I think that is fantastic way to spray - real time measurement. I use a spray tank behind my 1025R and I spray my rock driveway and weeds. I think a color other than green (good for dirt application) maybe Brown or Orange that the dye fades off as the time progresses. Allowing passing along but not coloring forever.
One of my cousins wanted me to spray his dad's grass with MSMA one year so he bought the chemical and he picked up some blue dye. I was just like you. The only place you could see it was driveway and they whole sprayer was blue. Lawn care company's use it a lot but they must use a gallon per tank to get results that they get.
What’s interesting is if the dye got all over the machine it really teaches us how much chemical gets all over the machine even though it can’t be seen without the dye. Great reminder to wash rigs after each spraying!!
When I spray I put a little extra dye than what the container recommends I usually use 2 bottles for that size of sprayer to make it a little more visible when spraying
I have an 825i gator and the earlier version of this sprayer. I wish I had rate control on mine but it still works great. At 4mph and 40 psi I put on 20 gal per acre. I use turf mark blue die from do your own and its $99 for a 2.5 gal jug. Easy to see in the yard. However I have done some spraying in the field when it is too wet for the tractor and it I hard to see there. Overall it's a great sprayer
Thanks you all for the content of the video ! I like the granular fertilizer much better ! I can watch my tractor tracks and keep overlapping in the same direction and get a pretty even spread . I appreciate the Scripture so much Christy !! Be safe and God bless you all !!!!! EDDY
As always, great video. I use a Permagreen for my applications. We like the residual effect of granular fertilizer, but that looks so quick and easy..... definitely something to consider.
My neighbor uses DEF fluid since it is supposedly 32% nitrogen and can be purchased quite cheap when on sale. I haven't convinced myself this works and can't find collaborating information online. would be great if you look into it. I've found Menards often has sales on the Forever Green brand fertilizer for the best price/acre and price/lb of nitrogen for fertilizer, but still not as cheap as DEF fluid at $4/Gallon. For herbicide I've been using 3D. It is identical to Trimec and slightly less expensive (
Your sprayer needs sectional control now! The JD dealership I work at, the AMS group(gps weenies) added the same sprayer as yours. But they the StarFire receiver on the cab, auto steer steering wheel. Sold it oilfield company for lease sites. Great video by the way.
Dye works best for bare ground or pre-emergent treatment(the grass is brown). But...if you spray on green grass, I would use blue dye...there is even red dye. I mostly just follow my tracks for boom spraying and not even use dye.
i spray Trimec commercially on lawns, works well, i found it to be cheaper at my local pest dealer, but talstar for bugs is way cheaper from do your own pest control site.
Great video as always Tim. I am in the same boat trying to figure out what to put on my 10 acre yard. I have a new pto 3pt 60 gal John Deere boom sprayer, and I too am trying to figure out how its going to work how much to use how fast to go etc. I can set the cruise on my 3039R to maintain a speed relatively consistently. I have no idea on the pressures to set it at or distance to set boom from the ground with the 3pt. If I use too much is that a real possibility of killing the grass with 2-4-D. I have about the same chemicals bought as you chose right down to a green dye to help figure where I had been. Looking forward to hearing how yours turns out. Keep up the great work !!!
Always good to see a new way of performing a task. I would agree with you and others that this is more for the golf course or the "estate". When I had more than an acre of lawn I didn't care if it was grass or weeds - as long as it wasn't brown. Both of you I would think have more to do than worry about dandelions and the grass needs cut AGAIN. Most of the "homestead" videos are into non/chemical ways of weed control. Everyone makes his own choice. (Some of us remember Agent Orange and associated chemical defoliants). I actually do appreciate seeing all the equipment. It is good the family is well. I am sure your daughter can give you insight into farming around the world. I have a brother in law working for Land O Lakes and travels through Africa teaching. Take care.
Let me know what you are using to stop the dandelions for growing in your grass tractor time with Tim let me know what you use and how does you use it let me know please let me know how you use it.
Hi Tim. I would like to see the results of your new venture here I hope you a make another video about it. I thought of rearview mirrors for the tractor too. Ok I comented before I looked great video. Our lawn has been filled with them blowy and yellow things I may have to try that stuff
I believe you can get with the Purdue extension office to get the book to study the chemical application license. I worked with a company indivule person who had his own business and it was a nice job.
I don't use dye when boomspraying, but it's very helpful if you're out spot spraying so you know which plant you've sprayed and which ylou still need to do :)
Tim can you explain the new property. I’m having a hard time here. So you sold your house in town and moved to another property. Then sold that and moved to this farm correct? Where is your new farm located? Still in Indiana?
