Small Boom Sprayers for Professional Lawn Care

There are a variety of small boom ride-on sprayers currently available on the market. These are great time and back savers. However, boom sprayers are designed to spray only in straight lines. If the booms are not turned off as you corner, a heavy rate will be applied on the inside of the turn while a low rate will be applied on the outside (see the accompanying photo). These sprayers work great on large properties with lots of open areas, but are not accurate on small areas with obstacles.
