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 wit...

For the love of God, can someone PLEASE tell me what the horizontal LED indicator bar is on the engine cowling??
Sure! Watch this: ruclips.net/video/TlvxtorGo20/видео.html
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!!!!!
Thanks so much!! Yes, there is so much coming at you all at once, at high speeds, and low alt. They have to be focused at every moment. Hope you stick around!
I just seen a crop duster today it’s so cool
Nice!!
Just stumbled on you channel Heck yah I go along fir a ride or 2 might even learn something, too old now for the job, but NEVER on MORE Brain PWR😂
Thanks for watching!
What is the P/N or code for this item?
The SKU is 100156. If you use this link the coupon should auto populate: www.start-stick.com/shop/ref/2/ Thank you!!
Can the pilot update/complete the fields via iPad in the plane?
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.
Wow that was a lot of information that I had no idea about. Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
60 crashes a year. 7 die.
Thanks for watching.
😂 at ho lee shiiit.
haha!
We appreciate the update. Looking forward to the episode on the Cessna. Best Wishes to You, Your Family and Friends.
Thanks so much!
Flightware says the AirTractor's last action date is 2022-10-27. What happened to N5075L? 😕
Tyson had ADS-B when he flew it so I'm guessing that is where that is coming from. Our last season in 75L was 2022.
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 :)👍
Wow, that's wild! Thanks so much for the comment. The Ag Truck is a sweet plane, we're liking it. Perfect for what we need right now.
You guys are great. Hope it's a great season for you and looking forward to following along.
Thank you so much. We appreciate you being 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!
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!
Are you an A and P?
Yes!
Algeria buy this plane from sud Africa
Nice!
Thanks for the upload, good luck with the business growth!
Thanks so much, really appreciate that!
Hello Cally & Tyson. Missed you guys. Welcome back and good luck for the season and the rest of 2024. John from Adelaide here.
Aww thanks!!
After following y’all for a couple years now and being interested in the industry, this year is my first season as a ground loader/handler! Hoping continues to go well and want to be a pilot one day! Howdy from kansas!
Nice, hope you have a great season!!
You both will do good together with your business.
Thank you!
It looks like you guys work together on the planes, thats awesome. Any contents regarding maintenance is nice to see as well as the flying business end of it. Have a great season and looking forward to the C-188 video(s).
We had all intentions of doing some videos this winter on maintenance projects but we just simply ran out of time and we're way too busy. Maybe this fall when we do the annuals we can share a bit of the process!
Thanks for the update. Been looking forward to seeing the two of you. And now plus another aircraft as well as crew! FLY SAFE!
Thanks so much! Appreciate you being here.
Neat explanation
Thanks for watching!
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…
So many things about herbicide that are not easy to love :) We have a few bigger pastures but a lot of them are a 1/4 or so and have crop nearby. It's nice to have the added business though!
So what are your max wind speeds that you can work in?
It really depends on the work, the product, etc. Lots of variables but for fungicide/insecticide its 12-15 mph max.
This lady is natural in front of the camera. Watched her interview about spraying at night in Cali, and what great questions and editing. Good luck this season guys!
Thanks so much for the kind comment! Appreciate it.
HAPPY LANDINGS... AND SPRAY ON !
Thank you!!!
No such thing as a trad wife. All women are feminist. Where men are aggressive, women are manipulative. You're naive if you think she's not using you for your money and cheating on you while you're at work. It's what women do.
Glad to see that things are coming together for you guys, thanks for the update. Believe me, I can relate to your stress. Took my semi truck in to the shop to get a leaking water pump replaced and “oh by the way, your radiator has a leak too which is about $3400 plus labor.” Always something…🙄
Oh man! A small issue is never a cheap or easy fix it seams. Thanks for watching and commenting!! We appreciate you!
@@AgAviationAdventures definitely not! I appreciate you guys as well.
Looking forward to your new season .
Thanks for following along!
Great to hear from y’all!! I can only imagine how much is involved in keeping your business going with so many moving parts. I’ve ran my own company for 22 years, so I can sympathize with you. New people and equipment are always stressful and kind of a crapshoot this day and age. I’m glad you’ve found two good reliable people! People can actually be your greatest asset. I’m looking forward to hearing about the Cessna. Is that a 188? I’m not as familiar with the Cessna Ag rigs. Take care and stay safe! 🤠👍
100% on all fronts!! The team will make or break the operation. We are super lucky this year (and have been in past years as well) and the guys are kicking ass. Yes, the Cessna is a 188. We're excited to do a walk through of it!! It's actually a sweet plane. Thanks for all the support, always!
Good luck guys 👍 Thanks for the update. 🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘🙂
Thank you for watching and commenting!! Means a lot.
yay! glad to see you guys. sure lucked out with the help, that's amazing
We feel incredibly fortunate, that's for sure. It makes things way smoother with a solid crew. Thanks for following along!
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.
Thank you, Gary!! I really appreciate the kind comment and you watching. It was really a fun experience and we'd love to return with a full production crew.
What a collosal waste and inefficient way to spray.
It actually works really well for their needs there.
I live down in the delta and I went to school 5 minutes away from there I just can’t wait to get a license
Nice!!
That’s like when we switch the plane over mid western people don’t do it often
Haha!! For sure.
Very interesting video. Thank you
Thanks for watching!
With a family, not worth risking your life for any amount, unless you don't mind if another man raises your kids
Interesting point. I can't speak to this because we don't have kids but, we know a lot of people who do and have a very healthy family life as well.
True
Glad I'm not the only one!
Had a heli do the field across the road for the first time last year, and one word crazy! They looked like they flew closer to the edge than the planes! Always fun to watch.
Kind of depends on the situation! But a thorough ag pilot, whether fixed or rotor, will cover the entire field.
Did you hear about the pilot that collided with another pilot and was killed in Lubbock Texas? air tractors
Yeah we did. It is a very small industry so we all hear about accidents fairly quickly. We're sending all our thoughts to those involved.
Very good informations about how a helicopter is controlled and how this whole crop spraying job works! I would love to watch some flight footage. But maybe there is and I did not see it. Yet! Thanks from a RC heli freak!!
Thanks!! We didn't get to observe Chas spray a field but we did get to go for a mock spray run in the heli and it was a blast! Thanks for watching!
What's the Part Number?
100156
I had one
Nice!
I think the Thrush packs a good load and can handle the rough strips in No Cal rice. But, the AT is so fast and packs a big load it’s hard to beat if you’re trying to make money. I think it flys weird, but I’ve only flown the 802. Can’t take your eyes off that one😂
For sure!
Good turning that’s the only thing I’m nervous about flying
Thanks for watching!!
You will do it l’m nervous too because I have to go though it too
Thanks for watching!
What are you spraying?
Pasture
What helmet brand is that?
