Reduce the RPM, job takes longer, engine hours do the same number of acres.
Not much to be gained in my opinion.

In my case, I run 19 - 19.5MPH because that is where my pressures are in the "sweet spot". When I was running 600 tires, that required WOT to acheive. Now, with the 710 tires, WOT is 21 MPH which puts my pressures higher than I want so I throttle back to my 19 - 19.5 MPH. Yes, I COULD spray at 21MPH with different nozzles and get done faster but, for me, 19 - 19.5 is fast enough. I do 160 acre field in 40 minutes. That is good enough for me.
