- Spraying crop is the second most important operation after planting. Weeds grow fast and quickly overtake crops greatly reducing yield and creating a mess for harvest. Thanks to advancements in herbicide we can selectively remove weeds from our crops without damage. Moving PEAS, moving manure, moving chemical!

Great video Nick good luck spraying
I think the fresh water fill is the smaller intake right beside the filling station. :)
To make the most of ground clearance take your climbs at an angle to help get the most of your suspension. You should also do the same when crossing a ditch or whatever so you have good contact. When are we going to see the repair on the Bud that had trouble during planting? You are making spraying great again. Lol. One of the most boring jobs but you guys keep it interesting. Thanks Welkers!

" 1400 acres today, that's not bad" Arrrrrggggg. Grew up dairy farming in Southern Ontario.
It took approximately 15 years of farming to say I hit 1400 acres on any one operation.
But then that's one of the reasons I love what Nick and company do. Because it's different than what I am used to.
Battery powered grease guns are only really good for something with tracks. makes track tension adjustments easy.
any heavy equipment (excavators, backhoes, dozers, etc.) really because of weight, stubborn fittings, etc.; especially when they're in the mud all the time and fittings get clogged or rusty.
I thought I heard leg arms tell nick to clean the shop while he was waiting for the water tank to fill up. Crops are looking good. Good job Nick.
I have just watched the past 3-4 month videos. Stay safe and God bless!!!
You need a trophy........or therapy 😁
Robert Welker yesssss, but I enjoyed them so worth it!!!
Busy busy. We’d night 6/24. Y’all getting some nice rain. Hope it’s general and getting all planted acres
That new car smell is the best! Torgersons detail guys should have a line on sprays to preserve the new car smell in it. Take care and God Bless!
12:50 you can pull the handle out to check how full it is. There is a pin or tang on the handle rod so at one position it will slide in and out with ease, quarter turn and it can be used to push the air out. Also when changing the tube, unscrew it before pulling the rod so you don't pull the grease out of the head. It will prime right up.
Enjoyed the crop scouting. I have a friend who owns a winery in the Finger Lakes and he always says the best treatment for the soil is the footprints of the owner.
all of you inspired me because me and my dad is working on a farm now
My brother has the same sprayer and there's a compartment spot under the buddy seat to put stuff in. He also has boom lights and an auto greaser, that is nice. You can also fill the clean rinse tank by your product fill, or on top.Good job on the video, keep it up.
Hollywood, your vlogs are so entertaining! Entertaining, informative and fun. Thanks for all you do. Enjoyed the content. :)
I am still an addicted - and binge watching - fairly new subscriber. Just want to add that I really love the way you guys treat each-other, your wives and your children and everyone else ! You guys set a truly great example for all of us. As the old saying goes, "You better be nice to the people you meet on the way up the ladder - or - you're going to meet them again on the way back down." Thank you so much for all you do and the great example you all set - oh yes - and - for all of your wonderful sense of humor and humility along the way. Now that truly is awesome! God bless you , and may all your harvests be meaningful and full of bounty!
Glad to have you with us. It's humbling to realize how many follow us. Blessings
I've got a can am like that, you should get the half windscreen for it, flicks the air over your head, a lot nicer to drive.
Instead of an automated greaser, you should get a bucket pump. They have them here in Europe for exactly the same reason you mentioned, knowing exactly how much grease you put inside (there's an adjustment knob). I'm not sure who makes them, i've seen them from different companies, and pointless since you're in US, but those are really nice to use, especially because they have those big tall wheels, so they don't care about mud when you pull them around.
On my brother's farm there's 4 of them in total in the different corners, two are from SKF, look up LAGT 18-50 and you'll find it, and the other two are from Samoa, but they're too old and they don't show up on their websites anymore (those are really nice).
glad to see you back Nick where have you been and whats with the Helicopter
It's a good friend of the boys
We took a few hose clamps and made a place on our grease guns to hold an extra tube for that same reason.
