I have some white clover in my yard, but I don't mind. The neighbor's bees like it, so I tolerate it.
When I mow the yard, I try to keep an eye out for the bees on the clover blossoms, so I don't run over them. 🐝 🙂
The sod farms in Indiana add clover to the grass. It maintains moisture and holds green better. They say you can’t tell the difference from street view. I have a lot of clover but I live in the country and anything green on the ground looks good enough.
White clover indicates nitrogen deficient soil. If you fertilized with nitrogen, you would see less clover or no clover, if you have enough nitrogen in your soil, because the grass would grow better. From the internet, clover each time it's mowed can release 100-150lbs of nitrogen per acre. I personally have decided the last few years to use no chemicals on my lawn to avoid runoff into streams.
My sprayer is supposed to be here tomorrow, really going to like the quick hitch and pto! Thanks Tim for the demo!
ಜೆಬ್ನ್ಮ್ ವು vvvvvvbbjr
Now we are on the same page. I’m excited to watch the video.
nice use of the sprayer and video Christie showing the sprayer in action
I like the sprayer! The foam marker is a great feature!
Great video!! Tim, you have the coolest toys!!!
I have a JD sprayer for my Gator. It's 12V instead of PTO driven. I think it hold 45 gallons. It does have a remote fob which is handy. With the 1025R you can turn a lot shorter than I can in the Gator. It's a pretty good sprayer for me. Thanks for showing us around this sprayer.
I just bought a Frontier LS 2004 sprayer and love it. It is 45 gallon and has a 4 gpm electric pump. In addition to lawncare when trees and flower beds get dry I simply use the convenient hand sprayer to water.
Quality of the sprayer is very good and works well on my 1025R. Frontier missed the boat by not utilizing the 12 V electrical outlet on the tractor versus having to run wiring from the battery. I tried a fuse protected plug to use the outlet on the tractor but it pops 7 & 7.5 Amp fuses. Ten Amp fuses run "very warm". As such, I will be installing cabling from the battery next week.
I found this video informative, thanks you.
Yea, it would be nice if the 12v outlet supported more power. As it is, nearly everything requires a separate run to the battery!
That is a nice unit, and the foam markers are a plus. It’s not easy to keep track of everything, watch where you’re going, and see where you’ve been all at the same time. I can “see” the foam! Nice job Christy! (You too Tim ;-) Blessings
Just purchased the frontier 46gal 3pt sprayer for the 1025R. Can’t wait to use it this fall. In Canada we use ParIII or Green Three Way herbicide for broadleaf weeds.
Enjoyed the video.... the foam makes your yard look like runways at the airport. Lol. Great job explaining the calibration and rate as well... in the words of the Lawn Care Nut, Great job "spraying and praying!" And your measurement for the foam would be " close enough for government work".
Very nice unit. The foam markers makes it easier for precise spraying.
I have the 26gal. Northstar electric boomless sprayer mounted on a carrier with 2" hitch. It gives me the option of using on the tractor or the SxS.
I love your property, its beautiful!:)
Very nice sprayer
We have a tsc brand sprayer that is around 60 gallons and maybe 200" Hasnt been out of rafters of barn since i was a kid since we did field corn for the birds but thats been long time ago. Sprayed to kill quack grass before plowing and discing and we dragged it to collect roots and burn. We then planted the corn with a horse drawn 3pt planter ( i loved to ride on the seat the brake turn arounds were fun) then dad cultivated a couple times then would spray while could get down the rows. We deal with halfway knee to hip corn at best
Lawn care! My favorite use for a tractor! Do you have any video from the calibration with spraying dry concrete to show the pattern?
The emergency tank can be emptied into the spayer tank to rinse it. Spray the rinse water on the application area. Great for areas that might not have gotten full application. That is standard practice with pesticides and herbicides.
Your neighbor across the street has a beautiful property. I always enjoy looking over his way during your videos!
Yes! And they are wonderful people too! You’ve seen Chris in several of our videos.
I’ve always ran foam marker kits. From ones I have made with a gas can and tire inflator (worked really good actually) to a purchased system but I would never pay what this system cost. You can buy the crop care system that is identical to this, for a third of the price on Amazon. I currently have the 45 gal JD electric sprayer, 150” boom, and the crop care foam system. Some modification was needed to make it all work but it does. One thing I did was add flat steel extension to the booms to extend the foam marker drops out 15” from the last nozzle to stop any overlap.
