Good video Will 👍 totally agree about keeping equipment clean to help with routine maintenance 👌 but maybe my OCD but i absolutely hated a dirty cab to the extent i collected cardboard boxes from supermarkets and had a template cut fitting the cab floor and it got changed once a week during winter when we were at slurry or muck spreading and taken out altogether during summer months unless spreading slurry 🙄🤣🤣👍

Good video Will 👍 was expecting to see you reversing much further in to the lagoon and blasting the slurry into the thick crust at the back wall 💪👍

Thanks Bob! I’ve done that before to be fair, but the 399 struggles to hold the tanker on the ramp and when it’s full pulling you backwards in it can really scare you when you can’t stop!🙈

Good morning, Will. I used to watch a dairy farmer in the States. He has the same type of slurry pit. He used an excavator to deal with the crust. Dug out the crust and put it on the muck heap. He was dealing with - 20 winters. 👍

Good to see Izzy out helping Will she always seems to be smiling 😁 noticed your parlour has a rail below the rump rail ours didn't and had a few painful incidents because it gave the animals a clear route to hit you with their feet if they felt like it 🙄😕 got a broken nose 👃 and a cracked cheek bone 😬 best parlour ever worked was a rotary as you stood directly behind the cow and even if they kicked their legs went past either side of you 👌

She’s a god send Bob! Yes it does help I think having a double rump rail, cow kicks are the worst! I’ve was badly kicked in the jaw a couple years back, hurt initially but then later that day while I was eating dinner it locked open in so much pain and even when I got to a+e they didn’t really know to unlock my jaw, was very scary! Definitely don’t want that happening again! Yes rotary’s are very popular with larger herds aren’t they!

Good evening Will. There's not enough hours in the day when things go wrong or a Dairy farm. I watch some Canadian farmers on KZbin. They have heated water troughs, it's a bit like having a kettle on low boil all the time. Its essential there when it's - 40. 👍
