Product Summary

The NorthStar Tow-Behind Trailer Boom/Broadcast/Spot Sprayer combines boom, broadcast and spot spraying capabilities for versatile property maintenance. Its 21-gal. tank offers a compact, manageable size while reducing refill frequency, and the 12V NorthStar NSQ Series diaphragm pump delivers up to 2.2 GPM and 70 max. PSI. The broadcast boom provides a 120in. spray width with 80in. effective coverage and 40in. overlap, while a pressure regulator with built-in agitation helps maintain chemical circulation. An integrated pressure gauge allows precise monitoring, and the adjustable spray gun switches between straight stream and hollow cone patterns for targeted applications. Foldable breakaway boom arms, wide-tread turf tires and a tow-behind design support maneuverability across lawns and fields. Additional features include a remote on/off switch, suction strainer, bottom tank drain and integrated hose and gun storage. Designed for use with ATVs, UTVs and lawn tractors, the NorthStar Tow-Behind Trailer Boom/Broadcast/Spot Sprayer provides efficient spraying performance for smaller acreages and hard-to-reach areas.

  1. Will my 22 hp JD lawn tractor pull the sprayer when the tank is full?

    1. Yes. Easily. I tow mine with a John Deere D 140. No issues. Just be careful over muddy ground.

      Helpful?

    2. My lawn is 20,000 sq ft. (basically 1/2 acre). I spray at 30 PSI, and my tank will be empty when I'm finished. I run the tractor at approximately 2 mph.

      Helpful?

    3. I pull mine with 24 hp Husqvarna with no problem. Property has some pretty steep slopes.

      Helpful?

    4. Yes it will. My Husqvarna pulls it fine without any problem. Steep hills would be an issue but no problem on level ground and rolling hills.

      Helpful?

    5. Yes easily.

      Helpful?

    6. Without any trouble...GIT R Dun

      Helpful?

    7. Yes. I have a 25 HP lawn mower and it pulls the sprayer fine.

      Helpful?

    8. My John Deere LA 145 pulls it easily.

      Helpful?

    9. A 22 horsepower tractor will easily pull the NorthStar Tow-Behind Boom Broadcast and Spot Sprayer with a full tank.

      Helpful?

    10. easy, I have a JD 22 HP and you cant even tell its back there.

      Helpful?

  2. Can one of the boom sprayers be turned off and still leave the other boom sprayer turned on?

    1. Yes it can and either can be adjusted for spray angle.

      Helpful?

    2. Yes, each boom spray has a valve you can turn on or off independently.

      Helpful?

    3. Yes. You can also fold back one side and use the other

      Helpful?

    4. Yes there is a cut off on both booms. You can run one boom, 2 booms, or both booms and the hand held sprayer and it all works great.

      Helpful?

    5. Yes. Each arm has its own on/off valve.

      Helpful?

    6. Yes, there is shut off valves on each boom.

      Helpful?

    7. Yes

      Helpful?

    8. Yes you can. The sprayer is extremely flexible with using either the booms or than hand sprayer.

      Helpful?

    9. This sprayer has boom arms that can be turned on/off separately to allow for better coverage control.

      Helpful?

  3. can the boom sprayers be pointed out instead of down

    I need to spray a deep ditch and need to have the boom sprayers pointing out instead of down is that possible?

    1. this sprayer also comes with a wand sprayer so you should be able to just us the wand sprayer from the top of the ditch

      Helpful?

    2. You can easily turn the spray nozzles to spray horizontally. You could close the valve on one of the nozzles and only spray from the other side. Or you could close both spray nozzles and just use the spot sprayer, which would be my choice.

      Helpful?

    3. The spray nozzles can be adjusted to spray in different directions.

      Helpful?

    4. Yes, you can loosen the spray tips and twist them to aim as you like.

      Helpful?

    5. The boom sprayer is not able to be turned to spray out.

      Helpful?

  4. 2.2 GPM, is that adjustable?

