Northern Tool skid sprayer

[zilla68]

anyone ever owned one? I'm looking to buy this unit to get started in spraying weed control and it seems like the best bang for the buck to get started.

I found the same sprayer at king machine and tool for 600.00 less but seems too good to be true, as they are based out of indonesia

its the 200 gallon skid sprayer with honda motor and comet pump, 300 ft of hose etc.

haven't used that one, but have used the smaller atv sprayers. worked great.

Always had good dealings with Northern.

I've got 2 smaller 12v from them and have had no issues, but this is a big purchase and was hoping to get a little feedback on them.
I really hate to lay out 3k on it to be a dud, but then a name brand used one is 3500, and then I'm worried about the pump or motor going out, and I'm upside down before you know it.

thanks

Pre-emerge herbicides will only have residual control for so long, depending on rain fall, soil type, and UV exposure. Eventually, a systemic or contact herbicide is needed.
