This is the Field King 2 gallons sprayer (affiliate link) amzn.to/3upF6wG there are some issues with some of them not re-pressuring fast enough. I experienced this when I did my second spray app. I have sent an email to my contact at The FountainHead Group to see if he has any explanation for what's going on. I've heard from enough of you to believe this is an ongoing issue.
Looking to redo my lawn... I burned off the old lawn and now looking at a desert landscape... Should I treat my soil all summer until fall seeding??? If so what do you recommend for emending my soil???
I was doing my Humic 12 app this weekend and was running into this problem. I would manually drop the pressure myself to get the pump to kick back on. It seemed to work better with the flood jet than when I used the red tip.
Ryobi’s backpack sprayer has worked out pretty well for me. Battery powered. Pretty affordable. It doesn’t pressurize the tank, but instead just pressurizes the hose, so you could spray even with the lid off (not that you would). I’ve found it sprays a gallon in 2.5 minutes on the highest setting. The tip it comes with seems to work just fine. It maintains constant pressure for as long as you hold the trigger. Hopefully it lasts for awhile. Only use it for around the house
I've retired all of those hose end sprayers I've acquired over the years and my Chapin backpack sprayer, but they are there just in case I ever need a backup. They required too much setup and time. Now, I only use the Flowzone Typhoon 2 and a couple TeeJet nozzles (AIC 11010 and XRC 8006). This combination is a beast and covers all my spraying needs and can spray anything. I mix my solution in a 5 gallon buck with a drill and mixer and pour into sprayer.
@LCN, what is your opinion on the sprinkler injection systems. My grandfather custom built a system inside the garage that is scheduled into their sprinkler system via valves, they have it piped in on a secondary main line water intake that blocks the main line and forces the well water through the line that pulls the fertilizer and other chemicals he adds. They do a scheduled once a month fertilizer on their entire property which uses the sprinklers for application that is siphoned out of 5 gallon bucket he mixes the chemicals into. They use masterblend fertilizer on St Augustine because he swears by it and can get it in large 55lb sacks rather cheaply.
Tried the Ortho sprayer, it was a no go. Basic hose end sprayer works fine for my Bio Pack liquids. Compute amount of liquid per sq ft and go. Supplement with , as you said , a basic pump sprayer.
God bless you Allen. I am in the beginner level. Bought your starter fertilizer and i bought this 2 lb sprayer, and started listening to your podcasts. I am learning so much! Thank you! Now that I have not burned our yard my husband is starting to listen to what you have taught me, lol. He even has some coworkers asking what fertilizer would be recommended for them after this hard freeze we took in South Texas! 😆 Cant wait until you come out with that 4lb backpack 🎒 as well! God bless you in Jesus name. 🙏🏽☀️🤠🌳🪴💐
What a tease! I just told my wife I was looking for a backpack sprayer this weekend. I need to lay down some Celsius WG for lawn burweed. Now today, I’m putting the spread sheet together for FULL LIQUID. Gotta love a 25,000 sq/ft yard.
I think we all appreciate the value you provide. I'll still be picking up the field king for now and when I want to graduate to something larger I'll get yours.
Can’t wait for your sprayer! You have a sale here for sure!! Can’t wait to see the future video on it!!! I have an older model field king and it hasn’t given me any issues to date.
Great comparison of “erbs” that get watered in verses those that stay on top and also items that can be mixed together. Overall full of great info for the DYI’s. Don’t get to riled up over the guys that cut corners. Life is too short as they say. 😁Thank you Allen!
Awesome video! I just received my Field King yesterday. I got sick and tired of the ortho sprayer and dealing with the hose. I just need to order the right tip now and I’ll be set.
