There are smaller or larger tips, depending on the speed you want to go or the rate you want to put on.

Ask the place where you buy the tips. They should have a chart. What I typed is just a small part of it. I am guessing this is the area you are wanting. Spray around 17-19" from the top of the grass.

Watch for drift on 2,4-D. It'll kill any flowers or any broadleaf type plant(not grass type). And works good on danderlions. You might ask if you want to add a sticker to it(crop oil or something like that).
I can't remember the rate right now. But for example, say if it needs a pint per acre and you are spraying at 10 Gallon per acre(GPA). that means you put in 1 pint for every 10 gallons and it is sprayed on 1 acre.

If you have any doubts ask the person you bought the tips or chemical from. If you have a question on figuring your speed and pressure and rates please post it.
