PetraTools HD14000 Prime Pushcart Sprayer

I spray weed-killer on a one acre limestone parking lot and nineteen camprground lots. I spray about 40 gallons of Round-up three times per growing season. The 13 gallon Petra sprayer worked flawlessly during last growing season. I am beginning the second season with this sprayer. The hose is nice for the spraying of a large areas without having to constantly move the sprayer. When movement is necessary the reel works as designed to roll up the 100 feet hose. The sprayer when full of weed killer is heavy but still movable by a person of average strength. Persons of smaller stature may choose to utilize less gallons of product to reduce problems with moving the sprayer. One of the many wands is ideal for weed killer. The adjustable spray control is a nice addition and works well. The tool box mounted on top of the tank is easily accessible and has controls which are easy to operate. This sprayer is not over-engineered. It works as designed. It is notch above homeowner quality of construction but not of commercial quality. It is a reasonable buy for the price. It rolls easy on hard surfaces but takes effort to roll on limestone parking areas and grassy areas. The small pump seems adequate. The charger worked properly. The battery will last all day long. I do not have to recharge halfway through a day long spraying job. Should the lead acid battery wear out as all will do with the passage of years it will be easy to remove the old battery and replace it with a new one. The standardness of the 12 volt lead acid battery is a plus. All of the hose connections worked as designed. I would have given the sprayer a rating of "five" if it had larger rear wheels allowing easier movement on limestone parking areas. I had no problem with tipping. It has never tipped over while in use. It is also light enough for an average man to lift it onto the bed of a pick up truck when the water tank is empty. I assembled this unit more than a year ago and do not remember any assembly problems. I waited until I used this sprayer a full season before submitting this review.
