I have an electric 16 gallon high pressure tank sprayer from Northern Tool. I should have bought the Tow-Behind one. It sprays 15 vertically with a good mist and maybe 25 with a jet spray.https://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_200649533_200649533
Soooooo for 80 to 100 mango trees the attached picture is the way to go?Is there a similar/equivilant that can be mounted or pulled behind a golf cart?
I also have a mist blower but have found covering trees more like 10 trees for each 3 gallon tank. I've only done fish emulsion and micros. The machine is heavy (50 lbs. when filled) you feel like an astronaut. I cannot lift the blower from the ground to my back, I use a truck tailgate and squat to get into the straps. With 50 trees it is a workout. For 100 trees I would look at one you could mount on a golf cart. One significant advantage of a mist blower is that when the blower lifts leaves upwards the spray is deposited on leaf undersides for stomata absorption and is then somewhat more protected from rain/dew washing off. Due to the leaf lifting and blowing action the spray penetrates through foliage over to the far side of most trees while a regular spray would just hit a leaf until runoff.
I have mine on the #2 setting. What setting are you using? It is super heavy. I'm able to put it on while standing, although it is somewhat of a challenge.
