Can We Farm With ABANDONDED EQUIPMENT? - Ep. 5 - Spraying The Field 

Never thought I'd see Walter White spraying a field of corn. That paint job kicks ass! Nicely done Jessie! Good stuff guys!

I was a custom applicator from the late 80's to the late 90's and I gotta tell ya... That ol' Haggie monster was Living History Farms machinery 40 years ago. No kidding I can't believe you got a decent spray pattern out of it. I figure all your equipment should be on 38 or 36 inch row so thats not too bad, and clean everything out and run some spray cleaner and put some crop oil (ask the neighbors) in the pump etc. to make them last. Also USE RUBBER GLOVES AND WEAR PANTS when handling and mixing!! The hands are the no.1 source of exposure. Any more questions don't be afraid to ask. Also you might call Haggie and ask them for advice, they might come up with some help over the winter. Great job!

So Awesome I point up and say thanks Dad So Glad you reserected that machine. He bought it new. I can't imagine how many acres that old boy sprayed. 2000 acres in 1970. Enjoy 😎 Bud

This and Clarkson's farm is the best series's about farming there is

I really like these farm equipment videos... who am I kidding. I like all of your videos, but I do like how you mix it up a bit. Reminds me of my life, cars, tractors, lawn/farm equipment and trucks

I love how the Giant Pliers have been a sort of character on this channel ... bought as a joke but one of the most useful things you seem to have besides brake clean lol

There is nothing on TV as entertaining as that. Watching that contraption brought back to life with that paint job was fantastic.

This is by far my favorite series. I like “stuff that runs” probably more than a specific car. Then it actually gets used. Cant wait for the combine videos. Or maybe a mounted corn picker and hand shelling. :) don’t forget about a grain truck too.

The sprayer was definitely one of your most challenging restorations but there are so many moving parts, it was a small miracle you made it to the field and actually sprayed. My hats off for this whole series, can’t wait to see you get the corn picker/combine working next. You better start working on that now so you’ll be ready for harvest 😉😁

Great video. Do be careful with those chemicals. Not sure it is good to smell the cans. I hope the corn survives it. Great learning experience. With a few mods / upgrades that sprayer might still be a keeper. Since your first "bombing run" is done, you need to paint a yellow corn cob on the sides of the tank.

@9:10 You guys obviously love your cats, and they obviously love you.... that speaks very highly to me of your character and personality. I like you folks even more.

This is exactly how I would do this. Fixing up cheap, used, good-for-it's-time equipment and either barely getting things done or being to late to do them.

I'm really enjoying your "Barnyard Digs" series. I've lived in the City all my life and had no idea how any of the farm equipment works. It has been really interesting!

Back in the day, that sprayer was someone’s prized possession and saved them thousands of dollars. It’s such an awesome piece of equipment.

This just proves Kevin can make anything run hell that pump had a damn good idle

I was very impressed with this video and how far you've come. Thank your neighbors for all their help, parts and chemicals and such. That was a major help. The damn shark face was freakin' awesome going across the field. I couldn't help but to smile every time the camera panned back. Awesome job for someone who's never done it before.

You did the job that most old school farmers would be proud of , while laughing their asses off at your best effort. Your content is always very entertaining. I never miss a video .

Without a doubt, unquestionably, Kevin is in the process of raising 'Certified IN-Organic Corn' and with the essence of both diesel and gasoline in the spray tank, the corn is guaranteed to make high-yield ethanol fuel to run the tractors for 'next year's crop'! lol

I think that sprayer needs a big block!😉🤣

I like that Kevin is doing a bit of everything now, learning as he goes along like most of us who never received any training.

Green acres is the place to be, farm living is the life for Kevin and Mook 😂 I really enjoy watching you learn how to farm, Jesse did a great job with his artwork. This is more entertaining than any Hollywood production 👍☮️🇺🇲

I love the nose art on the sprayer. That's what it was called during WWII when they painted the noses of the airplanes like that. You really cracked me up with the chemical suit. I was watching Welker Farms RU-vid channel, & they were spraying 22000 acres. The sprayer they were using had a 135 ft boom on it. It took them 24 hrs. to spray their fields.

The way you talk to your machines. Your becoming a good farmer

I’m really impressed with how well that thing actually runs

I never laughed so hard in my life, but you're learning. Next time you might want to count your rows and put a flag in the row right before where you put your tire, so you can keep track of where you're at. Next time you might want to incorporate your fertilize and spray before you plant and when your corns up you can get some drip tubes and side dress your corn with 28. You might want to get Soil samples this fall after you combine and go out and find a drill so you can plant beans next year. Good luck

cant wait to see them play with a combine

Now to find and fix an abandoned harvester... Well done brining these pieces of history back to life! May you be blessed with many a bushel of corn.

