First time watching one of your videos. My family owns a small fertilizer bagging operation and every time I hear a RUclipsr talk about fertilizer I think man it would be cool to see our bag pop up! Well that’s what happened today! We hand stack every bag and take pride in every bag we send out!! Thank you for buying our fertilizer(Sur-Gro)!!!
Out here in Oregon I put my seed in the hopper with the fertilizer. That way your seed will likely be in the same crack as the fertilizer. One more pass to harrow it in and you're back in the barn before noon with fuel to spare.
Each seed finds their fertilizer kernel life partner before exiting the hopper and they hold hands as they jump into the tube and fly out into the world.
use some foam tape between the mount and the tube to seal up the void area - the base is made for a smaller diameter tube. Another tip is drive around on your bad boy buggy with it pointed out the side. Saves foot traffic. Good video!
First time I have watched one of your video’s and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I have had the blower spreader for about a year now and I think it works awesome. We cover decent size areas, I just ride on the back of of a side by side and spread away. When it’s empty the seed is right there to fill it back up. Not sure where you are in the country, but we used it to frost seed some larger areas with clover last spring and it worked awesome for that as well!
Hello Fall Line Ridge. You could use self stick weather stripping to seal the space on the blower. Kinda like a gasket. Hope it helps! Thank you for the great content!
Good idea. Also a simple piece of rubber the size of that base plate could be slid under the plate. That way, you can have your regular blower available for use when you're not spreading. Just take off the seed bin and place in the rubber seal.
@@chrisberry9016 I think the flow control in the adapter closes completely. No need to add a seal.... Doesn't need to be airtight or anything. Even the blower tube sections aren't sealed or gasketed. It's really just a loose tunnel to guide the air. If the flow control gate in the adapter closes all the way (an OFF position), that's really all it needs.
Great video Wes. You work really hard on your land and you deserve great results. Maybe you should build another pole barn, or pole barn extension, to house all the gadgets you’ve accumulated! 😂😂 You and your family take care and stay safe. Stan
Looks like a handy accessory for your blower thanks for sharing that with us it looks like a fast way to spread grass seed in your yard I might give it a try. Thanks for sharing your videos with us and God bless
That hopper you were sent looks like it works really well. And, let’s face it, a new toy to play/work with. I hope it works well. In New England we call it a disk harrow. Whatever it’s called, it works.
Damn I miss the family farm!!! About two years ago my father sold it from under me. The wife, our youngest daughter (who's now 19), and myself were living on and taking care of it. Really nice Southeastern Texas farm. Stocked pond, good size creek in the back that had water all year, and decent game. We loved it!! I've never gotten a clear answer to why he made that move. Money was definitely not the issue. We didn't make a ton of money off it. But we weren't trying to either. We didn't have to work it to feed the family. Nor was it a money pit. Personally, I think it was to do with his wife, who's not my mother thank God!!! Anyway, thanks for bringing some happy memories!! Good luck with the food plot!
That was fascinating, Wes! I was holding my breath when you had a camera mounted under your three-point hitch..... Was hoping it would hold on tight, otherwise it would meet its demise under those blades, lol!👍
@@rp9000 Paintballs are pretty heavy compared to seed. Plus, a blower tube is like 4" diameter. They'd more likely fall out the end of the tube, rather than fly out.
I'm thinking I could use one for spreading salt this winter! First year snow plowing with my JD 1023E, it would be nice to follow up behind that with a powerful salt spreader!
That’s just awesome and I’ve only seen you take it out of the box. What a fantastic idea. Beats the heck out of put it in the bag and walking back and forth cranking and cranking and cranking and half of the seeds hitting you
Hey Bud that's a pretty nifty blower attachment. Thank you for showcasing it I think it's perfect for what I need done . ya know, In the back of my mind I can't help but laugh a little because I just know somebody's goin to turn this thing into some sort of wicked airsoft gun. Thanks again friend and God bless
You should clean up the spreader and paint with some rust killer or just some diesel to hold that rust at bay... always a problem with these spreaders. Really enjoyed watching this - takes me back to my fathers farm.
and you do not put on that much seed for a food plot. I doubt that he put on 50 pounds total. That is likely far too much. He likely only put on 10 to 20 lbs.
The mixtures have the advantage of having plants that become palatable for deer at different times of the fall/winter. That keeps the deer coming for the entire deer season.
I saw this on my home feed now I’m subscribed due to your instruction, visuals and topics. Your hard work should pay off. I hope so. Do you show bow hunting? You said you were looking for arrowheads. Thanks for your efforts. I greatly enjoyed the shots from underneath the tractor.
@@falllineridge I never had the opportunity to hunt. I spent my years in the Coast Guard tracking not hunting drug runners. Both used guns but for different purposes. My best trophy picture was sitting on top of 5 tons uncut coke. They wouldn’t let me keep any for my wall for some reason 😁. Looking forward to see the plot grow.
I'd probably add a handle up near the hopper so I'd have a foregrip. I'd imagine a full hopper throws the weight balance off and it gets awkward after a while.
At first I thought it would make foam with detergent. That would be handy for grass fires. I've got about an acre of compost pile rows I need to rotary hoe and cover crop. This will be perfect. Might use the hopper, and gate from an old hand seed spreader. Though this solution looks like a lot less gin arising around..
Seems like a great idea, my concern is the hopper size being too small. A large job will lose time refilling and a small job can easily be spread by hand. Im thinking of rigging this with a smaller flexible hose and mounting it to the front of a wheelbarrow full of seed. When the hopper is empty i can easily scoop from the wheelbarrow that is also carrying the blower.
I heard you say you can't walk through the field without looking for arrowheads. Do you have any videos of you looking for arrowheads or the stuff you have found?
Nice plot nice to see people feeding wildlife. Use a piece of Ridgid pipe Attach a section of chain-link fence and drag it Behind the tractor works well for sowing seeds and leveling grade
Growing up in south ga on a farm ive always heard it called a disc or harrow. So I googled it and it appears a disc is a type of harrow, which is anything that breaks up smooth ground. Also fertilizer, particularly corn fertilizer/nitrogen price has doubled in the past few months, so corn will be sky high next year or farmers will be going out of business, which has already been happening.
We have plough machine on my dad's farm made back in the 1970's that does everything you just did....... but in one pass. Your burning so much fuel to achieve something that can be done in one operation.
It looked like the hopper would fall off with anything other than some very light seed in it. Then you'd have a mess of expensive seeds everywhere. Maybe after a review with a few uses.
you should reach out to gabe brown...he's a holistic farmer from Montana who developed techniques to manage land using plants...for what you looking to do I think is the process would save you a ton of money each year...
@@OysterPir8 no but there was a lot of videos of confrences he has done over the years ruclips.net/video/uUmIdq0D6-A/видео.html he even has a ted talk ruclips.net/video/QfTZ0rnowcc/видео.html
Just curious if that mix has human edible products in it as well? I don't have deer in my region but it would nice to put in some ground cover that I could eat as well
Its been a long time since I drove a tractor. I see you got two of them. That spreader looks like one I used in 1958 to spread corn not fertilizer. I can't say I ever saw a disk-harrow move that fast. You got salt? I could have used that seed spreader when I seeded the top of Oatman Mountain with Lyman Love Grass.
Free product IS a kickback. Payment in cash, credit or product is payment. How did you meter the seed with this? Multi grain distribution must be a challenge as seeds are different densities & travel differently. Update please
Hey there. I was thinking you'd get on the tractor to blow that seed instead of walking the entire plot. Maybe that's a 2 person job in itself maybe?? But it looked good from here.

