One nice addition I put on my rig is a small fresh water tank comes in nice when dealing with liquid fertilizer

Overall I think that you must feel pleased with the outcome today, In my view a real credit to your engineering thoughts, ideas and skills to get it all together and functioning properly. Clearly at 6.5 miles per hour you have to be able to trust what is going on behind as there is no room for driving errors from looking / checking behind. Total congratulations. Dan

It's great to see your rig working well must be very gratifying to see your own build applicator at work

Nice rig. I built one several years ago a tool bar like yours out of anhydrous bar. Finally evolved into a hydraulic pump with flow meter and hiniker 8100 controller. Great videos keep them coming. I enjoy them very much.

Nice build always have a few bugs in a build. It will be nice to see 2-105 build love seeing anything brought back to life!

FYI, I built a side dress rig of my own with the exact same set up (pump and plumbing). I have noticed similar issues with my visagage (I'm using steel as well). From what I have noticed, the rows that run deeper in the ground (ones closer to the center) will show lower flow than the ones that tend to ride up (the ones on the winglet). I realize that the knifes are downstream of the orifices, but just something I have noticed. I have also noticed that going through different soil types have an effect on how it looks on the visagage. That said, the overall application rate is dead on. I have the exact same plumbing on my planter but with injectors and not knifes and notice no difference between rows hence why I think it might have something to do with the knifes. Nice job on your set-up regardless! Your channel is one of my favorites and the one that final caused me to set out and start my own channel. Keep it up!

2-105 winter project maybe???? I am excited to see that project. Awesome job with the new tool

Looks like the rigs doing a pretty fair job👌🤠

SO PLEASED THAT YOUR HARD WORK IS COMING TOGETHER ETHAN!

That brings back memories to me lol just a good guess as to what you you are applying but it is a good start. I definitely love my raven 450 monitor and hydraulic drive pump. Last few years I have been spraying on the nitrogen with the 1st pass much easier and herbicides tend to work much better

I see a couple Visio gauge balls running lower. I put in smaller Orfices and it raised my pressure enough to equal them . O I see in video you figured it out.

Good video Ethan! Corn looks good and your applicator looks like its doing a great job. I would say that your corn is taller than most over here in Monroe county. I remember applying anhydrous on tall corn back in the day. With sandy soils we always side dressed and got better results I believe for it. Sometimes we could see a couple tassles .

I'm glad its working out for you. I want to build something similar.

Great job Ethan, don’t be too hard on yourself young man, it’s gonna take some acres and some mistakes to get er dialed in, as you already know. A wide front end would work better. You’re smart, you’ll get it, I have the utmost faith in you👍🏻

My 1st year with my rig went stressful but successful as well. Good looking rig.

Ethan it could of be worse but you did a nice job figuring things out

Love to see when a plan comes together. The 2255 or the 2105 would work. I say the 2255 because I would love to see that beastie running.

I have really looked forward to seeing the applicator in the field. It was really interesting watching you put it together last winter. I know you are going to get it tuned exactly where you want it.

Good to see its working pretty goood .it will get better😊😊😊

If you place your extra valve between the stainer and the tee you could shut it to keep filling pressure off the strainer side of the system while filling.

Ethan, looks like you're designing overall was very solid, nice job 👍 just a few minor changes sounds like you'll be 100% on it. Thanks Michael

Very cool!! God job with manufacturing of it!!

Those John blue pumps are good about being accurate

Very nice, glad all work you did to make this

Think i remember the key board warriors. Told u to wait till it froze to harvest

Nice build, working good for a fraction of the cost. Always wanted to try sidedressing. Don't know how it would work on hills and funny shaped fileds. Worried about knocking down down. How much total N are you shooting for on corn. We do pre plant anhydrous.

Thank you for the video

Another nice job

Set your pump wide open when you prime it by hand it pumps up quicker

She's doing what you want Farm Boy!!

Well, your corn looks a hell of a lot better than mine. Thought I was nitrogen deficient, I'm 2 weeks behind you planting because of the "monsoon season" & only at V5 at best & some of it is yellowing but it shouldn't be cause I laid enough cow shit & lime last fall & fert. this spring as well & the PH is bang on 6. My neighbour, Old Kermitt says it's likely it's just been too wet & cool for corn this year so far, except for the 4 day hot spell, our daytime highs have been in the 50's & 60's & as low as 42 at night. I'm glad I got what Hay I did get done cause it's been an on again off again affair with the rain ever since.

Different length hoses will flow different rates, also the # of bends have to be the same in all hoses. There is a tube video on this showing the differences.

The kinks of using a new-to-you piece of equipment can try your patience to say the least. Looking good so far...hope you settle into your comfort zone . Wondered how the 4-150 with singles and saddle tanks would work?

Ethan John Blue makes a device called a flow-divider that distributes the flow accurately to each row,,,they work great

Good looking corn

Corn looks good.

It looks like you have lines clogged or inconsistent application based on how the balls are bouncing in the flow indicator. We have Red Ball flow indicators in our planter and the balls are all the same height when everything is working correctly.

What kind of camera do you use

i do not like driving so fast in crop like that
