Love the vid/s! It's nice to see a lawn guy from this side of the globe dealing with our conditions. I'm looking forward to following your journey. 👍

I just bought the 417LI Solo backpack sprayer after buying the 10L two weeks ago. 10L just wasn't enough to efficiently do 1/2 an acre. I really like the draining nozzle feature @2:56, it will make it much easier to clean the sprayer after use. Great video as usual!

Wow! Your neighbors have a beautiful soil !

Solo makes quality stuff! I've never been disappointed with anything solo! Great video mate!

I’ve been eyeing the solo backpack sprayer for Christmas. Looked like the best quality to me, so glad you did this!

I've been using a Selecta battery powered backpack sprayer for a few years now. Works well. Handy to be able to drain the tank from the bottom though.

Any update on how the 417 has been for you?

[michaelpeake]

Great vid thanks mate! May I ask, do you use the same backpack for all your products such as fertiliser, fungicide, insecticide, herbicides, etc? If you do; do you just wash out the pack with water or do use something else to clean it when switching products?

[stephenperich]

How much water did you use for the 100 sqm?

[OnTVaustralia]

Great vid! Did you end up adding a boom ? And if so which one?

[raymondjoyner]

Thanks for the review. How is the sprayer holding up?

Hey Ben, i was keen on the nozzles used here. Followed the links from the notes, but the links are not working anymore. Any chance of letting me know what they are and anywhere I could get them from now.
Cheers

Hey Buddy, Whats the reason for not applying herbicide when still frosty conditions? Can it not be taken up in the leaf?

[cgoiugd]

Hi Ben
I'm trying to find your vid where you get annoyed that it always leaves last 2L of fluid, I'm using double nozzle boom and I remmeber you solved this issue,
Was it using a pressure regulator tip?

[davereid]

Hey Ben, I bought the female thread check valve after your humid acid vid but it doesn't connect to a swagman. Do you know if a male thread would work?
