Oh Hell yes! When you first dropped the idea I was like, you clever bastard! This is why I watch your channel, interesting content, sense of humor and that can do attitude. Love it.
Hi from France, i'm more or less a city slicker,although i now live out in the boonies and comute daily to my job in the big smoke, i really do enjoy your chanel,i do watch others, but i find it great to finally see a farmer who seems to get by without spending millions each season and well seems honest enough to show how the "older" stuff can still bring in some dollars,with all the ups and downs associated. Great little chanel.
on one hand what a crazy idea. on the other hand what a crazy idea. 😂 Seems like the tractor will be intact for tractor work and there is plenty of room for upgrades and adaptive changes over time. You might even be able to dual up and straddle all the rows when it's really wet. You have some options to add a closed center pump system on the tractor due to the belt drives. You can probably get an even bigger tank between the wheels and mount the 300 gal up front...add a tow behind tank....spray and plant in one pass... etc❤ good luck and thanks for sharing this project with us 😊
I built a sprayer out of a Broyhill pickup sprayer for 125 dollars Set it on my old big tire spreader gear added hydraulic cylenders to the booms from a gleaner combine and added ft to make it 3 units wide of the bean planter .I sprayed 600 acres with it for 7 years. Love it
That forklift has proven to be one of the smartest purchases you have every made. How could you have muscled that around without it? Not to mention all of the other projects you have tackled with it. Always a "thinker" and more importantly " a Doer". Great videos!
I think I would paint the tank red to match leaving a 12"wide stripe in the center all the way around the tank so you still have a sight glass for its liquid level.
Should put a small chem inductor on the side or on the spraybar so you dont have to hoist chemicals up and down the tractor and make a hose hook up down below so you also dont have to climb up to put the hose in the tank.
You really need to pick up a cheap plasma cutter. It’ll change your life! The phrase “hot knife thru butter” comes to mind. Just make sure you get one with pilot arc.
That's a brilliant idea, making use of what you have . Here in the UK 🇬🇧 we mount tanks on the rear some of the smaller 1200 and 1205 have been converted to slurry tankers and lime spreaders . Great video J T
Jt. Make sure you can make everything quick and detectable as far as your controls,plumbing etc, so you can unbolt the tank ,lift it off if you want to and to use the tractor for other farming activities if needed
Chem Farm made a front mounted sprayer unit in the ‘70’s. My brother had a MF 4840 with this unit installed. A crankshaft belt drive ran the pump. Massey axles were not heavy enough to have this weight out front, so issues developed in later years. Other neighbours used rear mounted tanks on Versatile 875 and 1100 tractors. Incorporating chemicals this way improved productivity. Good on you for reviving this system.
You might be able to loosen off your tank straps and slide the tank back an inch or two and give your tank the clearance it would need and not touch the cab end at all. Thanks for taking us along
Hi from Galway Ireland as a retired farmer from epilepsy I loved the way you put the machine together I drove a lot when I was young but can't drive anymore due to it but 10 out of 10 for effort much appreciated cheers Declan 👍👍🖐️🖐️
I know you enjoy working on your projects, but this one is special to you. I could see the sparkle in your eyes and a bit more giddy-up in your step! I believe it will work fantastic for you. Good job and thanks for taking us along with you!
Great job dude I really enjoy today's show that looks better than I thought it would even that is a great idea and it turned out really nice and I think it's going to work perfect for you , you utilize your equipment very efficiently,!!!
I appreciate the small farm ingenuity, i remember seeing a giy that built a self propelled cart our of a combine that the separator took a shit on... full honestly in high school, we blew up our IH 1460 combine, it had a 5.9 cummins, the only place we found one was the local dodge dealer, so we had the only combine withba dodge valve cover innthe county. Lol
JT just a couple of thoughts, on the bottom of tank put a tee not an elbow so as to have a wash out /drain, us some rubber mounts on the frame to frame to reduce vibrations
😁Fantastic result. 👍That Tank is kissing close to the fuel tank at full turn .I would unstrap it and move it a couple of inches to the rear in its cradle. great video thanks
This was a brilliant idea, bud. Good thinking, and thanks for bringing us along for the execution of said idea! Also... 25:47 maybe a little more grease on the mast of that lift... My ears are still ringing 😂
Your joy in modifying the 1805, and recovering the 1150 is infectious! Be Careful! Tis a long road that has no curves! When are the trim parts due for the 1150? (Grill and nose)Nice work. Put your feet up!
I have a suggestion for ya... add a rod to the left side of the forker seat, pivot at the bottom.. then attach a link rod from the old forward to reverse lever to the new one you just added and then you no longer have to reach behind you to move the fork lift. And it would not be in your way... just thinking out loud
@jtsbarnngrill6873 oh! I see now! I was watching you pump that lever to move the back and forth.. just had my brain gears turning. Love the sprayer!!!!! It's just 100 percent badass!
Hey JT, that looks like it will work just fine. With a good harvest you'll be the envy of the County! I can just picture you scouting for more land! Thanks
Love it JT! I t has the benefit of the booms being on the 3 point and completely removable if you did happen to need the tractor for other things. Great plan!
Well damn JT, I think you just won the HFE merit badge. That is Hobby farmer engineer. Son of a biscuit, you really came up with a great idea. I am really impressed, cause as i am thinking about, that should work slicker than sliced bread. Cant wait to see ya run it. Happy farming. Enjoy a few blue mountains and take a little break... later
You cold leave the cradle on and just loosen the tank straps and lift the tank off with some wipe cloth lifing straps using your forklift ,to lift it off and store just the tank during off spraying season ,leaving the cradle bolted on the tractor, so you can gain better equipment viewing if doin field work
Man JT you need a torch and a plasma cutter. So much better and faster. Torch is always how would remove bearings and stubborn bolts with the heat. Just a suggestion.
Excellent video JT :) also always have faith in super ideas 💡 👍 😀 and work too super even take lots videos on get finished to! Bet never give up and you enjoy doing too ! I same way to idea, then planning , need , get , go to steps and keeping up to on determination finishing it ! That how I do too and like task too even if never been done before Lol!
Nice one j.t. it's going look really good when done lot better than old one. Great job. Hope you don't mind bit of a feed back. Like I say just something I would off done different I would off ether a small frame or found a old small forklift for the Marst so you could lift up the spray booms up bit higher. But that's just me. But great video as normal can't wait for Sunday. Having that little 35 around all was good to have as a shunter tractor you will be surprised what they can pull. From Andy in uk
JT..you are one busy man, and always thinking..scheming, tinkering....and with pretty good results, albeit, most of the time..still working thru your content videos..but my younguns love the tractors..they want to see the 1150 pressure washed..so do I..peace and safety from us in Western NY..
Love the repurposing and creativity. Plus more fun using your big MF’r. The Welker channel made a monster sprayer out of a big bud plus semi plus NH sprayer. Pretty sure the MF’r is about 1000x cheaper and 1000x faster to build.
Wait until this story gets to the local grain elevator/Co Op 😅 😊 All that tractor for that little tank ...not knocking it at all I think it's great just figure they're going to have a good laugh at your expense 😊
Boss ONE fine spray setup, be great if vevor would let you sponsor one of the nice Plasma units to use on the farm. What the hay give them a call. Excellent video
