Subject: Depends - lots of variables


Watford City, ND

How big are your fields?  What rate are you spraying at?  What are you spraying for?

Most of my work is done at 4.5 gpa (gallons per acre) and 8 gpa.  I have a truck setup with 3200 gallons of water.  That means I can do about 700 acres a truckload @ 4.5 and 390 acres @ 8 gpa.

Now, most days 700 acres is about what I can get done in a day - smaller fields here, lots of moving around.  However, I do have a guy sitting at the shop that cna jump in a water truck and bring me a another truckload.  This is much more important during fungicide and in-crop spraying (8 gpa) than other times.

Here a link to some other setups - this will give you an idea of what to look for in getting setup.

Are you in Russia?  Whereabouts?  Good luck, and shoot with any questions.