Kevin you kicked ass! Proud of you brother! As always you persevered against all odds! Long live the adventuring spirit! It has made America great!

Looks like you have a decent corn crop on your hands . Good for you showing that you don't have to spend $1000s of dollars to get the job kinda done . Love watching the videos keep em coming guys !!

Fantastic vid and Herculean effort Kevin. Dont forget to flush all the spray lines with clean water so you dont have the same problems next time. Great job on the nose art too Jesse. Looks the business.

Hahaha @ 28.14 AND you come out of the house fully covered in nuclear hazard gear… classic 👍

I have a new favorite swear word. "Ow, Ow!!… FARMING!!!" I grew up on a dairy farm, and that one had me rolling!!

You kept saying you were going to have the neighbors spray it and I was like, don't you dare! Super impressed you got that thing working.

This series has been some of the most enjoyable content yall have ever made. Thanks for all the hard work to bring this to all of us.

"Enola Spray." That's awesome. You have restored my faith in the youth of America.

I shared this series with my uncle who is a REAL farmer here in Michigan and he is finding it to be hilarious and in a good way. Thinks that Kevin is funny.

16:36 that’s what we call a “ Craigslist rebuild “ 😉😂

The Enola Spray, giving mother nature a bloody good kicking!. 👍🏻😄

Hands down, THE most I've laughed at one of your videos, watching you drive that crazy contraption and all your commentary. Hilarious!

I'm loving this series on reviving farm equipment. Can't wait to see the next vid. Keep up the great work Kevin, Mook, Jessie and Angus.

These old equipment video's make me smile ear to ear all the time 😂

Crop sprayer son-in-law and I recently discussed why some farms still use over the ground equipment, when aircraft are more efficient, less expensive per acre, and don't crush crops. There are not many plantable lots that can't be sprayed from the air. Although not a farmer myself, I've lived most of my life surrounded by corn, or wheat, peas, beans, etc., and was always curious why so much effort was expended on over the ground work. My neighbour once explained that after spending millions on equipment, he figured he might as well use it for a bit. Kept the boys busy anyway. Love the videos 🕊️

Loving the low buck novelty and success of this series guys. Was hoping wed get updated on the progress of the Corn after planting. Great to see it coming along so well so far. looking forward to the next installment.

I love the safety first mindset Kevin - full hazmat suit. Jesse, more like safety third - 10 feet away, no PPE gear on at all. It's not like it was a windy day or anything.

Well done you chaps for making that heap of crap work again . Most of the time most of the nozzles were spraying at a decent pressure considering the state of the pump . Even the engine seemed to be running quite well at the end . The crop looked pretty good too !

Three cheers for the Enola Spray! You've got all this stuff working - get Angus over to help you 'put it up' for next year - then put in Pop Corn as a "cash crop" 😎👍

Kevin your commentary when you were spraying the field was hilarious to listen to. I definitely agree farmers that can do all that easily are true legends. Your duck suit was the funniest thing I have seen anyone wear.

definitely my favorite series by far

Honestly the best series of this channel in my opinion. Never have seen a sprayer like that and it’s awesome

One really develops an appreciation for farmers and what they had to do.... Great video.

I absolutely love this series! I wish I could give you a double thumps up, please make this videos for a long time! Greetings from Western Germany

I’ve been waiting. loving these farming episodes 😅

This is my favorite series you've done, I really appreciate it! Thanks I'm going to make myself comfortable and put this up on the big screen!

🤣🤣🤣🤣 the scuba Steve outfit killed me!! Great job Kevin and Jesse, this video was awesome and the paint job on the Enola spray was a perfect fit! Kevin in full scuba hazmat gear while Jessie is in the line of fire in shorts and a T shirt love these vids guys! I expect some E85 after this series

This may be the best series all of you have put together! Thank you for such enjoyment!

For a beginner on an old style sprayer you've learned a lot on your own yes standing up is the best way but marking the center of your sprayer before you get in the field it kind of helps

you forgot a crucial step on the pump rebuild....black paint.

Skipped over the positive spots , tank didn't leak , pumped worked after a bit of clean cussing. The Farm Life

I love this series. It was a stroke of genius.

When you walked out in that hazmat suit, all I could think of was, "Jesse, Jesse, we need to cook!"

I don't know the time in America but in the UK when JYD post sit's a good time👍🏻🍻

Green Acres is a place to be ,Farm living is the life for me🚜

It would be cool to see a rebuild of that Wisconsin engine. Those things were absolute workhorses of their era.

Enola spray, absolute genius!

This is currently my favorite series on youtube, been looking forward to this episode. I think it's a good idea to try out farming and show the world how stressfull and hard it can be. Much like Clarksons farm but different enough to be it's own thing.

