Those are some very tough species to control. I would hit it with two apps of Garlon 3 on the fence lines and work back to something like 2-4D for future control. Nice looking sprayer!
I did this earlier this spring in some new to us rented pastures. I went in with really hot loads of r-up and 2-4-d, to knock everything back good and plan on just using 2-4-d as a maintainer in the future. I’m jealous of that sprayer, my little 25 gallon sprayer on my quad took forever.
Ryan sure does know how to put together a good looking video. I took it for granted when I first started watching but lately I've really been noticing the quality. It's like cinematic and stuff man🙂
Thanks for the update, that’s a nice spray outfit you guys have in the Gator. I believe using the hand sprayer would be more beneficial to you in the heavier brush. Hope you have a great week 👍
Another good stuff for fences is "Sahara", or similar "total vegetation control". I used to use Pramitol pellets when I worked for United Gas Pipe Line-- we'd apply it under fences and cattleguards and pig traps and pipeline junctions and stuff where we didn't want ANYTHING to grow... I bought a 50 pound bag of it and it lasted for about 10 years before I used it all up... just throw a big drink cup full of pellets sprinkled into the cattleguard once a year and PRESTO NO weeds or anything trying to grow up in it! Can't seem to get Pramitol pellets anymore, they have the liquid at Rural King, but I haven't gotten any. I got "Sahara" from my seed/chem/fertilizer guy and it works great-- mix one bag (bout 5 lbs I think) in 100 gallons of water and go spray the fencelines... I lay the hand gun up on the fender of the tractor with the trigger lock on and have it spraying ahead of me along the fence line, so it fogs on a swath about 3 feet wide centered on the fence... it kills EVERYTHING and whatever lands on the soil kills everything growing on the soil and sprouting from seed for about 12 months, so you can do it once a year and keep a fence absolutely free of vegetation if you want... BUT beware, NOTHING will grow in treated soil that got sprayed for a year, not even grass... but for a fence, it's great particularly on electric fences because then you don't have ANY wet grass or weeds or anything shorting out the fence when it's wet and rainy... Plus, I've watched cattle, and they basically keep eating in the direction their going until they HAVE to change direction... why a lot of cows will eat up to the fence, then keep eating under the fence and stick their head through and push against the fence to keep eating til they finally run out of stuff they can reach (if they don't push the fence over or pop the wire or whatever first! They get rather single-minded and I think are kinda running on "autopilot" and as long as there's anything in front of them they can eat and are interested in they keep trying to get at it. Spraying the fence and killing everything in a 3 foot swath with the fence in the middle of it, if a cow is grazing toward the fence, when she comes up to the treated band and there's nothing else left to eat in front of her, she'll just instinctively turn and keep eating along the edge of the strip, or double back in a different direction, rather than go up to the fence and look for stuff on the other side of it (most of the time). Reduces pressure and pushing on your fences as well! Later! OL J R :)
If I haven't said this enough lately you have the best videos out. all the work you put in definitely shows I would take a video or two a week that are this well done than one everyday, I have been rewatching alot of your older videos lately. Definitely going to have to pick up one of those sprayers though for our farm. Keep it up!
Great you showed the followup... 2,4-D is good, but honestly I think you'd be much happier with an actual brush killer like Remedy... that's where the basal bark treatment really shines... when we had fences THAT overgrown we just mixed Remedy and diesel at a 3-4 parts diesel 1 part Remedy and hit it with the hand gun (or your boom buster nozzle shooting the fence) and you just rip along and I guarantee it's a "one shot one kill" treatment, and the Remedy will stick around as well, unlike 2,4-D which won't... (it has some soil residual, and it's a systemic herbicide, so once it's in, it keeps spreading to kill roots AND top growth, not just top growth like 2,4-D). There's a lot of good brush killers out now and pasture sprays-- we use Pasturegard in a smaller hand or 14 gallon electric sprayer like that to take out prickly pear and greenbrier on the farm and it's worked GREAT... we literally wiped out prickly pear patches that were about 100 feet in diameter in a single year with that stuff! Come back and push what's left up in a pile with the front end loader and burn it, and the grass comes in like gangbusters! Later! OL J R :)
