I think you best look around for an old boom sprayer. If you want something cheap find and oldie with tee-jet nozzles and a roller pump. Don't expect too much life of the roller pump but if it's decent now it'll do what you want. Ideally, if you happen to be in the right place at the right time you will get something like a 100 or 150 gallon Hardi sprayer with a Hardi pump. A Hardi pump, properly cared for, will last a LONG time. The downside of Hardi is that the nozzles are Hardi specific, not cheap (like Tee-Jet) and virtually nothing on a Hardi sprayer is quick or easy to obtain unless you've got a good servicing dealer handy. It's not too bad here so most of us go with Hardi... and I think they are probably one of the best sprayers out there.
As far as volume of spray... you're within the ballpark for product rate. You are on the higher end, depending on what you want to kill. Water volume would be more like 20-25 gpa; probably a bit better than half what you're figuering. I'd also suggest that you make sure that the grass is actively growing when you spray or you're not going to get the kill you want. Keep in mind also that probably a 100 gal sprayer is enough for the 135... but a 150, if it's available AND it has Cat 1 lift pins will work. You don't necessarly need to fill it.
