  • Join me as we dive into the world of fertiliser topdressing across the breathtaking landscapes of Otago, New Zealand. In this video, I share my experience of flying at low levels over the rugged terrains, demonstrating what's required to spread fertilizers effectively. I also discuss the lightbar system, a game-changer in ensuring accuracy during our applications.

    Man, you should do Netflix series or similar. I am watching half an hour video about fertilising some fields without skipping...

    you've got a way of making what you do look easy. just flying in that environment looks scary as hell but then all the complicated systems ... wow what a ride. absolutely thrilling. can still remember my one off circuit in the backward facing "cubby hole" of an Airtruk on a Dairy farm in Kaukapakapa North Auckland back in circa 1977. ps hated it , spewed ( all the fert dust of course ... ) like flying with you tho , from comfort of my forward facing lounge chair ! Legend mate.

    Very interesting thanks Jimbo. Always wanted to fly and fly ag but colour blindness meant I could never get a commercial rating. Great to come along for the ride though. Cheers. Stan.

      I had no idea you pay so much attention to the thermals/ridge/wave lift when climbing , good stuff! Sounds like it's all good training for your glider flying career

    • @JimboBurgess
      @JimboBurgess  2 месяца назад +1

      Haha, it sounds like we need to do a swapsies. Your version looks much more complex than throwing fert around 😆

    The topdressing is for hay production? Do the farmers notice streaks if a pass is misplaced? Do you prefer the AT's or the PAC's?

    • @JimboBurgess
      @JimboBurgess  2 месяца назад +1

      Fert for grass for stock 👍 depends on the product as to whether or not you'll notice striping. Both aircraft have strong points, and both suit NZ very well 💪

    I wish I had done that when I was younger instead of driving trucks. I had my private license and I worked on my IFR rating. I should have just went ahead and got my commercial and went to crop duster School. Come to find out the government probably would have paid for it....
