Spraying 12ft Tall Corn: Hagie STS16 

+TwoHappyChildrenFarm thank you for watching.

Manuel Hernandez I believe that New Holland purchased the Miller sprayer so the sprayer your talking about is a miller with New Holland paint

Not the same sprayer. The New Holland (blue) and Miller (red) are similar. This is a Hagie, made by a company that was purchased by John Deere. The John Deere and Hagie sprayers aren't similar though.

Exactly

+jwedel1777 farming is not perfect.

Always feels good though

pro tip: watch series at Flixzone. I've been using them for watching all kinds of movies these days.

@Lennon Cyrus yup, have been using flixzone for months myself :D

Thank you for watching.

bigtractorpower You're welcome.

+Chuck Stevenson thank you for watching.

Thank you for watching.

Spraying corn this tall, they shut the center section off in the front boom. With it raised all the way up it soaks the cab. Then there is a light boom mounted to the back that sprays what was shut off up front.

+l wilton yes different Varieties. It is planted with a 16 row planter. I think 8 boxes have one kind of seed and 8 boxes have another making 16 row stripes from two passes.

+Sebastian Warth thank you for watching.

+Karl427 I have some short clips of a crop dusting plane and of a helicopter on Big Tractor Power Instagram.

Me too. There's at least one bigger sprayer on the market with 2100 gallon tank and 177 ft boom; Agrifac Condor Endurance.

John Deere uses a Cummins 14.9 liter engine in the 9620 series tractors right now

kw900lkevin I didn't know that. I figured it would be more cost effective to put one the their engines in. I guess it goes to show how universal the Cummins application is.

PA Farms any piece of John Deere equipment that needs more horsepower than they can get out of the 13.5L they use a cummins engine. It doesn't make economic sense for John Deere to develop a larger engine for the few tractors and harvester that they sell that need that power.

I’ve been a factory trained field service Hagie technician for 6 years now. Our 2018 sts 14&16 machines are running deere 9.0L for 2019 we will be seeing deere 8.1L engines in our 10&12 machines.

43mackmobile bad experience?

That is very common for diesels. I would guess it is putting out close to 1,100 ft lb of torque or so at around 1,200-1,500 rpm.

+Pete_ Hine_Of_PA there was a Marmon the next town over from me a few years ago. I am not sure where it went too.

I first got to see a Marmon when I helped a rigger for a few weeks.. It was a Semi tractor, with a stretched frame to make a straight flat bed truck about 30 feet long. It was a tough truck and laid out nice inside and out. thanks for your videos...

I guess if you OWN the sprayer, don't mind the compaction, and don't mind running over some corn, the ground rig makes sense. I don't know which gives better coverage, air or ground. that might factor into the decision as well. I'll never own a 120 foot boom sprayer, so airplane is the easy choice here.

Jrbpa 57 I'm in your neck of the woods and it's fun to watch those guys fly. They're either half crazy or have balls the size of bowling balls to buzz under the power lines and pull up to miss the tree lines.

thats why i think helicopters are the best method. at least for ensuring complete coverage. i just dont like the chems they use. i would prefer something natural. guess ill have to plant my own crops.

+Jrbpa 57 farms use crop dusting planes and helicopters here in WKY. Some choose to use a sprayer like this Hagie.

airplanes and helicopters put on 2-5 gallons of spray and aren't as accurate. this sprayer is putting on 16 gallons of spray, and for effective fungus control at least 10 gallons of spray is necessary. crop dusters are pretty much a scam when it comes to fungicide application, then again, spraying tassled corn hoping to curtail a fungus infection is kinda pointless too, fungus infects the plant at much younger ages and should really be sprayed then

The boom moves up and down. The sprayer is fixed.

Or just shut both valves instead of forgetting.

+Bob La'Blah I would guess the tassels hit while running. Good way to hold it in place.

Yes there are some really big ones on the market.

well, that's not pollen, ( I'm guessing you know that, i just make the distinction for those that don't) that's tassle bits being blown around, but hagies have a air purge(which you prolbably also know) for their boom and pump. they also have air induction nozzles, adding air to the spray droplets reduces drift. i am speculating that he was purging the boom and was blowing the tassle bits out of the air induction ports in the nozzles, but thats a guess

I don't know of many people that use air inducted tips when applying fungicide. Large droplets don't provide the best coverage. When he took off, he didn't turn his solution pump back on, he just changed the display to a different screen. You can't use boom air purge without shutting off the solution pump.

Fabrizio our pull behind sprayer in the UK is big at 40meters and a 6000 ltrs tank

Jack Tapner And what sprayer is?

Fungicide has to be sprayed at tassel and full silk. Some of the additives in the spray can completely screw up the ears if you spray earlier than this. The product is only effective for a few weeks and you want it there when it needs it. All he has to do is line up the center of the sprayer with the center of the row. That's why he has a little white stick in the center of his field of view. He's probably using GPS to help him get back on the right rows when he turns around.

No just a fan of the brand.

Great vids -- Hearing "hagie" repeatedly reminded me of this vid (start at 2:12) v=Ck9nZyuegio -- that guys is scammer though. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Ck9nZyuegio.htmlm12s enjoy the laugh.

Bob Stubs I drive one and they are awesome. Would never go back to a rear boom. Yes you get chemical on the machine but I just put gloves on when I get out

+C B I looked at there website. It looks like they offer truck and pull type sprayers. Impressive. In this video I am talking about a self propelled sprayer for row crop work in standing corn. This claim comes from Hagies info on there website.

bigtractorpower ... So a row crop self propelled truck doesnt fit into a self propelled row crop machine? Hypocritical to say the least. Just Google up the world's largest sprayer. This video.is official click bait !!! 120ft boom is 45ft shorter than the sprayflex!!!

+Ryan Stevenson how tall do think the corn is? They run the tape measure in the video at 13 ft 6 inches. You can see from the cab view the tassels are hitting the window.

Ear Rape? What was wrong? I only see the sprayer working T 0:38.
