Review | Jacto 16L HD400 Backpack Sprayer

Manufactured in Brazil, Jacto has grown from a one man "fix-it" shop to a world renowned supplier to the agricultural market covering everything from tractor-powered and self-propelled sprayers, backpack sprayers, trucking and electric vehicles, pressure washers, cleaning equipment and water treatment.

We are very proud to be to be the exclusive dealer in Australia for Jacto, with a focus on the backpack sprayer range. Over the last year we have been rolling these out across our dealers, and have had some great feedback on the units. 

Last week, Justin Enright from Enright Land Management in Branxton, NSW sent us through this great review. 

"We have been using the Jacto HD 400 16L backpack sprayer for the last 6 months. We currently have around 10 which get used on a daily bases for herbicide spraying. We have found these sprayers to perform better than all the other sprayers we have used in the past particularly when it comes to  using herbicides and diesel. All our workers prefer these backpacks are they are more comfortable and reliable than any others we have used in the past and we are happy to recommend them to others." [sic]

Thank you Justin - it's great to hear the Jacto backpack sprayers are working out so great for you! 

The Jacto backpack sprayers are not only great for commercial use, but are also great for domestic use. With a three year warranty and a 30 day "no questions asked" money back guarantee, you are sure to feel confident when choosing this product. These backpacks have also been independently tested for more than 1500 continuous hours of operation with no breakdowns, and can be easily converted to either left or right hand operation. 

As mentioned by Justin above, these units are not only great for herbicides, but also great for diesel, coming equipped with a Viton piston cup ideal for users of hydrocarbon spray carriers, such as a diesel & Access spray mix.