I had to laugh my butt off at your difficulties with the sprayer Kevin, only because it reminded me of the first time I did it as a kid on the family farm. You did pretty darn good for the first time!👌👍

Congratulations on getting the high boy working. Love the bomber artwork. You have done very well with these old machines. Thank you for sharing

Notification Squad!!! Your guy's videos always make my day. You and Mook are awesome. It's nice to see old iron getting a second chance at life. GOTTA GET THE CORN SPRAYED!!

Love the job you guys are doing on your farm, keep enjoying your place.

So far I think the "Farmer Digs" videos are 5 for 5 of making me cry from laughing too hard

Wow on my 10 hour break in my 2022 Volvo semi truck I watched y'all on TV it was a awesome video bringing back some memories when I was a kid on the farm God bless y'all good night

I laughed the entire time you were spraying 😂😂. Can you imagine plowing fields with mules? And that sprayer part you threw in the yard? When you cut grass it will fly out and probably knock someone’s eye out 😂😂

THE RAINS COMING!!! I just have to say how happy I am that you went the extra mile to make an attempt at spraying with the most terrifying deathtrap of a piece of equipment I've ever seen, and thats saying something. Cool to see a relic back functioning, and it might actually work half decent if you'd been spraying earlier, so next year you'll be all set!

I was thinking yesterday about not seeing anything about the corn y’all planted and then this video comes up. That sprayer gave you so much trouble but yet as you always do, get it running and use the project as is intended for. Great job Sir. Keep up the great content

Dude keep up the good work. I have a huge interest in old farm equipment (some call it a problem) and love taking old equipment and putting it back to work. My dream now is to do what you are doing either next year or the year after (I’m currently 16 so I have time). Keep up the good work with all your videos. (Maybe next year try getting different equipment like a different tractor or truck or something if you continue this farming series for a few years

This was one of the funniest videos iv seen you do kevin! Your commentary durring the spraying was epic! I really hope this works for you. It looked like you knew exactly what you were doing. Hahahalol

Kevin you and Jesse are awesome at getting that old piece of machinery fixed kudos to you I thought it worked really well, The end of the season you will have a lot of good 🌽 Will you send our love to mook. Put that sprayer under some cover so you can use it next year

OMG A CORN VIDEO. Thank you Kevin for finally satisfying my requests for an update. The sprayer works well and nice touch by Jesse. The corn is looking healthy. You might have to dry out some Conrad bag them up and sell them, Kev’s corny corn seeds. Great video and thank you. 🌽🚜🌽🌽🌽🌽

I think you sprayed your neighbors corn five miles away with that wind blowing love this series great job

...good one, nice to see old iron workin' again, keep safe...

I'm just wondering when the combine is coming to the stage ?? I don't see Diggs harvesting the corn by hand if there's any left.. lol 😆

Showing us how it was done old school ! And our hats are off too all the farmers before and now ! Thank You !

Whiever came up w the nose art. Fricking genius. And a Jesse is a good painter.

Can’t wait for an abandoned combine. Loving the series guys!

What legends you are for creating and continuing this series!

Yall are one of the reasons why I bought farming simulator on PC XD Started watching this series a while ago and was so pumped to see this video pop up in my feed......five days late thanks youtube.

This farming with all abandoned equipment, is one of the most genius ideas ever for a series on Youboob!

Fascinating! Now you need to make certain that Mook gets her dump truck road ready to deliver your crop to the market! This is GOOD and hope you have a bountiful harvest!

Pretty sure those old sprayers were NEVER known for their precise steering. Nice job not running over half the corn. Thumbs up guys!

I look forward to the harvest... Am really hoping you do a season 2, your learning to operate that stuff now. I wanna see what happens again!

as this thing slowly starts working piece by piece , you can see what a nice little sprayer it was.

Awesome! Next year you need to revive a crop duster...small plane or helicopter!

Imagine back in the 60s when that sprayer was "state of the art"..

Great video JYD!! Love these farming videos! Takes me back to a time on great grandpa's farm when all you needed to fix something was a bigger hammer, a crowbar and heat!! LOL

That's a cool looking old sprayer. Pretty cool how you bring these old beasts back to life and use them on the farm again too.

Good times Brought back memories . Those sprayers get out n move , they pop wheelies too!

I’m loving the farming videos! I’m from the Midwest as well (Indiana) I enjoy the mix of farming and car videos

Love the fact that you took my idea for the tank and painted it. When I saw the thumbnail for the video, I was like Holy sh!t!!!! Looks amazing and as always, another awesome video

Love the top gear reference at the end.

I am wholeheartedly surprised to find out you of all people knew that song. You sir are a true king of the internet. Cant wait to see more great videos from you guys!