We use an anti-foam called Shake Down by BASF. We spray a lot of fence lines for cropland, and around the farm yard with different herbicides that tend to foam. This stuff lets us fill more in our 15 and 40 gallon atv sprayers without making a mess. Doesn't seem to affect the performance of the herbicide or NIS. You can get it at tractor supply and stores like it, and you use less than a drop for each fill. We've had the same 1 liter bottle for 3 years now
Happy belated Easter Allyn. You’re my go to guy. Was looking at both Scott’s and Field King battery powered sprayers on Amazon this morn. Was lucky enough to see your most recent video talk about issues about this particular sprayer; battery output and battery short life. I’ll save my money and wait for yours to come out, regardless of how long that might take. These other products seem too ‘hit and miss’. Thanks for being there!
Only 6 seconds in and grateful for this video as I've been wondering what to do with both my orthos. The canisters never sit right, it gets clogged in different spots, it leaks, etc.
'It works ... because ... that's the one I have!' Yeah buddy, that's us regular Joe's out there! Good video today. Lawns up here in Palm Harbor are looking good. It's gonna be a good year.
I'm getting the Field King for the meantime, but I will want one of your backpack sprayers! I have a Stihl now but it's a 5 gallon pump - and it is torture keeping that thing pumped.
Beautiful weather in your old stomping grounds this weekend. I grew up in Tinley and now live in Palos Park. FLA is nice, but as you know, springtime in Chicago is fantastic. Just put down NEXT-Rgs on 25,000 sqft. Thanks for the Videos.
I have the Husqvarna version of this unit, but they appear identical. My powerhead quit working on about the 5th tank of liquid. I called Fountainhead for a warranty replacement and while they conducted the conversation with an "its all your fault" attitude, they did agree to send a replacement in the name of customer relations. Once the new unit arrived, I disassembled the old powerhead and found the problem was a poor factory solder job which connected the battery wire to the motor. It simply vibrated apart. I plan to buy your new sprayer as soon as it hits the market. Thanks for making that happen.
As I have explored the Fountainhead Group I have found that they put a lot of different names on the same sprayer. They license the brand as a way to sell product so for sure the Huqvarna is pretty much the same. They have a Scotts version too.
I have no problem with the ortho hose end sprayer. I do use a pump sprayer (Hudson’s sprayer non battery sprayer ) for my green Effect 7-0-0 app. No issues.
Haha, you're right about kitchen spoons LOL. I've seen the rush of new sprayers hitting and I find myself thinking which of them will be solid for the long haul. I am and will always be a LCN because I trust your advice and commitment to the community. I have had quite the saga with sprayers, so I'm definitely looking forward to what you're going to drop.
Thanks Allyn! Been catching up on the blogs. Helpful info on the tips. Bought the Field King last summer and don't recall any issues while using it. Did buy the Petrus HD4000 4 Gal Back Sprayer over the winter. Breaking it out this week. Look forward to seeing the YM 4 Gal Sprayer. Hope you had a good Easter.
For me the Field King 2 gallon, which I purchased February 6, 2021, works well and has a consistent pressure. Problem is it appears to be 10 PSI and not 20 PSI as advertised. So all my times are doubled. That's fine for me cause I like an easy walk and not a rushed one.
Love my TimeCutter. It is very aptly named. Adding the recycling kit, striping kit, and a pull-behind core aerator to it has launched me much farther into the neighborly domination horizon.
I had one and it was probably the worst hose end sprayer I’ve tried. It’s shape and size makes it very uncomfortable to use, and it’s a bit bulky on the end of a hose. I stopped using it after a few weeks when it started leaking from the handle seams, and left it in the back yard. A few months later I went to move it and the bottle started cracking, so the plastic used has very weak UV protection. I didn’t bother getting it replaced because I didn’t want another one! The Chameleon hose end sprayer from Home Depot, and it’s much better!
Always great content! And thank you for your honesty, so many people are just pushing a product to get something free for themselves regardless the quality.
