In this episode of the Farm4Profit Podcast, we sit down with Josh Ladd, Go-To-Market Manager for Application at @JohnDeere and Kevin Marshall, @hagiemfg Marketing Lead for John Deere, to break down everything that goes into owning a self-propelled sprayer. We walk through real world price ranges from older units to premium high tech machines and unpack the full cost of ownership including fuel, maintenance, insurance, and storage. Then we dig into the decision every grower faces, owning versus custom hiring, and how acreage, timing, and application frequency drive that choice. The conversation goes deep on precision technology, from guidance and section control to advanced targeting systems, and how these tools impact input efficiency, labor needs, and overall profitability. We also explore what makes Hagie stand out, including clearance, crop safety, operator comfort, and in field performance. If you have ever questioned whether a self-propelled sprayer pencils out on your farm, this episode gives you the numbers, strategy, and insight to make a confident decision.
