Row Cropping With A 4 Wheel Drive Is A Bit Different

Definitely a learning curve to running this setup.

[@dennislamers986]

Ethan I like the fact you a true old school farmer that uses old Oliver equipment . I think that's damn cool. Keep up the good work and great camera shots.

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

Thanks.

[@curtisowens4588]

I don’t care what people say I deal with people on a one on one basis and I think you are a cool dude. Farmers make the world turn.

[@marcbeebe]

I just keep getting more and more respect for you with every video. You really know what you're doing and aren't afraid to admit when you make a mistake. Unlike some other (most?) KZbinrs.

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

I have nothing to hide.

[@samiovesen3887]

I was always told when I as a young fella that if you haven't got something nice to say don't say it. Your corn is looking good. Keep doing what you are doing and don't worry about what everyone else's it doing or saying.

[@deanhoman1958]

Ethan, you have interesting and informative content. Keep up the good work!

[@robertburey4704]

I really enjoy your content and I'm glad ypu are a bigger man than those others

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

I’m just here to do my own thing in my own corner of the internet. I leave everyone else alone but apparently nobody can return the favor.

[@mikebaker1576]

Hey Ethan, my first time commenting, been watching since i ran across a video of you walking at a very cold auction, been a fan ever since. Really have a lot of respect on how your growing your farm and keep building equipment and making things work. I really enjoy watching your equipment and learning bout the history of oliver. I grew up on red and still farm with them today. every time i see something oliver, or white i think bout you...... Keep doing it like you do!

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

Right or wrong I do what I can with what I have.

[@michaelsheeder148]

Ethan, looks like that setup works overall really great 👍. I remember when I was a kid like you was saying dad would cultivate the corn as high as the tractor and it bend over and go right back up and you never even know it. Thanks Michael

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

Cultivating is fun for a day. Glad I we don’t have to go over everything anymore.

[@acdiesel7439]

Very nice setup. The 4-150 does pretty good with that. Yeah, that's one job i haven’t done yet in my life is cultivate or applicate between the row crops. I'd be nerve-wracked. Looking forward for more.

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

It’s one of them things that the first day sucks then it’s fine after that.

[@chrisrickets9873]

So now that you have some acres of use on the side dress bar and trailer. I’m looking forward to the video making adjustments to it and see how they do and what design changes are to come, this is a neat tool and well thought out and built.

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

There has already been some brain storming on some major overhauls.

[@Husker3435]

The 150 looks like she belongs with the applicator👌🏻you’re doing the right thing by taking the high road with the other channel. Keep em comin Ethan 🇺🇸

[@stevefriedlander8091]

Hang in there buddy you are doing a great great job at what you do. Still think it’s the best overall channel on you tube.

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

Thanks.

I really enjoy watching your channel.

Thanks

[@jrgenthomsen3841]

Thank you for sharing your great work looking good

[@williamschablowsky5764]

With this setup, you need a hitch on the field tank to coned the nurse tank. So you can just pull the whole thing home. Since you have the horse power 😊

[@terrellfarms1]

It was poison ivy not poison oak. Ivy can form a vine and will grow on tree trunks and likes a site with some moisture. Poison Oak likes dry sites and grows mainly in small clumps on the ground. Both have three leaves but oak is more variegated but sometimes they look just alike by the leaves and you have to identify them by where they are growing. I am HIGHLY allergic to them. As a kid i had it over 80% of my body (picking up sawdust left by a chainsaw after my father cut up a dead pine tree covered in vines during the winter). I still have scars in spots from where my skin split from swelling. I also have a degree in forestry. First three species they teach you to identify in dendrology class is Poison Ivy, Oak and Sumac. You won't believe how many students still fail to identify it and examine the leaves by hand or even taste it.

[@stephenheyes4324]

Getting the job done nicely with your 4-150

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

Thanks.

[@Adam_Poirier]

That's a cool set up you've got there man

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

I’m happy with it for the first attempt.

[@roadhogg1418]

You got some good lookin corn there Farm Boy

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

I’m impressed with it.

[@scottm-rw1og]

I agree with you on the beans

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

Pain in the butt is what they are.