@@frankieb8974 you can spray that in one tank as long as you have a 7:1 ratio water to product so a 2 gallon tank would be 32 oz of Green Pop. Fountainhead group does make a 3 gallon that fits this head, so that’s how I’m going to run it 😎
Great instruction as always. Bought a backpack sprayer and used for the first time today. Definitely had to put “some ass into it” going to study your t-jet tips vs what I added on.
I've been watching a lot of your videos and I love them! I know I'm commenting on an older video, but please continue your uploads and advice! Really, really appreciating your time and knowledge. Cheers!
I love the pump zero. I have multiple 1 gallon bowling pins, get you a round up pin, bio stimulant, insecticide, etc pin. Less risk of accidentally killing your lawn.
I was about to buy one but ill wait till you come out with one of your one , hopefully you have a 2 gallon option since i dont need a 4 gallon back pack 😎👍
Al ...that SA just keeps hummin!...beautiful baby ...gonna throw down some Q4 with my FKing this week..happy with it so far 🤞...Happy Easter brother!☮️✝️
A suggestion for your backpack sprayer is a pressure gage, showing the discharge pressure of the pump. It would help in selecting the right spray tip that puts out 1 gal for a given pressure. I guess I have another suggestion, incorporating the measurement increments of the liquid as part of the tank, raised numbers not painted. Currently I have a back pack sprayer that has a sticker showing the gallon increments which I hate.
I bought a field king sprayer last year and can say I experience the same battery issue. I'm at the point I have to manually push the button myself every other pass to keep the pressure charged. I still like it over the manual pump sprayers though.
Update. Was on my second season with it and the battery crapped out. Won't even re-charge. Good news is I sprung for a Yard Mastery 4-Gallon Battery Backpack Sprayer. I love that thing!
Was actually just about to purchase one of these based on your previous videos. But now I’ll wait for your backpack sprayer! Yay! I assume it will be battery powered for consistent and repeatable application rates? Whatever you do I know it will be great.! God bless you sir.
I bought a 2 gallon Sprayers Plus battery sprayer a few years back and it works really well. I’ve tank mixed a few things in it and it keeps the flow consistent. But I think the nature of the beast with anything mass produced is there will always be bad items that don’t work as well as they should.
Guess I’m one of the few who never had any issues with them. But I did switch to a backpack sprayer so can do more spraying easier. CANT WAIT FOR A SPRAYER WITH YOUR NAME ON IT! 😀😀
I’ve had good success with the my4sons backpack sprayer. You got one but didn’t seem that impressed. Looking forward to what you come up with! Gotta love a solid backpack sprayer.
Yep. I will absolutely be waiting for the backpack sprayer. I know it’s going to be good if your putting your name behind it. I’ll tough it out with the pump sprayer for now. By the way, your granular fert that you sell works great in the earth way spreaders. Didn’t have to do the bounce move at all. Lol. Keep up the good work. Keep dominating.
Ha! I’ve started push mowing my 2 acre property because I’m fat. Beyond the exercise, the decrease in tire pressure on the ground is making the grass grow much better. Tire tracks disappear in days as opposed to never.
A few years ago, I ended up with a Grounds Wheelie II because I got a great deal on a used one that just needed new hoses; it's overkill for my little yard, but it gets the job done in record time. If I ever need another sprayer, I'll have to keep the forthcoming battery powered backpack sprayer in mind though!
I'm sure this has been asked before but can I put all 4 of the bio-stim pack in a 2 gallon sprayer? I have only 1000 square feet of lawn and will be doing 3 ounces of each monthly like castleBerry suggested. So 12 ounces total of the 4 bio-stim products in the sprayer
Mr. Allyn Hane - Thanks for another great video - I am going to purchase the Field King Tank but cannot use the Celsius product in my TTTF lawns what alternatives-substitutes would you recommend. Thanks!
I've used a Ryobi sprayer for the last 2 years but I only use it for spraying pesticides around the house and weed and grass killer in the rock areas out front.