I think we got all of your dandelion up here in the northeast!!! It was rough up here this year. Great content!!!!
I just started trying Trimec from TSC this year on our yard. May try a small test area to compare Trimec with your product. I mow about 5 acres of our 15, make hay on the rest where we WANT a strong stand of clover.
That sprayer would be great for fertilizing my garden 🥒🥬🌽
Yep. Would work well.
Have you tested the Simplicity Legacy XL with loader and backhoe?
I used to follow a guy on yard care…. Jerry Baker… always spray weeds yards in fall after Labor Day. The next year yard was always flawless. Whatever you do to your yard in fall late fall always was better in the spring. Like planting grass always mid-late august
I agree. The best time to spray clover is fall.
We on the golf c ourse use a blue tracer dye that added in the chemicals we spray on the grass
Man this is what I need for my yard so I can ride on my 955 more lol
I wonder if there are any programs on a phone / tablet you could GPS spray similar to AG sprayers? I wonder how some wild flowers in a pre defined area would do in your yard.
The bee's like the clover so we leave it for them not a big deal to see clover in the yard.
As an alternative to the expensive foam system, I use a product called Lazer Blue Spray Pattern Indicator. Neighbors have a puzzle trying to figure out the blue tint on the ground until the next rain.
Hated the dye. Got all over the Gator a couple of years ago. Check out the episode
@@TractorTimewithTim Just get Deere to sponsor you a GPS setup haha
I use cross bow buy I would like to see them put a mix chart per gallon instead of Acreage I have been using 4 once’s per gallon to kill poison Ivy that is a nice sprayer for wide open spaces I use a 15 gallon one with a wand
Water is 8 pounds/gal. So 60 gallons = 480 plus the equipment weight. 90 gal = 720 plus equipment.
How about mounting a larger tank on a trailer?
i made a foamer for my sprayer for about 100 bucks hadnt counted but it was probly less
I use Trimec 922 herbicide-golf course grade chemical. Crossbow is great total defoliant from Southern States. Some states require a license, mine doesn't.
Hey Tim nice demo. Do you run in low or high and also it looks like you cut before you spray is that correct. Thanks again for the video.
I run in low range.
Preferably right between cuttings. 2-3 days after, 2-3 days before!
Tim i don’t know how the 1 series pto is powered but on our 2038r we have the same sprayer and instead of reaching around to flip the valve on and off I just use the pto switch. Very easy.
I want to keep the pump running for recirculating purposes.
@@TractorTimewithTim with a product like crossbow (i'd recommend you look into speedzone) once it is mixed in you don't need to keep agitating it so much. The way you're sloshing it around the yard is probably doing more agitation than the pump :-)
Some products like wettable powders and such need more agitation but I promise you you'll be ok with weedkiller.
Shoot... if I got rid of the broadleaves & clover my yard would be dirt. LOL Another use I found for my ATV sprayer (don't have one for the tractor) is to control grass fires.
Offset your sprayer boom follow the Wheel tracks from your first pass. If you want to get rid of white clover use grazonnext. They both work well. great.
The crossbow worked beautifully!
thanks for sharing the video I would like to pick up a 60 gallon sprayer do you think the Kubota BX series would lift it. it's rated just under 700 lb 2 ft past the lifting arms. the sprayer weighs 87 lb plus approximately 500 lb for the liquid. it looks like it would be cutting it real close thanks Tim
Yes. 1025r cannot quite pick it up all the way….have one on mine now. BX 3 pt can lift more than 1025r
@@TractorTimewithTim thanks Tim
What have you found that will take care of white colver?
Crossbow
Which model is the John Deere Sprayer? Can you buy it at Green Tractor Parts with TTWT?
It is now offered as a ‘Frontier’ sprayer.
did you get the cast version or silver series pump
This one is the better one. We have the lower version in another sprayer. For our needs, really doesn’t matter.
Tim any long term update on the Carlisle tires? Thoughts for them on a zero turn ?
I like them. Smoother ride. I run them with very little pressure.
Purchased a 2019 JD 3033R have 6 acre's this video was on time will be looking for the 95 gallon sprayer..who builds that one for JD ?..
Agrifab formerly superior tech. Dry high quality!
Good video. With all the PTO driven attachments you demonstrate, have you ever evaluated any type of PTO quick attachment? Sometimes if is difficult to attach a long shaft to the tractor PTO spline.
I have one now…but have not tried it.
@@TractorTimewithTim That could be another great video form you.
