833 hours non stop , in a straight line no stopping. if fag packet calculation rightCould that even be possible? Even in say, Central or Eastern Europe?
Assume big relatively flat fields, no pylons and say 20km/h forward speed?

Interesting to see a mechanical drive high clearance sprayer. Not common over here.Just a random pic of one of my contractors machines, for no other reason than he left it at my place last night ( he had 700 ha to do for me, so a bit more than a days work ) & it was there when I went out early this morning

It looked like an interesting machine, so I gave it a quick google. I’ll have another look after my days spraying.out of interest, how did you know it was mechanical drive ?
I looked at the picture again & couldn’t tell
Looks like a small tank too
They use really low water rates. Was 40l/ha when I was spraying there.Looks like a small tank too

What water rate are you using @Farmer Roy ?
What are you spraying?
Why does he have narrow tyres? Thought we should all be spraying on 710s
Gramoxone... There is another chemical that cant be used in UK

Nice to see the bowser up and running James! Well done to you and your staff.This is really aimed at our spraying God above. Apologies to everyone else if this appears rather arrogant, but I'm going to defend myself on this one.
Done this.

Spent ages orientating tramlines to minimise wasted time and to get efficiently around poles. Wrote a spreadsheet to calculate AB lines coordinates to thread through poles.

And spent literally months perfecting our bowser to absolutely minimise downtime.

And I think we have one of the better spray stores to making chem mixing as pain free and as quick as possible.

But maybe it is just my maths ability that's really slowing me down. But then again I didn't think you you had a physics degree from Oxford too so just maybe you can shove your abacus up your induction hopper.
Am I annoyed? Yes.
Do they have crop dusting aircraft in Aus or is that just the States? Bet they spray at more than 8 or even 40k ?
