Very cool! Love the glimpse-within sorta videos like this that show a real-world example of something us not-farming-folks wouldn't see. Thanks for showing where our food/meat comes from!
Some of the farm equipment is just crazy and I'm always fascinated by how we can engineer this stuff for specific jobs like this. Thanks a lot for checking this one out DB! 💪
Hey Neil I like the new Logo! Farming has changed so much over the years to increase efficiency. This puts the fertilizer right where the plant needs it wasting virtually nothing. Appreciate you showing us this!
Well you've seen this kinda stuff plenty of times then! I've got to spend a good bit of time in an 884 Rogator at my previous job testing steering equipment. Very good machines. Appreciate you watching friend!
There are a lot of complaints about the complexity of modern equipment across a lot of industries, farming being one of them, but some of the new technology stuff is just so awesome.
I like the variety of things you cover in your videos. I wouldn't just go to a farming UA-cam but you putting it out there I figured it was worth a look
Never seen anything like that in NC. They may use stuff like that in the eastern part of the state but our fields aren't nearly as big as the field y'all we're in. Cool video, thanks for sharing.
Sure beats hoeing in N granules along the base of each row!! That’s the technological level I’m familiar with. Even being retired I wouldn’t have the time to do 40 acres… I can barely make it through forty feet of sweet corn! I marveled at a smaller unit spreading herbicide over my son-in-law’s pastures this summer. Watching it work, I was skeptical that it would get everything. Especially in the pasture with trees and brush to maneuver around. But, two weeks later there was no doubt that it was spot on!!! Thanks for showing this… it was not only interesting. It also helps to prove that farmers ain’t just a bunch of science denying Rubes. That machine is many times more advanced than the dinky “Robot Lawnmowers” which tech savvy suburbanites point to as proof they have mastered ‘state of the art’ in their battle against Mother Nature! Neil, it was such a pleasure to visit in KY. I showed the photo to Nana and she said… “He looks just like he does in the video. But, you look fatter.” I told her it was because I’d been eating road food for three days. I don’t think she bought it!! I got a few feet of video and several photos with other UA-camrs. If I can get a break in my vacation schedule I’ll throw up a few photos. Were you putting something together? As I said, I thoroughly enjoyed getting to visit and swap stories… we need to figure a way to do it again!
Even being in the Ag industry I'm still fascinated by some of the machines and specialty equipment of today's modern farmer. It is hard to keep up with it all! I'm thankful that some of the viewers have found it interesting despite being a bit different than my normal videos. It's always a roll of the dice to throw in something new so thanks for clicking still! It was a joy to meet you as well. I was grateful for the opportunity and appreciate the fact you drove out there to meet and visit with all those great UA-camrs. I'm excited to see what you have for pics and video from the event. I'm going to try to put something together to document the show and what we got to do although I wasn't very purposeful about filming while I was there and I haven't even looked at it all yet. Hopefully I can throw something together. Continued safe travels to you. Hopefully Nana doesn't put you on a diet in response to those pics! The camera adds 10-15# remember :). Vacation is the best time to eat!!! We'll get together again sometime! Thanks Dave. It was a highlight for me.
@@digdrivediy nice new logo . but i liked the old one too. old school haha i love it . some channels have to have a new and hip logo every so often and then those logos that you think "hey is that a new channel". but this one is nice
Awesome. I wondered how much of this could be seen on the farming channels. I watch some of them but don't follow regularly. I appreciate you watching!
The tall sprayers have always been so interesting to me and it was really cool to get the "ride along" feel through your video. Both your Grandpa's would be floored by today's technology and equipment. Dad so enjoyed all of Mark's "giant machines". I know they'd be so proud of you and all your expertise in what they spent a lifetime doing...just like we are! What else did you do with the fiesta?
Yeah, it would be interesting to know their reaction to all this stuff. You know how I've always been fascinated by it! The fiesta has stories but I'm not at liberty to divulge all of them per client privilege protocols. 😂
I had a Ford Focus one year, and every one of those I saw I was so tempted to drive under it like a short guy going through the legs in a basketball game 🤣🤣🤣
Oh I know what you mean! I had a Ford Fiesta in high school and well... It fits under there. It was a controlled experiment though not going down the road. Thanks Rob!
Glad to have you watching. Yes, it feels fast in there too! I think the tech will get more automated and eventually start to get smaller. Time will tell but just seems like we can't hardly get any bigger!
