Building the WORLDS BEST self propelled sprayer from a Massey Ferguson 1805!

Today I start building my self propelled 4WD Massey Ferguson sprayer from my 1805.

[@dirtyeric]

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.

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

Thank you! I really appreciate that 😉

[@hanumon22]

I second that!

[@Slane583]

Don't forget Fluffy, she adds 10+ internets to each video she's in. Even if she doesn't approve of all of JT's shenanigans. :)

[@dannylyons5899]

It simply amazes me how you can turn a pile of crap into a useful piece of equipment. Keep up the awesome videos of your masterpieces.

[@JASONBUSH-ir2hj]

Your home made sprayer will work like a charm after seeing what you've done already with the stuff you have

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

I sure hope so!

[@birddoggirl]

20 years ago lots of people in my area were turning their old four wheel drive tractors into high clearance sprayers. Worked real well.

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

Right on

[@michaelgrant4825]

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!

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

Thanks! I have no idea how I’d have conquered that without the forklift!

[@vincegross7617]

I,m amazed at what you have achieved bringing back to life dead old farm equipment and making it useful again ,Totally Awesome

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

Right on. Thanks!

[@villainjohnnoel8075]

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.

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

Thanks! I keep it real out here 😉

[@arvbergstedt3303]

Funny guy. Cat doing a cat scan

[@No1Bigbear]

I think you singlehandedly have brought back the necessity is the mother of invention skill that the last 40 yrs has tried to kill off...😊 thank you!

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

Right on! Appreciate that!

[@Papermaker-fl4bh]

Necessity is the mother of invention. Job well done JT 👏

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

Bingo!

[@Farmer1277]

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.

[@RayScrafield]

Well done Youngster. I can't wait to see it in use.

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

Thanks!

[@GeneMusall]

Hi JT. You remind me of my dad. He was always coming up with solutions like your sprayer. And that definitely looks first rate. Utilizing your assets to the max.

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

Right on!

[@ronzezulka6646]

Joe,,dude,,seriously?? You are the most creative, lunatic, inspired guys on KZbin. Nothing is out of reach. Your brain is amazing.

Great video and great idea for the sprayer. Love how you make things work !! Enjoyed watching. 👍🏼👍🏼

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

Thanks!

[@ryanduren2739]

Love it!!! Thinking outside the box! That will Work!! Kick Ass!!

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

Right on! Thanks!

[@karlfischer1011]

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 😊

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

Right on! I appreciate it!

[@jerrykeck2935]

That is Awesome, great job🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

Thanks!

[@karlnelson6593]

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.

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

Right on! Thanks!

[@holliemills]

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

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

Right on!

[@larryherriman4843]

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!

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

Thanks! I really appreciate that!

[@waynemclachlan6480]

Think you should give the tank a coat of white paint...would set it off really nicely, nice work JT 👍

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

Not a bad idea

[@Rob-zx8lm]

The first V8 powered articulated sprayer, ever! Well done

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

Thanks!

[@strong40]

Definitely not the first. There is one video of a steiger wildcat with a tank on the back and large booms and I doubt that was the first either

[@declanoshaughnessy7733]

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 👍👍🖐️🖐️

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

Thank you very much!

[@ardtessa]

Spray and pray JT ! You are a true farmer with the proper "make do and mend" attitude. regards, Ard

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

Thanks!

[@dmindi1773]

That is definetly the coolest sprayer! I also cant beleive how well that little old red/yellow tractor starts and runs!

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

Right?!

[@MichaelBradley-j6z]

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

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

Thanks! I appreciate that

[@thomasr.miller5553]

😁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

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

I did move it back 2”. Clears great now

[@darylwilson6793]

This is exactly why your channel is so good!! Great idea! cant wait to see more of it.

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

Thank you so much!

[@MichaelBowen-mk6cg]

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,!!!

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

Right on! Thanks!

[@LeslieOtwell]

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!

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

Right on!

[@richardr8928]

Fantastic job JT. It looks every bit the part! It's just works! Well done again JT.

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

Thank you very much!

[@billwebb7496]

Yes sir awesome idea lots of visibility and if happens to be a little damp just giver some more throttle

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

Right on!

[@h20base]

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

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

Thanks!

[@davidwittmer8806]

JT my friend that is ingenuity at its finest. Can’t wait to see the finished product and in action! 👍

That’s a beautiful setup mate 👌you should be very proud of yourself 👍cheers from down under 🇦🇺

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

Thank you!

[@LynnKorte-ve4qf]

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

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

Right on, I’ve been making some plans for that very thing!

[@allanhartle344]

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

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

Right on. That was my plan 😉

[@brockmogg3515]

So happy for you that’s going to work great👍👍. Glad to see you keep the old Massey going

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

Thanks 👍

[@andywilkinson3792]

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

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

Right on! Thanks Andy!

[@trucker447]

Great job and ingenuity JT!!! Look like that unit will geterdun for a long time for you.

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

I hope so!

[@paulwhiffen4787]

Absolute bad ass idea I've seen pictures of a Massey 1505 converted to a slurry tanker over here in the UK but your set up looks less complicated and you could also use the tractor on other tasks if you wanted to great job love it .

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

Right! That was my plan, make it useable, but make it quickly detachable

[@jpbeaubien2773]

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

[@JohnDeehr-cc7mh]

Great stuff JT, 👀looking good from Leonard 🤠

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

Thanks 👍

[@660r2003]

for sure the best massey sprayer ive ever seen! very cool idea looks like it should work! I assume the tank will just stay on year round even if u still use it for field work?

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

Most likely. I have make it easily removable just in case

[@660r2003]

[@northdakotaham1752]

Quite a project there JT! That is one heavy duty sprayer you got there! I am in about the same situation you were in with spraying equipment. So have been contracting my spraying out for about ten years now. With all the rising costs...have been looking at getting back to spraying again.

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

Right on!

[@GaryYff]

That is some fantastic engineering right there. You need yourself a torch for many of your projects. A torch will outperform any cutoff wheel or saws of any kind. Anyway another cool video.

[@zendoargos4988]

That's gonna be a really nice upgrade over the pull behind unit. It is also a really good use of an "extra" articulated four wheel drive tractor. Given the number of acres that you farm and your assortment of tractors you can almost have 1 tractor dedicated to each operation that you need to do and a spray rig like that is a very good thing to have. The only issue I see is getting the product that you're applying into the tank with it sitting that high on the back of the tractor, but that's something that can easily be dealt with for no more acres than you're dealing with. It might be an issue for 2,000 acres, but not 150.

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

Right on. I’ll be leading it at home, so the step ladder won’t be far away 😉

[@ericmccabe799]

Great innovation. Was noticing that you can loosen up the tank straps and move your tank back to get a little more clearance from your fuel tank. Keep up your videos.

Hi JT, great video, and nice editing on the 1805, so .... I saw 2 modifications on MF 1200 articulated, the 1200 was a small articulated tractor with 110 horsepower engine (6354 engine), 2000 liter tank at the rear and ramps at the front of the tractor, hydraulic folding of the ramps on the sides of the tractor , the two 1200s were equipped with 90 feet of ramps, here if that can help you for a future transformation

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

I would, but it has pedals. One for forward and one for reverse. That lever was the best option I could fathom lol