    I want to know if i can reduce the flow so it does not burn threw the whole 21 gallon tank in 10 min. My lawn tractor does not go that fast

    1. Yes you can by turning down the pressure regulator.
      That will lower the flow rate.

      Helpful?

    2. The pressure adjustment can be adjusted from a high of 100 PSI downward, Works just like the pressure adjustment on a portable air tank.
      This would allow you to control volume of spray. If you wanted to control additional control of spray volume, each boom sprayer has a valve you can adjust as well.

      Helpful?

    3. You can it has a pressure regulator on the tank.

      Helpful?

    4. You will want to adjust the pressure on the NorthStar Tow-Behind Boom Broadcast and Spot Sprayer to match the speed of your lawn tractor and the chemical manufacturer's recommendations. Lowering the pressure to match your speed will ensure proper application of the chemical.

      Helpful?

  5. Can a hitch ball assembly be used instead of a pin attachment?

    I would want to use a hitch ball assembly for use with my tractor as I use it to pull trailers and other equipment with a two inch ball. Can the hitch assembly be adapted to hold a mount to attach to tractor's using a ball?

    1. The easiest solution would be to remove the ball from the tractor coupler. The hitch will fit right over your coupler and secure with the hitch pin.

      Helpful?

    2. Yes, I just bought a 2" hitch and drilled 2 holes into the box iron. Works well. I wired my unit to my mower with a cigarette lighter plug too.

      Helpful?

    3. Northern Tool currently does not offer an option to use a ball coupler for this sprayer. If the sprayer was altered to use a ball coupler the sprayer has to be level for proper operation and this may void the manufacturer's warranty.

      Helpful?

  6. What is the volume sprayed at 5 mph?

    I have a Husqvarna Zero Turn that I intend to run at about 5 mph for my spraying operation. What volume per acre can I expect from the boom on this rig at that speed (5 mph). Need to calibrate my chemicals properly, and also know if I need to slow down.

    Thanks.

    1. We paced off distance on driveway and used water to make test runs and adjust flow.

      Helpful?

    2. Spray pressure is adjustable. The owner's manual contains tables on how to control speed and pressure to obtain desired gallons per acre.

      Helpful?

    3. The NorthStar Tow-Behind Boom Broadcast and Spot Sprayer will put out 23.8 gallons per acre at 40 psi with a spray height of 21 inches traveling at 5 mph. This is based on a 40 inch spacing.

      Helpful?

  7. Does pump-regulator have a bypass return to tank?

    1. Yes

      Helpful?

    2. when you cut off the remote switch when using the spray booms, the sprayer quits. When you are using the spray wand, it only sprays when you pull the trigger. There is no wasted product.

      Helpful?

    3. The pump-regulator does have a bypass return to the tank.

      Helpful?

  8. Tank design - Will it empty completely

    Is the tank designed such that the intake line for the pump is at a low point of the tank, thus allowing the pump to draw nearly all the liquid?

    1. Yes, the intake sits at the back of the tank and touches the bottom to draw almost all of the liquid out. Usually when unscrew the plug I have about a cup of liquid leftover.

      Helpful?

    2. The draw tube (intake/suction line) does reach a low point in the tank so it will draw nearly all of the liquid.

      Helpful?

  9. is there an extension for the spray wand

    1. No, but it will spray several feet anyway.

      Helpful?

    2. At this time there is no extension for the spray wand available through Northern Tool.

      Helpful?

  10. Can it be used with a separate battery?

    Can this sprayer be used when connecting to a separate battery (not the one in you ATV/tractor)?

    1. Yes, some people will often use a spare car battey and mount it close to the sprayer. Just need 12 volts to run the pump.

      Helpful?

    2. This sprayer can be used with a separate battery; however, the spray time may not be as long as when it is used with a connected battery. If a separate battery is used, it needs to be a deep cycle battery rated at a minimum of 30 ampere hours (Ah). A separate 30 Ah battery will last approximately 1 hour.
