Pimp My Sprayer - Poor Mans Hagie Part 2!

[@geoffreymorris9853]

Raven 440s and cockroaches will be the only 2 things to survive a nuclear blast

😂😂😂😂

[@watomb]

That’s pretty smart how you leveraged equipment you already owned. Keeping the corn green really impacts yields

[@asquithmainlines699]

Google “ Adhesive cable tie mounts”. They work amazingly well for wiring jobs on a variety of surfaces. I love you have the ability to mesh the old with the new. To me that is what farming is all about. Anyone can buy something but it takes a real mind to design and fabricate something like you have done. Job well done!

[@alanmcgregor4909]

Some things was basic you could add, attach some flat belting to the underside to protect the underside of frame where corn hits.

[@albutterfield5965]

Great job of planning and use of existing parts.

[@6thGenFarmer]

Thank you!

[@matthewdavis9979]

Definitely ready to see them old boys at work! That is how I found your channel.

[@AndrewDuff2188]

adhesive zip tie mounts for the harness and cabling that you don't want to drill holes to mount.

[@6thGenFarmer]

Great idea! Thank you for the comment

[@thelunatick1993]

Should you put a wear shield in front of the plumbing to keep it protected

[@6thGenFarmer]

My brothers has it and if I come across one somewhere I will be for sure to pick it up!

[@scottmorrow5497]

Neat seeing old equipment still being used. Considering you started from scratch with the technology on the highboy you should have went with a Ag Leader system you could have had steering, rate control, mapping, autoswath, and agfiniti in one display.

[@6thGenFarmer]

I could’ve with Deere too, would’ve been pretty easy, but didn’t want to spend the extra money. We had an ag leader display in our cat tractor and nobody liked it

[@scottmorrow5497]

I'm slowly learning about Deere technology. How much would it have cost to use only one Deere monitor for rate control, mapping, autoswath, and sending the information to the cloud instead of the 2630, the raven 440, and the MTG. Sounds expensive when you are talking about thousands of dollars to add each subscription or whatever.

[@6thGenFarmer]

@@scottmorrow5497 I think all I would've needed to bypass the raven is a old John Deere rate controller which can probably be found for around a grand... I do not believe I would've needed a subscription, steering would've required an ATU which run $1800 new. However I didn't want to use the deere monitor as a rate controller because I want to be able to spray without the monitor in case we need it in another piece of equipment at the same time. Also, I do not want swath control because unlike most sprayers you turn the 6000's around in the first few rows of the headlands, so about 25ft of your boom is hanging over crop that has not been sprayed yet. As far as sending data to the cloud that is what the MTG does. That was $600 new but I take it from machine to machine depending on the season. The also do super in depth machine analytics on anything 30 series (8030 or 9030) or newer. Which I have thoroughly enjoyed analyzing in the off season. I can see which hybrids consumed to most fuel, total throughput for each variety in the combine, I can see a machines total work time, idle time, and road time in any date range I select. For example our combine was 72% overall efficient this past harvest including road time. Deere truly has the easiest programs when it comes to viewing machine and crop analytics IMO.

[@scottmorrow5497]

@@6thGenFarmer you lost me on not wanting the autoswath because of the way the sprayer turns, the sprayer is easily 25 feet long from front wheel to spray tip so you are already in row ten of the headland before you start your turn otherwise when the boom swings rearward you will have unsprayed crop I’m assuming a row or 2 to complete the 90 into the headland now the center of the sprayer is sitting on row 12. 60 foot boom won’t make it out of the headland, unless I misunderstood you. 25 feet of boom hanging into unsprayed crop would require you to be turning into the second row of headland and your booms would still be 20 feet into the field.

[@6thGenFarmer]

@@scottmorrow5497 yeah while spraying fungicide my outside wheel is either in row 1 or 2 while turning so we don’t run over any crops. I can spray at a max of 9 mph so it only take me a few feet to slow down to turning speeds. There is probably a couple of feet that do not get sprayed but it’s fungicide so we’re not super worried about it

[@organbuilder272]

Cover those loose wires with spiral-wrap to protect them from all sorts of trouble. - most important, abrasion and vibration. As for that bothersome big cable - there are self stick pads you can put up and then use tie wraps.

[@eliwagner4403]

Dude we just bought a 6000 hi-cycle it's got auto boom shut off and guidance in it really looking forward to it huge upgrade for us!

[@haydenhesp2860]

Great job just wondering how will the receiver know if you are going forward if it is backwards? Might be a silly question. We have a 6500 and I'm thinking of doing the same thing

[@6thGenFarmer]

There is a setting you can change in the monitor to show which direction the receiver is facing!

[@dalemayes3854]

Great job 👍

[@6thGenFarmer]

Thanks 👍

[@terrystephens1102]

A great job using available hardware, well done 😃👌👏👏👏

[@6thGenFarmer]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@farm7120]

that's awesome I just bought a 6600 it's a 1998 it has raven rate controller already what else would I need to plug into a 2630 display. mine is the 4 wheel model

[@6thGenFarmer]

Here is the harness link! www.agexpress.com/store/c8/cables-harnesses/p1845/john-deere-greenstar-26002630-display-serialnmea-harness/

[@6thGenFarmer]

I should be clear that not all raven monitors have the serial port so double check yours!

[@farm7120]

thank you

[@mmurphy2317]

Industrial strength velcro....for wiring harness?...

[@6thGenFarmer]

not a bad idea! Thank you

[@fazeobama8872]

now lets see some rowtrac tracks to it. it can probably work well because the size difference between these stock wheels and a chain sprocket isnt too different it would also raise it way high

[@8310t1]

What is the harness called that goes from the 440 the the 2630?

with the GPS will it keep you out of ditches?

[@6thGenFarmer]

HAHA! I will have to flag them all previous to me spraying to make sure they don't pop up on me ;)

[@zcole6612]

Since you saved 600,000 on a new Hagie . Does this mean more snowmobile trips ?

[@6thGenFarmer]

I wish it did!

[@outdoordude6940]

Now you need auto steer😂😂😂🤣🤣

[@6thGenFarmer]

Lol I wish!

[@SouthernFarmingTV]

Id have to put a cushion suspension on it.

[@6thGenFarmer]

A front suspension kit is the last thing I could possibly do to this sprayer. My brothers has it and it does make a huge difference but unless I find one cheap I don't want to put much more money into this sprayer. As much as I love them, its time will eventually come

[@carsonsteinhauer4696]

Cool system

[@TriDaddy]

Wouldn't you have to rotate your chair 180 degrees and run it in reverse to be a Hagie? Nice job!

[@anth956]

Good video man. How’s pop’s doing these cold days?

I can't even imagine how much better your gonna help your farm be! Keep on keepin on

[@Jaguar79gt]

it doesn't always have to be the most expensive technology to do a job 😄👍 which distance do you have between the corn rows? here in germany the farmers mostly use 75cm.

[@adamfpv8294]

30” (76.2cm) is standard for corn

[@6thGenFarmer]

Yup, as @Adam FPV stated 30" is pretty standard for corn and that is what we run. Some run 22" or 20" corn as well. Our beans we run narrower at 15"

[@billupstateny9151]

Vacation videos are not very popular, farm/equipment episodes preferred.🙈🚜🇺🇸🗽🍶

[@6thGenFarmer]

Some like them and some don't. I love snowmobiling arguably more than farming and I post the videos for my own enjoyment so views are not ever really a concern on them. I see your comments nearly every week, and I honestly appreciate you always watching my videos and commenting. It helps more than you would think!