Nice shots especially the one from the ground when the sprayer went over it 😳. It does look like a praying mantis when folding 😂. like your new logo Neil 👍🏻. Have a great week 🙂🙋🏼♂️👍🏻
How does slapping the top and tassel around affect the corn? Cool way to be sure the corn has the needed nitrogen! As a UA-cam farmer I see dramatically different ways of doing things depending on land and climate of the area. I would guess that the people that irrigate just put the nitrogen in the irrigation water. The most innovative way I have seen a "sprayer" used is as a crane without the boom to lift a pivot tower so a wheel and tire could be replaced in a tall field of corn. Walking the tire out and then getting the tools walked out and jacking up the tower would of taken half a day or more and not even near as safe when jacking up the tower in the mud.
It doesn't bother the corn at all. May even help it to pollinate a little, although I have no proof of that concept. But the corn isn't really affected by it much more than what a hard wind would do at this growth stage. Good question though for sure. Yes, we do have some clients that "fertigate" by putting on fertilizer through the pivot. It isn't always consistent however but it can be. The sprayer as a crane sounds like a brilliant use of a machine. I had never heard of that so thanks for sharing. And especially thanks for watching!
That was pretty cool Neil. Long way from a guy with a bag of fertilizer walking up and down the rows. Kinda answers the question of why farm equipment costs 175K these days. We know how you are though brother. You just wanted to show off a recipe that you wrote during your "day job" to justify all those wages Greg has been paying you for so long! Hell, it's all good and necessary to have guys like you to go out and "sniff the dirt." Just think, without you, no one could enjoy their corn flakes in the morning! Might be something to this "Dirt Boss" alter ego of yours! BTW, Kara still wants a fireplace.
Ha! It's good to see those recipes get cooked up once in a while! You always send them out the door and don't get to see the results so I had to go jump in. Kara has nearly forgotten about that fireplace so I hope she hasn't been reading your comments. I could be off the hook. Except winter... winter is coming. She's gonna remember eventually. :) Thanks for watching Greg! Oh, BTW - I got to hang out with Wes the last couple days. What a great guy. (If I remember correctly you came over from Wes's channel?) Anyway, thought you would like to know. He and I get along great. Take care.
Another great example of how technology is used for the production of food for the nation. Thanks for sharing
I thought so too. Thanks Gordon!
Very cool! Love the glimpse-within sorta videos like this that show a real-world example of something us not-farming-folks wouldn't see.
Thanks for showing where our food/meat comes from!
Great video! I had not seen that machine in action just at a farm show. Thanks.
Thanks Christy! Yeah, I just think it's awesome equipment!
That is some piece of equipment I've seen them going down the road but never really knew how they worked Thanks for the education !
Some of the farm equipment is just crazy and I'm always fascinated by how we can engineer this stuff for specific jobs like this. Thanks a lot for checking this one out DB! 💪
Hey Neil I like the new Logo! Farming has changed so much over the years to increase efficiency. This puts the fertilizer right where the plant needs it wasting virtually nothing. Appreciate you showing us this!
Thanks Ben! Glad to have you see this one. Appreciate you noticing the logo. I wasn't sure about it.
Wow that thing was moving through the corn !! Thanks for sharing that !
It feels fast in the seat too. Appreciate you watching Steve!
I have seen one on anther video but not in person. I find it fun to learn about things when a person can understand
I'm very glad to hear you say that. I thought it was pretty cool. Thanks for watching!
I’m a product and technology specialist for Rogators and Terragators here in Indiana. I really enjoy working with application equipment.
Well you've seen this kinda stuff plenty of times then! I've got to spend a good bit of time in an 884 Rogator at my previous job testing steering equipment. Very good machines. Appreciate you watching friend!
best ag equipment video ever hands down
87 caviler fit neatly underneath the ones in my area back in the 90's
Thanks Henry! It's like they're just asking to be driven under when you've got a little car! Appreciate your viewership sir!
Never seen it! Love how you were willing to go on the outside of that machine for some footage! You sir….are dedicated! Much appreciated!
Thanks! I thought it was a cool opportunity for something different. Very much appreciate your feedback as always!
Did you hear a little voice saying, "Dad, that's not a good idea."
@@HwllMI The thought crossed my mind but ya gotta get the shot!
Thanks for sharing. And here I am trying to perfect 1gal per 1000sq ft with my tank sprayer on my zero turn. The fall of learning what not to do 😀
Oh boy! Sometimes it's much tougher on a smaller scale Jim. Best of luck getting that sorted out and thanks as always for tuning in sir!
