What you and other farmers do to get food on our tables is really admirable Eleanor, combining at 3 am shows just how dedicated you are , thanks for all your hard work every harvest season .

Hi my name is Anthony from Scotland It's my fest time seeing you on KZbin fantastic seeing British farmers doing farm work and may I say your seriously sweet and beautiful ❤

There’s lots of them out there 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

Love those big balers , what awesome machines .

When I was a fire officer we were going to a fire call down a single track road. We met an elderly woman driving her car and both stopped. I turned off the blue lights as she was panicking. She couldn’t reverse her car & didn’t even try! I had to jump out of the cab - take the wheel of her car and reverse it back down the lane!

Story but some of these huge farm trailers & tractors are far to big for country lanes and roads

If she didn't want to drive on the bank...... she could have backed up into that drive! less that 30 yards away! You couldn't move she had 2 options!

Legend.

Don’t understand why people would do that

One of those drivers that think their car is 2 feet wider than it actually is !

Eleanor you did well there it could have been very awkward you kept your cool which sometimes is the best way but some of these drivers today have no common sense it was fairly obvious you couldn’t get through it’s not easy hauling straw through tight Country lanes with big tractors and trailers like yours I must say your very organised with your straw carting it’s great watching you and Eleanor don’t cart it all before we come down before long don’t work to hard and keep up the the good work X

Living in mid-Cornwall & riding an Ebike, I use the lanes, byways & tracks to avoid riding on main roads: Ergo, I meet plenty of contractors' big green machines - The most entertaining being the 5-furrow ploughs that prune both hedges as they go. The guys are pretty much all as good as gold & hold back to give me a bit of time to dive off into a gateway or ditch; I don't argue {:0) I have infinitely more trouble with the visitors in their 'Lieutenant Gruber's little tanks' who can't manage any road wot doesn't have a white line down the middle & need at least a foot clearance on the nearside so they don't scratch their posh paintwork. I've been asked why I ride 2-3ft out from the hedge through the blind bends, preventing them from passing...

That woman driver all she has to do is go up the kerb just like you would parking at home. Feeble excuses she would get a flat tire. Not if you go up and off the kerb slowly. Some people are absolutely useless on the country roads.

While harvesting a few weeks ago we had one of our cart trailers going down a narrow road fully loaded when a small car came and moved only ever so slightly over and refused to move at all. my mum who was carting at the time ultimelty gave in as she had to quickly get back and moved over onto the bank of the road almost flipping the trailer while the car just remained smack in middle of the road. I hate how inconsiderate these people are

Tuun the engine off put your feet up on the dash pour yourself a mug of tea or coffee raise your mug to give the a toast saying im in no hurry and smile they'll soon move i was told that by a lorry driver once he said it work's a treat 😂

As my Mother would say, manners maketh man or woman of course. Why is spending an extra thirty seconds of your life to help assist the speed in which the harvest can be completed so annoying for people? Allowing farm workers to crack on with the day job benefits everyone. Why do I say everyone? Everyone eats, or drinks a farm’s produce up to three times a day, every day of their life. Doing so shows respect for the tough work they put in 365 days a year. Best wishes, Tony.

Perhaps the lady in the car ought to retake her driving test & take up lessons on spacial awareness 😂

I drive that road so often for work and could have easily moved over enough for you. You handle that situation so well.

If she can't reverse or figure out the alternatives, she's not much of a driver. On country roads drivers should be prepared for that. Alternatively you could hire that KZbin star farmer that moved the car that was blocking his entrance. That went quite well I thought!

Definitely got some tractor envy, luckily I don’t have any big trailers but I do meet some people totally incapable of reversing and it’s a bloody nightmare. Think you handled it perfectly.

Probably Reginald Molehusband’s Grandaughter Google it 😂👌 We live next to farmland in Yorkshire BTW 👌

It's frightening that we have to share roads with some of these people

This time of year one should expect farm vehicle

Too many pig ignorant,self entitled,incompetent idiots on our roads these days-this video proves it.

