    Double tank idea is not only cool but actually worth it for capacity.

    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🇺🇸💪🏻🇺🇸

    • @Oliver66FarmBoy
      @Oliver66FarmBoy  2 дні тому +1

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

    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
