  • I watch every single video and I enjoy every minute but sometimes especially this video it just takes me a back at how large your family operation is. To need that much equipment to cover your land is mind blowing.

    Always a blast to see the spray plane. Great video Mike

    Clenched pretty hard when he came down after those trees, yeesh!😂
  • I believe that plane is an Air Tractor. Lots of them down here in Louisiana!

    Such an awesome video! Thanks Mike!
  • My neighbor built a few 176ft booms, for the biggest farmers here in Central Minnesota. Those same farmers trade the power unit off, but keep the booms. The biggest Case IH sprayer is the only one built heavy enough to handle weight of the boom. If I remember correctly, it was 6 or 8 passes to a square 40.

    Family around when Brian takes to the air ... I'm not crying, you're crying
  • It's a 2009 Air Tractor AT-402B per the registration number. Mitchell Air Ltd.
  • A company in Michigan is working with Large Drones for spraying. Pretty interesting stuff. Thanks for sharing the land and air spray attack.

    Cessna build three different 188 spray planes. The AG Wagon, AG Truck and the AG Husky.😀👍

    Mike, it would be interesting to know a cost analysis of air vs ground per acre. With the cost of a ground sprayer now equal or north of that Air Tractor I’d imagine the cost difference has closed substantially. Also wondering if your ground sprayer can share coverage maps with the Ag Plane. When will we be seeing the first Drone spraying demonstration and review..

    Love watching the spray planes! I always thought they did an awesome job for fungicides and insecticides but I seemed to get better herbicide activity from ground rigs. Maybe that’s just me🤷‍♂️

    Wouldn't that be something, DEF on a plane! Cruising through the air, and you suddenly get an engine derate due to a DEF system issue.
