I have been liscensed for two years now, and I have been doing fert and squirt for about 10 of my customers, I have been spot spraying weeds with backpack and I am looking to step up to skid sprayer. I want to know how easy it is to get skid on and off truck because I don't plan on keeping skid on truck all the time

Its not hard but it all depend on what you have to load it with i use a tractor with forks when i first got it i unloaded it buy hand but was to heavy to put back on by hand but you can impervise and make it work out ok

You will learn to spray to empty EVERY day. That thing gains about 50 lb every time I load and unload it.

Do you plan to hook up the electric hose reel? You would have to disconnect the wires every time also. I take mine out once a year for winter. We slide them onto stacked pallets that are the same height as the truck. Every week would get old quick.

I guess I should ask what skid sprayer set up on the market would be the easiest to get on and off. I am thinking of getting the 50 gallon unit since I don't have that may accounts, and I should have room to grow with the 50 gallon unit because it sure beats 4 gallon backpacks