Sunday roast wrapped in tin foil brought up to the field ! Long lost but very happy days 😀

When I used to cart silage I used to come across that alot on narrow roads some people just can't understand you cannot move in any further or reverse you did exactly right you stood your ground let them moan all they want they will eventually move for you.

Sorry but you not concentrating fully if your filming while driving. Should be outlawed.

You handled it perfectly.

I live in a rural location surrounded by several farms, we have good relationships with the local farmers but they don’t use trailers as large as yours.

Sorry example of a) incompetent driver not capable of handling their vehicle - they should not be driving a car full stop b) ignorant selfish idiot - no doubt the first to complain if the shelves are empty of food. Makes my blood boil how people act so selfishly with no regard for hard working farmers keeping this country running. I think you were too accommodating but you had the moral high ground anyway. Talk about a ‘karen’…

Used to get the same problem when driving a 44ton artic some car drivers could not even reverse 20 feet

I got exactly the same yesterday, they even had a drop kerb to go up .. they deemed that not an essential place to pass, so I sat .. they sat .. I sat .. they moved ! I got the famous glare stare through side window .. smile and wave 😀 its a very small minority that do it, the ones that sit in the road and freeze are great one 🤭

As an hgv driver… been in similar situ’s numerous times, them waving the arms at me, i just pull hand brake on, !! Let them decide what they wan to do!!😆🥰🥰💪👍🍺🍺

Much enjoyed this and brought back many happy memeories of harvest jobs and bale cart. I can even forgive the Harper Adams shirt....almost !

it wouldn't have been very far for that car to have reversed back to that entrance.......i farm in Devon and our lanes are barely wider than a a 100hp tractor is so people need to know how to reverse around these parts although saying that there's many that can't........maybe the driving test needs to include more reversing

F'kn townies!

there's idiots like that 😡 40ft trailer on a dolly no way thats going backwards! Then there's the muppets overtaking, especially when you've got a wait for a right turn, some people have no clue

I ve met farmers sons that pass a gateway and then they expect me on a tractor and trailer load of bales to pull in. I just stop and they eventually go back to the gate way and I can safely pass. No comon sense

Entitled moron shame you cant drive over his biddy car.

Typical driver attitude.

Brilliant video Eleanor😊 Can I tell you something you absolutely nailed the driving putting up with idiots, I used to work on a farm loved tractor driving in a field hated on roads 😢, i am now a livestock driver 😮 put up with abuse everywhere on country roads 😢

I think a lot of drivers get their licence out of a cracker box,because they have no bloody idea townies what do expect.

That load of straw has a bigger value than Ethel’s car never mind a possible puncture

I drive through the lanes of Devon when I’m on hols down there and always respect the local farmers, after all it’s their work place. Besides there’s no way I’d argue with a big green machine 😂. You were very calm dealing with it, well done.

Drive over her joking. Some people are just clueless

i have been known to simply stop the engine and pour myself a cup of coffee and wait for them to back down ----- effing townies

Hi Eleanor, it's the first time u have seen your videos and I was impressed with your driving, your efficiency and the efficiency of the operation you guys are running, all nice well maintained equipment to , the way you delt with ranty lady was very good, very polite and to the point, I get not everyone knows how to react when faced with a large vehicle but she only wound herself up but on the flip side she gave all the drivers a laugh and hopefully you laughed at her to. Ohh and I really hope she didn't get a puncture, hopefully she will invest in some reversing lessons .😂

Its crazy how bad some people are when they cant back a car very annoying

I deliberately drive up the middle of narrow roads knowing I can pull in to get past the cars. I find the cars then make more effort to get over in anticipation. Really nice loads, big trailers!!

I live on the route to/from a farm.Over the last 2 weeks the farm has been baling and there are numerous tractors & trailers back/forward ALL day. The route is also a bus route, is popular with dog walkers/pedestrians, 9-5 traffic, and HORSE riders from a nearby stable. The farm machinery has to negotiate a road with traffic parked both sides, with limited room to get through. The drivers have my greatest respect - other drivers MUST obey the Highway Code and be considerate and courteous.....and learn how to manoeuvre your vehicle !!!!!
