Subject: RE: Thinking of adding sprayer capacity with a pull type


Mercer County, Ohio on the Indiana line

I run a 90' pull type with a 1000 gallon tank and I can't spray over 8 MPH. The most I've ever sprayed with it was 330 acres in 12 hours. That was with a tender for water but had to wait to mix it.

I'd look into a Hagie DTS or one of the older styles that are much cheaper. I don't know if you run much corn but you'd be able to apply fungicide over tasseling corn with it. There are many around for the $40,000 price range.  I think acres/hour would be higher with a SP because of ground speed and ease of doing headlands.  With a PT getting into corners can be a pain.

Here is a nicer 284 for $45,000 that would be fairly close to you.
