| mafrif - 6/16/2016 21:35 Everytime I figure it up, I'm saving $500-1,000 an hour spraying. Biggest problem I see is all the custom sprayers have the largest sprayers made. Works great when it's dry, but that rarely happens in spring. Seen lots of fields worked up just to fill sprayer ruts that were not planned to.
We have the largest sprayer made, in the Patriot brand anyhow. Our 1200 gallon sprayer doesn't weigh much more than an 800 gallon rig, if we only put 800 gallons in the tank. Kinda like how there's no federal law saying you have to load your center-fill planter completely full when it's muddy. It's sure nice to have that capacity right now when it's really dry and we're spraying Liberty with 20 gpa of carrier, though! This, of course, is one of the intangible things that go back to spraying yourself- you can make a judgement call on where the balance point is in regard to field conditions. |
How much do you save by spraying yourself?
