reply. I ended up treating in early August with the minimum recommended label concentration of the fenoxaprop. After three or four weeks I saw some chlorosis on the stilt grass and absolutely no damage on anything else. I was afraid the stilt grass would still go to seed in that state, so I re-sprayed in early September with the maximum recommended strength on the label for "four tiller" stilt grass and saw great results, again with very little to no residual damage. If I had to do it again I would have gone with one application of the maximum strength, since that's what the label recommended for tall stilt grass. It's also possible the dry summer hampered the action of the herbicide the first time. However my worries about collateral damage were unfounded. Thanks for the tip!
Happy to see you posting again.
Thanks!
Great to see you posting again. Really appreciate your content!
I appreciate that!
Thank you for your review. We have a number of invasives in our woods and it’s so helpful to learn of new tools or better tools to take care of them.
Glad it was helpful!
I’m glad you’re still creating content. Keep filming and editing.
Thanks! Will do!
It's so nice to be back at Oak Haven! Thanks for the info.
Thank you for the encouragement!
You're back!!! Yeah!!! Don't stop please!
Life is busy!

I am treating earlier this year and like that the plants are smaller. I appreciate wanting to wait longer, though.

Have you used the SOLO sprayers? How might they compare?
I don't have any personal experience with Solo. Maybe someone else can leave a comment.
Tell us about the weight when full? I am guessing it's easy to put on empty?🥴
I woild have used the product before reviewing it.
Probably a good idea. I wanted to review it while it was still clean.
