No, you use the battery on your ATV. It comes with a cable with alligator type clips for clipping onto your battery terminals.

The sprayers do not come with a battery since you will be using the 12 volt battery on your atv or garden tractor.

Yes you can. The broadcast nozzle is turned on by turning a valve handle and the wand is activated by a thumb control. Once the broadcast nozzle is turned on it will not shut off until you have closed the valve.

Yes, there is a slight power/pressure drop, but both work great at the same time.

I also purchased the recommended agitation kit with mine and when the agitation kit is running you cannot use the spot gun and the broadcast sprayer is cut to about 20% power/pressure. Regardless this tanks sprayer worked great! Check out my review for pics on mounting to a zero turn mower.

I used a colorant additive without issue in this sprayer. It just needs to be thoroughly mixed. I wouldn't use powders unless you have an agitator.

This broadcast spot sprayer can be used on a trailer that's closer to the ground than a standard ATV rack. However, using it closer to the ground will reduce the overall spray width.

answer 2
I wouldn't see why not... The broadcast nozzle hangs down about 2" or so below the bottum of the tank, your broadcast width would just be narrower. You could also rig up a mount for the broadcast nozzle to raise it up if you want the wider spray.

We made a mounting bracket and put the sprayer right on the back of the riding lawn mower. Should work fine on a small trailer, just make sure your tires can handle the weight when the tank is full.

Northstar Expert
This sprayer must be connected to a 12 volt battery to operate. There are battery clamps (similar to those on the end of jumper cables) and a switch provided with the unit. The battery clamps can be attached to the battery in the atv, tractor, or mower that you are mounting the unit on. If you wish you could use a separate battery to power the unit, however if used in this manner, the battery would need to be charged after each use.

This premium quality NorthStar sprayer features an “on demand” pump. When turned on, the pump will prime itself, then turn off once reaching pressure. When the flow continues, the pump will automatically re-start.

answer 2
The pump operates on a pressure switch so will shut off when all spray valves are closed and the pressure builds up. An on/off toggle switch is also provided inline on the electrical cable hooked to the battery. This switch makes it easy to stop spraying when using the broadcast nozzle especially when driving the atv and turning around at the end of the row or swath. Since the ATV throttle control is on the right handlebar, I position the pump on/off toggle switch so I can operate it with my left hand so I don't waste or overapply expensive chemicals while turning around to begin another swath.

Adding more hose to this NorthStar sprayer will decrease your pressure and is not recommended.

I temporarily rigged up an additional 20 feet for some remote spot spraying in areas my tractor can't go. It worked perfectly fine and I noticed no degradation in pressure or performance. I wouldn't recommend a tremendous length if you are going substantially up hill or into trees, as that might overwork the pump. But I found no issues with limited use with a small rise.
