I had the wonderful opportunity to ride back seat in an Air Tractor a few weeks ago. My videos are not to this quality, but the ride sure was. I don't think most people realize just how high off the ground the cockpit is because I wasn't the biggest fan of climbing up to the window, shuffling along the ledge to the rear seat with my arms tucked in the top, then "swinging" in. Once I was in and buckled up, it was a blast. The getting out was worse than the climb in and I was starting to think they were going to have to sell the plane with me still in it. I've been watching crop dusting videos ever since. I think this is an addiction. Great video and your music choice was spot on. Thanks!
1974-1976 I worked as the chemical mixer and loader for the AG Cat, it was a bi plane with a radial engine. Talking about high power lines, I seen the pilot hit the lower power line near ca I-5 he slid the ag cat so the prop would slice though the power line. The light show was a welding arc times a 1000, heart stopping.. he was able to land the ag cat only damage was one of the spray booms and prop had minimal damage.
Michael Goodwin my pops caught the tail of an ag cat on some lines amazing he made it through then got out of the cat and walked to the house to borrow the phone (this was the 80’s)
How do ag pilots learn to deal with power lines? It seems incredibly dangerous, is it a 'grab your nuts and go for it' thing or is there a build up to that?
An amazing flight!! Would you mind If I used a section of your video for a video I'm making about crops, it's non commercial video I'm making for some fun and I'd credit you in the description, but no worries if not, thanks!
@@valleyagpilot1283 They're spelled Davidon, and they're fantastic. They seem to get about the same kill as an electrostatic setup but with a lot less hassle. Can't ever seem to keep the fan blades intact around the belly though.
that tool for washing bottles is awesome! I wish i had something like that for the golf course!
Stunning video Thanks. i have been a private pilot for 40 years and still in awe of the skill of Ag pilots.

One day we will look back on this and think damn, we did some crazy shit back in the day.

The small prop on the bottom of the plane. Is that to drive a pump for the payload you're spraying?
Muito bom esse canal

Nice.
Damn RUclips muting it for the music.
Yeah it got copyright claims against it so the owner of the copyrighted music could run adds on my video so the music got removed

Respect troops, 🏴SCO
Do they use air tractors to farm air potatoes to put in the chips bags?

@@valleyagpilot1283 Interesting... what about when they go under? Only the more experienced guys?
Just a game of limbo how low can you go
I have some questions for you on becoming an ag pilot, is there a good way to get in touch?
what's the altitude when you over the crops ?50ft agl? 30ft agl?
Roughly 10fr agl

If it's for private use who gives a fuck about permission.
Best Job in the World very sad that we are having These Planes in Germany 😓
Ich glaube du hast " not " vergessen :)
Nice vid but very sad with poor audio tracks.. Didn't play Laura Branigan...

Davidaun. I'm pretty sure that's misspelled but it's close enough

lower chentrails :D
Video without music, please.

save your money.....I was told they just spray water to save money
If that’s true farmers would see that they are failing to kill weeds, pests, etc. Yet that get hired...must mean they are doing a good job
Another aviation video with awful music
Ok boomer
too bad you ruined a great video with stupid music. yes i have a mute button, and yes i missed out on great turbine engine sound. re do it
