Update and operation on the homemade DIY hydroseeder I built and use. ↓↓↓Instagram↓↓↓ / dirtbrutesteve #DirtBrute #Hyrdroseed #DIY #Hydroseeder #Homemade
That was good! I enjoy watching what you do and HAVE TO SAY about HYDROSEEDING. I tilled a good section of my yard about 10 years ago. Pulled out all sort of red roots near the surface. Anyway when done and raked I wanted HYDROSEED and couldn't believe the difference in people who do it. THANK YOU - Nice Work!!!
Great video, I have been in business for 28 years . Only piece of equipment we dont own is a hydroseeder. Always sub out but he's up to 16 cents a square foot. Thinking of purchasing turbo turf unit . Here in new England we use wood mulch to prevent wash out . Thanks for sharing
Cool video! One our local landscapers actually spread the seed with a push spreader and then spray the fertilizer and mulch over it. They feel they get better/consistent coverage that way…I have no idea if it’s better or worse but it works for them.
I’ve actually done it that way and you get more coverage but the growth comes out bad I think because it not in the mulch it’s under it . We tried it twice and didn’t like it. If you mix it correctly with the right square footage it should come out good.
Hey Dirt Brute Steve, glad to see you back !!!! I know you are busier than a one legged man in a butt kicking contest, would it be possible to get a detailed parts list other than tank and frame, so I can build one off these? Thank you sir
You basically just need a bunch of banjo 2 inch valves I got off Amazon. 2 inch irrigation hose And a bunch of pvc pipes . Best thing to do is sit down and figure out what you’re gonna do Exactly and then start looking through Amazon
Hey Steve, just wondering if you have a video (or could make a video) on why you changed out your original agitation manifold? Did the 1 inch lines not work or just wanted more flow to roll the tank? I understand the reason for moving the jets to the legs for sure. I'm going to be putting my own skid together next week up here in Canada and found your video really helpful! Just want to make sure it's going to be fully functional first shot. Thanks!
We do 12-17 pounds per 1000sq foot of seed and the mulch pellets are one bag per 150 gallons of water. Sometimes we use a blue grass, Rye & fescue mix. Or just rye depending on what the job is . You just have to go to your local supplier see what’s available in read the mixtures on the bags or the bales
My new style shoot across the bottom and rolls the barrel. Check out the video on the upgrades ruclips.net/video/KWRgtbzfzJo/видео.htmlsi=UPOG8W4XkVL1BlVC
@@DirtBrute sweet thanks. I was quoted for 12k and because I am located in Greece adding shipping costs, import taxes etc on top I am sure it would end up costing us over 20-25k. Sure a hydroseeder like that can be built with much less.
@@DirtBrute exactly my thoughts as well. Even with current supply chain issues still it wouldn't cost more then a 5k sources locally to me now vs 20-25k
Well here’s the thing. I don’t charge per square foot . I triple the cost of materials. I know a lot of guys around here are getting anywhere from $.18-$.22 a square foot. I try not to do small jobs. The reason is for example. I priced a small job $.18 per square foot one time and it worked out to be $270.Then when I went to go buy the materials it was $336 Just for me to buy the stuff. I guess you could double the cost of the materials and still be OK

I'm glad you went over the hydroseeder and tank stuff - good information. Hope all works out on the 315 case.
Thanks a lot of people have sent me messages asking how it works !! Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching sonny!
I gotta step up my game, still running around with seed and straw. Good explanation of the hydro seeder
😂. Thanks for watching!!

Thanks for watching! We are on cape cod ! I sub out the big stuff but first job I did after building this paid for it !

i hope you get a patent on that bad boy lol.....thumbs up my friend !!
Lol. Thanks for watching

thanks for sharing your setup. What have you found with your pump and plumbing and hose sizes?
ruclips.net/video/KWRgtbzfzJo/видео.htmlsi=akzGE322Wx2OLQA1. I did a lot of upgrades. Check out the new video!

The 1” lines don’t roll the tank as good and the 1” elbows clogged.
Hi do you think it would make much difference running a separate motor and pump for the jet agitator and another for the application hose
It would probably work great but you would be having to maintain 2 engines and more plumbing .plus it would take up a lot more room and weigh more .
I can’t seem to get the pellets to turn into a slurry they come out in chunks and clog up my tip.
It’s takes about 45 minutes of mixing on full throttle before they start to break down.
what all do you put into the mix and ratio? in the process of building one of these in KY
We do 12-17 pounds per 1000sq foot of seed and the mulch pellets are one bag per 150 gallons of water. Sometimes we use a blue grass, Rye & fescue mix. Or just rye depending on what the job is .

What is happening with the 315 excavator what is it's the problem?
It’s in court .when they ok me to talk about it I’ll make a video
what size hose is that and what do you have for a tip ?
It’s an 1/14” hose with a 3/4 brass tip
What is the name and type of pump are you using?
I just changed it to a harbor freight pump . If you go to the Channel and in the play list there is another video of it ! Thanks for watching
Интересный канал 😁 подписался👍 привет из России 🇷🇺 👋
🤷♂️. I’m not sure what you saying but thanks for watching
I say cool channel👍 subscribed! Greetings from Russia
@@SLAVONGT thank you !
Did you angle the agitators up of shoot them straight across?
My new style shoot across the bottom and rolls the barrel. Check out the video on the upgrades ruclips.net/video/KWRgtbzfzJo/видео.htmlsi=UPOG8W4XkVL1BlVC
Thank you
@@DirtBrute I’m making a hydro seeder and I was wondering how you reached into the tank to tighten up the agitator nozzles?
@@tmr1331 I put the bulkhead fitting on a plumbing snake then ran the snake to the hole with the nut on the outside. The tightened the nut
@@DirtBrute thank you
would be great if you do a video with parts list so DIY's can build their own hydroseeder
That’s a good idea! I’ll try to work on that
@@DirtBrute sweet thanks. I was quoted for 12k and because I am located in Greece adding shipping costs, import taxes etc on top I am sure it would end up costing us over 20-25k. Sure a hydroseeder like that can be built with much less.
@@digcutkos yes I spent $2,300 two years ago
@@DirtBrute exactly my thoughts as well. Even with current supply chain issues still it wouldn't cost more then a 5k sources locally to me now vs 20-25k
What size jets did you use?
I switched them to 2” and moved them to the bottom
How many square feet does 700gl cover
Depends thickness of the mix but the biggest job I ever did was 10,000 square feet with 150 gallons left over .
I always let engines run at risk of clogging the pump until it’s only clean water in tank.
What size diameter is your discharge hose?
1-1/4”
Thank you
Yo bro how much you charge for sqfoot?
Well here’s the thing. I don’t charge per square foot . I triple the cost of materials. I know a lot of guys around here are getting anywhere from $.18-$.22 a square foot. I try not to do small jobs.