[@scottmichaels2538]

I worked for a big farmer for a couple years & he had a 2+2 3788 & cultivating with that tractor & a John deere 8 row was the most lumbering thing to get used too lol

[@dennisneel9788]

Your awesome and amazing man

[@DonWelter]

Looks like the 4-150 boogies right along thru the mud. Your corn is about like ours...won't be long and it'll get too tall to go into without breaking it over. Last year our supplier dribbled 28 on our pre-tassel corn with a Hagie high-clear...talk about non-stop growth !!! Hate to see much corn run-down, but it's a fact-of-life on the turn rows.

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

I’m fortunate. There are a lot of guys around here that fell to far behind the early planted stuff already.

[@oliversorensen5178]

Nice job again

[@MostlyInteresting]

This reminds me of cultivating tobacco back in the day.

[@MostlyInteresting]

There's a video on here somewhere that has a biologist telling how to deal with poison oak. He basically said treat it like wherever it touched is covered in Grease can you use a strong soap like dawn to get the oils off that carry the nasty irritating chemicals.

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

The truck is being able to get the oil off fast enough.

[@MostlyInteresting]

@@Oliver66FarmBoy I am not super sensitive to it so I can get by with making sure I wash my extremities very well when I'm home for the rest of the day.

[@travisscherrer3925]

I’ve been here from the beginning met ya at rantool and asked if the white was going to run corn enjoy watching ya keep up the good work buddy

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

Thanks.

[@andrew81au]

I did wonder if you'd just point the nose down the row and keep it straight. One thing I did like about the 4-180 we used to have you'd point it at a fence post on the other side and it would head straight towards it. The Lincoln hood ornament is good for lining up fence posts and the like. Good work Ethan.

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

The 150s big problem is you really notice how bad the steering bushings are getting when you try to follow rows.

[@brianpecak9931]

Smart Man ! Stay away from the Ivy's !

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

For sure.

[@bryanginder5903]

Off topic but a local consignment sale had a White 8650 pull type combine with a pickup head on it, the combine was in great shape looked like it was hardly used at all

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

Kind of an odd duck.

[@bryanginder5903]

@@Oliver66FarmBoy yeah I can't say I've seen one before. You see some older Deere pull types around here once in awhile but that's about it. nw Wi.

[@Nick-tz2vl]

Old timer told me one time for poison ivy to break it open and spray ether or carb cleaner on it. Never tried it lol

[@standudek1372]

Lesson learned on poison oak. .

I get the shit of the wind blows the wrong. I wish I was like dad. He can roll in the stuff and not get it.

[@oliverknapp3104]

Did white/oliver make any high crop models

[@TheMuskokaman]

Honestly, I'm surprised you didn't mash more corn down than you did!

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

Can still do better.

[@markpigman209]

Yeah this yr is great crop yield , then this fall , prices will crash, what do you think

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

It’s already crashing.

[@Ghettocowboy33]

Hell yeah!

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

Thanks

[@PAYNEKILLER..]

I didn't know you could run over corn that tall and it would survive, I'm just a dumb dirt digger so I wouldn't know anyway haha

[@chrisduggins3435]

Some years ago my dentist who was allergic to poison ivy told me use rubbing alcohol on poison ivy as soon as possible after contact. I now do this and it works well for me, I can’t say if it would help you with poison oak though. But you would probably have not much to lose to try it. I use 91 % rubbing alcohol and if you dry it pat it dry don’t rub

[@JeffRankin277]

I'm glad I'm not allergic to poison ivy

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

Right or wrong grandad always used to use gasoline. Lol

[@chrisduggins3435]

@@Oliver66FarmBoyone thing I have realized about the rubbing alcohol is it’s derived from wood plant family and poison ivy is too, so it somewhat makes sense that the wood derived alcohol would help desolve the toxin in the sap

Need to set your rear view mirror where you can peek up at it to make sure all the balls are floating like you said though just keep it in the middle and drag ass

[@PaulHigginbothamSr]

I hate to see rows knocked down in your direction of motion. When knocking it down turning at the end isn't so bad. This corn at the 3/4 video mark looks water stressed.

[@MikeDensmore-c5l]

Why not place the feed tank on the tractor front

[@timmieclark9976]

Or mount it behind the cab on a bracket. Then it stays strait with the tool bar. Then you could tow the nurse tank to and from the field.

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

Front frame won’t hold the weight.
