Your Spray Miser equipped GT-500, when covering approximately 150
acres per hour and operating at $39.29 per hour results in an average
cost of 26¢ per acre.
The Thrush Aircraft, when covering approximately 300 acres per hour
and operating at $379.88 per hour results in an average cost of $1.27 per acre.
The operating cost for your Spray Miser equipped GT-500 aircraft has
a savings of 90% of the per hour cost of the Thrush, or an 80% savings
over per acre cost of the Thrush Aircraft.
