Whether you are walking your fields or riding an ATV, the comfortable SHR-210 gas-powered backpack sprayer from Echo is a useful tool for spot spraying fencerows and weed escapes.
The sprayer uses a commercial-grade, dual-ring-piston, two-stroke, 21.2-cc engine with a 17.6-fl.-oz. fuel tank. A diaphragm carburetor maintains the proper mixture of air and fuel for maximum engine performance.
The heavy-duty, 5-gal. sprayer tank is equipped with a recirculating pump, ensuring that chemicals inside the tank remain mixed without building excess pressure. All critical seals and O-rings are made of chemically resistant Viton material. A convenient tank drain allows controlled chemical removal during cleaning.
The SHR-210 can pump 1.9 gal./min. in a controlled, precise spray stream. Pressure rating is up to 145 psi. An optional jet nozzle attachment lets you spray as far as 20 ft.
Price: $569.99. For more information, contact Echo Inc., Dept. FIN, 400 Oakwood Rd., Lake Zurich, IL 60047, 847/540-8400, or visit www.echo-usa.com.
