I have done miles of fence row spraying with a pto 3 point sprayer, as well as a backpack. I currently have a packpack, 3 point pto, and a new 26 gallon electric. The model I bought was from Northern Tool + Equipment, part number 268121. It cost $199 and seems fine, had it 2 years now Sureflo pump is quality, even came with straps. I did buy the agitation kit for mixing and the use of suspentions. The same unit is available in 16 gallon model. It comes with a wand that has a single-broadcast head and an adjustable regular tip. The "boom" nozzle works well (up to 14 feet wide) but I don't think it has nearly the amount of accuracy for the edge of a driveway. You could use it just for the broadleafs. The edges would be best shot with the wand. I just ride along fences and hold the wand in one hand. You will waste less round up too. I hooked up a normally off, momentarily on switch in the wire for boom use. For the wand, it shuts off with the gun trigger, and the pump has automatic shutoff at 60 psi. I mount it on a pallet and put it on my forks, but a carryall would be great. The only downside I can see is the inability to utilize all the spray in the tank. I just take the last gallon or 2 and put it in my backpack for later use.
