SUMMARY
A backpack sprayer designed specifically for herbicide application, featuring low-pressure spraying and dedicated nozzles for even coverage with reduced drift and less waste.
FEATURES
- Made in Japan quality control: Thorough quality control is maintained throughout the entire process, from manufacturing to shipping, all within Japan.
- Dedicated to herbicide application: Designed specifically for herbicide spraying with low-pressure operation at 0.05 MPa and dedicated nozzles for more targeted and even application.
- Pressure switching lever on top of the tank: The lever on the top of the tank allows switching between low pressure (0.05 MPa) and high pressure (0.2 MPa), helping reduce spray drift and unnecessary application.
- Smooth handle operation: The rack gear system provides light and smooth handle operation while delivering sufficient output.
- Uniform spraying: The constant-pressure system helps maintain even spraying performance.
- Comfortable backpack design: Equipped with an adjustable shoulder strap and a waist cushion that helps reduce shaking of the main unit, allowing a secure fit, easier movement, and less fatigue.
- Three standard nozzles included: Comes standard with three types of nozzles for different purposes: an adjustable nozzle for band spraying between ridges and overall spraying, a foam nozzle for Roundup, and a mist nozzle for overall spraying.
- Adjustable telescopic nozzle: The telescopic nozzle can be adjusted from 48 to 85 cm.
- Durable chemical-resistant construction: Made of special reinforced chemical-resistant plastic for excellent durability and rust-free performance.
- Reduced spray drift: Helps reduce spray drift by allowing the spraying width to be adjusted according to surrounding crops, greenhouse areas, and other field conditions.

Q&A
What makes it different from other sprayers? Can it be used for anything other than herbicides?
The FT-185 is a herbicide-dedicated sprayer designed specifically for herbicide application. To help prevent chemical drift onto crops, it is designed with a lower pressure setting (0.05 MPa) than general-purpose sprayers. It is not suitable for applying insecticides or fungicides.
How large is the tank capacity?
FT-185 has a tank capacity of 18 liters.
What types of nozzles are included?
Three nozzle types are included as standard depending on the application. Adjustable nozzle: for band spraying between ridges and overall spraying. Foam nozzle: for applying small amounts of liquid such as Roundup in foam form. Mist nozzle: for overall spraying and dense weeds.
Can the pressure be switched?
Yes. A lever on the top of the tank allows switching between two pressure levels according to the situation: low pressure (0.05 MPa) and high pressure (0.2 MPa).