1. Yard Mastery app has a measuring tool which is awesome! 2. I am going to explore this sprayer and buy it. I have one for weed killers that I keep separate from fertilizers and what not. 3. I did the Milky Spore grub control that says after two seasons of applications, it’s good for a decade or more. Should I wing it this season to see if it’s true, or get ahead of it and buy the grub control again? Thanks Al!
Any chance you have tried this nozzle for finer sprays? XR11004VS Extended Range Spray Tip, 0.18-0.37 GPM, 30-60 psi, Stainless Steel - Red. Discovered it on Princess Cut Lawn Care who you know well. Can be purchased on Amazon and Sprayer Depot as well. Many thanks for all the great info. I now have neighbors asking me what my magic is when they see my front lawn. And my answer? The Lawn Care Nut!
Al, its great that your gonna come out with a backpack sprayer; but while that is being developed can you please come out with a 2gallon sprayer as well for us DIYers that don't necessarily need/want a backpack sprayer! Thanks. Keep up the great video content!!!
LCN, I'm curious if you have any recommendations for a fan tip for the Field King. I read your blog on the sprayer tips and see that you mention using the stock tip for the fan spray with more of a mist for leaf application in this video. Have you come to any conclusions? I was looking at Sprayer Plus' site and am thinking the XR8003VS Tee Jet might work for me, but I'm not sure if I'm reading things on there like I should. There is a ton of information on their site to soak in for sure. Thank you for all you do.
Hope you had a great Easter!! I have one of those 2 gallon sprayers and its worked good so far, also bought a Flozone Cyclone 2 backpack and love that to death. I cant wait to see what yall put out on the market!! :)
Thank you for sharing your knowledge, your videos are great. I have a rather large lawn(3 acres) and I need some tips on getting rid of wild strawberries in my lawn. Any tips to get them under control?
I wish you would show a video that discusses using a riding lawnmower pulling small battery operator sprayers and the tips to use for those of us that have larger lots and want to do our own lawn and garden care.
I’ve had several MANUAL 4gal backpack sprayers. Will definitely check yours out. But please incorporate the mixing paddles like was the Field King Max uses. And if you can increase the PSI to help mist for foliar applications, that would be a bonus!
Happy Easter. I upgraded to a hand pump backpack sprayer and plan to upgrade to a battery backpack sprayer, and have the older backpack sprayer for the "ides".
Have the field king after trying the ortho and some other sprayers and a hand pump one... so glad to have it now. It saves me from so many headaches. Sprayed down the prodiamine a few weeks ago and the RGS/AIR8 last week
Quick question ., an adjunent makes a product stick to the leaf and a surfactant makes the product go into the soil better, correct?. Also to help with the the foam they sell a product on Amazon called no foam. It's been a good product for keeping the foam at bay, a little goes a long way too.
Pro tip with all of the humic acid products....potassium hydroxide in water will dissolve the dark brown humic acid stains in the tank. You can get dry chips from a chemical supplier very cheap. Makes my Ortho or backpack sprayer look new.
Al, that’s great to hear that you’ll be coming out with your own sprayer. Lookin’ forward to buying one. In the meantime, I have 5k SF so the one featured in this video would need to be filled up 3x’s. Any suggestions on what to use until yours is released? Thanks.
I have the Scotts battery sprayer.....have had it years, didn't know better buy field king but I've made it work. And it works okay. But I really like my Ortho Dial and spray too. I do make sure to clean it super well every time I use it. I clean the tank and run a bunch of clean water through it. Bottom line for me is i like the ortho for doing biostims....I have small yards, only 3600sqft or so. But I do like to be able to tank mix in a pre emergent when it's that time of year. I have uses for each.
