Dads back. So good to see him recovering. Missed his word to the wise!
Thank You... My wife was an Iowan Farm Girl...we live in Alaska now. GOD will not put you through more than he has given you gifts to succeed
You can’t keep a good man down. It’s good to see your dad out. Hope he doesn’t do too much. Don’t need him to have another injury, but I can understand it in his blood being out working outside with his animals and his land. My very best to both of you and praying that all will continue to heal well.
How is your wife and child doing? So glad to see the sun shining there. Love and prayers 💜😇
What a motto for all farmers this year " Hit the Diff and pray we go all the way"
Loved seeing the Ginger Warrior!!! I hope the bumpy ride didn't bother his back. A ton of best wishes to him and the whole family!!!
So wonderful to see the father and son team together again! Okay Mr. Pemberton why are you looking 10 years younger? Glad to see you out and about and looking healthy and rested. We’ve missed you. Tom you’ve become quite the business man the way you can put together your business plans for the farm and prioritize what needs to happen. Love your videos and love the way you explain how you see your year and what your goals are. Say hello to Joanna and give that handsome boy of yours a hug for me. ❤❤
Nice to see the Ginger Warrior out and about. Well done on getting out in the fields despite the wet.
I love watching you with your dad. The knowledge he is passing on to you is worth so much for the future. It just makes me so happy watching you both together 🥰.
I know time isn’t something you have to spare but it’d be well worth putting a set of flaps/shields down the front of your fert spinner to stop all the muck and water getting into all the nooks & crannies. 👍😎
The Battle continues and you have the Ginger Warrior at your side. That CASE is ACE!!!🤣 Tom I think Fatherhood has improved your singing voice!
Nice to see you so excited to get going with field work!!
It’s great to see you both farming again .
It is good to see you guys are back on the fields.
Thank you Tom for sharing your farm. Love watching your channel.
It great that you're dad is back good to to see him again
Hard case! I couldn't help but notice the "fence tester knife" which is exactly what I have sitting in the tractor for all those little jobs that call for a knife... but, we are on the other side of the world! Regards from New Zealand. Heading into winter here, hope you guys have a brilliant spring and summer!
Good luck with everything on the farm ahead & stay safe 👍👍👍
ask olly blogs for an old combine section and weld it to a length of .5 - .75 inch pipe to cut the bottom bags ...will stop your knife going rusty
Good job Sir. Good to see dad again. 😊
YES, it was nice to see your dad Tom. This was a fantastic video 😊
Great video Tom and nice to see your dad up and out and keeping a eye on you 👏👏👍👍
Good to see your dad back Tom hope Jo is well to
Great to see your dad back and looking well we’ve missed him great video Tom keep them coming and Happy Farming
Fair play, u’ve done a good job in some challenging conditions there Tom.
Lovely to see your Dad on his feet and out in the cab with you!
Thanks for the video Tom BeWell and TakeCare ✌️
Another great video mate thanks for showing us how your farming life is going 👍
The Warrior's Return! (And he's looking well 👍🏻)
Thank you Tom ....... you DO a great job. Machines are for work, n getting the job done , dont be bothered about the muck.I Bless you.
Great to see the ginger warrior back in action. Some man.
Ginger Warrior is looking well,nice to see him back
Al way enjoy seeing your dad back at it. He’s soooo smart!❤
Lincolnshires roads are full of tractors, choppers, sprayers etc etc and you know what.......its fantastic
Good to see tom out farming
Well done Ginger Warrior...and well done Tom... I hope Joanna is getting her health back and Harvey is growing well...😁🌠
Amazingly straight lines for a tractor with no GPS. Great video as always 🎉
Back to the wet farming I love it. Glad to see the ginger guy up and around. I have to be honest seeing the two of you and the tractor on that one part really makes me sentimental for when I learn to drive a tractor with my grandfather way back before Tom was born, happy cows everybody. Be well be you.
A good start Tom👍 here's hoping the does shine a lot more. Love the drone shots👌
So great to see you back on the fields, or should I say lagoons. Lots of water. Not too bad though. That new field looks interesting. All kinds of ups and downs.
Thanks for sharing!❤
Fabulous video Tom. It's great to see you out in the feilds at last let's hope that blooming rain has stoped and they will dry out. Thank you for showing us . Great to see your Dad up and about he is such a wise man. Hope all is well with Jo, Harvey and mam. Also how great it is to see 2 young lasses in the farming industry what a great team they make 😊 and Luke ofcourse 😊. All the best 💜
Love that Ginger Man! What a worker! Such an inspiration for us older folk!!!! lol
I pray the fields dry and you can make grass!
