Backpack sprayer

[Field Service]

Anyone have experience with the Stihl BPS? Looks like they are 4.75 gal and retain pressure when you refill. Just curious if they are worth the $125.

I own one and it is awesome, well worth the money.....I'm a little biased since we sell stihl at my John Deere dealership, but truthfully a top notch product, you won't be disappointed.

125 for an almost 5 gallon sprayer is not bad at all. For a cheaper model of equivelent size and same type of description, you might be able to save 30-50,
maybe?!

*I have 2 "SOLO" backpack sprayers that have the side pumping action (so you obviously can pump while you are spraying), love them- i think mine were maybe $90?? I think they are a bit smaller too though. I think the Stihl is likely a better product though.

To save even more money, I just picked up a 4 gallon backpack sprayer on sale for $40 at Thiesen's. It is a harvest King and works just like the Solo. I put 8 gallons through it yesterday and it worked great for me.

That Stihl looks nice. Had good luck with Solos. Used it a ton from herbacides and insecticides to controlling burns.
