[QUOTE="Brute 23, post: 1678973, member: 6291"] The biggest problem with spraying is having the right conditions to spray and timing. When you get those conditions you dont want to be refilling... you want to be spraying. The 1000g sprayers I was referring to put out 20g of water per acre, so 50ac per tank, about 3-3.5 hrs per tank to put it out. You are looking at a solid day, if the conditions are right all day, to spray 2 loads, including refill time. Most smaller rigs are in the 10-15g per ac range. So you can do the math on how many refills and how much time it will take to spray with a smaller tank. Basically, buy or build the biggest sprayer you can afford. On 80 ac of wide open you will probably want booms because the inefficiency of a bottomless nozzle on that would eat you up. [/QUOTE]