Great video Tom . Nice to see the Ginger Warrior looking well
Hi Tom, I’m not sure what way yous are required with slurry storage over there but would u not think about an open lagoon, and ur slurry still go into ur tower to get processed/cleaned and pump all the slurry from the tower into the lagoon, or you could put an extra few rings on the slurry tower but it prob wouldn’t be sufficient enough storage by adding that little onto it
Great to see "The Ginger Warrior" back in action! Would you consider paving a roadway round the back on the dry-cow shed to keep the machinery on - save tracking the ground.
great to hear from the ginger warrior great video tom
Happy days
So good to see you're dad back. I didn't say anything but i was really worried for him as I'm proof of when ops like that go very wrong.
im sorry for your bad weather i am from south Germany and we just did the 1.Cut last weekend and it was a very good one
Another very interesting video Thank you good to see Ginger Warrior out 😊😊😊😊
Tom for more slurry storage you could investigate if your slurry store could be extended up by another ring
well done tom, you didnt get stuck lol, cant wait for cows to go out xx
Hi Tom, great to see your Dad back up and about. A set of dual wheels all around wouldn't go astray on that ground.
So when are you gonna tell us about the GPS system you've chosen? 😊
That’s what I was thinking, white box on the roof 👍
Too bad they cannot make a self-cleaning tractor 😊. Love the drone footage and music 👍😊👍 Hope your Dad is feeling well
Morning Tom. We put duel tyres on the back of the tractor when spreading in the spring. Tyres hardly make a mark.
Wooohoooooo all done!
Got to love a farmer, always on the lookout for a grant
Fair play Tom with the spreading
I didn't realise you had an auto steer system on your tractor, Tom! I've got a block of land, which is heavier, and I've just overseeded a few patches in some permanent pasture which had suffered from wet weather, with my grass harrow seeder, such a handy thing to have. Also, I have about 18 acres with a large area of that has just gone brown and died off, never had standing water on it but just been so saturated for months. So its getting re seeded asap.
That new field looks like an old golf course. would be a great pasture for the sheep or cows.
Those big bags look so much easier than humping cwt bags into the spreader.
Ollie blogs has a section from a mowerbar welded to a piece of steel to cut the bags. I would say using the same principle but on a shovel handle cut with a circular saw and bolted through both sides, it would be more ergonomic to use. Good to see your dad back in action. Keep up the good work.
What a job!! Good days ahead…finally… yeah 😅
Your dad is looking well, hope he's not doing too much
Good to see your Dad back. Conditions still challenging. it is well past time for spreading for silage.The Case travelled well. We found here that the heavy grass covers minimized tracking while spreading . As i have been busy lately did I miss your conclusions on Super soil ? Didn't seem to do much for us last year
It's much better to get the fertilizer on early even if wet than to wait for perfect field conditions. You made the absolute right choice by going now!
Great to see the ginger guy is doing well
Happy to see the Ginger Warrior back. It's still too bloody wet and horrible out there. But there is work to be done.
Demo an APV unit for your seeding needs. Multiple configuration available and you can add on to existing harrows. Real simple to calibrate and use.
Great to see u in the fields Tom before u know u will be cutting grass
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, ideas and videos. Great to see your dad getting active. Remembering videos from the past where your dad was saying your fields are too wet because the canals can’t drain. Is this a similar situation. Was wondering if it’s a problem still impacting your farm, would you be able to put in a levee besides the canals and route your drainage tiles to pumps. You might need to increase your solar to cover the cost to run the pumps but seems to me it might be an investment that would pay off in the long run. Wishing you and your family the best.
Glad to see the Ginger Warrior and hear his words of wisdom. The "new field" is the one you used to use near the cemetery isn't it? Needs must Tom the grass requires till to grow/flourish - another yearly task completed, not too long till 1st cut now.
That’s right yeah… I do explain it in this video but cut it out becasue I thought the video was long enough. Will explain properly very very soon!
Great to see the Ginger Warrior out with you and that you didn't bounce him around too much. If that "New Field" you've taken on doesn't work out to your satisfaction it would make a great nine hole golf course or pitch and put. Can you get a sports grant for diversification 🤔😉.
