Get a self propelled sprayer you will like it a lot more.
I'm not so sure. I did exactly that and went from a pull type sprayer to a Deere 4720. I have problems staying off the row with the 4720. I thought it would be easier than the pull type, but it seems to dogtrack at times.
I'm actually spraying slower than I did with the pull type. I must constantly check the rear view mirror to see how much to lead my steering.
I do get more done since I went from 60' to 90' and I have less sets of wheel tracks so I should be doing less damage in that respect. I can't for the life of me so how the custom operators can go so fast - maybe they're not staying off the row.
I notice on some neighboring fields run by a BTO, that they have some soybeans at 30" and some at 20". They spray the 30" beans with the rows but spray the 20" beans crossways.
