[QUOTE="Brisel, post: 7452046, member: 166"] 650 tyres means 1.3/36 = 3.61% of the field. 480 tyres means 0.96/24 = 4%. Put row crops on later in the spring and you gain even more field back. There's another consideration in output where you might be saving several tramlines in each field by wider booms but the loss of some land where you've got a telegraph pole you can't get behind anymore. You could also lose some forward speed with wider booms. The Chafer trailed I had at my old place wasn't really up to going faster than 12 kph but many spray 24m faster than that. Cost to change, spray efficacy at different speeds, altering water volumes to gain or lose area treated per tank, tank size, daily output, additional weight, who you go to for relief cover if your breaks down etc. All food for thought when considering the change.
