Kossetx,
Go checkout the Teejet website and look at all of their spray tips (which will work on this Fimco sprayer from TSC). You will see that they have a range of spray tips with varying spray rates that also vary based on PSI. Your tractor speed will also effect the application rate.
Most pesticides have a recommended amount of solution and a recommended amount of pesticide to be applied. For example, you may set up your sprayer (by choosing a specific spray tip, adjusting the PSI and choosing a particular ground speed) to spray 30 gallons per acer of solution and that solution would contain 2 oz of Glyphosate. So you are applying 2 oz of Glyphosate per acre caried by 30 gallons per acre of solution.
All of this will vary, of course, based on the label.
So to answer the question you asked, you set up the sprayer to spray the amount per acre that you want it to spray based on what the label says to do.

My neighbor busted one of mine just like that by having the arm connected to the top link....when he raised the tank a bit too much, it sheared off.
You will get real tired of refilling if spraying a 40 AC field with a 55 gal sprayer. Get a 150 or 200 if you can handle it and you sure won't regret it. Also, I ran a 1 1/4'' hose off one of my wells just for filling the sprayers. It sure beats a garden hose.

It took nine full tanks to do about 27 acres with my 60 gallon.
