feeb and/or others with scales under their induction tank,

Are you using the scales on your cone tank to measure even the small quantity herbicides in 2.5 gal jugs instead of using some sort of measuring cup. For example, if you were applying 3 floz/acre and you were making an 80 acre batch, you would need 240 floz (1.875 gallon) of herbicide. If the herbicide weighted 10 lbs/gallon, would simply pour the herbicide in until the scale read 18.75 lbs? You would need a very accurate, trust worthy scale for measuring out that small of quantities, but that would be so much easier and faster than pouring into a measuring cup and then rinsing it out. Would be similar to the Pyraxidyn Mixmate inductor, just with out the bells and whistles.

So what kind are your scales and how accurate are they (what increments do they weigh in . . . 0.1 lbs)?  Do you have multiple cones on one scale platform or do you have separate scales under each cone tank?  I would like to see pictures as well.