Nick I will have to agree with you, one of my favorite things to do on the farm is spraying also. I like it all, but just something about figuring the rates and chemicals is just satisfying. Oh yeah and the chemical smell.....lol
Bet after all your hard work the lake house is very relaxing. Thumbs up for the patriot looks comfy but visually has nothing on the big brute. The brute is like the rat rod of sprayers.
Brute IS. Thanks BB 👍
Feels good to hear the old music back, great vid today guys
Almost like an airplane heading down the runway as you head those booms down the field and a respectable amount of acreage coverd. Tell Case IH leave the sprayer there!👍
👍
Nick you got it easy with drill crops running auto steer, try 1200a of row crop in a day..
The views out there are awesome. I like that you can see so far and its flat. I live in Massachusetts. Alot of small mountains and hills
We can only get around 700 acres a day here. Our area 15-20 gpa is common rate
I thought you were joking about driving the Defender up on the silo base . What shocked me even more was you launching it of the other side ..lol Great vlog by the way
My 4440 sprayer looks nothing like that one Nick is driving... of course that might be because it's a spra-coupe😁
I must be getting close to being ripe ... I used to be 6'-2" now I'm 6'-0" 🤔
Farn work never ends you just take days off to get some rest and do something besides farm work.
Good to see the crops growing good. Hopefully harvest will be bountiful.
We actually call the seat air conditioning "ball chillers" LOL
Hey Nick talking about grease gun at work we had one with a one hand trigger handle like the one you picked up.. We prefer to use classic grease pumps with the straight handle with a reinforced pipe they last so much longer... And for people who grease many machines you can get battery powered grease guns that take grease cartridges. It speeds up greasing and makes life easier. :-)
Pull down lightly on the “T” handle of the grease gun, when it stops, that’s how much grease is in the gun
I always take a extra tube with me
@@americasdream1265 I'd rather skip the waste and the price and refill from a 30 gallon drum.
Nick if you pull the handle out on the bottom of the grease gun it shows you how much grease is left inside
The helicopter flying about reminded me of the first time visiting the Cambridge sales ground with my Uncle & dad. There were a lot of Suttons in Cambridgeshire and he programmed the wrong one in the navigation. We had to end up landing in a bald patch in an arable field in a desert camo helicopter while my dad and I switched seats as he couldn't read the map, we checked the map, worked out the location and where the sales ground was. We were about 10-15 miles out couldn't miss it when we got close.
The designers of the Case Patriot must have been watching Star Wars, the Empire Strikes Back, when they designed the front end of the sprayer. It looks just like a AT-AT (or what ever those mechanical walking machines are) on the frozen planet.
I've got a legacy grease gun its a 2 speed the high pressure is like 10,000 psi. And pea size amount. And low pressure is about 1.5 inch long glob...sure is nice for large volume.... Just as fast as a electric.
Primes in 2 pumps...
Never seen another one...
Milwaukee has a nice cordless that runs up 2 10k psi and you can adjust dosage per trigger pull
We have roughly a 45 acre field of pretty much wild oats at this point. Probably gonna cut it for hay........
i am a farmer myself but it cool to see you operasjon because we are small farmers thank you for sharing your family with a of us
god bless
12:25 I saw Big Brute waving with it's boom-tip like: "Heeeeeeeeeeellooo!
I'm here, too! Remember me???"😥👍🏻
We love the Brute ❤
Anyone else remember when Nick was excited to run the Brute?🤣🤣🤣
We have a 12V Milwaukee grease gun and it's awesome! I noticed you guys have Ryobi tools and I think they make a cordless electric grease gun now. Also our newest F-350 has the air conditioned seat and after working in the Texas heat it is nice to have that seat. Swamp butt is a thing we deal with here and it sure does help with that. Lol! Thanks for the video!
that sprayer is impressive bit of kit god bless welkers
Wild oats are there forever. We sprayed for them every year.
