Zusammenfassung:	A truck-mounted sprayer for spraying small wooded plots is described. A hydraulically operated high-lift boom with an operator's bucket is mounted on a 10-ton truck. Separate operational controls for lift and rotation of the boom are located both in the operator's bucket and at the chassis level. The spraying system consists of a 16-foot stainless-steel boom, 1 inch in diameter, basally attached to the bucket by aluminum straps. A 1-gallon pressure container with pressure regulator valve, a source of compressed air, and a control valve complete the unit.
