I watch all of your videos. Those 6000 sprayers were ahead of their time. My father and I have one we use it for spraying soybeans we also have a fast 2400 gallon pull type sprayer on tracks with 120 foot booms . If those older machines get the job done and are paid for who cares. your profit margin is better when you aren't making payments on new equipment. Keep up the good work and stay safe!
So, my Dad is a retired JD engineer/designer….he created the 6000 from a blank piece of paper. This was JD’s first real entry into hicycle sprayers. I saw the first drawings, balsa wood models, wood designs before it ever reached production….and, at the time, it held the record for being one of JD’s longest running machines in production at the Ankeny Iowa plant….nearly 20 years, I believe. There are a lot of cools stories about this machine and what all went into it. My Dad and another guy, named Charlie, spent the better part of their careers on this machine. Amazing how many are still functioning…. A credit to JD.

3rd gear is like "Ludicrous Speed" from the movie Spaceballs the new speed after Warp Speed. LOL Those 6000s are awesome though, a nice mix with all your modern Deere equipment line.
We had a 6000 once without the cushion front that thing could knock the fillings out your teeth if you hit a ditch lol, then I bought a 6500 with the narrow front that was a nice sprayer I sold it a while back
I have one I'm looking to set up just for fungicide. I'm looking at 20 GPA twin jet nozzles...no drops. Wonder your feelings on drop and set up in general. Anything you'd change? Thnx for the video and your input.

Super cool story! Your dad designed a great machine
Greetings from Central Alabama! Enjoyed the video, nothing like going through a Corn field at 13 mph! Thanks for sharing.
Here in Eastern NC these bad boys are ubiquitous. Tobacco farmers love them .
Almost all of the spare parts I buy for these come from North Carolina!
@@6thGenFarmer I can imagine lol . I service one farm rocking six of these .

Holy crap we got one in the shed used to use a lot I could get 300 acre days with it !
Great video Carson! Man that's crazy in 3rd gear! But looks like lots of fun! Keep laughing buddy, stay safe!

We have one with and one without. Both pretty bad, no cushion much worse
Thanks for making a video on them and if you do put a Deere guidance system on one please make a video I would be interested in doing one
I want a new of the 6000 sprayers!

One thing depending on where you live you might need to make a bracket to raise the boom higher.
Nice video sir
Is your big deere sprayer not taller than these machines when the booms are all the way up?
About 16” shorter or more
Does the door ever fly open going across the field? All the 6000’s I’ve ever ran did
Nope. Haven’t had that issues with either of ours
I think I saw you at Barefoot on Saturday 😂
Was there for my brothers bachelor party!
Ever figure out your giant flash drive
Still currently fighting WD. Will probably make a video once it all settles out
@@6thGenFarmer sorry you didn’t like my comment on your video on RUclips today carson
How much corn do yourrun-over and kill?
Basically just where you turn around in the headlands
Those where the thing back in the 80s untill u found a hole in the field then u would get ur brains shook out
You' ve got a/c in the sprayer ? 3e gear?😅 you're flying...
We do have a/c!
Terrifying speed!
Especially in a bumpy field, like most are.
He couldn't work for me he would be fired that's just crazy the way he is driving