Watching now, but just based on the title alone I wish I'd had this before this past Saturday. I did three apps on my 9,500 patch. Took a few hours with the Ortho. I'd love to have gotten it done in one pass. I think I'm going to need the 4-gal backpack version though. I've got a 4 gal pump backpack now for my "ides", but I've never tried it with my Next products. Might just have to wait for yours. Let me know if you need a BETA tester! :)

Great video!!! Look forward to the sprayers in the future . You should do both the 4 gal and the 2 gal one. Keep up the great work!!!
thank you!
Guess I’m one of the few who never had any issues with them. But I did switch to a backpack sprayer so can do more spraying easier. CANT WAIT FOR A SPRAYER WITH YOUR NAME ON IT! 😀😀
I enjoyed the Heavy D tweet and now the end of this video. You're on fire this week. It's nice to see this side of you. :)
I am chilled out from the race now lol
Your turf looks well for spring 😊👍
I’ve had good success with the my4sons backpack sprayer. You got one but didn’t seem that impressed. Looking forward to what you come up with! Gotta love a solid backpack sprayer.
Yep. I will absolutely be waiting for the backpack sprayer. I know it’s going to be good if your putting your name behind it. I’ll tough it out with the pump sprayer for now. By the way, your granular fert that you sell works great in the earth way spreaders. Didn’t have to do the bounce move at all. Lol. Keep up the good work. Keep dominating.
Happy Easter 🐣 hope the water issue over by there gets fix
thanks, I'm 5 miles from there - no issues so far
Ha! I’ve started push mowing my 2 acre property because I’m fat. Beyond the exercise, the decrease in tire pressure on the ground is making the grass grow much better. Tire tracks disappear in days as opposed to never.
Thanks for your honesty.
A few years ago, I ended up with a Grounds Wheelie II because I got a great deal on a used one that just needed new hoses; it's overkill for my little yard, but it gets the job done in record time. If I ever need another sprayer, I'll have to keep the forthcoming battery powered backpack sprayer in mind though!
10 seconds in and I already love this video 🤣😂
thanks bro!
@@TheLawnCareNut I made the jump this season already but to see you doing the same is awesome
If you are making a 4gal backpack I hope you are going to release a small one as well as it is always nice for smaller spaces, spot spraying etc.
I'm sure this has been asked before but can I put all 4 of the bio-stim pack in a 2 gallon sprayer? I have only 1000 square feet of lawn and will be doing 3 ounces of each monthly like castleBerry suggested. So 12 ounces total of the 4 bio-stim products in the sprayer
He is Risen!!!
Mr. Allyn Hane - Thanks for another great video - I am going to purchase the Field King Tank but cannot use the Celsius product in my TTTF lawns what alternatives-substitutes would you recommend. Thanks!
Suggestions for pump spraying a larger lawn (15,000 sq/ft)? I like the pump spraying just takes so many fills with a 3/4 gal pump sprayer.
I've used a Ryobi sprayer for the last 2 years but I only use it for spraying pesticides around the house and weed and grass killer in the rock areas out front.
1. Yard Mastery app has a measuring tool which is awesome!
2. I am going to explore this sprayer and buy it. I have one for weed killers that I keep separate from fertilizers and what not.
3. I did the Milky Spore grub control that says after two seasons of applications, it’s good for a decade or more. Should I wing it this season to see if it’s true, or get ahead of it and buy the grub control again?
Thanks Al!
Any chance you have tried this nozzle for finer sprays? XR11004VS Extended Range Spray Tip, 0.18-0.37 GPM, 30-60 psi, Stainless Steel - Red. Discovered it on Princess Cut Lawn Care who you know well. Can be purchased on Amazon and Sprayer Depot as well. Many thanks for all the great info. I now have neighbors asking me what my magic is when they see my front lawn. And my answer? The Lawn Care Nut!
I buy a $15 pump spray with a fan tip and it works great for herbicides, and bios. I also use it for my home pesticide treatment.
god bless you for putting the “it’s so fwustwating” clip from Beer Fest in there. Popo deserved what he got.
Beer fest!
