Husqvarna Backpack Sprayer, 4 Gallon

The Husqvarna backpack sprayer carries 4 gallons on your back for spot spraying, cut-stump treatments, and plant health applications. A pump handle builds pressure as you walk, so both hands stay free to aim the wand.

Where it fits in tree work

Tree crews use a backpack sprayer for cut-stump herbicide on brush clearing jobs, spot spraying around plantings, and plant health treatments that need more volume than a handheld bottle. Four gallons covers a good stretch of right-of-way or a large property without constant refills.

Carrying the load on your back keeps you mobile on slopes and in brush where a cart sprayer will not go.

A good backpack sprayer also helps with vegetation control around storm cleanup sites, along fence lines, and in nursery work where crews need to cover ground on foot.

Use and care

Follow the label on any product you apply; the label is the law, and many products require a license. Wear the PPE the label calls for. Flush the tank, pump, and wand with clean water after each use, and keep separate sprayers for herbicides and other products.

Release pressure before opening the tank, and store the sprayer empty and clean with the pump handle secured. Replace worn gaskets and nozzles early, since a leaking sprayer can put product on your back and legs.

Check seals and the wand shutoff before each job. More landscaper tools are in this section.