Hey Fall Line, I've had good success using a cut piece of innertube as a seal when the pieces don't fit perfectly! Nice blower attachment!
use some foam tape between the mount and the tube to seal up the void area - the base is made for a smaller diameter tube. Another tip is drive around on your bad boy buggy with it pointed out the side. Saves foot traffic. Good video!
foam tape is pretty smart...that company seems to want to make it a simple product so maybe send them a note about including some in the box...

Sorry to hear of that unfortunate event. Reminds me of “Rain on the Scarecrow” by John Mellencamp
Step mothers, will steal their husbands kids blind.
I immediately started thinking smaller hole in the tube, hopper filled with gasoline, igniter at the tip, fun for the whole family.
I was thinking similar. When it’s burn day, you could light stuff off much faster. That or catch on fire and die horribly. Whatever, hold my beer. 😂
Now you are on to something lol
Kerosene maybe.
That was fascinating, Wes! I was holding my breath when you had a camera mounted under your three-point hitch..... Was hoping it would hold on tight, otherwise it would meet its demise under those blades, lol!👍
It's a risk but I like the results!
Could you possibly show us some the arrowheads you have found?
Any way you slice it you got it for the right price. Great video Wes, thumbs up.
Australians could use those as tools against tyranny. Fill full of small projectiles
Best plot video I've seen next to Jeff,great job! Thanks for the information
Be safe this season, and everyday
Wow, thanks for that compliment, Jeff is a pro!
I honestly thought he would turn it into a nerf gun or ping pong ball shooter... but definitely enjoyable to watch.
I thought he’d be shooting some big ass bubbles!

