[@alex5983]

Brilliant video Olly, thank you 👍

[@jascollinscork]

Nice drone footage!!! Cracking video...... some awesome drill!!

[@OllyBlogsAgricontractfarmer]

Thanks

[@mucksavageIrl]

Congrats on the new drill shes mint. Savage headland efficiency. Could go loaded out for the day with it.

[@samherbert1724]

Never a dull day in ollys life always something happening....

[@jameswilken2970]

Nice setup👌...Twin beacons💪👍

[@martyn450f3]

Good to see the drill working, it will be interesting to see it on stubble. A strobe bar on the top would look smart.

[@puma160cvx8]

Very impressive seed drill looks strong. Bought my English fertiliser yesterday happy with price. With wheat barley beans and beef price as high as they are better deal than I’ve done in the past. Great videos watch most of them.

[@OllyBlogsAgricontractfarmer]

Oh no 🤦‍♂️

[@bossswinebag6371]

One either side olly 💪💪👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@richardwatts220]

Love your fert rant. Farmer's never stick together though to push price down.

[@allanrobson7242]

Very impressive seed drill,nice bit of kit.....

[@adrianhutchin4925]

great drone footage and lovely soil for the new drill, all looking good :) each side as drivers are crap at seeing anything but their pjone when driving :)

[@martinlambourne8563]

Great video! Golf ball collection coming along nicely 👍

[@mikereekie4948]

Impressive seed drill. Great investment

[@OllyBlogsAgricontractfarmer]

I hope so

[@johnjones3848]

Middle looks good for light.good to see 🌾 wheat looking good hopefully straw will be plentiful and cheaper for us hill farms to buy next winter.👏🐑🐂🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿👍

[@Jacksh12]

Evening Olly 95% today second jab and nice weather. Beacon in the middle and great drone footage.

[@declansheehan3207]

One rather side & no body can say they can’t see it. Better safe than sorry 👌👍👌👍👌👍

[@davidcorlett3266]

90 % again today one ether side looks very impressive in the field the drill 👍🇮🇲

[@robertrowlands9044]

I saw several yellow jackets on the roundabout today , but they where outnumbered by water utility workers with lots of road closures and diversions. Had a nice tour of Hough Green.

[@andrewsmyth161]

Looks as you live on a different planet....rained all day here....another unwanted 22mm so far .... drill outfit is fab

[@dude1624]

Each side 👌

[@user-pe4sx7ey3m]

That’s a beast of a machine for sowing, it’s very well made

[@andrewwillison2304]

Evening olly great to see the new drill in action. The drill defo needs twin rear beacons. I feel 100% today as I had a good day spraying. 34 mile round trip to spray 600ac

[@OllyBlogsAgricontractfarmer]

Good work

[@gilesmorris8401]

Your obviously pleased with the drill 😊.seems to work well. The rule is ‘“ more flashing lights the better”😂

[@spannermonkey]

One either side I reckon and a rear camera so you can see the coulters behind the tank. Looks a weapon of a drill👍 we used to sell horsh yrs ago but only the pronto drills, always reliable and seemed nice and strong!

[@antmorgan5255]

The fellow's working on the roundabout must go into hiding when they see you coming maby they are camera shy or just lazy. 🚜🚦🚜🚦

[@brendanshanley9315]

One each side looks balanced it's a beautiful machine

[@keithhill3027]

Lovely sunny warm day down on Exmoor today so 100%

[@stevenpeters3989]

Looking forward to seeing the new low loader trailer going to look smart behind the fastrac

[@ianleak]

Thats nice the new drill hopefully better in the wet in the back end, had a good day out for coffee with my friend 😊 about 80% today

[@henryhoule1780]

One on each side 🚨👍

[@niallmurphy4496]

Put on two beacon, and more light's on the drill,👍 amazing footage with the drone, drill looks brilliant in footage. #85%, getting sick shit of this rain, hopefully june might be a better month. Brilliant video Olly 😉

[@christinegibbins6105]

Interesting vlog, love the drone footage. 50% today, nightmare, Agri Buggy TDi engine blown up, stuck in field with its arms out, Son's Disco poorly, injector problem, so he has mine, and my credit card is blocked due to my trying to buy a iPad, the amount well outside my normal spending habit!!!!! Beautiful day filled with bird song spoilt. Take care and thank you.

[@OllyBlogsAgricontractfarmer]

Deffo a bad day

[@richardstrange2630]

one either side , don't bother with spinner type lights , go for flat strobe led . Far more visible and more protected .;) good work Olly .

