How do you keep your spray tank agitated?

I just ordered one 16 gal Northern Tool ATV spot sprayer plus 100' of hose, so I can just walk around my garden without holding up a tank of liquid on my back or with my arms. This is going to be fucking great. Still need to get a battery.

Anyway, I saw NT sells agitation kits that recirculate the liquid into the tank but between reviews saying it takes away a lot of pressure from the hose and me using 100' extra, plus they say it doesn't work very well anyway, I didn't get it. How else can you agitate besides a generator + another pump?

Maybe cordless drill with paint stirrer, with the trigger held down?

I pull and push the wagon that my sprayer is on. I've thought it would be nice to have agitation.

I was going to put a waterproof vibrator in the bubble bags, just chuck a rabbit in yer tank.

Chunky, thanks for the ideas. Its a 15 gal tank so might need more than that. But I just remembered I have a pool pump. I wonder if I could rig it to work on a 12v battery.

Mizer haha. I already use too much of the house shit in the garden. I would not be forgiven if I used her vibrator to keep my BT mixed hahhahaha

Can you add another 12 volt pump like the one already used for spraying on the tank and use it for recirculating the mix? It could use the same battery.
Not sure how to wire them but old campers/fifthwheels have 12 volt pumps for their water supply (another option), plenty of old trailers around you should be able to find these pumps for free.
Rabbits work well also but you have to put a new one in every 5 minutes!

Just picked up a 12v submersible bilge pump for $20 from harbor freight. There are cheap little 12v submersible pumps online. Also Home depot sells small aquarium pumps that plug in.