Love the camera placements. :)

It works great...I think it's best on 1/2 acre or smaller plots though.
Nice job, interesting video thanks Wes! Stay safe & well. 👍👍
Excellent video. So the food plots you’re planting, is that for the wildlife only? Thanks for sharing. God Bless.
They are. A lot of it is edible for people (turnips, kale, collards) though.

As soon as I saw this I instantly thought of putting paint balls in it
It has come full circle
The first leaf bolwers were backpack seed spreaders with the hopper removed
Really? I definitely didn't know that.
I'm not sure why your not using that fertilizer spreader for the seed as well?
Because blower hopper!
and you do not put on that much seed for a food plot. I doubt that he put on 50 pounds total. That is likely far too much. He likely only put on 10 to 20 lbs.
Outstanding!
That blower thing is cool!!👍🏼👍🏼
Help me understand: what's the purpose of the seed mixtures, as opposed to row sowing or another form of planting?
The mixtures have the advantage of having plants that become palatable for deer at different times of the fall/winter. That keeps the deer coming for the entire deer season.
Your editing is top tier.

Might use the hopper, and gate from an old hand seed spreader. Though this solution looks like a lot less gin arising around..
Are you using a spyderco edc knife?
Also, the price you pay for fertilizer is lower compared to here in Sweden when buying by the sack.
It's a Benchmade 556.
Not to difficult to build at home a seed feeder. Thanks for the idea.
ya got any statS on distances your leaf blower throws the seed and what seed throws further? obviously lightest seed further
I love how the tachometer swings the "wrong" way on the Ford, reminds me of the Cobra.
It's still clockwise. It just starts at 3 instead of 9.
Do you think the metering gate will close enough, to use the attachment to disburse Sevin dust?
Wow, that would be awesome...
Maybe, that'd be a heck of an idea to try.
Worm drive hose clamps would probably work instead of the stretched rubber
And might make it conform better to the size of the blower tube. Great idea.
Cable ties

Yep!
Nice plot nice to see people feeding wildlife.

Ford's are really good tractors. Looks like you will have some good hunting this year too!
Looks good looks real real good
Can I ask what is the seeding for? Hunting?
i always called it a disc harrow. so as far as i’m concerned you’re correct either way.
A disc is a disc and a harrow is usually pulled behind the disc. Two totally different implements
Now THAT is cool !!!!!
Growing up in south ga on a farm ive always heard it called a disc or harrow. So I googled it and it appears a disc is a type of harrow, which is anything that breaks up smooth ground. Also fertilizer, particularly corn fertilizer/nitrogen price has doubled in the past few months, so corn will be sky high next year or farmers will be going out of business, which has already been happening.
paint it all black and call it a tactical seed spreader, thatll garner it some attention. pretty great idea.
Great sharing
I loved watching 😉
I'm curious on accuracy of spread, especially the fertilizer.
It does look like a good plot. Now for the turkeys
We have plough machine on my dad's farm made back in the 1970's that does everything you just did....... but in one pass. Your burning so much fuel to achieve something that can be done in one operation.
what do you plant for the kitchen?
Tomatoes, corn, etc. That's just in the spring and summer though.
I like the idea for seeding hard to reach areas where i cant walk with a seeder
My first thought when I saw the thumbnail was that this attachment was for fogging mosquitoes.
Cool device! I’m gonna get one and try it with paint balls 😬
The disk did a nice job prepping the field.
A good idea to consider cut the triple 17 with something like a 6l6l6, mucho cheaper.

Reminds me of paintball. Made basically the same thing when I was a kid for that.
I am assuming you can broadcast anything; urea fertilizer, grass seed, etc… as well as the mixed vegetable seed you did in the video…any feedback?
Oh yeah, someone else suggested rock salt for icy driveways. Lots of options.
@@falllineridge that’s a great idea!
Just curious if that mix has human edible products in it as well? I don't have deer in my region but it would nice to put in some ground cover that I could eat as well
Most definitely. Radishes, turnips, kale, etc. All edible.
Would it work for road salt in the winter....?
I don't see why not.

Holy hell!!
Where is the chase, and how do we cut to it?!?
Looks like the blower attachment is doing great but wouldn't the fertilizer spreader do as well?
It works great for spreading large amounts of seed. This was only about 62lb, so it would have been overkill.
I can smell and taste the venison steaks, chops and backstrap now. Plus jerky - oh man!!!!
dang it! i thought it was a paintball attachment. like a canon!
New subscriber, need more American made product highlights please.
Bet it will work great for grass seed.
I might get one to salt my driveway in winter lol
That would be a fun confetti blower for outside events‼️
I was thinking it was a sand-blaster, as some on YT have made "pop-bottle" sand blasters.
Hey there. I was thinking you'd get on the tractor to blow that seed instead of walking the entire plot. Maybe that's a 2 person job in itself maybe?? But it looked good from here.
