What tack an you use during the day? - ANSWER Any kind of tack 4. When determining the specification rate for 52-28 tack you do what? - ANSWER Multiply the rate by 0.6 5. What is the tack application rate tolerance? - ANSWER +/- 0.01 gal/syd 6. Step 1 for figuring the tack spread rate - ANSWER Find the length of the tack shot Station - station = ft 7. Step 2 for figuring the tack spread rate - ANSWER Find the square yards feet x width / 9 = syds 8. Step 3 for figuring the tack spread rate - ANSWER Use the distributor chart to find the gallons used start 11/13 - 1319 gal end 18/14 - 1140 gal = gallons used 9.
