About Spreaders & Sprayers

Broadly speaking, spreaders and sprayers range in scale from a back-mounted tank and sprayer wand to a large, self-propelled sprayer with long, mechanical spray booms and cutting-edge precision ag tech. These applicators are used to apply various types of chemicals, including fertiliser, pesticides, and herbicides, to help plants grow and to protect them from flora and fauna that would otherwise impede their growth. The Spreaders & Sprayer category on this site is further divided into multiple subcategories, including Fertiliser Spreaders, Floaters, Sprayers, Tenders, and an Other spreaders and sprayers section.

Spreader Types

Spreaders include units that hold dry fertiliser in a hopper and often employ a power take-off (PTO)-powered broadcast wheel for application, as well as liquid units with a tank on top that inject fertiliser into the ground. On FarmandPlant.ie, dry fertiliser spreaders are typically more numerous than liquid spreaders and these models often attach to tractor or UTV using a three-point linkage and larger trailed models are often available. Capacities for mounted dry fertiliser spreaders are generally between 1,000 to 4,000 litres (264 to 1,057 gallons), while trailed fertiliser spreaders can provide up to 15,000 L (3,963 gal).

Sprayer Types

Sprayers can be self-propelled, pull-type, or three-point mounted; self-propelled and pull-type models typically feature tall, narrow tires designed to move nimbly through crop rows, and back or side booms that extend far to each side and apply chemicals through evenly spaced spray nozzles. Self-propelled sprayers are all-in-one vehicles fitted with the necessary tank(s), booms, and spraying functionality. Pull-type sprayers have booms of various lengths and are typically powered by the tractor’s PTO. Advancements such as auto boom height control mean the sprayers can work more precisely on a wider variety of crops. Mounted/three-point sprayers typically connect to a tractor or ATV using a three-point hitch, and booms can be mounted on the sprayer itself or under the tractor.

Floaters & Tenders

Floaters are self-propelled applicators with large flotation tyres designed to reduce soil compaction while applying dry or liquid fertiliser. As with spreaders, tenders come in liquid and dry varieties. Liquid tenders are tanks or wagons that are used to transport fertiliser, and dry tenders can be pull-type or mounted hoppers that transport large quantities of dry fertiliser. If none of these subcategories match the new or used spreaders or sprayers you’re looking for, try the Other category, which is where you’ll find items such as weed removal systems.
