What happens here
The presenter enters the TYM T574 tractor and starts it. He engages the PTO (Power Take-Off) to power the sprayer pump. From inside the cab, he reaches back to the sprayer controls to adjust the pressure. He sets the pressure to approximately 40 PSI using the PSI adjuster knob, then opens the three spray tabs (valves) to initiate spraying. He recommends a speed of 4 MPH to achieve the desired application rate of 30 gallons per acre, covering 3 acres with one 90-gallon tank. He reiterates the best time to spray is in the evening, allowing the solution to soak in with overnight dew. He then proceeds to drive the tractor across the pasture, applying the Super Soil solution.
Goal: Apply Super Soil to the pasture at the correct rate and conditions.