Tim Christi the sprayer is something we could use we like people type but we have the orange brand I keep looking
God Bless All
PaK
This sprayer will fit your orange tractor!
Do you need special nozzles for the foam on the ends?
I think something like a 'diffuser' from a faucet would work. It is not high pressure.
Great video Tim. Did Agrifab buy superior tech or just curtain product lines?. Thank you and have a great and safe day to you both. Tim
Agrifab bought Superior Tech…all of it.
Maybe I am missing it, Do you have a link, or part numbers, to the sprayer and foam system you're using. Have a great 4th and thanks ahead of time, still loving the videos!
Foam system yes. GreenPartStore.com/ttwt
Rumor is the sprayer may be available as a frontier brand product now.
You put gps auto steer, to replace the fomer.
Clover, specifically white clover is usually added to grass seed blends as it fixes Nitrogen in the soil. If you have clover taking over an area of your lawn do a soil test (can go to your cooperative extension.) As the Nitrogen is increased in the soil the clover will die back and the grass will take over.
We are adding nitrogen too. Grass has improved dramatically this year.
We haven’t taken any action to improve in the prior years we have lived here.
@@TractorTimewithTim I found this to be an interesting article. Love the videos, keep up the good work.
www.lawnstarter.com/blog/lawn-care-2/were-thinking-over-why-we-kill-clover/?fbclid=IwAR0amCXWPJMo8MpypbHZwgsc2QySdM7e6wtZ9GOKkR-UjeDtkCvVlMXA2E8
Would the 90 gallon sprayer work on your Kubota?
Yes.
Triclopyr is the active ingredient in crossbow (road) at 16% concentration
They also make a 61% concentration. Works great for poison Ivy.
Quinclorac also works on clover. - surfactant also required.
FYI Tim triclopyr comes in 2 versions. Triclopyr 3 and 4, T3 is for aquatic use to and t4 is for ground use. You may want to give t3 a try on the pond to help clean it up.
Tim you didn’t talk about the use of surfactants to me mixed with the sprayer. Something to help the chemical solution stick to the leaf blade, Foliage application is much more absorbing to a plant than root update. For that reason always spray a few days minimum before you mow. Let the leaf of the plant absorb chemical into the plant fully before you mow and shop if off the leaf.
This one had a surfactant included already.
Just curious why you didn’t get the larger 110 gallon sprayer for the 2038r? Like the video from when you went too superior tech? I truly like the the rate controlled sprayer you had for the gator I watched it several times. But the 60 gallon sprayer is still a nice sprayer for sure. I enjoyed the video thanks for sharing.
Don’t think I had the 2038r when I got the 60 gal sprayer.
I was under the impression that Crossbow was a general plant killer much like Roundup? Thought Roundup was a consumer level version of Crossbow? I have had luck with Tenacity, which is broadleaf, (weed) specific so it only goes after weeds. Cost more than crossbow though.
No, crossbow is 2-4,D and one other triccop…whatever.
Tim your yard will never look better than it does now if you keep using crossbow.... Too late in the year to get a good kill in clover. Spot spray Crossbow in the spring and increase lbs/ac of nitrogen. Crossbow is fantastic for ditches and fence rows but stunts grass. I mentioned the above last year but you keep pushing...😊 Stick with 2,4-D Amine or Ester depending on time of year and application conditions. To eliminate danelions, spray in the fall.
it killed the clover beautifully (this application was several weeks ago). Very happy with the results. I think we're doing fine.
Just add some green dye in your herbicide and you'll see where you sprayed at. I tried it once and will always do it that way now.
I tried it a couple of years ago…just makes all the equipment messy. Not a fan.
Crossbow is not labeled for residential turf applications.
Right.
That sprayer comes in handy Tim
Be nice if it came with a wand for brush and tree lines. Easier way I found was too let the grass seed out a couple times so it drowns out the weeds, bush hog it, then keep it mowed before the weeds bloom or seed. It looks worse for a while and takes longer "sometimes a couple of yrs" than 24D does, though.
It does have a wand and hose for that. You can see it hanging on the side in the thumbnail.
I failed to mention that...ugh. Hard to think of everything.
@@TractorTimewithTim No worries,
What are you going to do about algae in pond? Would aerator help?
We treated it recently. …after this video…with copper sulfate. Looks great now!
@@TractorTimewithTim how do you know how much cuso4 to use?
Neighbor did it while I was gone. He used just a little bit…repeating with a bit more until it worked.