[@henrywoods9972]

Great video👍

[@simonpegge2843]

More flashing lights the better ! 95 % 👌

[@DA11NOON]

One either side. And one in the middle that will look good 👍 100% today on holiday and going in MH

[@trevorjarvis3021]

I would go for two lights but no higher than the drill itself - Don’t forget the bridge!! Magnificent looking drill, fantastic drone footage. Roundabout civil engineers? Looks like it’s a hospital job!! Only working on it when they have nothing else to do! You certainly get your fair share of power cuts! I thought it might be caused by the roundabout works but there’s never anybody working there! Ha ha😂 (strong 97%)

[@OllyBlogsAgricontractfarmer]

Yes been bad recently

[@chrisduvall4213]

Great to see the drill in action. I think in middle 🤔

[@danielmather3721]

Drill is top draw another good vid keep it up . Must seem strange some times talking to a camera but worth it every credit pal 8rx next 👌🤠🌾🌾🌾🌾🌾🌾🌾

[@wilmidwales1287]

That looks a good bit of kit we always buy fert in November normally a lot cheaper than in spring Wil mid Wales

[@OllyBlogsAgricontractfarmer]

Yes

[@davidhall5130]

Think one light in middle otherwise could get mistaken for hazard lights. Will you be putting duel wheels on for drill to match drill wheels

[@OllyBlogsAgricontractfarmer]

No

[@craigdoig9486]

Great video again

[@mickjennings2968]

I’d go one in the middle loved the drone footage she looks a beast and 95% today as weather has been nice and managed to wash the car

[@chrisdainton9880]

Great drone footage! That drills a beast! Deffo a beacon either side!

[@andy123law]

The new drill looks like a nice piece of kit mate 👍🏻I am about 95% today we head back from sunny Cornwall tomorrow ☹️ look forward to getting stuck behind your new drill on the lanes tho 🤣👍🏻

[@OllyBlogsAgricontractfarmer]

🤣🤣🤣

[@jonathanchaplin9116]

Olly You do good work!

[@jonathan_5967]

Good to finally see the drill in action 👍was a scorching day today for me, 20C and its gonna be 24C in a couple days! And I vote 2 on the sides

[@OllyBlogsAgricontractfarmer]

👍🏻

[@alexthom4784]

Drone was very good ! Think the drill needs a few flashing lights because it a big and needs a lot of road !!!! 85% to day

[@philwhiting3818]

Would the tier 5 4220 run that drill OK? We're demoing this drill this summer but im a bit apprehensive about the Tractor. If not the 8330 will have to go on it.

[@123456BobJackson]

each side. The more lights the better

[@farmerr9933]

Cracking video as always,one either side driver can’t say they didn’t see it if you have two flashing away, I had someone hit a trailer I was towing once, they said the couldn’t see me 🤦🏻‍♂️. Be safe be seen 👍

[@simoncooper188]

Sounds like the uk could do with something like FBN the farmers business network 99% today

[@johnwarwick4105]

Just a thought for your maze. If you could get a local charity interested in running the admin side of the maze. They would collect the money and you could charge them rent for the land at an amount that would cover your total costs. They would have the profit and could be distributed to the agreed charities without affecting your tax liabilities. Something like a charity that organises ploughing matches etc would be ideal. Would be a win win all round. Brave using the new drills first outing to sow the sunflowers😂

[@spencermoss5528]

It’s exactly the same when it comes to the milk price people get scared and just go along with it

[@paulduncalf2756]

Got to be one strobe each side Olly look better 👍

[@e.cfarmphotography1095]

Yeh agree fert is way to expensive about %80 today as I have a bad migraine but at least it’s dry hope you feel better soon olly 👍

[@henrybarbour289]

Love the fertiliser rant!

[@liamtimhulmey9026]

One either side... 👌 more is better

[@OllyBlogsAgricontractfarmer]

👍🏻

[@garrynewborough]

2 beacons LED👍🏻

[@paulpreston1736]

Good video olly one in the middle be fine

[@peterallan6354]

Do you think you need to lower your tyre pressures a bit when you're seeding

[@OllyBlogsAgricontractfarmer]

Yer but only doing a little bit

[@TheSparkysdog]

One either side, it'll be more eye catching 👀

[@stephennewman4693]

One either side. You wont miss it then. Looks like the drill does a good job be interesting the results.90%

[@stephennewman4693]

You could also add in a "bloody cyclists" sign covers all health and safety bases then.

[@jcbjim5960]

A blue 1 in the middle Totally agree with fertiliser prices. We just had a load of import nitram £30 cheaper than uk

[@ThingyGoos]

Isn’t blue illegal unless on an emergency vehicle though?

[@jcbjim5960]

@@ThingyGoos don’t worry about that a least drivers would slow down

[@farmerfachie6305]

2 ether side will soot nice and be more safer as you will have a back up in case one brakes

[@OllyBlogsAgricontractfarmer]

👍🏻

[@FatLadofYork]

CF ferts by any chance? As you say, people will just by yara, lithan or poulan. Single beacon because one either side will look like indicators/hazards flashing & confuse people following behind.

[@leelovell2790]

Hi olly enjoyed seeing the drill going me personally I'd have all three so people know how big it is 🤔🤔🙌👍

[@diggerdave.6587]

Hey again buddy. Definitely go with two strobes as in my experience it makes it more unusual so therefore more visible. By the way, the road tax seems to have run out on the Bateman. Dave.

[@OllyBlogsAgricontractfarmer]

🤣🤣🤣

[@alistairwright4975]

What nozzles are you running on your sprayer olly? The look to do a decent job!

