The way the splitter splashes chemical, you really should have a face shield handy!
Eye protection is recommended no matter how you deal with the jugs. Mike does wear glasses, so thatâs some protection there.
Ought to be wearing a full body suit and respirator. Just think of the long term affects of chemical splashes each year and over time... yada yada...
My uncle lost a testicle to a chemical spill, they wore better PPE after that. He died last year to an aggressive cancer, not even 70. Thatâs what I always think about when folks are spraying, is please wear the PPE.

Man, the amount of critics utube farm channels bring out is astonishing. Everyone knows better or has a better way lol. You're doing perfect Mike. You have alot to show for what you do and have done and know. Talk is cheap. You're putting it all out there for us to see, unlike the naysayers in the comments. Farmsim, where alot of the people get idea from, and real life are no comparison. God bless you and your family and farm buddy.
Mike im sure it's been posted before but in Australia we use 110 litre or 1000 litre containers with a quick connectors. Soooooo much easier than smaller jugs and less chance of splashing chemical .
Everytime I see those jugs I wonder why it doesn't come in bulk haha
Because the only 1000L totes you can gwt are roundup.. Other wise it's 450 for some fungicides and so on.. 115L barrels for spem herbicides but then you still have to use jugs.. Sontjen why bother? More pumps needed, more moving parts and then for us, more risk of mix up's.
Jugs are so easy to top off loads with, we actually prefer them.
@@mikemitchell2554 that makes a hell of a lot of sense actually. Lol đ
@@mikemitchell2554 I agree sometimes jugs are way easier especially depending on the tote design we picked up a bunch of traxos 2 totes they were nothing but a complete nuisance.

Hi Mike great as you come with videos for the time being watching them and following you with great interest will continue with it
When Mike started dumping chemical, I had The Benny Hill Show music playing in my head
Thanks Mike, I was waiting for a full video on the dash system. Seems to work well. I like the looks of the spinner nozzle, looks a lot better than the plain rubber nozzle that comes on the Patriots, where you have to hold the jug on there and press down to activate the rinse.
Yeah, DJ Mitchell is on Stage âïžđ€Ł
Again a very intressting Video, thanks for That đđ»đ
Greetings from Germany âïž
Great video Mike good luck spraying
Awesome dash set up Mike
That is a really slick loading system and it keeps you hopping while you are loading.
Excellent video content mike đđ thx so much!
That light is awesome and that mixer is amazing
its so cool to see all this stuff mike
as I'm from Australia
Slick system Mike I havenât seen one better than that awesome set up
With that many sprayers it would take an army to haul chemical an water to your sprayers, for us we only have one sprayer we have two guys hauling hot loads and thatâs what works best for us, good luck on your growing season
Watching you slam the jugs of chemicals into the tubs makes me think you are doing a dance. We could call it the Herbicide Hop (like the Lindy Hop). :)
Sounds fun Mike
Yes I woke up early today and I was waiting for mike to upload
Love the video
Good job guy
mike really stepped up his upload rate. its been 13h since last video
The smaller tanks looks like you could put air through the rinse to speed up the jug draining once dash gets you on board air. Pop on jug on A turn on air. Pop jug on S turn on air. Turn air off A and turn on water switch jug and repeat to S.
Why mike dances around on his cemical trailer?i love itđđđ
Nother great video Mike .
8:50 DJ Mike Mitchell, for all your mixing and spraying parties.
A master chef or mad scientist at work đđ