@@904Sharker lol You got it :-)
The frog gamy was better.. Lol
and just realized I said Super Troopers instead of Beer Fest in my first comment... LCN can take my man card now.
Such a great movie
Al, its great that your gonna come out with a backpack sprayer; but while that is being developed can you please come out with a 2gallon sprayer as well for us DIYers that don't necessarily need/want a backpack sprayer! Thanks. Keep up the great video content!!!
that will be next for sure!
LCN, I'm curious if you have any recommendations for a fan tip for the Field King. I read your blog on the sprayer tips and see that you mention using the stock tip for the fan spray with more of a mist for leaf application in this video. Have you come to any conclusions? I was looking at Sprayer Plus' site and am thinking the XR8003VS Tee Jet might work for me, but I'm not sure if I'm reading things on there like I should. There is a ton of information on their site to soak in for sure. Thank you for all you do.
Dude the Spaceballs references were hysterical!!! Thanks again for another fantastic video!!
its the most quoted movie in my house lol
Hope you had a great Easter!! I have one of those 2 gallon sprayers and its worked good so far, also bought a Flozone Cyclone 2 backpack and love that to death. I cant wait to see what yall put out on the market!! :)
the Flozone are excellent quality - can't go wrong there
Happy Easter, pretty cool to hear about the YM planned equipment line :)
Happy Easter to you and yours, Allyn.
you too Ben, thank you!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge, your videos are great. I have a rather large lawn(3 acres) and I need some tips on getting rid of wild strawberries in my lawn. Any tips to get them under control?
Hey LCN I was wondering what Water Hose Sprayer that you used when you was doing the latest video on spraying for bugs, spiders & mosquitoes
I wish you would show a video that discusses using a riding lawnmower pulling small battery operator sprayers and the tips to use for those of us that have larger lots and want to do our own lawn and garden care.
I’ve had several MANUAL 4gal backpack sprayers. Will definitely check yours out. But please incorporate the mixing paddles like was the Field King Max uses. And if you can increase the PSI to help mist for foliar applications, that would be a bonus!
Happy Easter. I upgraded to a hand pump backpack sprayer and plan to upgrade to a battery backpack sprayer, and have the older backpack sprayer for the "ides".
Have the field king after trying the ortho and some other sprayers and a hand pump one... so glad to have it now. It saves me from so many headaches.
Sprayed down the prodiamine a few weeks ago and the RGS/AIR8 last week
Quick question ., an adjunent makes a product stick to the leaf and a surfactant makes the product go into the soil better, correct?. Also to help with the the foam they sell a product on Amazon called no foam. It's been a good product for keeping the foam at bay, a little goes a long way too.
Pro tip with all of the humic acid products....potassium hydroxide in water will dissolve the dark brown humic acid stains in the tank. You can get dry chips from a chemical supplier very cheap. Makes my Ortho or backpack sprayer look new.
Al, that’s great to hear that you’ll be coming out with your own sprayer. Lookin’ forward to buying one.
In the meantime, I have 5k SF so the one featured in this video would need to be filled up 3x’s. Any suggestions on what to use until yours is released? Thanks.
I have the Scotts battery sprayer.....have had it years, didn't know better buy field king but I've made it work. And it works okay. But I really like my Ortho Dial and spray too. I do make sure to clean it super well every time I use it. I clean the tank and run a bunch of clean water through it. Bottom line for me is i like the ortho for doing biostims....I have small yards, only 3600sqft or so. But I do like to be able to tank mix in a pre emergent when it's that time of year. I have uses for each.
Watching now, but just based on the title alone I wish I'd had this before this past Saturday. I did three apps on my 9,500 patch. Took a few hours with the Ortho. I'd love to have gotten it done in one pass. I think I'm going to need the 4-gal backpack version though. I've got a 4 gal pump backpack now for my "ides", but I've never tried it with my Next products. Might just have to wait for yours. Let me know if you need a BETA tester! :)