Thanks for the nice video fields look good have a blessed day
I fabricated an extra grease can holder on my grease pump 😉
Nice!!
Good freaking idea
Ruben Braekman we just have a box of grease tubes in the pickup. 😂
I am a farmer in France and to see that we do the same work is cool, otherwise I do not have such an area or the same material, I am 100%john deere. And i work just in surface of 741 acre (300 hectares) 😅😅🚜🚜
You always need to carry an extra tube of grease, because you know the grease gun is always empty mid greasing.
Now that’s nice looking Sprayer, top notch equipment.. she def eat up the acres for ya and your crops look great.. sweet can am jump on bin floor lol, fullsend
3:53 That one weed you plucked out right there can be eaten. Just grab enough of them, remove the roots, and wash the leaves, then toss them in with your salad, though they do add bitterness that should be offset by a creamy Ranch or Caesar dressing. They're also sold as "Field Greens".
Did you know you can check the grease gun by pulling out the compression rod the further it comes out the more grease you have left
On a grease gun if you pull the rod down when it's loaded however far it goes down is how much grease is left in the gun! It's kinds crazy that most people don't know that lol.when I work I'm forestry my machine had to be greased 3 times a day and each time it took just about tubes of grease! There was 2 zerks that took a tube I'm each one! It was all done with a Manuel Grease gun because we didn't want any air in the system and for many zerks we needed to count from 50 to 250 pumps! Also out of 6 different battery powered grease guns, not one brand ever lasted more than 2 days without burning up! After 2 months of doing that 3 times a day I could best any electric gun!
Awesome video thanks for sharing God bless all
👍
Wild oats can stay dormant in the soil for 12 years. When I grew Broad beans in Portugal however, we came across a parasite called Orabanka that lives in clay soils. It only affects Leguminous crops and can stay dormant in the soil for 50 years. It uses the crop plant as a host, grows another stem from the base to develop a series of flowers and kills the host in the process. Our Broad bean crop was a total loss after looking great at the pod setting stage. Be glad you don't have this fungus in you soil.
Lots Of Manure is a Good Thing. Build up the Topsoil! Add minerals as needed.
You mentioned mosquitoes in the summer. We use Skin So Soft (Avon product), It's very effective and inexpensive. Thanks for some very educational videos, especially for a city guy.
Awesome Video!!!
Oh, the highlight of my week is here!!
Gosh that audio is like wine it just keeps getting better!!!!
6:00. Wher I farm of we get crust we use a thing called a rotaty hoe. It is a bunch of little wheels with spikes on them. We have 30 in rows and there is two wheels fit in between the rows. I'm in western nebraska and we do corn and pinto and great northern beans
All you need now is a TANA waste shredder its capable of shredding difficult materials such as mattresses, tires, cables, ragger wire, municipal solid waste (MSW), or construction and demolition waste. Thus you will be able to both recover valuable materials and reduce the waste volume.
The only issues with all of the stretched rangers and can am rangers (I don’t know the name of it😂😂) all have clearance issues when you go over a log but when one tire is higher than the other it is good on clearance
Yeah, he needs to worry about getting over logs in his neck of the woods real often. 😂
That semi water trailer you have couldn't you rig up a float system and park it by the shack and let it fill while you're out spraying Nick. I had a float deal that I got from the local hardware store and mounted it to the stock tank and hooked it up to the garden hose of the house, this way you don't have to stop and you don't have to worry about it running over. Nick do you have button weeds in Montana. Our main weeds in Our corn and soybeans are sunflowers and button weeds and gypsum weed,and wild pot grows in the ditches.
Do have a timer which shuts off the flow.
5:48... I thought those were burnt up chickpeas from spraying the wrong chemical...but thankfully it’s just the old crop stems from last year. Scared me for a second😂
I know you guys are you huge farm have you looked at the coolamon 200t harvester? It can hold much more grain while waiting for trucks. May not be efficient for your scale..