Remedy is also about $100 a gallon-- it's actually a little cheaper now, and it can be tank mixed with water and a good crop oil or "sticker" or adjuvant to really help it get taken in to the leaves and brushy stuff, which would help. You should try a gallon or two and see what you think. Mixed with water and sticker, it should work great on fences and stuff... Once you have the undergrowth cleared out and fried, you can come back and hit bigger stuff with the basal bark treatment (Remedy and diesel fuel) where you hit the bottom 12-18 inches of the trunks all the way around, doesn't take a lot and it WILL kill them dead as a hammer! Give 'em a year to dry and you can push them right out with that JCB no problems, and build burn piles. Later! OL J R :)
Beats the daylight out of pulling a wagon with a string trimmer, fuel, bar oil, chain saw and water thermos. It did a heck of a job. Strong fences make good neighbors even in CA.
Hey great video- I am glad you got a sprayer set up for your gator- it will make a world of difference. I remember having to do it with hand pumped sprayers from the back of a pick up lol. Be safe and have fun !
Now that you can see through the trees a bush hog type attachment on the skidsteer would clean the fence line great. Great content keep up the great work.
Hey Ryan, from the looks of your results a different nozzle that offers more volume with better coverage may help. For my road ways and fence lines I use the Tee Jet XP Boom Jet XP25 nozzle. It works great with a 2-3gpm pump and can cover up to 16 feet out. Try it out it may do a better job. Farmer Ken in CA.
There's not a whole lot more satisfying than getting back a fence line and killing off unwanted brush, but that 90 gallon tank certainly makes it alot more enjoyable. Nice setup you guys got there, I think it may be the most excited I hear you or Travis in a while when you got it. Seems like you guys are really making an effort to "tame" your fence lines and pastures this year. Can't wait to see the final outcome!
Maybe try mowing the bushy areas before doing the area inside the pasture? Use the mower on the tractor to do it fast and then spray like immediately in the day after
Next time you can buy a lot sturdier radial tires for your wheelers made for forestry chores, Ryan. And later your kids can be used for brush cutting with a hand held Husqvarna 555RXT gas (or more probably a 535iRXT battery electric or a laser sabre). And due to the long rigg tube they can't hurt themselves. Only others including nosey cows! Lol Nice spray pattern and video!
Nice set up. We've got something similar but not as large. Love that nozzle. Bulls are like most men. They always want something they can't have. Great video. Take care. 😎👍👌
You're right it's a war... Rome wasn't built in a day, the pasture and fencelines didn't get overgrown with brush and vines in a day, and it won't be cleaned up in a day. The good thing is, you can take a gradual, systemic approach to it and REALLY clean that land up and get it back in good shape, so it can start producing more grass for you and creating less destruction to the fences, giving you more peace of mind with your livestock staying where they're supposed to be. It's a combined approach of mowing and spray will get you where you want to be-- it'll take a few years, but you can speed up or slow down the process to fit your time and budget; it'll get there and the sense of accomplishment and greater carrying capacity of your land, better condition of your fences, will really show the benefits of doing it, particularly over the long haul. AND, the longer you work at it, the easier it gets-- once you "get done" basically it becomes a matter of minor maintenance treatments and minor follow-up work to keep things in good shape-- which takes hardly no time at all and little money! BUT, the dividends in better grazing and more manageable pasture ground will keep paying dividends and grow year by year as you improve the land. Later! OL J R :)
Hey Ryan, Down here where I am in Florida, I use a product called Pasture Pro, and I mix a Hot mix in my spray tank. Now granted I don't have the set up you have Just a 25 gallon spray tank that I pull behind my little tractor. Kills everything except the grass. Not sure if you can get it there in Wisconsin, Worth a shot to try it if you can get it. Thanks for the video.
A good alternative is getting goats, Hannah. They will eat all they can reach and a little bit more including bark on the trees. With African dwarf goats they even prune the trees climbing up to the top with their original pattern free-climbing soles. Especially as my neighbor here in Sweden have them escape-artists, non reacting to electric fence for bisons - and my old apple trees are more tasty, but they are very nice to get them back with some help of cookies! Haha! Ps. I use construction site fence with overhang around my still wanted appletrees to be (a bit) sure.
Fortunately we don't have honey locust trees, but I've seen plenty of them in Indiana on the BIL's farms. What a mess. We have mesquite and huisache which is just as bad, huisache especially since it is covered in thorns about an inch long or so that will pierce nearly anything (in fact they hollowed them out and used them as hypodermic needles during the Civil War!) Best thing to do with those thorn type trees that will perforate tires like that is just to spray them with a mixture of Remedy and diesel all around the base about a foot to foot-n-a-half up from the ground. It will kill them dead as a hammer and then they can EASILY be knocked over next year with the JCB, and pushed into a burn pile, or picked up with the pallet forks and moved to a burn pile, which prevents them from being shattered and scattered to perforate tires... The mower can take out the stuff that isn't as prone to take out tires to your hearts content, but better to just kill the tire-busting stuff in-situ and then get rid of it later in a "cleaner" way... Later! OL J R :)