Adam, we have only moved once. From our city house in Carmel to this property. We moved last December. We have several episodes discussing this during the winter.
love your videos have seen a lot of them!! I was a john deere man way back from the mid 90”s started with a 855 and 7 years ago got my are twisted to try a L6060 Kubota and have been a Kubota man ever since!!! But still love all your videos!
Look into dry spray grade AMS, as well as a good surfactant. The dry AMS is 17 lbs per 100 gallons of water. .Most surfactants are 1 quarter per 100 gallons of water. Both are cheap, and available at Rural King. Both will make the chemicals perform much better. Otherwise you might get limited success.
Now that school is out will Katriel be making more frequent appearances on TTWT?? You need sheep ... and fences. Then you won't have to mow and they'll eat the dandelions for you :D
Hey Tim, dunno bout Indiana but here in Texas others can use your applicators license if they are working under your instruction. You do not even have to be present. I have neighbors, family and friends use mine. They just have to notify me so I can keep all the data in my log. Perhaps you could use Tom's Randall's or your Dad's the same way. Also license is not required if you have a degree in crop sciences or horticulture so you might work off Katriel's. Just a suggestion trying to be helpful. I am fortunate to be Grandfathered in in Texas but I usually attend the continuing education to keep on top of changes even though I am not required.
Tim did you check with someone with a chemical applicator license if the potency of the solutions remains the same if you mix fertilizers and weed killers together?
Your neighbor had to come over and find out what strange person walks around the property with something in his hand and appears to be talking to himself. Safety and Security Check for neighborhood watch group.
I’ve been using a purple dye called spray tracer with Roundup for years, looks odd when I spray my gravel laneway down as it fades to pink so I hope for rain within a day or two to wash it away.
Thanks for posting and sharing. I really enjoy "Tractor Time" and the bible verses. Let's hope and pray our country never forgets about God. Crazy stuff going on in this country and it is scary.
@@TractorTimewithTim Is that sprayer actually tied into the 2630 , or is he just manually recording on 2630? Sorry for questions. Thinking of getting one. Ive got Autosteer in my 835R now
How much is lost due to spaying the driveway. Needs a pause button on the steering wheel or something IDK definitely not a home owner system mainly for acreage or micro farm. I agree with your initial introduction I’m sure it’s an investment for that whole set up.
The 20-0-2 mean 20% nitrogen 0 phosphorus 2% potash. Nitrogen is top growth , phosphorus is for root growth, potash makes stronger stems (healthier plants) which healthier grows faster too. You aren't putting iron on your yard.
Tim do review on your Gator durable you or your Gator is that a 2019 Gator you got from John Deere and what's the features and everything I do review of your Gator is that a 2019 Gator from John Deere yerba buena spray at 2 all your equipment that you have.
This is cool and all but seems totally out of reach for the majority of property owners. I mean, $20K+ for the UTV and then another $4000 for the sprayer. And if you have that much property you'll probably still need a tractor. Probably more appealing for most to stick with a tractor-based solution.
Yeah... and if you've ever had to pay for a bottle of the colorant... once you see them dumping in a whole bottle for broadcast spraying, you realize how ridiculously unpractical these videos become once people stop having to pay for the products that they are using.
I just don’t think this comment is fair. I stated specifically in the video that the system is not practical for most homeowners. I purchased all the chemicals myself. I stated that this was for demonstration...so one could see what is available. Don’t see how I could make it any more clear. No pretense of what was going on.
@@TractorTimewithTim You are correct Tim. I have a habit (maybe bad maybe not) that I will often comment or ask questions as I am watching a video. This allows me to ask questions, etc. as they arise so I don't forget them. Sometimes my question is answered further along in the video, sometimes not. I guess I should try harder to hold all my questions until the end. :-)
I hope for the sake of humanity that you don't actually think 2-4d will kill trees and shrubs. Hell it's very difficult to kill large woody plants with products such as Tordon specifically designed to do so.
Will you find that stuff for the kill dandelions in your grass do you find out the True Value hardware store or Walmart let me know when you find that stuff at that you you what I need to use to kill the dandelion for it won't be growing in my grass.
What's up Tim what's up tractor time with Tim what's going on with y'all this morning y'all spring what's the chemical using the killer that Greg kill the weeds and you know that was your using right there Tim again 10 more tractor time with Tim tell me what y'all use it and by the way how are y'all doing today.
I use trimec every year near the end of June. we have about 6 weeds in the grass after i'm done. it works great except for the handful that i miss.
Trimec is a good product . I use it twice a year. Spring and fall.