It will kill fish if too much used.
Wish someone had one of these sprayers in stock or would ship. Went to both my dealers can’t get them have no clue about them so Finally ended up Ordered another brand 8-12 weeks out.
Interesting.
@@TractorTimewithTim on your shop ttwt for green parts store I see the foam kit and the gator sprayer but not the 3 point sprayer anyway you can link it on there? Love to see if they can get it and ship it as the other guys said I could cancel anytime before they ship
I have asked them to add it. Probably by tomorrow.
how big was this land?
I thought i mentioned that. 5-5.5 acres of lawn.
Does it take a lot of water to keep the 6 acres green in the summer?
It often doesn’t stay green. We do not irrigate.
This spring and summer has been great so far…just enough rain to keep it green.
@@TractorTimewithTim Thanks We have benn in a drought for years here in California. My 5 acres is all brown.
@@TractorTimewithTim mow taller a taller thicker stand of grass helps choke out weeds. I keep my lawn at 5” in summer and it will stay green. Lots of water in the leaf blade. Along with longer leaf shading the soil / roots from drying out.
Great video and set up Tim, but I bet you have almost $2,000 in the sprayer right? Not a cheap option but I guess with a 6 acre yard you do what you have too.
Clover is fantastic for bees Tim you should not spray while its in flower it will kill all the bees We do need bees more then green lawns ! I do love all your videos
Stop the spraying, Tim. You are killing our pollinators with the herbicides used to kill dandelions, clover, etc.
I’d be nervous about spraying chemicals across my lawn when I drink the water from my well below it. It’s probably an overblown concern of mine… but rather be safe then sorry. Agree on the pollinator front, I leave my “weeds” in my lawn and every spring I see a ton of bees. I imagine our upbringing was much different then Tim’s, he grew up on a farm spraying the fields so it’s something he probably isn’t too concerned with since he’s been around it his whole life. Growing up a city boy, I just read the labels and get concerned whenever I consider spraying anything on my lawn.
What is the model number of the sprayer?
It is now a ‘Frontier’ sprayer rather than a Deere branded sprayer. Check the frontier website.
Tim, I would like to see clean up on this unit. Also, the 60 gal PTO unit is no longer available at Green Parts Store. And, the 90 gal unit is 12 volt, not PTO.
The 90 gal unit there is for gators. We’ll get the PTO versions added…likely tomorrow.
@@TractorTimewithTim Good, will check back on the web site.
Im a hour north of you. I didnt have much of a dandelion either. Must of been an off year for them. Clover on the other hand............
Same over here in central IL. Real light dandelion season but clover going crazy. Probably all the cold weather this spring is my guess.
Need to get some pond treatment wouldn’t need much make it look more inviting
We have treated it since this episode. Looks great now.
Any idea what’s happened with theses Deere sprayers?
I have the same one as you have in this video. I don’t have the foam marker option.
I really like this sprayer, I was looking into trying to get a larger version maybe 150 gallon for my 5 series machines.
All I see on the Deere website now is the Frontier sprayers.
Do you have any insight on this?
Did Deere drop these sprayers from their lineup, maybe something happened after superior tech changed hands?
Had one other question for ya, why not just kick the PTO on and off to control your on and off for spraying?
I have mine typically on my 3R or 4R and with my cabs I can’t reach those flow levers at all.
One of the main reasons I only wanted a PTO sprayer, was so I could control my on and off with my PTO switch.
I like to keep the material agitating.
I think they dropped them. They were made by TerraKing. I’m not even sure the ‘Deere licensed Product’ concept exists anymore.
@@TractorTimewithTim Thanks Tim
I called Agri-fab /Superior tech /terraking etc. this morning.
They just told me some stuff carried over others didn't.
They seemed almost as confused as my Deere dealer about what is going on with these Deere sprayers.
I did confirm they are making the Frontier versions that Deere offers and that LS2015 is a good buyable product.
I think the new number for one similar to our 60 gallon is the Frontier LS2006.
My Deere dealer said the old Deere LP model numbers are still show as good numbers, only none in stock at Deere DCs.
All very confusing. All I wanted to do was pretty much what you said you had wanted was a bigger tank and 15 gallon boom. Only I was wanting 150 gallon rather then the 90 gallon. Looks like if I buy the LS2015 it looks similar to what I have but with the Frontier name rather than the Deere name on it, I have to wonder if they cheapened anything up or is it still the same product.