Hey thats a pretty good set up i must say works awesome. Congrats again on your engagement u too!!! Hey question for ya ryan if possible on a rainy day could u do a update video on the old stave silo if its rebuilt yet and on your cousins farm after the tornado wondering how things have progressed since it happened. Thank Ryan again for all u do and have a good one!!
@@HowFarmsWork cool well hope u do find it love to see what it looks like now! How is your cousins farm coming along since the tornado they rebuild everything???
You using Garlon or equivalent: oops just heard you say crossbow so yes but you mixed with diesel, why not a surfactant like Sticker, I find 10% glyphosate mix to Murder a fence line pretty awesome, but I understand why you do it this way
I’d come adopt all those with a spade truck if you weren’t so far away. We can use more trees like that here in the Sandhills. Understandable though how they can be a pest.
I’m glad you’re doing that there’s a lot of farmers that are too lazy to take care of their fences and pastors I live in northern Tennessee and I just moved here a year ago and I can’t believe how farmers just let the pastries grow up and brush good job
I hope you make another video to show the results of this. Hehe. I guess I should've watched the whole video before I commented. (Always a good policy.)
Question: I noticed the tops of the tanks of that nice rig were 'moist.' Are you getting some overspray around the back of the vehicle? The self-built rigs I work with are showing their age. I want look into purchasing this rig, but not if it has overspray issues. Thanks!
That sprayer set up is sweet! Did you get it locally or source parts online? My wife and I were on our way to Galena the other day for our anniversary and we happened to drive past your farm. I saw the Rockville sign and had a 💡 and there was big red. We’re nearly neighbors. Thanks for the video!
When you're dealing with a lot of established stuff (that's been growing a long time) it can take awhile to kill that stuff off... perennials have had time to develop a huge root system and have a lot of reserves and it takes a good strong dose of a systemic killer to really get in there and wear it down and kill it. Top growth killers like 2,4-D will kinda just get "shrugged off" by old established perennial stuff like that. It'll roast new growth that's popped up from seed pretty well, but the old stuff it just seems to get sick and hang on. For the money you're better off with a systemic like the Crossbow or Remedy... OL J R :)
I am interested in your opinion on organic farming. I was a conventional farmer my whole life and I am retired now. I have read information that claims organic farming is more profitable and was wondering what your thoughts on this is. It’s hard for me to believe if this type farming is more profitable the majority of farmers wouldn’t do it. If you have a video on this or would make one I sure would like to watch it. I suspect others would too. Even a comment would be appreciated.
ROUND UP MAXIMUM RATE AND SPRAYING AT THE LAST OF THE WARM WEATHER AT THE END OF SUMMER GIVES YOU THE ADDED BENIFIT OF WINTER KILL. I DONT KNOW ABOUT DURACORE BUT SPRAYING AT THE RIGHT TIME OF YEAR IS IMPORTANT...
Crossbow my# 1 go to !
Crossbow is awesome! It even kills blackberries!!!
Always nice to see you and the missus having a good time !
Keep spraying. A couple years of doing it, your fence lines will be so much easier to maintain. Thumbs up.
Those are some very tough species to control. I would hit it with two apps of Garlon 3 on the fence lines and work back to something like 2-4D for future control. Nice looking sprayer!
Thank you for showing how it worked out. Always interested in how to manage property like that.
I did this earlier this spring in some new to us rented pastures. I went in with really hot loads of r-up and 2-4-d, to knock everything back good and plan on just using 2-4-d as a maintainer in the future. I’m jealous of that sprayer, my little 25 gallon sprayer on my quad took forever.
The juice box at the first of the video killed me, lol.
Keeping fence rows clear is one of those never-ending battles.
It's probably why you want kids. Look at the old generation Kuster's - they had it!
Everything is a never-ending battle
Congratulations to you and hannah
Ryan nice work on the fence lines. Couldn't be happier for you and Hanna.
Ryan, all your videos should be required watching/testing for all AG students from this point forward. Well done young man.
Nice to see the Fence. Cool functional sprayer. Thanks for the video.
Really like the sprayer setup 2 45gal tanks with 4 independent nozzles pluse a hose with 2 settings...