Mike you are an absolute fkn legend, a national treasure and my favourite CZcams sensation of all time!
Ha! đ Thanks
I agree. He's the only guy from Saskatchewan, Canada that I know...I know where he farms, but wouldn't waste his time. I passed thru within 45 minutes from his farm, and I kinda felt I might find him along the highway in his sprayer around the next corner. Lol
I love how Mike tells me how to load my sprayer that I donât have on my 50,000 acre farm that I donât have and tells me how to use chemicals that I donât have
Do the nozzles on your sprayer put out a fan or a cone shaped pattern? If it is a fan, a cone shape would probably help with the skips due to the pulsing. That is if you can get a cone nozzle.
You should see if you can get the fendt sprayer and try that out next season
I donât like the look of that splitter on the small jugs for anything nasty, the way it can cut up the side and shoot water and chemical out towards you. In Australia there are a lot of bulk and mini-bulk containers (like 110L) with fittings for metering pumps so that you donât need to handle small containers, not sure what canada has though.
Likewise in Sweden! Drums, IBC containers or bulk. Everything made of plastic is now recyclable or reused. Also uses a pawn system. And no unnecessary cardboard boxes! Like it a lot!
Same in Canada, alot of people prefer jugs however. They are harder to mix up, less expensive if spilled and often jugs are still needed to top up. You also need more pumps and moving parts etc.
@@mp40submachinegun81 I don't mix up the labels (but of course mix the chem with water :), I don't spill gold either with same cost per ounce as chemicals and I have often chems over after spraying season instead of my bank account.:D
Split the back side
@@uppsalahazzemarkstedt2759 wait until your tote cracks, great times watching hundred dollar bills run down the pavement.
I kno he sped it up but Mike looked like a sprayer mixing acrobat there or somthing haha đ
Another very instructive video. If you had two booms and were loading two sprayers at the same time, would one person try to do both at once or each sprayer driver do his own? Wouldnât the platform be too congested with two people and two sets of boxes and jugs to work around? If one person loaded both, seems like an opportunity for error as fast as. you were working with just one sprayer, especially after long hours and tired.
Maybe they could do something like that but with a flat bed super b đ€
You need to carry ZIP Ties with you everywhere
Hit the jugs on the bottom side edge the will split better and with less splashing
Have you tried using an awl or an ice pick to let air into the bottoms of those jugs after they are set in the tank. Might speed up the draining process? Maybe the rinse cycle would be too messy though.
That could be messy, but I wonder about a length of rubber hose running up alongside that spinner shaft, if that would let air in and speed drain out.
Could hook it to pressurized air to really speed it up, lol.
Morning
Use a black marker to mark the boxes 1 thru 8....
I have never seen a farmer road the sprayer to fill till you.where I am from we always had the water truck by the field so we did not waste time running back and forth to load the sprayer
That is what alot people do, it just doesn't work for us đđ€·đ»ââïž
Is it do to not enough help.uf you could help me get a passport I can come work for you.
@@brianrutherford3681 thereâs no water here and the fields are so far apart, there is one station that covers thousands of acres
Mike could have taken that on the Ed Sullivan Show with the plate spinners.
Mike the DJ
The splitter is clearly faster in terms of dumping and rinsing the jugs. However, I worry about the splashing when you pierce the jug. You duck every time you load pierce the jug, but in the interest of safety I would suggest wearing a face shield to protect your face and eyes. Very cheap protection.
if you do it the normal way i don't see any problems, not like he did it jumpy jumpy like a headless chicken lol

Just a thought, with dumping the jugs upside down, the glug-glug is very slow, how about stabbing a hole in the top (bottom) of the jug once in place to allow the air to flow and eliminate the glug-glug should speed it up a ton!
By the time you get out something to poke a hole in it and have the hole made, it'll have already drained and be getting rinsed.
turn on the rinse right away

