BIG AREA, BIG RESULTS? GO FOR A MOTORISED SPRAYER.

Motorised sprayers offer all that and more when it comes to efficiency and ease of use. Husqvarna motorised backpack sprayers, for example, are durable, reliable and simple to use – just right for applying pesticide, growth regulators or herbicide at regular intervals.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR IN A MOTORISED SPRAYER
  1. Power and performance: A strong sprayer designed to ensure even and consistent application is essential to efficient agricultural work. Driven by powerful engines, Husqvarna sprayers come in a variety of models and offer constant pressure and consistent spraying.. The large mixture tank is made of see-through material, allowing you to see how much liquid is left in the tank at any time. The results? Faster work time, improved coverage, and increased productivity.