Hi Tom, If you could pick up a set of duals for the back of the tractor to reduce the compaction levels for the first spread of the year might be worth it. Just a suggestion.
If you are ripping a new field, then will you mark out where the very damp spots are and check, replace drains in that area? Nice video
Looks like you can grow rice on your fields. Glad your dad is back and doing well
Hi Tom, so glad to see you doing field work. If you can get the slurry grant, and add the bubbler with the seperator, will you be able to cut back on, or forgo buying fert? If so, that savings should definately be part of the equation. I feel so educated having watched your videos for several years. Thanks so much for taking the time to share all of this information with us.
Nice seeing you and your dad together in a tractor, bet you both thought that day might not happen again. You need one of those Amphibious BVS vehicles for your fields, go anywhere and have really wide pads so the ground pressure is a minimum, plus they're really cool. It is my vehicle of choice but the wife won't let me buy on, perhaps because a) we don't have the space to park it and b) I have absolutely no use for it at all. And looking at your fields you could always try and grow rice, understand that that plant loves water.😂🤣👍
Hopefully you get the grant Tom. .
Hi Tom like other people have said good to see dad up and about any plans for gps for fert spreading etc hope Joe and Harvey are OK how you doing mate stressful year for you Tom with weather and dad op plus general life getting in way
I feel for you I never had to deal with all that wet land 😢
Milk collecting yard next to your cow house. Hang cattle house gate opposite side and link with collecting yard gate. Cows can go into cattle house and not disturb you sowing fertiliser.
You have some fancy seat covers for the case. Father left hie walking stick in the cab!!!
Current store is 19mx4.3m you could rebuild at twice the height in the same place or take the opportunity to move it to the other side of the roadway. This area could then be a maze clamp in the future. You already have a large part of it with a concrete base. +25% diameter = + 56% capacity. +50% diameter = + 125% capacity So if you double the height as well then this gives you 1350gallons (4.25x current capacity)
nice to see the ginger one out and about
Nice auto steer setup!!
Turns out south west (apples) also concerned to drive on an orchard, appreciate not the same as live stock but weather sucks but interested like you... how to make the right call... it is what it is!
Hello Tom, have you ever thought of Scarifying your fields, it will put tiny hole in the soil to help with drainage. Nice to see the Ginger Warrior is back and looking Good. XXX
Yeah, they do something like that with golf courses. And probably sports fields.
That would be aeration not scarifying
Watched the "Hoof GP" guy recently. It was very entertaining as well!!
Good to seedad up and about hope his back is good and he dont do to much yet
You need somewhere to store everything including your tractors Andy machinery and somewhere to wash them keeping them clean and well greased etc
Anybody no the song when Tom is spreading fert great too see the warrior in good form
25:34 great job
Tom, looks like the top link needs shortening a little and it doesn't look level either. You will end up with stripes
Looks wet Tom looks like the Trimble GPS be handy for the mowers and the drone shots this silage campaign and for helping keeping the width right with the dribble bar. Now you have it might be worth spreading till at 24m less wheeling you might not need to have to change the spreader discs to go to 24m depending on which ones you have
Nitram is still available and made in Billingham, which is equally important for supplying many industries with pressurised carbon dioxide, including the beverage and slaughterhouse and hospital industries. You really should consult your spreader’s calibration tables or even do your own calibration for different fertilisers in order to get an even spread width and application rate. Guessing can result in a complete waste of money and your neighbours laughing their heads off looking as your stripy grass pattern due to over application and alternating under application. Also I’m sure that Kuhn could easily accurately spread at 18 to 25m bout widths. You really do need sat-nav to keep a consistent and accurate spread width anyway, going from the drone footage. One of the best £1000 you will ever spend on a piece of equipment if you can’t judge wide bouts by eye. You could also usefully increase yields and avoid waste in on outer borders by having a border spreading kit so that you would keep a half width from the boundary while avoiding throwing past the boundary. Otherwise you are only spreading a reduced rate and wasting fertiliser into hedge bottoms and potentially water courses.
The field is partially submerged. Getting it on the field was the priority.
Guidance systems are on the grant as well
Fert, muck and slurry I would have thought would be the priority and not looking to scalp fields this year with the mower. Also spending that time trying to drain the fields. Assume you have calculated the pit area and how much that will increase tank space and are still short?
