Weed killing . ETR S2 E3

I’m a fan of the propane burner, kills the vegetation and the seeds above the surface instantly, leaves the roots in ground to decay and help with drainage

[@PlanetMojo]

The mix rate for that glyphosate is between 2 1/2 to 5 ounces per gallon. You mixed it at about triple the highest rate by adding 2 1/2 gallons to 12 1/2 gallons of water. Next time try 14 gallons of water and two quarts of glyphosate, and use a boom sprayer for quick, even coverage. For the stumps, use Tordon on a fresh cut or the trees will come right back.

[@Ryanstumpie1]

Especially for a first dosage, a heavy dosage to kill it off won’t hurt, then every so often it doesn’t hurt to go behind and hit it again. It’s hard to believe this ROW has cleaned up so much and so well! Amazing progress!

Dog was fine but thinking about my nieces and nephew I tell my bro I'll take care of it. Spray it,nothing happens. Dig at it and after letting the swarming die down I douse it with some torch fuel and set it ablaze. It seemed to work and we went out for a bit come back and they're obviously still active. Run back to the garage, grab a shovel and with a couple of attempts get the main chamber exposed and return to the garage, found a super sized drink cup in the trash and filled it with gasoline and dumped the contents over the nest, lit a rolled up scrap of paper and in my best 80s action hero tossed the burning paper towards the nest where it went up with a very satisfying WOOOMPH.

[@thomaspinnick5796]

My brother suggested the RM43 to me at TSC. I was not convinced that it was what I wanted but I purchased it. I mixed it 6oz/gal and sprayed 2 gallons on crushed stone drive and concrete pavers. It took 2 weeks to see results and since then zero regrowth.

[@garykolo8650]

Use Dawn dish soap as a wetting agent in that sprayer, It works almost as good as Class A Firefighting Foam, Used it many times over the years.

[@dannymccarty6680]

ABSOLUTELY! Readily available, effective, relatively cheap. Use 1/2oz (15ml) Dawn per gallon glyphosate spray solution. Gallon of Dawn (128oz) ~$16 to make 256 gal of spray, or less than 7 cents per gallon. Use any excess to wash dishes.

[@PlanetMojo]

The green you see is things you missed. At the concentration you were spraying you would have killed anything it touched. If you are going to continue to hand spray, consider using a marking dye so you can see where you have sprayed. You can do a touch-up run with 10 oz. of gly in a two gallon sprayer. A little spritz on any remaining green will kill it.

[@TheUserid82]

The channel "The Kelley's Country Life" just showed off a sprayer he built from stripping parts off another sprayer. It is built on a 55 gallon barrel with a 5gpm pump and two sprayers that give it a 30-40 foot spray without booms so would be perfect for putting on a cart and running it down the rails. A IBC tote to mount on the truck so you can refill. The setup also has a wand for spot controlling but that is just valved in so can turn off the sprayers and turn on the wand with valves. You should also look at what is needed for a portable shower as you can pack it in most cars/trucks. A small electric pump hooked to a sprayer handle and a pvc pipe frame to hold up a tarp for privacy and to avoid a indecent exposure charge. As you get into cooler months you can run the water into camp shower to get hot water. One of those ziplock style storage bags to keep a full set of clothes along with a towel and the portable shower would let you clean up anywhere and be in a fresh set of clothes quickly in case of a spill or just a very dirty job.

We use Roundup in the spring on the 3 spurs we have in our plant, each is about a 1/4 mile. We have a small spray rig that goes on the back of our Kubota. I'm in a desert area and you're where you actually get more than 5" of rain a year, so the amount of vegetation we fight versus what you're fighting is night and day. I don't know if NiBor or any other Borate/Boron products are legal there, but they do provide several years of 'no vegetation' once put down and incorporated in the soil by the rains. Love the video and the great progress...

[@L_SGarage]

Use 2-4D and roundup. Plus instead of sitting on the back, take PVC and set them the width you’d like with holes and adapt it to your pump. That’s what we did on our Speeder Railroad in NC. We have 14 miles to maintain.

[@shooter575]

Trick I learned from a buddy that ran a ag spraying operation in NW Ohio is to use dish soap as a wetting agent and to add a cup or so of diesel per 2 gallon batch I mixed up.

[@wmhoward2249]

This is done as a wetting agent and to prevent spray drift, they make a oil that is added to the tank, I hope your buddy doesn't get caught doing that with diesel.

[@MusicByWinston]

I know this is too late in the game, but if you use those products, ADD DISH SOAP to the mixture. That will break down the surface tension of the water and cause it to stick to the plants better. We used to do that on the farm killing weeds in the research plots. Works very well.

[@leshemingway3352]

Great video looks like you really are starting to make progress. Thank you for the video

[@wmhoward2249]

I'm not sure what was the chemical make up of your first, mix but your second was a generic round-up. You might have a little better job, it you would have added some 2-4-D. The stuff used on the RR you can't buy over the counter. Look for a brush killer type of mix. Round-up is a contact killer, mostly for grassy plants, look for that brush killer, some have 2-4-D added to them. Second get a bigger tank 100 or 125 gals, third ditch the wand, build a spray bar, reach out there 3 feet or more, turn around and do the other side on the return. This equipment that you will used at least once a year or more.

[@jeanswancutt2596]

when you cut the trees, treat the stump immediately with a product called tordon RTU, otherwise the tree will come back as a bush.

[@steamdaysstoker]

On the very short line I used to be associated with we had a spray bar attached to the cart. The spray nozzles in the bar were set for an overlapping pattern to cover inside and for a distance outside the rail. Dish washing liquid makes a good wetting agent. One thing that is a certainty is that weeds will keep coming back.

