NorthStar ATV Boomless Broadcast & Spot Sprayer — 26-Gallon
Best for extensive, edge-to-edge application, this model eliminates boom arms, which reduces the risk of breakage on uneven terrain. The 14-foot broadcast swath covers wide areas quickly, while the 2.2 GPM on-demand pump delivers steady flow from a 12-volt system. This choice suits large lawns, fields, and property lines where simplicity and durability matter. A potential limitation is the fixed spray width on some configurations, which may be less ideal for narrow strip work.
NorthStar ATV Broadcast & Spot Sprayer With 2-Nozzle Boom — 26 Gallon
Best for users needing precise coverage with independent left/right control, this unit uses a 2-nozzle boom to tailor broadcast, narrow strip, or perimeter patterns. The NSQ on-demand pump runs at 70 PSI with a 100% continuous duty rating, which helps maintain steady output across large jobs. The 26-gallon tank and UV-resistant polymer construction keep chemicals well-mixed. A limitation to note is the require ments for longer runtimes; the system is designed for all-day operation but may require planning for refills on very large sites.
NorthStar ATV Broadcast & Spot Sprayer — 16 Gallon, 2-Nozzle Boom
Choose this if you want a compact yet capable option for medium-sized properties. The 2-nozzle boom with independent left/right control yields flexible coverage, while the 70 PSI NSQ Series pump ensures reliable, high-volume spraying with minimal downtime. The 16-gallon tank is easier to maneuver on tighter trails. Avoid this if you routinely spray very large areas where a bigger tank would reduce frequent refills.
NorthStar Tow-Behind Trailer Boom Sprayer — 21 Gallon
Best for professional-perimeter jobs and frequent transport between sites, this trailer-style sprayer uses a 21-gallon UV-resistant tank and a 2.2 GPM NSQ pump with 70 PSI. The spring-loaded breakaway boom supports rugged terrain and enhances durability. The model’s cart-style design allows field versatility but adds setup complexity compared with stand-atop ATV units. This option is well-suited for contractors handling multi-site properties with longer spray runs.
VEVOR ATV Spot Sprayer — 15.9 Gal
Best for precise, adjustable spot spraying with a compact footprint, this model offers a 1.9 GPM flow at up to 116 PSI and a 20 ft hose for reach. The adjustable rough height and 0-72 PSI range with a built-in gauge provide precise control for species-specific treatment. It’s a solid pick when you need flexible height and reach in tighter landscapes. Note that the smaller tank means more frequent refills on larger sites.
Buying Guide
What size tank do you need? Larger tanks (16–26 gallons) reduce refill interruptions on big properties but add weight and require more space on your ATV or trailer. Consider tank material and chemical compatibility with common products used on lawns and fields. How wide a spray swath do you require? Booms optimize coverage, but a boomless design reduces snag risk in rough terrain. Do you prefer fixed swaths or adjustable, independent nozzle control? Independent nozzle control enables more precise perimeters and strip spraying. Is a built-in spray gun or long reach needed for spot treatment? Models with a deluxe or adjustable spray gun extend reach and reduce repositioning. Finally, think about maintenance and durability—continuous-duty pumps and breakaway booms are designed for heavy use but may require more routine checks.
