NorthStar ATV Broadcast and Spot Sprayer with 2-Nozzle Boom- 16-Gallon Capacity, 2.2 GPM, 12 Volts

This is an awesome addition to the lawn workforce. The heavy gauge material will surely last. It was very easy to put together. The pump could be a little more powerful. But it performs fine. I got the 15 gallon which is perfect size to attach to my seeder. The pump is slightly adjustable but don’t expect too much from it. Keep it clean inside the tank and filter and you’ll have it for years.

I strap this sprayer on the tailgate of my UTV ranger to spray a field of about 1 1/2 acres. It works great! It’s sprays a swath about 2 feet wider than my UTV. Roughly 8 feet wide. The only thing I wish is that I got one with a bigger tank. The 16 gallon tank runs out fairly fast so there is a lot of refilling.

Real review: Bought this to use in our yard and also in the woods for spraying round up on roads. 20 min assembly time. Very easy.Mounted on back of Polaris Ranger. First used to spray yard for weeds. Second mix I used to spray for bugs and insects in yard. Sprayer worked very well and evenly across passes.Easy wash out and clean up process. Easy drain plug when cleaning out or swapping products.The only thing I see so far that I personally need to change is the power cord length. It was a stretch to reach my battery but it worked out.So if your just using for yard and small projects it is a good buy. Will work fine for larger projects just have access to water.

I'm not typically a review writer, but so pleased with this purchase, I felt I should share ...I've had it with weeds in my grass. Paid for the lawn spray service for several years, unsatisfied, so I attempted my own attack with home store 4 step bagged fertilizer granuals.Couldn't get those granuals to stick to the weeds no matter how wet the grass was. Years of that non-sense and wasted $$$ has brought me to this;Assembly was simple ... once I found all of the parts that I thought were missing INSIDE the tank. Read the big yellow sticker on the tank lid. I'm a dope.Directions say to "strap the sprayer to the cargo rack on the back of your ATV". So, not really designed for a lawn tractor. But I knew that going in.On my lawn tractor, there are two arms that hold the rear bag in place;The Sprayer frame sat perfectly on those two arms. May not be the case with other brands / model tractors.I bent two flat steel brackets at right angles and bolted thru existing holes in the sprayer frame ... and drilled a hole in each bag arm of the lawn tractor to attach the bracket with 1/4" bolts.Not trusting those arms to carry the full weight of the sprayer and 16 gals of fluid, I fashioned a bracket out of some scrap metal that I had laying around, and attached to the farthest point of the sprayer frame, down at an angle to what looked like a tow hitch hole on the tractor. (red diagonal bracket in photo)Seems pretty solid and the entire system can be removed with 4 bolts. So a 5 min job.Also just ordered the mulching kit for the tractor so I won't be using the bag again until the leaves fall.Mixed up 12 gal of herbicide cocktail and the sprayer worked as advertised. I felt like I was a crop duster.Went nice and slow to be sure I got a good coating on all those nasty weeds.With 12 gal in, the steering got a bit light in a couple of hilly spots ... but no wheelies.I may need some ballast on the front if I go the full 16 gal but jury is still out.The wand came in handy too where the wife has flowers and around the deck where I didn't want any over spray.An easy to reach lever on the pump cuts flow to the crop dusting boom when turning around or when I need to use the wand.Overall very pleased with my purchase. Now just need to wait a couple weeks and see how much it helped with the weed situation.

Had to fix leak at drain plug, then it would only build 35 pounds of pressure and only for about 5 minutes. Pressure then drops and stops working. Returned, will find better product. Did not have trouble getting refund, but it too a few days. They were very professional about it, but it did take a few days.

Initially, I arranged for a full refund after assembly and testing however after being so ticked off by this I tinkered with it and managed to get it to work as advertised. Someone here had the same issue with the bottom port leaking I just wrapped Teflon tape several times around and screwed the cap problem was fixed. The next issue was the hand wand hose leak at the pump same thing with Teflon and added a little bit of flexseal problem fixed. I Mounted the tank on the Cub cadet Zero Turn rear and use the stock mower battery for power with no issues and very secure, the bracket to hold it onto the rear is the metal bars that are supposed to hold the bagging unit I'll add a picture. Tip if purchasing this unit from amazon add the 3yr assurion warranty better to be safe than sorry if it craps out.

Works great to distribute weed killer and fertilizer on my lawn and gravel driveway. It is mounted on my atv after bolting 2 by 4’s to it so it would fit on my particular rack. The only problems were, it was leaking at the bottom of the tank from the cap which could not be stopped. I improvised and connected a garden hose and valve so I could drain the last gallon or two into a pump sprayer. Another leak was an o-ring on the plumbing from the top of the pump was damaged from assembly by being pressed together with drill filings in the fitting . I took it apart and replaced the o-ring rather than sending it back and waiting god knows how long. Good thing I’m mechanically able. Otherwise I’m ok with it. We’ll see how long it lasts. Quality control these days has fallen away.

Mounted over the engine of my 0 turn. Product itself needed no modifications and works excellent. I probably didn't actually need this thing but now that I have it I'll probably use it more. So far only once. Only think I didn't like is the way that. The hoses leave the pump assembly and go to the nozzles on the boom. Seems like they could have done something better but it's does work great so I guess it's not important.
