“I saved $40/acre my first year, which paid for more than half of my WEED-IT system. I figured if I could save $35-$40,000 or 75%, it pays for the crop application or a little more fertilizer. Even on my worst field I saved 60%. It’s a struggle because we don’t have a fixed price for goods or a fixed crop outcome. The savings helps compensate for that and pays for the rising cost of everything. The extra pass I might have to make doesn’t make a difference because you’re only spending maybe $1/acre with fuel, wear & tear, and labor. 1000 gallons lasts more than a day, sometimes several days.
I think at this point that everyone with chem fallow should have a WEED-IT. I’m thinking about using it to desiccate crops before harvest if it they don’t dry evenly.”

“It’s a dollar and cents thing. Everyone is looking to use less herbicide. That single Weldcraft sprayer with WEED-IT on it covers most everything I need it to do. It runs 6 days a week, 10 hours a day in the summer. We used to fill up 9 times a day and now we only use 3-3.5 tanks in a day. In our first year we used 30% of the herbicide we used to use. It’s cut down on labor. Without the WEED-IT I would be more strapped. It’s been super easy to use.”
“I think people need to be looking into this technology because of the cost of farming practices now. I think there is a shift coming and WEED-IT is part of that. Get it.”
Brad Murison
“Last year we did a post-harvest spray with the WEED-IT on 500 acres. This year we saw a reduction of weeds on those acres so this year we added post-harvest spraying to the whole farm. Before owning WEED-IT the economics didn’t pencil for us to do a post-harvest spray, but with the money I’m saving it’s a win-win. The more I run the WEED-IT the more I think it’s a no-brainer. You’re saving a lot of money. I save an average of 80% on my chemical costs”

“I had followed WEED-IT for a while, but when I had Jeff come spray my fields with his WEED-IT and saw him use less than 1/2 gal per acre, that sold me. It’s like spraying a football field and you only have a few weeds out there, you end up only spraying 3 sq ft of the whole field. There are times we go over 5 football fields and the sprayer never fires. I have found that I average a 95% savings per season. Before WEED-IT I was using 2-3gal/acre, now I’m only using 1/2 gal/acre. This allows me to spray 2000 acres with 1200 gallons. Instead of buying semi loads of chemicals, I’m now buying a couple of shuttles a year.”

“WEED-IT has surpassed my expectations. I bought it because it was killing me spraying everything when all I needed to spray was my center row. I thought, there has to be a way to target just the center rows. Also, I needed to find a way to reduce my chemical expenses. There are years that I didn’t get much of a crop but I still had to spray the entire field. With the WEED-IT I can afford to farm even on bad years. I can fill my 550 gallon tank and spray all day. My best pass was 210 acres with 550 gallons with a season average of $3/acre vs $10/acre before buying WEED-IT. There’s a red weed out here that I struggle to kill. I wasn’t sure that WEED-IT would see it but it does! I’m also using WEED-IT for defoliation before harvest. I expect to increase my savings next year once I add hoods to my toolbar.”