Thanks for taking us along Neil it was interesting! Have a great week!
Appreciate it Mike!
Very fascinating and interesting content! Thank you for sharing Neil
There are a lot of complaints about the complexity of modern equipment across a lot of industries, farming being one of them, but some of the new technology stuff is just so awesome.
Right on Kyle. In this case it solves a problem that wasn't easily solved in the past. Thanks for watching!
I like the variety of things you cover in your videos. I wouldn't just go to a farming UA-cam but you putting it out there I figured it was worth a look
That means a lot to me to hear you say that. Thanks for watching and enjoying the variety.
im no farmer but found it very interesting....great shots as well Neil...cheers!!
I'm glad to hear it John! Thanks for watching!
Not the normal type of video I'd watch, but interesting to learn something new about how our food sources are actually sourced. Cool video Neil.
Thanks a lot Don. Appreciate you giving it a chance and thanks for watching.
I’ve heard of the technology. Haven’t seen anyone running one of those rigs around here. Glad you took us on a ride along. Very informative. 👍🏻
Thanks for tuning in Lucas and glad you enjoyed it.
Very interesting content. Thanks for posting and sharing. Keep up the great work.
Thanks a lot Jerry!
Wow Neil, technology has come a long way. Thanks for showing very interesting.
Appreciate it Ron. Grateful to have you watching and being supportive of the channel.
Great Job Neil I too raised on farm but enjoy Construction as well
Alright! Glad to hear it John. I'm not the only one :) Thanks for watching!
Great video. Elliot does a fantastic job! Late N should pay off this year!
Thanks Greg. I thought he was doing great! Anxious to see how this field does for you.
@@digdrivediy one of the ones he Y-Drop was 250 today 😀

Really appreciate it BD. It is cool to hear how it is done elsewhere and who or who hasn't seen this kinda thing. Thanks for checking it out!

Glad to have you watching Stephen!
never see a machine like that. an interesting machine. new youtube logo i see. thanks for the video Neil
Yes! What do you think of the logo? I thought it was time for something more refined. Thanks for watching Hollandduck!
@@digdrivediy
nice new logo . but i liked the old one too. old school haha i love it .
some channels have to have a new and hip logo every so often and then those logos that you think "hey is that a new channel". but this one is nice
Very interesting, we are about to start harvest around here. We saw similar machines when they could use them when it was to wet they aerial sprayed.
That's cool to hear Nev. The high clearance sprayers are very common around here but we also use airplanes as well. Thanks for watching!
Love you content and your videos keep getting even better. Another great video, thank you Neil.
I appreciate it AC! Thanks for the kind words and thanks for watching a little more "off-topic" video!
that was so cool.cant believe turning at the end of the field that the corn dent get run over
Yeah that all wheel steer really helps to minimize the corn that gets ran over. It's a neat machine.
Very cool Neil and I watch 4/5 of the top farm channels out there never heard of applying the nitrogen because of to much rain thx
Awesome. I wondered how much of this could be seen on the farming channels. I watch some of them but don't follow regularly. I appreciate you watching!
Pretty cool piece of equipment..
I thought so too. Thanks Gregg!
Wow!! That’s incredible. He was flying laying down that nitrogen.
It's pretty cool to watch and ride along with for sure. Thanks Bob!
Impressive, thanks for sharing
You bet Eric!
That is a very interesting site to see. I knew this was done but didnt know how
It is pretty cool. Thanks for checking it out!

Oh I know what you mean! I had a Ford Fiesta in high school and well... It fits under there. It was a controlled experiment though not going down the road. Thanks Rob!
Nice video and thanks for sharing. Over 12 MPH in the field......that's moving at a good clip. New technology at its best. What could be next????
Glad to have you watching. Yes, it feels fast in there too! I think the tech will get more automated and eventually start to get smaller. Time will tell but just seems like we can't hardly get any bigger!
Pretty cool, I hadn’t seen one in operation
It's wild driving through the tall corn too.
Very nice thank you love your videos
Nice shots especially the one from the ground when the sprayer went over it 😳. It does look like a praying mantis when folding 😂. like your new logo Neil 👍🏻. Have a great week 🙂🙋🏼♂️👍🏻
Hey thanks! Yeah I couldn't shake the praying mantis comparison. Appreciate your comment on the logo.
That is really cool technology for the farming is come a long ways
Sure has. Thanks David👍🏻

Ha! I'm sure he could try!
i have seen one
Nice. I figured there might be a few.
We are 110'
