I got one but can you believe it I got it from Northen before Agri started to carry them. The 25 is better than the 14 because it has the better pump. I have a boom kit for it and unless I am crazy (don't answer that) Agri sells a premade boom kit for that sprayer that bolts to the frame and is quite nice. I use mine behind a lawn mower, four wheeler, JD Gator and the tractor. It works great on a four wheeler or gator to spray wetter areas (ie Buried Tractor Prevention) or we have used it on fields of alfalfa to spot spray grass early when the fields are too wet to even think about spraying with the tractor and John Blue. The wand is an excellent way to go through the woods spraying wisteria vines, spraying briars in the pastures or spraying along fences to keep the weeds off them. I got mine 10 years ago and love it. It does not replace a fullsized rig for doing large acreage but it does compliment one. One alternative you might consider is the trailer one with booms for $269 that you can add the wand to for $30. That could be pulled anywhere by anything as long as you bolted a battery to it.

I strongly recommend owning one for use around the farm but if you are looking for an acreage sprayer you might be disappointed, not in the performance but in the time it will take to cover. Even 25 gals won't do well covering more than 2 acres. If you want to spray a couple of acres here and there it should work fine plus the added capabilities with the wand.
