Subject: Calculating Gallons Per Acre On A Sprayer When Spraying Question


Hey Guys,





I live in Northwest Oklahoma where our biggest crop is Hard Red Winter Wheat. We have a Bestway 1200 sprayer that covers 90 feet on 20 inch spacing. It has a Raven 450 Controller to control it. We hooked everything up the other day and it was not showing me anything for gallons per acre when we were running the sprayer. I can't remember if I have to be moving for it to start showing me gallons per acre when spraying. We were just sitting still when we were running it and it does get its ground speed from a GPS Signal an I know the GPS unit is working. I am going to have to try some things to see if I can get it working. The question I have is that I was wondering if there is a formula I can use to calculate to estimate how much water I am spraying per acre by using ground speed on the Tractor and the PSI guage on the Sprayer. For Example if I want to Spray 15 Gallon of water per Acre How fast would I need to be driving and how much pressure should the PSI Guage on the Sprayer should it be showing?








Thank you,
