    On One Hand: Not Directly

    ATV mounted sprayers do not pose a direct hazard to the operator if they are properly mounted and handled. They must be secured, and the spray nozzles must be facing the correct direction.

    On the Other: Possible Hazards

    ATV mounted sprayers can pose hazards if handled improperly. Before mounting anything to your ATV, contact the manufacturer to make sure the extra weight won't increase your possibilities of rollover. Also, get a sprayer that is automatic so you don't have to have a second body on the ATV. Make sure the sprayer is pointing in the right direction so chemicals do not end up on the driver.

    Bottom Line

    Like anything mechanical, there are possible hazards associated with ATV mounted sprayers. These can be avoided by ensuring proper installation and taking proper precautions.
