[@RobertWelkerFarmerBob]

Thank you 👍

[@planofootball09]

Might work better with the springs flipped around to cushion it. It would prevent snapping the spring or bending the spray arms if it catches a rock or something else

[@augustreil]

I was wondering the same ? If the wheel falls into a hole, that's trouble.

[@matthewhburch6198]

Agreed. If those wheels hit a hole wrong with the springs turned that way, they could snap off. Spring steel is tough enough that hitting a hole wrong might even slam up against the boom and damage it.

[@lawr46]

Yes, that wheel should trail the boom.

[@jimblakesley6211]

[@Galerak1]

12:40 Wouldn't it be better having those sprung bogey wheels trailing rather than leading? I'm thinking it would roll over lumps and bumps better that way. The way they are now they could catch, dig in and end up twisting the boom. Or am I over-thinking this?

[@planofootball09]

I said the same thing. I'd hate to have them damage their rig

[@RoseUnseen]

I mean they been running. Without wheels , any wheels would be an improvement

[@agate_jcg]

100% agree. Maybe they wanted to keep the wheels out of the spray, but this looks like a disaster waiting to happen.

[@jamesthomas3749]

I thought the same thing, but they arent expecting it to ride on it for a long distance and it's only suppose to skip, so it might be fine.

[@andrewbelviy2468]

ok so this might be a weird request but can you like over time attempt to get as many state flags as you can and put them all over your farm? just something to do. would be cool to see all tractors have multiple different flags on them. anyways love the vids. keep on farming 💪🏼

[@RobertWelkerFarmerBob]

Interesting idea. Do have a couple of flags sent to us.

[@mcottingham]

Great work guys! With planting started, Wednesday's video is gonna be awesome! Can't wait!

[@augustreil]

Shouldn't those wheels on the sprayer be dragged and not pushed as they touch the ground ? Just curious.

[@Mike-qv3pz]

I agree that it would be probably better, but there has to be a reason why they did it. Maybe the boom couldn't fold if they where dragging. Or the nozzles would spray on the tire and it would leave a unsprayed area where the wheels are?

[@augustreil]

@@Mike-qv3pz, Great points grasshopper !

5$ that extra wheels wont make the first 100 rougher acres... for a working sping its way better to be dragged not pushed. If that wheel hits a rock a washout anything bigger 1/3 its own diameter with your spraying speeds It will shoot your boom to the sky or a heck off a beating into the boom to the rear. Probably both.

[@69dblcab]

I did not catch that it was not pointed in a trailing direction. Great point.

I've commented on this too, before seeing your comment that is. I totally agree, they should be trailing, not leading.

[@leebob86]

@Central Iowa Farmer, you already said that, on one of his videos. What is it with you corn cobbers? It's the truth. Does he work? Maybe you don't get it. Maybe you two are birds of a feather. Is that it? You to had a completely paid off farm handed to you?

[@leebob86]

@Central Iowa Farmer, let's see. What is your farming contribution? You produce feed corn for cattle, which creates the unhealthy fat, the yellow fat. Bovine (sorry for the use of the big word) would never eat corn naturally. Oh, you might sell it for ethanol, which when combined with gasoline doesn't deliver the same power as pure gasoline, thus creating a demand for more foreign oil. Maybe your corn is used to manufacture high fructose corn syrup, which is extremely unhealthy. Ignorant? Guess not. So, better get to feeding your fat hogs, another unhealthy, natural resource consuming crop. But hey you keep up the good work!!!

[@leebob86]

@Central Iowa Farmer, not attacking, just stating fact. I don't watch him, he doesn't have any charisma.
