As someone else posted, this will cover 10,000 sqm. I agree that it's too much for most people.
What's the usual price, Broden?
I have Sir Walter Buffalo and had a lot of success with Bin Die. About $14 for 250ml. Important to follow the directions exactly especially the amount of concentrate per area. Dont be tempted to increase strength as it is not good for the lawn. Repeat and most difficult weeds including clover will be gone. Proforce may target more types of weed but Bin Die is worth a try first. Advice from Bunnings gardening staff was spot on.
Bin Die will cover 400m2 per bottle. This will cover 10000m2 a bottle.
You would need 25 bottles of bin die for the same coverage and it would cost $374
I currently use bin die and am pretty happy with the results, but it takes ages to mix and apply to about 900m2 of grass. I'm tempted to give this a go with a pump sprayer to speed things up.
You may also consider Bow and Arrow which is cheaper than this (per m2 coverage):

This claims to kill winter grass whereas Bin Die doesn't.
This price with free shipping everyday of the week at https://specialistsales.com.au/shop/turf-domestic/turf-care/…
By the way this supposedly kills Onion weed in lawns as well, can anyone confirm.
For that price I can get a team of backpackers to pull it out out by hand.
like it's much older brother Metsulfuron methyl it's fairly toxic to aquatic life
Hazardous to the aquatic environment (acute) – category 1
Hazardous to the aquatic environment (chronic) – category 1
Hazard Statement H410 (Very toxic to aquatic life with long-lasting effects)https://hcis.safeworkaustralia.gov.au/HazardousChemical/Deta…
But in the UK they say
Iodosulfuron-methyl-sodium is a sulfonylurea herbicide. It is highly soluble in aqueous solution and semi-volatile. It is not persistent in soil but may be in aquatic systems. It is highly toxic to mammals, a neurotoxin and a skin, eye and respiratory tract irritant. It is moderately toxic to birds, most aquatic organisms, honeybees and earthworms

A gardener gave me this (brand Metsun 600) to spray on clover and it works great. Kills slowly (takes a couple of weeks) so doesn't damage Buffalo. Maybe there is a better option to use that isn't bad to the aquatic environment??
that'd be the older brother Metsulfuron methyl. So long as you don't spray it within close run off to a creek/dam/etc (as in 10-20m), but if you have too, add a good Surfactant (Adjuvant) and hand spray, do a bit, leave it a week, do a bit more, etc that way you can use less amd spread out the poisoning time.
it's fairly good. the dosage is very small 5-10g/100lt, so you can make it last.
I use it on Singapore Daisy & Lantana..takes 4-6wks for results, but it's effective. it doesn't kill most grass.
apparently Iron Sulphate mix is quite effective on bindii

Gentleme, FYI, Amgrow Bin-die has been withdrawn from Bunnings and a lot of other stores.
What’s the shelf life of this? Is it impractical to mix for smaller volumes?
Just get bow and arrow if you don't need such a large volume.
Very expensive
