[QUOTE="novatech, post: 842778, member: 5494"] Sorry I have never been able to make the tractor go the proper ground speed matching the the number of heads and the pressure needed. Every formula I have ever used measures ground speed and amount sprayed per head and width of sprayer. The oz. per acre are based on what the sprayer puts out at the ground speed being used at the time. The gallons suggested by manufacturers are suggested. You still calibrate by measuring reality. The numbers i used were to show the math not intended to be taken as actual. [url=http://msuextension.org/publications/AgandNaturalResources/MT200915AG.pdf]http://msuextension.org/publications/Ag ... 0915AG.pdf[/url] Please advise me as to how to calibrate a hand sprayer to put out 20 gallons an acre. You going to run or walk. It is a heck of a lot easier to find out how much you are putting out than try and adjust your walking speed to equal the precise gallons recomended. Maybe that is what you will put out but how do you know until you do it? [/QUOTE]
