Who has the best 12 volt approx. 15 gallon sprayer. It doesn't need a trailer, I am going to use it in an ATV. Any help appreciated. Tracy Martin

I believe they are all the same cheap pump and tank.TSC or Big R have a good variety.I have not seen what you would call a high quality 12 volt sprayer.I bought one 5 years ago and it has worked out well.15 gallon tank and I wire the pump to the lawn mower battery.believe I paid about 100 $

I just bought one at Gander Mountain in their ATV section. On the shelf for $87.00 has wand and 1 GPM - 12V pump with switches, fuse, leads to battery with clips and 3 spray nozles and 15 ft hose.
Looked on line and on e-bay and all were over $100 to $170 . Was old stock on shelf and when I mentioned it was cheaper than they show on-line price , was told the shelf price was what they charged unless another price was cheaper.

Pat is right, they all use a pretty cheap Shur-flo pump and are essentially the same. I bought a 25 gallon unit at Rural king about 4 years ago and put it in the back of my Mule. It has been trouble free. I use a seperate battery to power mine, it will spray most of the day on one charge.

Same for me. I think they are pretty much alike. I bought 15 gal one around 12 years ago. Strap it to the back rack of the 4-wheeler and spray round up in fence rows one day a year. Still works great this year. Bill

I've got one for the ATV. It came with the 1 GPM pump and died after the first year so I upgraded to a 2.2 GPM pump and have been very pleased with it. The wands on most of these are cheap throw away types so I started keeping a new one as a spare because it seemed to always break right when I needed it. Everything was purchased from Northern Tool.

I bought a 25 gal spot sprayer from Attwods farm supply. Used it 2 seasons with no problems. Bought a 50' hose so I can walk in from both ends of 100' garden rows. Tote it around in the tractor bucket. Works great keeping the fence rows clean. I use it for both insect and weed control. I be sure to rinse it out good with soapy water and put it up dry.
