Pasture Mist Sprayers?

[Gravel Road]

Does anybody have any experience using a pasture mist sprayer/fogger? I have always used my quad to spot spray with some boom usage for thistle and lespedesa, but quickly get overwhelmed. I typically spend 3 or 4 days per year spraying and when hedge trees are added it is way too much to cover with a quad and a 25 gallon tank. These misters attached to a 3pt are supposed to cover up to 180 ft per pass and are efficient in the amount of chemical used.

They are crazy expensive for what basically amounts to a squirrel cage fan and tank, but the price is comparable to the price quote from a commercial spay company to do my pasture. I can't use this everywhere because it could wipe out my dogwood thickets and bedding areas, but seems to be a good idea in the open. They also are supposed to work great on trees, no matter the size. Orchards use them to spray for insects, etc. Thanks!

My father in law has one that he got in a trade. He's never used it but plans to this summer. Looks kind of spooky to me with a tank of herbicide and a little wind, but it may work great.

Yes, an open cab means a very careful eye on the wind direction! I'm thinking a mask is mandatory with this thing since the chemical particles will be smaller than a sprayer.
Please let me know how it works out with your father-in-law.