Great video it was good to see Katrill back thank you for sharing
I used to use Trimec weed killer for ivy, oak, sumac and some other invasive vines. It worked good and wasn't really expensive.
This thing is amazing! Love it! Great work as always Tim!
Now, that's the way to spray-mash and go with AC. I gave up on my green dye, couldn't tell where I had been. Great info!

When lower the pressure in the tires, you wont have tracks anymore.
Fertilizer will counter the effects of the weed killer on grass. Weed killer does not kill grass but it does stunt its growth a bit.
As always, great video. I use a Permagreen for my applications. We like the residual effect of granular fertilizer, but that looks so quick and easy..... definitely something to consider.
I can’t find cost effective liquid fertilizer. Wish I could!!!

That worked great with great results. It was nice seeing Katriel again. Will she be home for the summer or off traveling for school?
Before foam markers I had to stand at the end of the field so the airplane could line up on me. I don't miss that
Your sprayer needs sectional control now! The JD dealership I work at, the AMS group(gps weenies) added the same sprayer as yours. But they the StarFire receiver on the cab, auto steer steering wheel. Sold it oilfield company for lease sites. Great video by the way.
Did you have 2 green thumbs after that treatment? Good video Tim, as always, very informative.
Dye works best for bare ground or pre-emergent treatment(the grass is brown). But...if you spray on green grass, I would use blue dye...there is even red dye. I mostly just follow my tracks for boom spraying and not even use dye.
I hope you try the blue die next time. I like to know if it is easier to see and how long it persists after the application.
Basically an ounce or 3/4 ounce per gallon of 2-4D of the LV is plenty for yards. Watch for wind drift. The dye is great just watch for wind drift.
Yup. 11oz/acre. Figure u spray 12 gal solution per acre. So ur close.
i spray Trimec commercially on lawns, works well, i found it to be cheaper at my local pest dealer, but talstar for bugs is way cheaper from do your own pest control site.
Love the gator this system looks nice. Maybe next spray a.angle the spray to the rear more it bar is adjustable

Hi Tim and Christy nice video
I believe you can get with the Purdue extension office to get the book to study the chemical application license. I worked with a company indivule person who had his own business and it was a nice job.
Then then you got to get hazmat to transport to chemicals and placards for your trailer
Not that I know of
Tim I enjoy your channel. Thanks for the verses at the end. Please wear some rubber gloves when handling chemicals. A mask too.
Interesting stuff. Good video Tim

Good tool, should be good for many applications, (ie) food plots etc. bet you can figure a way to add foam marker

Are y'all in Indiana close to Michigan light Flint Michigan or Detroit Michigan or Saint Paul Minnesota to Minneapolis.
Nice setup
How acres do you have and how long did it take you to spray?
Roughly 5 acres of grass. Not sure how long, since we videoed. Probably an hour to spray including mixing.
@@TractorTimewithTim Wowwwww
It seems higher than the one at the plant where its made, was that on a tractor, not a Gator?
The manual says 22” minimum height. However, this seemed to be the lowest setting.
Now that school is out will Katriel be making more frequent appearances on TTWT??

I read the labels. It was discussed and approved there.

I appreciate the equipment review, but as a Vietnam Vet I would be very nervous using 2-4-D (the main ingredient in Agent Orange).
2-4,5T was the true health hazard of agent orange. It was banned years ago. 2-4-D has been used safely for years.
would you think about selling this sprayer? I have a XUV835.
Maybe. Do you not want to purchase a new one?
You would need a commercial chemical license to go spray for people. I have one I have a few spraying jobs I love using flood nozzles.
Mentioned that in the video
Tim. Where can I contact you ?
Tim wish you were closer to me would have you come and spray my dandelions... wish you would be my neighbor ;-)
Maybe you might want to try a foam marker system to it

cost my neighbor 1500 a year for treatment cause I let the wind blow my dandelions in thier yard

Use a product called 2-4-D
Had a brain 🧠 fart why not use marker flags between the widths of rows so you know what got sprayed and what didn’t?
You really shouldn’t spray dandelions there very beneficial to the pollinators and they don’t look that bad