Mike big đšâđŸđŸđ đđźđč
What about 1000 litter shuttles instead of those jugs. We use load cells measure to our chemical that are attached to a handler and suck straight out of the shuttles
Some chemicals only come in the jugs.
Do chemicals come in larger quantities? Would it be worth it to purchase in those large plastic tanks with metal cages? Hookup a line, measure, mix. Instead of jugs and boxes. Seems like it would be a time saver but Iâm also commenting from the suburbs of New England. I also say it because of the volume/coverage Mile has to get through compared to others.
why r the tanks so small on the sprayers? less water?
You missed a bit !
On the last one, under the 'split' metal thing ?! đđ»ââïž
At 7:49 min right hand side of your screen is a ghost đ
Is that Mr. Wizard behind the curtain?
Would it not be faster just to use the inductor with the splitter ? Looks like a lot of wasted time dealing with the other 2
Hey Mike, seems like it would be much easier to get your chemicals in mini-bulks of 200 or so gallons than having to rinse all those jugs.
Isn't it a worry that these chemicals will have some residual? Especially in light sandy soils.
So the Dash System is basically a large scale Bop It
Mike a lot of jugs are going in there.đ
Didn't you but that Amazone UX 11200 though?!
How would you keep enough water on the trailer to feed 2 sprayers?
They canât thatâs what the tanks on the ground are for the trailer is for mixing and moving the chemical
Very complicated Mike!
Hey Mike how big is that tank on trident?
Its a maxcap 2400 gallon.
Back breaking work. The chem tub openings should be no higher than waist high, so you don't have to hike the jugs so high to dump, and there needs to be a way to stage them in a way to reduce lifting then placing them back in the boxes, which eventually you kick off the trailer in a pile. Looks to me like they could set up a conveyor system to carry those boxes up to the chem tanks for you, then another conveyor to take the empties off the trailer to a pile. I'll bet lots of improvements yet to come in that set up.
Have you guys got rain yet ?
Hey those work pants you wear all the time what brand are they please?
Why do you use jugs rather than the big shuttles / pallet tanks? I would assume that was faster and easier?
Not much of the Chemical comes in big totes. I think he said only round up and maybe 2,4d. The rest is all jugs
@@arlenstrauch Yeah I saw that after I commented this
Is there not a dew at night and crop too wet to spray,
You can't spray at night in Ireland to much Dew
Wy do you have small jugs? The big containers would be al lot easyer i think
Some chemical only comes in jugs.
Something about this reminded me of Walter White....đ
when you have the two on the left that drains slow you should have a knife and put a hole in the bottom and they will drain faster
I was thinking adding a small pipe next to the sprayer would allow air in so it would drain faster
Just turn on the rinse right away, the incoming water will quickly force out the chemical
@@richardschipper5989 That too!
I'm not sure if it has been asked but I'm curious who are those pants made by?
Engelbert Strauss
What are your thoughts about the "mix mate" or however ita called that the welkers and cole uses on theyr youtube farm?
Mike, the dance you do with your jugs is so cute. Don't let Ashton see it it will drive her Wild.
Obviously every farm is different, but I use as many totes as possible. The less chemical I can handle and smell the better.
Yes, some chemicals donât come in totes.
Any chance we could see the Johnâ Deere sprayer on action???
Can you not buy by bulk lot manual handling just wondering for the amount you cover
They do. Some chemicals only come in smaller amounts though for handling and mixing reasons. Lest waste with the chemicals and more precise. The plastic containers get packed up and recycled and turned into plastic chemical containers again.
Some only comes in smaller container.
What's a gal of chemical cost??
Damn Mike. You really pushing 2 videos a day.
Are you crazy?
I can't even have a break? Pleasae? LMAO
You're crazy.
Haha no 2 videos today.. We are done the 2s đ
@@mikemitchell2554 I really liked the 2 videos a day. But I guess you only can make so many videos Keep up the great work Mike.
@@mikemitchell2554 Mike, 2 videos isn't too much. The more, the better! I enjoy having a backlog of videos to watch.
@tiny fast sit in the sprayer with auto steer on mile long rows
Mike is a trained professional, born and bred on this environment.
If you think it is dangerous, DON'T DO IT.
You don't see Mike using a table saw, chef's knife or Ninja sticks. He knows what he does and does it safely. People good at an art make it look easy. He is great around the farm. Don't let him touch your table saw.
Again, like everything, unless you are comfortable doing it, Be careful or DON'T do it.
Take your own responsibility.
He would be fired immediately if he would work for a chemical plant: no googles or face shield while i see chemicals splashing at face height.
A chemical resistant apron or overall would be recommended, if the chemical gives skin burns or is irretating the skin.
@@sjaakdebaar9371 Thats funny, I don't remember anyone asking if he worked at a chemical plant... He works on a farm. His farm...
@@sjaakdebaar9371 But he works at a farm not a plant.
@@sjaakdebaar9371 I guess itâs a good thing he doesnât work at a plant.
We recycle all our jugs
The farmer đ„đ„đ„đ„đ„đ„đ„
He does recycle his jugs, you canât and donât want to burn plastic and you get paid to return the jugs
@@memesandmusic ya, I think the joke went over you're head. I grew up on a farm not far from Mike and most farmers burn jugs. We didn't, however.
Time to introduce a new competition.
Set up an independent camera to record the time and skill process each sprayer operator takes to mix up a new load with the winner at the end of the season gets the loser to wash and winterize his individual sprayer

Mike when you run sprayer why does ashtyn not spray with you
She has before
The splitter is no good for you sir.
im picking it. You're pushing hard. no good Going that long. just saying.
Lol yeah, other people doing long hours of work is scary, huh? Momma will get you a nice warm bottle of milk and tuck you in for a nappy nap while the men work.
@tiny fast now your speaking for everyone else btw, who is Mitchekll
Been there done that. It only takes a nasty accident to stuff things up big time. Mama isn't there every time you ask.
Hoping you had a relaxing time in front of the bonfire last night

Everything about farming is a race
Is this sped up?đ
Mike you worked like a headless chicken. nobody works in real life like that jumpy jumpy and i have nothing against working fast but that was horrible.
Haha that's me all the time đ€Ł
Well, I suppose that understandable when you haven't actually worked like it was you money on the line so you just wouldn't get it.
Slow down. Itâs not worth the exposure just to save a few minutes.
