    If your not too sure how it all works maybe do a practice run with water only in the first paddock to get a feel for it.
    From memory the PTO should be roughly level when spraying, but it's a while since I've had the sprayer on.

    Be aware chemical can splash when adding to sprayer.
    Be aware of what crops are down wind of any drift.

    If you are only doing a small area I would consider only spraying in one direction. ie Into any breeze and therefore keeping any spray drift away from the tractor cab.

    only crop downwind is neighbours rushes.

    cab fairly waterproof.i presume no wind would be best.

    how many litres per acre roughly and ground speed.

    thanks again lads
