Your tool bar worked out well. Good job on the engineering. Good idea on putting the tank on the back x of the 4WD. You could possibly have a fabrication shop work up a polypropylene pan for under the tank? Thanks for the update Ethan. Take care. Fred.
Glad to see you wrap up side-dressing. Your rig worked well for the first season out. As with any farmer-built project...minor/major engineering changes are part of the game.
Looks like a success to me. That's why I like my 184-4. Wheel distance, power, traction. When everything you farm is either hillside or swamp, 4wd x HP is an equation that makes life a little better. Happy 4th of July Ethan. Time to enjoy a nice BBQ'd steak with all the trimmings👍👍
The Farmall A's to 140s, often side dressed tobacco with a huge bin of dry fertilizer hanging on the front mounts. You could always tell even years later which ones did that sort of thing. Even if the owners stayed after a fresh water wash down. I have one of those rigs with a duplex planter, for a Cub, I think my grandfather never used. I have run it like twice mostly for fun in all the years I have had the tractor.
How about fender saddle tanks on the back of 4-150 that would open up your sight lines to the rear. Good job building your own applicator, that's why I watch this.
Great job Ethan, years ago we an older applicator bar and it had the tank mounted on the bar, which gave better visibility to the bar and then the wings folded at a 45 to compensate for the tank. I’m sure you’ll pick the right option for you. Only thing was the weight on the 3 point, but never really caused issues. Have a great Independence Day OFB. Keep em comin🇺🇸💪🏻🇺🇸
I agree, that is the best match. I definitely like the idea of putting the tank on the tractor. I believe it would make travel between fields easier. Might even be able to pull the nurse tank behind to get to the field and save a little time and fuel. Just a thought.. thanks for sharing. Be safe and have a great 4th. See you later.
Ethan commenting on my GF computer but on your tank spec try General Metals in Goldsboro N.C. as they made a great amount of the tanks like yours and if they're still in business feel sure they'de supply you with decals on tank decals and readings,,,that nurse tank sure resembles on of there product but come to think of it thre should be a badge welded to the tank indicating specs and manufacturer
If you were using enlist with ams it could have heated up if it was sitting in the tank for an hour or so have had it heat up in my booms between fields before
Double tank idea is not only cool but actually worth it for capacity.
Good to see the tool worked real good heres hoping for a great crop.

truck farming on the side for a few years i built my own 3 pt sprayer and tater hilling tools and had pretty good luck with them

All the work you put into that rig, paid off. Great job
Thanks.
Thank you so much for another great video
Thanks for watching

Fertilizer is hard on things without even having to touch it.
I loved that in-row camera shot
Thanks.
It’s something you mixed together. I had the exact issue when I mixed Butyrac and Clethodim together. Thick white crap that plugs everything.

That was such a cool video shot down by the coulters...sweet

You’d have to mount the tank so far back to clear the wings folding you would never safely pick it up.

The only thing that will suck is taking the tank on and off.
@@Oliver66FarmBoy you have a point there.
You have little bit leftover to fertilize some sweet corn
Your applicator rig worked out well for first season Ethan a credit to you
Thanks.
Ethan, overall it sounds like you made a very good design. Have a great 4th July 🧨🎆🎇 thanks Michael
Thanks.

There’s a build tag on top of it. It was made in Illinois
Man that 4-150 looks tiny without the duals on keep up the great content Ethan
It’s not very big.
ok did you get the water straight from the tap or from a plastic nurse tank im just wondering if it was algae in the water that was blocking things up
It came right from the well.
I'm just throwing this out there, you can put the liquid fertilizer tank on the front of the 4-150 tractor.
No you can’t. You’ll break the front frame. It’s made to hold the engine. That’s it.
@@Oliver66FarmBoy ok. Didnt realize that. Just thought it would be easier to use.
I@@garyfaulds2613 I'd keep the fertilizer as far from the tractor as I could, even if the frame could hold it.
Did you have any fertilizer carey over from the nurse tank because it can heat up your spray with just little bit in it
Shouldn’t have.
What will you do with that oliver sitting by the floater tires?
Relatively new subscriber Ethan, but have you ever talked about the White 2wd cab tractor in the background
If you were using enlist with ams it could have heated up if it was sitting in the tank for an hour or so have had it heat up in my booms between fields before
Eathan, I’ve forgotten the can on the exhaust pipe too. It gave me a startle too. Wooh, what was that ?
It’s a startle.
I bet it was probably the heat. I've heard of that buddy
Tractor Data has listed weight between 14,500lb to 16,960lb. I’m curious how close they are?
Congratsulations Ethan, Happy 4th of July USA 🎇🎆
Thanks.
I know it ant cheep but may be worth re doing your big sprayer and then gust leaving one for corn and the other for beans
I’m aware.
The heat can make it do that I had that happen
I figured that might be a factor.
Does the corn you end up running over come back?
If it doesn’t snap off it will.
What needed to finish what I’m guessing is a 2255 with the cab ?
A large sum of money.
@@Oliver66FarmBoy ah seems like a common problem with some projects
Or go to local elevator scale.
Figure 100lbs. per horsepower or 15,000lbs.
