[@seththomas9105]

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!

[@diggrduggr1]

Giant Pliers just doesn't do the tool justice, how about The Jaws of Fight

[@keepitsimpleideaguy8676]

I have a pair of those things. I use them for many tough jobs. And when it just don’t come off, you can crush the whole project with them one bite at a time. Very satisfying

[@elonmust7470]

They're small when you consider what they're for, pipes & pipe fittings.

[@Hellsong89]

Knipex pliers are biggest workhorse of my tool equipment beside the box cutter and tiny flathead screw driver that has its corners rounded from use. Box cutter cleans surfaces level and cuts, pliers hold and open pretty much anything and screw driver is perfect tool to get o rings etc out and position things, plus cleaning hard to read areas. Though i do mostly small and microscopic stuff.

[@drummer0864]

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.

[@garyburgmylifeandtimes6354]

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 😉😁

[@alan6832]

Yes, starting sooner is good advice. As for the sprayer, I guess for next year, try to recalculate everything for 2 mph instead of 4. Actually, that seemed faster than 4 to me so confirm that it isn't. That may apply to harvesting too. Plan to do it real slow until you get enough practice to get bored, then speed it up towards normal. Also, fix the steering so it draws less attention away from all the other management tasks. Perhaps farm work should have been the priority instead of that race.

[@bradleymaynard4119]

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.

[@littlewingpsc27]

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.

[@phil_townes]

YES! Absolutely needs a corn cob on the side! Jesse, can you sort us out please?

[@toddcrosley8099]

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

[@Hellsong89]

Old equipment is the best, since its most simple. Try storing modern equipment into storage barn that collases on them for 40 years and try get them started.. it will never happen since too much fancy electronics to fail, rubber and plastic parts to degrade, high tolerance nozzles to clog up and seize up etc.

[@omphaloskeptic4989]

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

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.
