[QUOTE="Exfarmer, post: 7670936, member: 1951"] The rate will not change significantly , if you keep with in 10% of your target speed with in a set gear. This is of course providing you do not have a tractor with either hydrostatic transmission or PTO. Select a gear which your tractor is comfortable to give the target speed, say 10k set the desired pressure at the chosen rpm used to attain the target speed then off you go.. If you are concerned about the performance do trial run with clean water. As the RPM drops a fraction so too will the pressure which will offset the speed drop and resultant increase in dosing.. The reverse is true if you go overspeed as say in going up and down hill. If at any point you need to change the gear then you must reset the pressure. It is vital that you choose a gear which you can stay in at all times, during work. Do choose a speed and pressure where your nozzles give a good fan and carry the sprayer at a hieght to ensure the double overlap. Hydrostatic transmissions are not really suitable for this type of sprayer as in many garden style tractors [/QUOTE]
