I figure I could replace my pull type every year. Chem is the big savings and if you buy from a decent guy, he'll give you guidance and service.
As much as I hate spraying, it's the most profitable thing I do row crop wise. I'm trying to get my head around spreading our own dry, because that's gotta be close ROI wise.
Last fall IIRC wholesale delivered potash was at least $80/ton savings over retail. You can operate a tractor and spreader for less than custom app charges. I think I can do a better job than a hourly employee for a retailer who doesnt care about my farm. I have complete control of when it gets done. Yep, roi is decent.

How much do you save by spraying yourself?
