I've had 2 Melroe coupes; a 120 way back when and a 220 later; both tricycle. Mine had the Volkswagen opposed (4) cyclinder gasoline engine. The BIG farmers around here have gone to larger 4-wheel drive types, but for smaller acreages (I typically had about 1000 A. rowcrop), they work great. To contradict Gary, you can turn the volumn up to spray as many GPA as you need, but they do have only a 200 gallon tank. I usually sprayed 13-15 GPA. You'll have to have a nurse tank, unless all your fields are right at the shop/water source. The 120 used truck tires and traction was a problem; the 220 had small tractor-type and I could spray pretty much where I wanted. The early electric-fold booms could be a PIA, but the later ones worked great. With a nurse tank at the edge of the field, 30 or 35 acres per hour is reasonable........assuming 51 ft. boom.
