Assessing The Applicator Project

Not quite as simple as it appears on the surface once you start looking at it.

[@russfarms]

I tell you what you’re the only farm KZbinr that I sit and watch every video you make and watch it all the way through it doesn’t matter if your in the shop or out in the field doing work or even sitting and just talking about tractors I love your videos and keep up the good work

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

Thanks

[@dougbarber4209]

I agree 100%

[@Ixlthim74]

Totally 100 percent agree!

[@lawrencekiel-sr2772]

I'm with everyone on watching every video.👌

[@canvids1]

I so enjoy watching you with the old equipment and bringing some back to life and fixing others to work for you (Thank you)

[@johnkissack5295]

A very good video. I look forward for your videos all week they are so interesting and really enjoy listening to your plans and what your doing. I have quit all the other farmer utube just they were so boring. Keep up the good work!

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

I do what I can.

[@jonathancrissinger2301]

Fab projects can sometimes take a little time to plan out. Anyone who fabs much knows about that. Done with thinking ahead, rather than rushing through it always pays off for sure. I'm sure it is going to be awesome when you are finished. I like to fab stuff, so this is going to be a fun project watch as it comes together.

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

It’s going to be an evolving project.

[@bl688]

Your gonna love the difference this is gonna make on your corn yield!

[@adamm4969]

I think the first video I watched was way back when the 525 broke the final drive, tried to catch every one since then, really appreciate the time you take to make them, stay safe and keep up the great content!

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

Thanks.

[@jamesbreault5762]

Love watching these types of videos Ethan👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@jacemason9907]

That tank would have made one hell of a smoker

[@roadhogg1418]

Liquid applicator is a much better bet than NH3 Farm Boy. Good idea!

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

For sure.

[@johnbourlier411]

Good. Old iron working again.

[@scottmichaels2538]

I have side dressed anhydrous with one of those on many acres, ours had a PTO drive pump on it.

[@mathiggins4264]

Looking good buddy be safe out there your buddy from Nebraska

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

Thanks.

[@Nick-tz2vl]

One cylinder on each wing, with a linkage almost like an excavator bucket to make it fold more over center for more narrow transport. Either way, you'll figure out how you want to do it and it will turn out nicely. I agree with sandblasting it. Makes it much easier and enjoyable to weld on. What color would you paint it?

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

Blue and white like a DMI.

[@michaelsheeder148]

It sounds like sandblasting the frame will make it a whole lot easier later, It looks like you will have quite a bit of time fabricating to set up the way it needs to go. Good luck 🤞 Thanks Michael

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

It will be quite a project.

[@kristiankristiansen133]

Always thinking bbq these days. Guess I’m waiting for spring/summer. That tank would have made for a nice smoker for someone🤓

[@rustyrelicsfarm2406]

If that tank is in good shape it could be used as a propane tank for a grain dryer. My Grandpa did that when he stopped using anhydrous ammonia.

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

Maybe 40 years ago. Today there isn’t a single LP supplier that is going to certify and fill a used Anhydrous tank for liability reasons alone…

[@hacc220able]

Thanks for sharing

[@bryanginder5903]

That one part of the frame you thought was added on to might of had a hinge on their to fold up and the outside one back, that's how ours originally was. The outside shank folded back then the next one folded up

[@dennislamers986]

I was thinking if you need to the wheel spacing, maybe take and use the other axel. Cutting the straps looked more climatic that cutting the tank up.

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

It won’t be bad at all.

[@dknust9]

We had our local propane company convert our old anhydrous tank to propane and use it for our propane for the corn dryer.

[@dknust9]

Don’t think it can be converted anymore. Lol.

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

Not by any reputable supplier.

[@brandonkarpel6521]

Might be easier to use wing hinge on scrap bar? Shanks on wings could fold to the rear. Would be manual fold and not need hydraulics. Will this be 7 or 9 row to follow planter? Guys use 11 shanks following 12 row planters.

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

I don’t want them to fold back.

[@badencraig7778]

What is wrong with the 2255?

[@aidenmagnuson2609]

A unique use for the tank would be a very large smoker

[@russfarms]

That’s a smart idea good one

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

I’m not putting food anywhere near something that carried anhydrous it’s entire life.

[@craighinshaw2437]

Would also make a large wood heater for a pole barn, just an ideal

[@bryanginder5903]

We bought them curled shanks from Deere up until o I'd say some where in the early 2000s until we quit putting anhidrosis on

[@craighinshaw2437]

Tank would make a great bbq or smoker

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

Not after carrying anhydrous it’s entire life.

[@orenminton405]

People around where I live in Kentucky they take any tank like that and they make smoker's out of them

[@masongillespie4360]

Those old tanks make great used oil storage.

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

Ours goes away in 55 gallon drums.

[@chrisandert3174]

If you make the wings fold backwards you won’t need to build a hyd lift for them, that’s how most applicators are that u rent. Good luck with project.

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

I don’t want them to fold backward.

[@standudek1372]

Outdoor wood boiler, seen anhydrous or propane tanks used for internal tank.. but cutting wood sucks

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

Yea

[@randallvos]

Anhydrous won't burn, but it will tell you if you have asthma. Had an incident at my old high school many moons ago, local Co-op had just filled the anhydrous tanks, and the relief valves opened. Was a marching band competition at the high school, and our football field was the low point to where all the anhydrous went. Found out who had asthma that day...........

[@scottmichaels2538]

U obviously have never been around anhydrous lmao it will freeze burn the shit outta you friend lol it attacks any moisture pores like your eyes, mouth, sweat glands it's really nasty shit

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

He meant not burn as I’m not flammable Scott. Don’t be a dick.

[@williamkuhlman3845]

you have good content were are you on redoing you white 2-150 and the other oliver in your yard?

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

The same spot I was when I parked them.

[@Thewilsonfarm]

I'm very interested in how you do this. I just bought one last summer and want to switch it to 28 also.

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

It’s gonna be a slow process

[@steveschweiger6569]

Is it possible to move the tires to the inside of the bracket? May save you from cutting the supports.

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

The spindles are welded in so no.

[@steveschweiger6569]

That’s unfortunate. Looking forward to the finished project.

[@earldoubet8062]

Scrap cash to refill the oxygen n gas you used . I've cut up alot of stuff when I was a kid for pocket money .

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

It was a nice little lump of cash. Scrap is apparently up a little bit.

[@realmongo7565]

Wow was that old tank seriously built!

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

The bigger they are the thicker they get. They have to be impact rated on top of pressure rated.

[@scottmichaels2538]

Anhydrous is not flammable but like u say it will blow up under increased pressure

[@rustyrelicsfarm2406]

I'll stick with manure.

[@Heimerviewfarm]

​@@rustyrelicsfarm2406 there's a big difference from manure to anhydrous.

[@perrysmith6872]

I would of keep the tank 2 of them welded together would make a culvert that would last for yrs .

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

That’s only useful if you have a second tank and are in need of a culvert that large.

[@kw900lkevin]

The tank could have been a good grill / smoker project

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

Made good scrap weight.

[@dehavenfamilyfarm]

Too bad that frame was so cobbled together- there would have been a nice pile of steel. Weather should be warming up soon!!

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

We could use it.

[@Dick_Shinn]

Cylinder each wing…….

[@terryhawkins4295]

One small wif of anhydrous amoia is enough, that stuff is nasty!!

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

If I never have to deal with it in my lifetime it won’t hurt my feelings any.

[@robertcheatham2891]

Why not use your mounted bar and pull a wagon

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

Because toolbars and wagons suck.
