Yes mine does. However in my example I was using his numbers for custom hire costs not mine. He said his sprayer was homemade so I doubt it's going to depreciate much (could be wrong). I also gave a couple examples where the savings were "$??" - I kind of figure those (??) savings eat up a considerable amount of variable costs.
The man asked an honest question. I gave him an honest answer. If you want to know how much it costs to do your own spraying you should post that.
I appreciate your posts on the subject. I was just highlighting that everyone looks at the application costs but doesn't look at variable costs on sprayer, tractor, GPS equipment, tender, extra labor for tender, fuel in the tractor, fuel in the tender truck, tires on the tractor/sprayer/tender truck/tender trailer that wear out eventually, fuel and repairs on inductor/pump engine etc.
Thanks again for the post and I like your screen name! |
How much do you save by spraying yourself?