The most important step in fence maintenance is keeping that fence clean.
Good job Ryan ,Hannah and Rocket , it can be hard enough kill off some of that old growth, that is a very neat sprayer:):)
Thanks!!! for the video
OLF recommends Tire Ject and no more flats. I knew I saw a engagement ring afew videos ago. Congratulations. Thanks for the videos.
That stuff works!!! Kinda pricey but worth it!
Years ago, I had several acres with fences and I always went to the local Co op and bought 2,4 D and it worked great with diesel fuel.

Need to put some soap in with your batch helps cut the wax on the plants an get a better kill
Great How farms work, thanks for sharing
Looks like using the hand nozzle would work best on the heavy brush on the first pass.
Looks like that sprayer is very useful investment for the farm. A follow up or time lapse of the spray might be cool to see later on
Awesome video 👍 that’s a great idea 💡

This is handgun work. Boom spraying is for maintenance after under control. Should spray to wet( dripping off)
nice video, keep them coming please. Greetings from Belgium
think about the work the farmers used to have to do before motor vehicles and herbicides
"the Crossbow Project" happy 4th!
Remedy ultra with diesel fuel will cure your tree problem or spike. Grazon remedy ultra mix also works well
I was gonna comment to use crossbow then I got closer to the end and see your using it.
Mix in some dish soap to make it stick better
Nice drone work. The hand nozzel might get more where you want it.

@@HowFarmsWork cool well hope u do find it love to see what it looks like now! How is your cousins farm coming along since the tornado they rebuild everything???
Have you tried something like RM43 or Imazapyr?
i use gordons brush killer, great stuff.
Add of dish soap to it that helps a lot too
Might have to give it a double hit just to push it back hard enough
Awesome vids you got a new sub!
Thanks for following!
You using Garlon or equivalent: oops just heard you say crossbow so yes but you mixed with diesel, why not a surfactant like Sticker, I find 10% glyphosate mix to Murder a fence line pretty awesome, but I understand why you do it this way
I’d come adopt all those with a spade truck if you weren’t so far away. We can use more trees like that here in the Sandhills. Understandable though how they can be a pest.
I’m glad you’re doing that there’s a lot of farmers that are too lazy to take care of their fences and pastors I live in northern Tennessee and I just moved here a year ago and I can’t believe how farmers just let the pastries grow up and brush good job
Did that switch come with the sprayer or did you have to buy it separately? If so where did you get it? Thanks!
Why didn't you use round up on the fence line and trees? We always used it growling up and always had good results with it.
Always a bit tricky to get the mix right when you're using a selective herbicide.
Nice, Ryan! What music track did you use around the 9:00 +/- mark?
Where did you get your sprayer or did you build it?
I mix 24D and Roundup, it really kills things off
Yeah I bet that’s got to be one of the hottest mixes of all time 😂
Duracor is a slow burn. But, will get the job done. I would add some glyphosate.
Do you still use the Rhino mower to cover large area’s of the pasture or was that just a demo that you used in previous videos?
I hope you make another video to show the results of this.
Hehe. I guess I should've watched the whole video before I commented. (Always a good policy.)
Wouldn't a CAT D4 be a more effective machine to accomplish the desired results?

It was raining, which would wet the tank tops
What are your thoughts about all of the hoopla concerning glyphosate and Roundup?
What kind of spray are you using?
That sprayer set up is sweet! Did you get it locally or source parts online? My wife and I were on our way to Galena the other day for our anniversary and we happened to drive past your farm. I saw the Rockville sign and had a 💡 and there was big red. We’re nearly neighbors. Thanks for the video!
Pretty sure he ordered it direct through Sloan’s. It’s made to fit right in the gator.
I would try Grazon that burns everything up
Can you mount the spry bar to the side or the utv so that it will spray higher in the brush
Die brush Die! I like the sprayer set up on the gator.
When you're dealing with a lot of established stuff (that's been growing a long time) it can take awhile to kill that stuff off... perennials have had time to develop a huge root system and have a lot of reserves and it takes a good strong dose of a systemic killer to really get in there and wear it down and kill it. Top growth killers like 2,4-D will kinda just get "shrugged off" by old established perennial stuff like that.

OL J R :)
Shouldn't the sprayer be pointed lower to kill the brush at the roots instead of being sprayed higher?
where did u buy the sprayer from? that would be nice 2 have on our farm.
might want to consider a brush killer spray on fence lines.
Try Tweels they do work
So I guess I can expect my water to taste funny in a week or so.....😉
Hey Ryan. How much Crossbow did you use?
get you some crossbow brush killer

I have read information that claims organic farming is more profitable and was wondering what your thoughts on this is. It’s hard for me to believe if this type farming is more profitable the majority of farmers wouldn’t do it. If you have a video on this or would make one I sure would like to watch it. I suspect others would too. Even a comment would be appreciated.
Could you and Hannah make a video on how are you guys met
I’ll bring it up to him to talk about it in a live stream 🤷🏽♀️ that’d be neat
ROUND UP MAXIMUM RATE AND SPRAYING AT THE LAST OF THE WARM WEATHER AT THE END OF SUMMER GIVES YOU THE ADDED BENIFIT OF WINTER KILL. I DONT KNOW ABOUT DURACORE BUT SPRAYING AT THE RIGHT TIME OF YEAR IS IMPORTANT...
