Subject: Product Savings? Please explain.


I have outback S2 and autosteer for my sprayer. Now I know everyone likes to say they pay for it by using the right amount of product but I take issue with this and if I am wrong please explain to me why. When I sprayed before without autosteer, if the rate of product was 1 pint per acre and I was spraying a 100 acre field and my sprayer put down 10 gallons per acre I put 100 pints of product and 1000 gallons of water in my sprayer and by having my sprayer calibrated I was very very close in the amount used. With autosteer if the product rate is 1 pint to the acre I'm still gonna use 100 pints to spray that 100 acre field. Right? I WILL use less water because my overlap won't be as much but I am not going to save a dime on product used. My application will be more even throughout the field but not enough so that it will save me a rescue treatment of another product. So again where do I save on amount of product used? Hope someone can either straighten me out or admit that is not going to pay for my autosteer.
