The average sprayer only sprays during 25% of the engine hours. These numbers come from modern self-propelled sprayers that record this type of information. The average sprayer is also idling during 28% of the engine hours and the balance is road and turning time. If the idle time were cut in half and added to spraying time, the sprayer would be 56% more efficient. A sprayer that was averaging 50 acres/engine hour would then be covering 78 acres/engine hour. If the cost per engine hour for the sprayer is $150 then the operating cost would be $3.00/acre versus $1.92/acre for the more efficient sprayer.
The Mixmate Fusion Inductor with a three-input Flow Stack is our most popular system. The video shows a close view of the Fusion and its features. The Mixmate Pro Inductor is also shown with the additional features of the Pro. A Mixmate Double Stack and Flow Single are also shown for use with the bulk chemicals.
