The sensors are used to measure the 10 change in the quantity of product in the tank during a calibration process where the apparatus is operated over an area and the number of rotations of the meter are recorded. The data is then used to determine a mass flow rate per revolution of the meter. A monitoring method is also disclosed in which an 'area to empty' and product needed' to complete a field or task is displayed to the operator. 152/3 80 8283 Fig. 2 ,, 92 -86 290 94 114 58 144116 52 24 10 72 74 102 16102 312 14 58 12 4 16a 1 761 i 4 Fig 31 1 1