[@OllyBlogsAgricontractfarmer]

Defy

[@grahambarton4563]

Great video as usual, two either side , do the wheels on the drill not track in the same wheelings as the tractor ? It looks as if they are wider than the tractor , looks like a great piece of kit , 95% thanks

[@OllyBlogsAgricontractfarmer]

They could nearly but no point they don’t cut in any way

[@martinlingham2162]

Love the drill, did you do another pass post Sumo, pre drill?

[@OllyBlogsAgricontractfarmer]

No carrier pass

[@kevinmanley2498]

If head aches are a problem get your blood pressure checked. I had a migraine that wouldn’t shift in January and my blood pressure was 250/ something so hospitalised . Farming is stressful so be careful. Not much point in buying nice equipment after a stroke .

[@lukejones5571]

Great vid, ye two ether side will look smart

[@OllyBlogsAgricontractfarmer]

👍🏻

[@hedleyjackson5131]

One strobe in the middle less likely to be mistaken for an indicator. 65% blown a front wheel motor getting changed and a full system flush on Tuesday.

[@johnmcandrew4029]

1 beacon in the middle up the top then a couple of flashing LED lights spaced out on the line with the number plate.

[@OllyBlogsAgricontractfarmer]

👍🏻

[@somethingsomething5659]

Great vid what about a little bar of beacons that goes right the way across

[@krisshutler]

Have you ever tried vaderstad rapid 600s. My friend a contractor has nearly a new outfit. Doesn't get any problems with contents left in the tank. He's not long just bought 2 gen 6 fendt 724's and a 516.

[@Murphyslawfarm]

G'day Olly

[@garrymobey912]

I still can’t understand why the didn’t put traffic lights on the junctions. I still haven’t actually seen anyone working there. 98% as I’m shooting tomorrow and going the the caravan on Sunday. The fert company must be a franchise which I thought had been stopped in the UK. The drill is a beast 👍🏽

[@normansufrin207]

One either side. Symmetry

[@richardleigh1762]

Orange LED light's either side .

[@jimmypear11]

Only ever wash out with the clean water I have on board 450litres for a 5000 litre tank never killed or damaged anything. The only time I’d wash out twice would be after pendimethlin. 😁😁😁 risky games

[@sethredwood6068]

That drone footage is better than country files

[@OllyBlogsAgricontractfarmer]

🤣🤣🤣

[@dennis657]

3 light on the back or just put loads on

[@SlipShodBob]

Unless he has better wireless or mobile connection than we get I doubt the first man on the moon watches as he passed away in 2012. Buzz may be a fan and watch though.

[@niallirish6975]

1 either side mate👍

[@OllyBlogsAgricontractfarmer]

👍🏻

[@simonpage8120]

95% Today , been in the RB35 all day, dry but no sun. light either side on the back of the drill

[@OllyBlogsAgricontractfarmer]

👍🏻

[@richpbrown2]

Two beacons, or make it totally eye catching and put 4 on, 2 and 2

[@luisnunes7933]

Is the seeder`s configuration 48 rows, 25cm apart(judging the width between rows)? You said the gap was 12.5cm! That can not be so! That would require to double the number of rows. I would appreciate your answering.

[@ryansegui9137]

Got to make sure the strobs dont flash like a indicator if having them either side

[@tomharper2709]

2 beacons is always better than one unless it’s on a combine in which 3 is better (2 front 1 rear)

[@alunsing7157]

One in the middle as I followed a trailer with two this morning but one wasn’t working so it looked like his indicator was on , 70% court summons has turned up and bought some expensive fertiliser at a competitive price, cheaper per unit than urea🤔😎

[@OllyBlogsAgricontractfarmer]

🤔

[@essexaea]

Both...

[@DonyBoi]

duel beacons , 90% today , with the rust is there a limit to amount of times you can spray the crop with fungicides , and i am guessing the only true way to stop rust would be a GM crop , which some frown at :/

[@adamwatson6384]

I thought you used liquid fert for N:S? When do you normally order it? I'm putting in a tank to try some liquid N:S.

[@OllyBlogsAgricontractfarmer]

I use urea for first dose

[@cmotdibbler4454]

I think an upside down strobe beacon in the middle would be pretty good something like a Durite 0-445-36 or a 0-445-27 if you don't want a low profile one I can't believe that roundabout still has had no progress, what the hell are they doing? a local council to me have decided to put in a new roundabout to replace a dodgy junction/mini roundabout, they broke ground in April and they are almost ready to put tarmac on it now and they have had to terraform the entire corner of a field as they can't shut the road. Anyhow 99% today

[@OllyBlogsAgricontractfarmer]

That’s how it should be done

[@dewiroberts8591]

One either side.

[@johnsutton4125]

Stobes anywhere that looks symmetrical

[@OllyBlogsAgricontractfarmer]

👍🏻

[@martialme84]

The music during the drone footage is so much louder than the rest of the video, that i had to quickly turn down the volume real quick in a hurry to not disturb my neighbour. So my constructive criticism is that this nice video would have been even nicer if the audio levels were a bit closer together. Great job overall though.

[@RaysFarming]

One either side more visible iam 95% today weather has been lovely been able to start knocking silage grass

[@OllyBlogsAgricontractfarmer]