Yes the clearance sucks but they ride so much better than 2 seat models of the same type. I have a polaris general 4. It rides like a pillow 😌
Am I the only one where everytime they say 4440, thinks 1980s John Deere?
Nope.
Owen Scheider no you aren’t.
Please put on captions we are deaf love your show farm stuff need put on captions
Love farming life. When are we going to see the repair to the BIG BUD hitch?
Probably next month
In Australia we fit auto greasers to the Patriots during pre-delivery, makes life easier
Just wait for Glyphosate resistant Kochia. We have plenty of it in Southern Alberta. We got hailed on hard as well.
We also have some resistance
Good work Nick another great video Patriots sprayer seems to go quite quick keep up the great work say hi to the rest of the team for me from a big fan in New Zealand
👍
@5.09 am I the only one who sees the face in the clouds peeking out looking at the fields??
To fill the rinse tank you can make a garden hose with two female ends then you can fill from the ground with either a 2’’ or garden hose. DON’T let it grow algae though
Just a thought, carry a spare tube of grease with you and save a trip back to the shop.
On the place im working here in east Germany most farms are around 10000 acres und we make around 1000acres per day with spraying
All ways like seeing the Red farm equipment👍🏻
U can adjust the shocks to make it hirrer we did it to ours
Thanks for the video guys keep up the good work and stay safe hope the corona virus is not too bad in your part of the country 👍
We're doing ok here
If you pull down the lever on the bottom of the grease gun it'll show you how much grease is left in it
Nick if you ever decide to give up your daytime job you can reside to acting you do a pretty good job of it.
Hows the lake house coming along, I'm getting excited to see how it turns out. Have you put together a brochure on it at all? I would think you could get Scott's wife to put something together with her artistic skills. I wish I could get your t shirts
in a 6x also a cowfaratt one. I think I would of loved one of those seats in my Peterbilt. As they say Ain't no feeling like Peter mobiling !
You can see pics of the lake house by searching www.vacasa.com/unit.php?UnitID=38454

Ohio Farmer I’m spraying with International 756 Pull behind sprayer
Very nice video, Thank you.
Hey nick do you know that the spring loaded ram on the bottom of the grease gun if you pull that back it tells you how much grease is left in the gun ?
Hey fellers always love the videos
Looks like awsome bit of kit bet sprayer hefty price . Thanks for the video loven what you do.🏆🏆
Am I the only one seeing a face at 5:20 in the clouds?!😂
Anyone think Nick sounds a wee bit like Jeff Goldblum sometimes, particularly at the start of this video? 🙂 Maybe I spent too long at silage today 😅
I know of one farmer who ended up putting some ground into pasture because of wild oats. Plowed it up after 40 years, last 10 years of no cattle. Seeded wheat after plowing and the wild oats came up thicker than a plugged nostril. No wild oats was growing in the previous 10 years is why he decided to try cropping it again. So....wild oats can sit in the ground a long time and still come back. Just like sin that's buried.
Amazing the longevity
Beautiful machine!
Poor Big Brute, gettin less and less time now... LOL. Great video, cheers :)
I like the cinematic shots of you farm😁
Love the video keep up with the great work
Electric grease guns are nice but you can't feel if things are taking grease or not and they make a huge mess cause by the time you realize you got enough grease, it's all coming out or bearings are over greased
The new Bins have to be Christened in an epic way, you must!
I thought it was me smelling bad, until Nick said that he needed a shower. (Ha!Ha!)
If you lightly pull the handle at the bottom it will stop and that will tell you how much is left!
I've seen velvet leaf seeds that have been in the ground for 100 years that are still viable!
Our farm is doing around 1400 acres of organic yellow peas. Do you guys ever rotary hoe your peas or chickpeas to help break up the crust? Thanks for the great videos.
Not yet. They seem to push through
Great video! What’s the one thing on the sprayer that you are most impressed with? God bless!
