Great Buy

"After pricing to have a custom unit built to spray herbicide and having purchased other products from Northern in the past, the North Star 200 Gallon unit was a perfect fit for my start up project. The price was apx $2000 less and the quality is excellent, easy to use. Other unit already built cost more and did not have HONDA engines. If there is a negative it is the Spray Gun, should come with upgrade long range Spray Gun. I did order the Long Range spray Gun works Great with this unit. I will purchase an additional unit in the future."

PORTABLE SPRAYER

,
July 20, 2009
By STEADY
from KANSAS
"I HAVE HAD THIS SPRAYER FOR ALMOST 4 YEARS. THE HONDA ENGINE IS EXTREMELY RELIABLE AND PROVIDES MORE THAN ENOUGH POWER. THE PUMP PUTS OUT PLENTY OF PRESSURE TO GET EEVEN TALL TREES SPRAYED. I LIVE ON A FARM AND WE ALWAYS HAVE BUGS TO SPRAY AND THE COST OF HAVING A COMMERCIAL COMPANY COME DO IT MAKES THIS SPRAYER A GOOD INVESTMENT FOR ANYONE WHO HAS A LOT OF TREES."

Just what we needed.

from Ashland, AL
"We are using the sprayer in our local fire department to fight brush and grass fires. Mounted on a 3/4 ton FWD crew cab allows us to reach areas we cannot reach with our largeer pumpers. We added a Valley Industries Long-Range Spray Gun - 30 GPM, 1000 PSI, Model# SG-3000 and the combo works great."

rond up sprayer as Fireifghting tool?
June 27, 2011
"Do you have any pictures of this in use for Firefighting?
@ only 11 gpm, this does not seem like a good choice for fighting a Brush Fire at all.
Do you use it only for mop-up, kind of like a giant Indian Pack, since I just don't see this being safe to use for actually containment and extinguishable of anything larger than a campfire."