Like you said in the video to get the Deere branded it has to be the best of the best materials. Frontier quite often is a green paint job for some of their stuff.
I have to mix and fill my 60 gallon 4 times to cover my yard. Which as you alluded to with your 60 gallon, just sort of gets old or annoying after a while.
Cheaper solution to the foam is marking dye but then you're going to have a blue lawn for a few days...
..and blue equipment until you wash the sticky stuff off of it. We tried it a couple of years ago in our gator spraying episode. Not impressed!
Anyone know the model number of this sprayer? He never mentions it in the video or description and the JD dealer is acting like they've never heard of it.
I’m not sure it is sold anymore.
Great video. I use the TSC weed killer and mix it at 1qt per 20 gal. I still feel intimidated by the books explaining the rate per acre. I guess I just don’t understand it enough. Are there other you tubers you’d recommend for explaining more about the chemical side of things? I realize that doesn’t fit the target of your channel.
What is intimidating to you?
@@TractorTimewithTim I don’t frequently apply weed control products, so I second guess my application rates. I do find it confusing that the book for my chemicals provides a qt per gallon for things like clover and then per acre application rates for other weeds. I worry that one of these days I’ll kill everything, including family pets by misunderstanding the instructions. :/
Yep a bigger tractor is always better
Nah, harder to maneuver.
Video quality is superb. Good demonstration of a mounted sprayer with high end features.
2-4-D has been around a long time. Unfortunately, it is a herbicide not an insecticide. Having used it for over 50 years it has not reduced the mosquito or fly population around here at all. Bees either for that matter.
The comments about the bee's is that the 2-4-D takes out the clover that the bee's love, not that the 2-4-D directly kills the bee's.
@@stephendixon4619 The comment was don't spray the clover it will kill the bees. Killing an invasive plant species might just send the bees to pollinate a more beneficial or aesthetically pleasing plant. They certainly will not starve over the loss of a few broadleaves in a lawn.
I like clover in my lawn. Thistle is the real bad actor.
Fair enough...each to his own!
Clover is great for yards and a lot easier to maintain as well as provide flowers for bees. Some people are going full clover yard. Feels way nicer to walk on too and fixes nitrogen. I'd rather have a slof lush green clover yard than a yard I spray poison on.
Fair enough. You handle your yard as you like. I'll handle mine as I like. Ok?
If it's green, I pretty much let it grow. I suppose that's why your lawn looks better than mine... well, weed control is on your said, and shade is working against me, sssoooooo... I suppose there is that, as well.
Yea, each to his own. We understand that. It costs money for the chemicals and fertilizers...especially on a larger yard!
If we were swamped with other pressing issues, both financially and from a time standpoint, I wouldn't worry about it.
As it is, I find joy in the yard looking a bit nicer.
Mr Tim you do a great video but my hat is off to the lady with the camera with out her the video would not be possible
Yep! Absolutely correct! Thanks for the kind words.
You know i have a 236" boom, often only use 157" and have 3 sections 40+80+40" and it's wide enough and keeps the boom in balance
Tim, whatever happened to that orange tractor you bought back in the winter?
Still got it …used it in a video this last week.
I wish people would stop putting chemicals on there crops and grass.
2,4d is am amazing broadleaf herbicide. Developed during ww2, it is probably the most studied herbicide and revolutionized agricultural due to its selectively. We simply would not be as fat as we are without it. There is no reason to believe that it affects bees. The evidence suggests that it doesn’t cause cancer either and we have the time and studies to back that up. However I still use a mask and long sleeves when I apply it. Another interesting fact is that 2,4d was an ingredient in Agent Orange during Vietnam.
I buy tractor accessories and tools instead with the money I save not spraying
Sounds good. Certainly a choice…would not need to do it.
But if I killed all the weeds... my yard wouldn't be green anymore. Weeds or 'grass', either looks green to those driving by. Since we have well water, I'll go with weeds and less chemicals.
Fair enough. Enjoy!
To much yard.I'd let the neighbor farm it.
With the pond in the middle, there isn’t much to farm. Kinda stuck with it.
Today I’m going to spray poison all over my property so I can have a better quality lawn that I have to spend more time mowing. We are suppose to have diversity in plant species that is the strength in your piece of ground. Don’t hate you for it but hopefully you know the truth about the soil not just what the product rep is telling you. All the bugs drought and chemical resistant plants come from these practices, we have to do better Tim.
Today I’m going to comment on a CZcams video, illustrating that I know nothing about 2,4-D.
