    Has anyone purchased a GPS Sprayer and calculated how much chemical they have saved versus a non-gps sprayer? I have not been able to figure out exactly how much anyone has saved.

    I will say this, I went from mixing 3 acres to ensure my greens got complete coverage and using up whats left on collars and walking paths to mixing 2 acres and just spraying my greens. 

    But the truth is you most likely will not save money because you will use the extra funds to improve your spraying programs. I made it a point to push using less chemicals  in my spray apps due to precise applications so I never get double spray even by a new applicator. I then pushed that the chemcials I used less of will allow me to shift those funds into a better spray app for other issues.

    I feel its never a good idea to let your supervisors think they will be able to cut your budget because your adding a GPS unit. Better to convice them that its better for the enviorment and will allow you to make more weed control or fungicide applications or even a better fertilizer program with those savings.
