I've had suggestions re types of herbicides. I'd like input on distribution devices. At this point, I'm at the walking along and spraying stage.

Some promote rechargeable fire extinguishers. ~$200. Any of you use such?

What about backpack sprayers? I like Sthil garden tools, but the reviews on Sthil backpack sprayers is 56% negative. Leaking, mostly. Is there a solidly good brand backpack sprayer?

Then, there's wheel mount/cart sprayers. Some with long cords.

Finally, something relatively lightweight (as 100% of my work is done by yours truly) that I can put in the bed of a truck, drive to a spot, use a long hose and spray a long section, get back in the truck and drive forward, repeat.

What do you use?

Northern Tool carries some good tank type sprayers you can put in/on a ATV/UTV and cruise along the fence line. You could put it in the back of a pickup if you can get 12V power to it. Make sure it's not exposed to freezing temperatures and a spare wand is a good thing. Oh, make sure you're wearing waterproof gloves while using.

OH, they do have sales plus bonus coupons.

Tractor Supply for herbicides.
 
One of the 12 volt 15 gallon ATV sprayers might be a good choice. Place in the pickup bed, wire to the cigarette lighter and maybe add a longer hose for the spray wand. You could drive along and spray from the cab. The 1.0 gpm models are usually under $100.
 
Get a four gallon backpack sprayer. Battery powered or manual pump. $100 or less depending on which brand. Mix 4 oz to the gallon of roundup and 2 4D and you have scorched earth.
 
RM43 and you will only be spraying fence lines and driveways twice a year.