[@markgawrych5579]

The 5 gallons in the white jugs you got is the best bang for your buck works great when mixed and applied properly been using it for years

[@chriscampbell2327]

Next time to make it easier and faster it get a wide 2 x 4 and attach tubing and spray nozzles the mount it to the cart. This way you will a more even coverage and you do not have to stop.

[@earlschmitt884]

In addition to the right mixture, the sprayer setting must also be adjusted to get enough of the product out onto the weeds and whatever other vegetation that you want to kill. Over spraying gets the job done, but is way too costly. Under spraying is useless. Some railroads use to use diesel fuel to kill the weeds.

[@PRRGG1]

Brian, I have experience in grasses and weeds growing in communication tower guy wire anchor cages. I used a similar set up of sprayer in my truck bed. Year #1: I did an early spring spray just as green was starting to show. I followed up in late summer with a second spray. Following year, I only needed the early spring spraying and used less product. Early spring is when the stuff spreads so don't be surprised when all those weeds are back next year.

[@pegbars]

When you said weed killing, I expected you to show up with a couple of 55-gallon drums of chemicals... not a half-gallon jug! This is railroading, not home gardening! You have to do things on an industrial scale. Rent a machine and spray continuously off one side of your hi-rail to the end of the line. Then reverse, come back and spray the other side. One more trip down the line to spray between the rails. Just a little spritz here and there while walking the car down the tracks isn't going to do much.

[@RegWhelan]

Hi, A big mistake a lot of users of glyphosate Is that they assume that more is better. Glyphosate is carried to the roots and the rest of the plant within the plant's own distribution system. When it is added at high concentration rates it rapidly destroys the contact area. That prevents the proper distribution to the non contacted area of the plants. I don't remember for sure but I think It was mixed at about 4ml Roundup concentrate to 1 litre of water lightly sprayed over the weeds etc. Using flood jets and not misting jets were used so the wind didn't blow it everywhere. Reg.

Surfactant does not make the chemical penetrate the leaf. It just makes it stay on the leaf longer and it’s absorbed

[@williambryant5946]

If you'd soaked everything where it made the ground wet it would probably last a year but just getting the weeds wet when you sprayed, I don't think it will last a year. When the railroad applies the weed killer they drench everything and it soakes into the top layer of dirt. That's why it last a year for them. The large quantity of product applied is what makes it work. Of course they have tank cars full of the weed killer and the capital to fill them up. I think you're gonna have a long battle with the brush and weeds before you're finished. Then you'll still have to maintain it every year. Good video. Stay well. -Wil 👍

Glyphosphate I believe is the same as round up. Find a pre-emergent that can be mixed in with the weed killer and it will prevent seeds that are in the ground now from sprouting. Also if you want to make water wetter use Dawn dish detergent it makes your solution stick better to the leaves. This material prevents Photosynthesis.

[@josephwiese3937]

Regular 5 percent household vinegar can be used on its own against weeds. It's even better mixed with salt and dish soap. Mix 1 gallon of white vinegar with 1 cup of table salt and 1 tablespoon of liquid dish detergent. Put the mixture into a plastic spray bottle and spray directly on targeted weeds. This is much safer than using a glyphosate.

[@Brian_rock_railfan]

I found brush killer works better on brush than Round up. But round up will work you just may have to spray it more often

[@35manning]

I love spending other people's money, so with that in mind. Have you thought about buying a small to mid sized tractor with front loader? Can attach a proper weed sprayer to the 3 point hitch as well as many other implements like a slasher (heavy duty brush cutter / mower) or even a carry all (a small flat bed to transport, well anything). There's also great potential for some back yard mechanics to happen, using the tractor as a portable power source using either its built in hydraulics or its PTO. Think about a high capacity electrical generator with a dead engine. It is cut the engine off and slap on some mounts and a PTO driveshaft. Or welder, or air compressor, or hydraulic pump. Plus, if your bucket has a quick disconnect, you can mount forks for light duty off-road pallet handling, lifting traction motors Etc. You'd be surprised at what a cheap beat up old tractor can do. And they are so simple in operation that anyone with the slightest mechanical sense can work on them. And if you do get one with a front loader, a 4in1 bucket will let you grab small logs and green waste as well as grab onto any home made tools, such as a very wide and stiff broom for levelling ballast, smoothing out cleared areas alongside your tracks.

It doesn't need to be big, in fact a more compact unit would be better, it doesn't need to be pretty. It doesn't even need a 4in1 bucket because a couple of grapple arms, hydraulic hose and bi-directional valve are easy enough to retrofit. An old scrapper blade for the 3 point hitch (with reach over the back hand cranked rotation) and a bunch of straw broom heads clamped on can be used to level and bed the ballast. You don't need to throw money into a hole, but thinking about longer term maintenance of the yards and railway and how you are going to achieve that when the railway is in operation, storing cars, or having customers shunting in and unloading / loading their cars Etc. Pushing a track cart along isn't always going to work and when the yard is expanded, there will be a need for a maintenance possibly including grading and rolling access tracks, weed killing a gravel yard Etc. If you need to buy it eventually and it's available at a price that doesn't need financing, might as well do it sooner and reap the benefits now.

That is their long term plan, to get tracks into a condition where they are legal for car storage. One good source of income for very short lines is what is known as "per diem", a daily fee for rental of track for car storage. A larger railroad often finds it more economical to use a nearby short line for car storage than tie up its own tracks.

Dish detergent works to make the chemicals absorb into the grass and leaves too. I add some whenever spraying weed killer and it about doubles the kill rate.

This doesn't work for brush or trees, only grass and weeds.

I might also recommend asking railroads what they use. Additionally, you could get a propane tank and attach a hose with burner assembly to burn the vegetation, then spray it. Try a spray rig rather than a hand held arrangement - you are wearing yourself out when there are easier ways.
