Ride on Mower sprayer for Weed Control

Pious14

The grass in my lawn has started competing with a lot of weeds. My lawn is 3/4 acre so need something to spray weeds with. Having researched I have come across an attachment for my ride on mower.

Has anyone got experience of this or a similar product for their ride on mower? As this product is quite expensive I was wondering has anyone used this and has it been worthwhile. Also what have you sprayed the lawn with?

Looks pretty useful actually....I thought I was going to have to lash out €500+ for an agri-fab tow behind sprayer like this:

but maybe the Suipco one will save me a few quid...

Large lawn here too.....

What would you recommend to spray lawn with? I just want to control weeds for now as lawn is growing very quick. Was thinking grazon 90?

Looks good but doesn't have the boom sprayer which I think is a must for such a big area. When you add the price of the boom sprayer it works out similar. I'm still on the look out

And getting it latched onto the back of your mower might be a problem.

What exactly is a boom sprayer?

The suipco sprayer gives you the option to choose your make of Lawnmower and is tailored to fit where the collection unit is mounted. I'm sure other models are the same. A boom sprayer is basically a line of sprays attaching to the unit to give more complete cover rather than just a handheld sprayer. They are very expensive though for something you might you use two or three times a year
