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

1:35 the plane sounds amazing

Family around when Brian takes to the air ... I'm not crying, you're crying

Hello from Moosomin, Saskatchewan, Canada great videos thanks for sharing with all of us 😊

Love the air tractor!

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.

I believe that plane is an Air Tractor. Lots of them down here in Louisiana!

It's a 2009 Air Tractor AT-402B per the registration number. Mitchell Air Ltd.

Such an awesome video! Thanks Mike!

Clenched pretty hard when he came down after those trees, yeesh!😂

Looks like a lot of GREEN!! What a blessing

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

A company in Michigan is working with Large Drones for spraying. Pretty interesting stuff. Thanks for sharing the land and air spray attack.

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🤷‍♂️

Come on Brian... no loop-de-loop over the trees?🤣🤣

impressive flying skills

It’s going to be a great crop and deserved

I've seen planes spray and the horsepower they have to pull up is incredible. I've seen helicopters spray also. Craziness

Thank you Brian ❤

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..

Mike , where's ATC, you should be in Tower calling Brian (1:00) , ........" hold short on runway 13 ", when he's on taxiway Q. 😁

That looks like an Air Tractor. We used to have a few buzzing our fields here. Some time ago, they banned them here within a certain distance to houses. That's really lame considering the super fine spray from the land unit can easily travel 1/2 mile or more with the wind. It's killed our garden more than once. The Air Tractor pilots around here are as talented and skilled as I've ever seen in my life. That is not an easy job by any means. Brian's plane seemed like it took up a lotta run way to get off the ground, or maybe it's just the perception I got from the video imagery here Mikey. Thanks for all the great footage laddy.

P51 converted to sprayer would be badass

He was a good friend

Crop is looking good Mike👍

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.

awesome video

You need the air tractor hooked up to the John Deere guidance, then you know where he was !

Brian i my new hero !! What a life

When you compare the ground rig to the plane, can you see any difference in effectiveness between carrier rates?

Mike we need a john deere vs case sprayer review

Salut Mike magnifique vidéo et l,avion qui trete et le pluvieux automoteur et le guidage est bien intéressante et bien équipés 😂😮😅😊

In our experience ground units do a much better job without a doubt. Airel spraying definitely has its place though.

Plane means no tracks as well

Hey Mike, been watching your videos for a number of years. Sorry haven’t subscribed. I’ve retired from farming as my children are no longer interested. So have the properties rented out. So yes I’m now one of those landlords but I’m always keen to see what you guys are doing in Canada Have been through that area a number of years ago and was envious of your excellent crops as ours here in the eastern grainbelt of Australia. Certainly don’t yield like yours can so just wanted to send you a note to say thank you for taking the time to do the videos , I most certainly do enjoy watching them, and although I only had half the number of combined and spray rigs etc that you’ve got it is nice to also see a large-scale grain farm and I know too well what it takes to keep it going on a day to day and a year to year basis Especially when you’ve had a couple of bad years, but of course when it’s dry for you. It’s wet for us and things are getting back to normal in 2024 for us so hopefully we both have that average or above average year and although where opposite seasons Our wheat Durum and chickpeas grow in our winter as we only just get down to freezing on six or seven nights throughout winter from planting in may to harvest in November again thank you God bless and wish you all the wealth for this season safe and happy farming for you and your family. Cheers

Mike you're pretty awesome but Brian is way cooler lol. Can we have a vid of Brian talking about and showing his aircraft?

How does mapping work using the sprayer plane? Does Brian have some sort of mapping so how know's what he has sprayed each pass?

My cousin on June 20th lost his life around Swan River MB flying his crop spraying plane!Not sure what caused the crash.But he bought to be more efficient on his farm!Rest in peace Melvin!

👍

3:53 hell ya

Your guys operation is dang impressive , Brian's Plane is awesome. I know alot of guys hire a air tractor when it's to wet in the fields. Does Brian do any custom spraying with the olane?

What would you charge for custom spraying with the plane?

👋😊

How is the coverage and overlap compared between the two systems?

Our neighbor in West Tennessee Scott Rainey crashed his air tractor last weekend

That plane looks fast. Is it accurate as far as like hitting everything with spray?

morning

How wide does that puppy spray?

That plane seems very efficient and fun to fly. I wonder how many gallons of chemical it will carry?

Does the spray plane get a different tank mix?

Hey Mike, what about those drone sprayers that fly by themselves? I guess your fields are too big for them to be efficient?

Dose the plain map sprain on screen. Can see your mapping to know where to spray?

How many gallons of water are you applying?

Air Tractor

You’ll have to get your mom in one of your videos

Hey Mike, Ive got a question. Could you get Brian to give us a tour of the airtractor because i have lots of questions.

Mike do you still have your trident if you do why do not use it that we can see

Thanks Mike. As always informative and entertaining. Happy belated Canada Day to you.

What does Brian use to map where he sprayed with the plane Mike ?

do you know how much money you save on using the plane

The atv a KFX 700?

This might be a dumb question, but does driving over the crops to spray kill off the plants? If so, is it a large loss of crop, or not really in the greater scheme of the entire field?

Air plane is an air plane Tractor is a tractor call it what it is

❤ment to say jemmy chemical... is the best machine wash ask George Sanders uk .. mike it's good. Me Dumfries Scotland ❤❤❤

Brian plane is.....a ukrainin air force missing plane :)

How mutch dose it cost tu run sprayer for 1h, and how mutc it cost to run airtractor for 1h??

Oi 👍👍👍👍

I would think a helicopter would work better as you could almost sprays as if you were a ground unit.

Is that a 502 or 802?

What happened to the trident???

What’s all that “green” stuff mike???? Lol

1 field is 2,800 acres? That’s enormous amount of land for 1 field!

If you're not a snake catcher don't mess with them

Which model of Air Tractor is that? 502?

Do still have the trident sprayer

Piper pawnee plane?

How can you make money on chick peas when you have to spray them so much?

but has he ever done an independents day and sprayed the wrong crop?

AirLand Farming

Wait till drones are perfected for spraying. The need for million dollar sprayers will go down

Mike do you guys air tractor for other farmers?

What about the accuracy?....
