@@georgedavidson7986 Depends what you're doing some jobs use metric most use standard (not imperial which is slightly different... US gallons vs Imperial gallons for instance). NASA learned about this the hard way a couple decades ago... Engineers were using standard and mission scientists/planners/programmers were using metric, and programmed the computers to read the descent rate and altitude on a Mars probe and fire the retrorockets and shut down for a soft landing a foot or two above the surface of Mars... They launched the thing it flew to Mars did the entry, descent, but when it came to the landing part it decelerated to a hover about 200 feet off the ground IIRC and then *thought* it was 2 feet off the surface and shut down its rocket engines, and fell the rest of the way... CRASH not a good day. When they were analyzing the data they figured it out; probe was built using standard measure and programmed using metric, and nobody converted one to the other before they programmed it. SO basically a conversion error crashed it in the last 200 feet after a 40 million mile journey LOL:) Course that was back in former NASA Administrator Dan Goldin's "Faster, Better, Cheaper" days when his solution to cost overruns was cutting out "unnecessary" testing and double-checks and redundancy... Which in turn caused things like Hubble's mirror test scheduled for after the mirror was ground to shape was cancelled to save about $100,000, but ended up the mirror was a few millionths of an inch out of shape which could have easily been found in ground testing and subsequently ground (polished) slightly to correct the defect, but instead was skipped and launched and then required a BILLION DOLLAR shuttle mission to "rescue" the Hubble space telescope... Oh and they were cutting corners because of SHUTTLE PROGRAM cost overruns in the first place LOL:) Then there was the "Stardust" probe that launched a little probe to fly out to a comet and fly through its tail after deploying a tennis-racket size aerogel "particle trap" designed to capture material it flew through in the comet's tail and bring it back to Earth. The probe returned all right and was supposed to parachute down into the Nevada desert and be picked up by helicopter... as it turned out, the probe reentered right on schedule in the perfect spot-- so perfect they were filming it as it fell back to Earth-- ALL the way back to Earth--it plummeted in like a football tossed out of an airplane and crashed into the desert and partially shattered on impact. They managed to salvage most of the experiment but it turns out it was another victim of "Faster, Better, Cheaper"... a g-switch designed to fire the parachute deploy charge failed because it was installed UPSIDE DOWN and thus never sensed the deceleration that would have started the timer or whatever to deploy the parachute... It wasn't caught due to insufficient ground testing and inspection since those sensors are marked "this side up" and were installed as it was drawn in the design phase when nobody really knew "which side would be up" or whatever... and because the design wasn't properly reviewed and vetted and inspected after construction which WOULD have turned it up in one of the many tests they would NORMALLY do! "Faster, Better, Cheaper" became "pick one" because you cannot have all three LOL:) OL J R :)
Rob when you are spraying just convert your field to hectares and then you can work off the chart on the chemical jug. That is the easiest way. Been there done that good luck
He said in the video $1,400 for two 42 pound bags, so $700 per bag. About double the price of corn or cotton seed. He also said 50 lbs would plant 10 acres at 5 lbs/acre, but they were recommending 4.2 lbs/acre which is why they cut the bags from 50 lbs to 42 lbs and kept the price the same... so theoretically if you're running a *NEW* air seeder with rate controller you can dial it in to put ~exactly~ (more or less) 4.2 lbs/acre and plant the same number of acres, so they want to charge you the same money. BUT if you're running older equipment without electronic computerized rate controls, you can't get it that precise and if you underplant it will cost you yield potential, so self-defeating, so they plant 5 lbs/acre and so he needed the extra 2 bags to make up for the 8 pounds they cut out of the bag (50-42=8). So two 50 lb bags used to plant 20 acres at 5 lbs/acre and if it cost $1,400 for two bags, that's (1400/20=70) $70 per acre in seed cost. When I planted cotton a 50 lb bag would cover about 3.5 acres, and seed corn is sold in 80,000 kernel bags (regardless of weight which varies with the seed size) and since corn is planted in usually around 34,000-36,000 seed/acre in the Midwest (at least in my BIL's area of northern Indiana) that works out to about 2.22 acres per bag, and at about $350/bag works out to about $157/acre in seed costs. Cotton we planted at about 15 lbs per acre so a 50 lb bag covered about 3.5 acres and with GMO cottonseed running about $350/bag that works out to $100/acre seed cost. Grain sorghum we planted at 80,000 seed/acre or about 8 lbs per acre, so a 50 lb bag covered about 6.5 acres, and the last sorghum seed I bought was about $80-100 bucks a bag IIRC (been early 2000's) and so that was about $15/acre seed cost. Later! OL J R :)

Good to see you let Wade show you how to back up to an implement the first try!! Cheers Wade!🥃🥃🍻 Always nice to trade a little work, they have a fence beoche' and you got some planting done 👍
Yeah he mentioned "the book" or online you can find the nozzle charts... I got a bunch of them Spraying System catalogs on the shelf because they had all the charts for every nozzle you could buy (back then, back when air induction nozzles were the new technology anyway LOL:) Anyways, the thing is, the figures in the book are really just a rough starting point. Those figures are determined IN THE LAB spraying clean water at the exact pressure AT THE NOZZLE using a BRAND NEW NOZZLE! Nozzle do wear particularly with some chemicals wear them down faster than others so the patterns tend to get thicker in the middle and the nozzle output increases over time as the nozzles wear, so if you have old nozzles they can be putting out quite a bit more. Plus most sprayer systems have the pressure gauge somewhere near the manifold or boom controller(s) and quite a ways upstream from the nozzles themselves, so there can be a pretty good pressure drop particularly down toward the end of the booms or far end boom sections... The electronically controlled sprayers using pressure compensation and varying output with speed to keep the rates the same are pretty good if you get them dialed in right and they're working right. We always just had the old manual sprayer where you used your calibration jug after measuring off a spray path length to get your speed and then measured using a jug and plugged the numbers into the old spray equation and calibrated the rig by dinking with the pressure regulator. Worked good enough if you kept your speed where it was supposed to be and your pump and pressure regulator could hold a pretty steady pressure. Good enough anyway LOL:) Of course the best way is seeing how many acres you cover divided by the gallons in the tank then mix accordingly, but from my experience I could get "pretty close" but every tank was slightly different. Not much of a problem if you're a few acres over or under when putting down chemicals that you put 2 quarts to the acre or something, but when they came out with these ultra-concentrated stuff that you put a QUARTER OUNCE to the acre and a little cornstarch dissolvable baggie covers 10 acres, well, a little error there and you divide it out and find you're off on the rate by quite a bit!!! Oh well what can you do... Not everybody can afford a brand new Hagie or whatever... Later! OL J R :)
Last year was it because I spent 6 days getting it to work befor you bought it lol
Great video Rockin Robbie
The boys are back in business huh Robby 😂👍👌🏻
Hey Rob I enjoy all three of you guys videos keep them coming
Hello Wade good to see ya
Hello Rob 👋
I'm here now
What a bunch of guys, eh... surprised with the three of ya there weren't any shacks burned down and fires put out with a frying pan... LOL:) OL J R :)
I use colored zip ties to mark the hoses easier than tape don't have to worry about it sticking they stay put LOL:) OL J R :)
The crucial three.
Nice to see you guys getting ready to plant! Lol that's quite the fencing team !👍😂🤣
So I looked up with a hectare was and it's a metric unit of square measure, equal to 100 ares (2.471 acres or 10,000 square meters
You got it. Metric came in way back. I think the US is the only .one left using imperial
