[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1454279, member: 18945"] The surfactant and herbicide label directions I use both say to add the surfactant during the last stage of the mixing procedure. I never questioned why. My tank is 1/3 smaller than your big one, just 330 gallons. PTO driven pump, with a mixing/circulating line on the control valve. I add 100 gal water to an empty tank, turn on the PTO and switch the valve to recirculate (and leave it circulating until I'm in the area where I want to spray.) Add my herbicides, continue to add water until about 80% of the total volume I want to mix, then add my surfactant and anti foam if I use it. Continue to recirculate until I think the total volume has been moved thru the system at least 2x and continue to recirculate until I'm out in the spraying area. I don't know if that's the correct way, but it's how I've always done it. My ground is so rough, I'm pretty sure the sloshing back and forth does a lot toward keeping the mixture all mixed up too.
