I’ve got a northstar boomless sprayer. Pump is not working properly. Thinking about an upgrade. I spray about 2 acres. I use the boomless nozzle for preemergent and occasional postemergent chemicals, but mostly use the hand sprayer for the latter. Looking to upgrade to a larger tank and better boom system with longer reach hand sprayer and better pump. Would like a tank that completely drains. Currently looking at:

Anyone have either, or a different recommendation and good source to purchase from in louisiana, preferable north la or east Texas? Thanks for any insight

I have a Fimco 65 gallon boomless sprayer that we bought from Tractor Supply. I use it already rosehedge and other crap in the pasture. Works great so far.

Sorry my finger hit the downvote while scrolling. Thanks for suggestion. Looks pretty good. Can you tell me where the pump hose is in relation to the bottom of the tank? Mine is on one side of the tank and every time I get low and have to run over any type of slope, which always seems to be opposite of what I need, all the water goes to the other side and I cant get any spray. It’s frustrating and I was trying to find a tank with better design. Thanks

I have fimco as well and love it. Intake for pump is on the center rear and the bottom is a grid channel so I’ve never had problems with sucking air unless the tanks empty.

This is accurate.
