We filmed this June 9th and we still haven't gotten that Northeast. It has been the busiest spring to date and we severely underestimated everything about maintenance (cost/time/frustrations). We have always had so much respect for ag specific aircraft mechanics but we have gained a whole new level of respect after seeing firsthand the reality of it. Anyway, our season is well underway and we are excited for what's to come. We are really trying hard to continue creating videos but we have had to put a few things on hold while we work on growing our business. We appreciate you all sticking around with us.

Crop Dusting with a Bell Longranger Helicopter

Chas Heppe has been flying helicopters in the ag industry for the last 10 years and was nice enough to run us through this rig and take us up for a mock spray run!

    I need to do the last two for sure. However, my advantage is that I also have about 300 hrs of chopper time, which relies heavily on pedal use, as well as low level ag experience flying rice. That was an absolute blast!

    I've just started watching your videos today. I NEVER IMAGINED how much shit has to be going through your brain every 5 seconds. Flows set? Sprayer charged? Wind? Wires? Trees? On the line? Ground Speed? Power setting? Altitude? Pull up time? Pull up ques? Don't over bank when rolling out, remember that wire over there, remember those trees are taller... Those old lazy bastards that Airbuses think THEY"RE SO COOL. They couldn't do your job on their best day... And because they have a union - they make twice what you do... There's no justice in this word. Major Respect you guys!!!!!

    • @AgAviationAdventures
      @AgAviationAdventures Před 10 dny

      You can, yes. Agopti does not have an app so you would just have the program open on your internet browser, have the load open that you are working on, find poly/field, and hit start/end button. It's not as quick as user friendly being that it's not an app, but possible.

    Cool an ol AgTruck huh? My Paw had brand new Agwagon for awhile, I watched a hired pilot stall it in a turn and wreck it, he was fine, dumba$$! Dad also had a Cat & some pawnees, a Brave was his last. He started out with sketchy Super Cubs with soreson spray kits, lost his best friend spraying in one of them:( But that was forty some years ago now since he quit and I never got into it other than helping Dad at the time. You guys take care of business first, dont worry about YT and stuff, we'll be here :)👍

    You have a mobile fuel truck, does that include chems? I asked a year ago or so if you could land on local roads to reload and refuel. Will this allow you to do that now or do you still have to ferry from an airport? My first AG-air job was driving a water truck with a 500-gal tank and no breaks in the Oklahoma Panhandle. I was 16. Boss gave me $.50 to fill the tank at the city water works at 0400 every morning. Great times!

    • @AgAviationAdventures
      @AgAviationAdventures Před 10 dny

      We're building a trailer with water, fuel, pumps etc, everything we need to load however, we don't fly off of roads. We will always work off of an airport or private strip. We have some work in some other regions and it's not enough for us to build a permanent base so we are going to have the trailer so we can go for a day or two easily. Thanks for the comment!

      @@AgAviationAdventures Are you even allowed to land on the farm-to-market roads anymore. That saved us a lot of fuel, landing next to the fields or in between the many fields we sprayed each day. We only ferried once from the airport and that was the day I soloed while they were out spraying. My boss was there when my shirttail was cut, and he paid for the flight time!

    Big pasture acres sounds like a dream! Here in Kansas we’re 90% herbicide with a 602 and a 502. In one day we can be spraying summer fallow, wheat harvest aid, alfalfa, milo, corn and vegetables! A lot of logistics, a lot of cleaning out, a dedicated clean load rig for the touchy jobs and a LOT of smoke oil…

    Cally, that was an excellent tour and Jeff was the "Tour Guide" to make it a most informative day. I retired after about 25 years in electronic production so Jeff's descriptions were very interesting. I was an ISO 9001 inspector for many years. ISO 9001 is a system that documents and works with production manufacturing to ensure that the processes are documented and adhered to in production. The way Jeff described your tour through the factory shows how well they work with that kind of process. Your audio presentation was just fine... don't even worry about it! Noises on a production floor are part of the environment. I barely noticed them. Thanks for an excellent presentation.
