British Farming | Summer Haymaking Part 2

[@tomcarrigan843]

Farming most of my life and have made thousands of bales over the years and still love watching your videos with my 3 little girls here who constantly ask me to check if theirs a new one. 👍👏 Btw we had a little mf loader exactly like that before and it's quite easy and relatively cheap to put a 3rd service on it to use a bale squeeze. You just need to get a "6 port diverter" and plumb it into the tip circuit. I have a spare one here if you want it free to a good home. 😉😂

[@harezy]

I hope they take up your offer 20 years of duck tape could of bought the squeeze 😂😂

[@flankfarm]

Hey Tom, so sorry we missed this comment and how special it is for a number of reasons. Really put a smile on our faces. How do I take you up on your bale squeezer offer? Or am I too late? All the best! Ru & Sarah

[@tomcarrigan843]

@@flankfarm it's the valve block that you need for that little mf loader that I have so ye will have the 3rd service to operate a bale squeeze that I have. As i said its relatively easy to fit and i can explain or any mechanic their would sort it no problem. I'm in the south of Ireland and I'd be willing to post it and any extra bits i have that you might need no problem. It will mean that your loader will have the extra service to operate any hydraulic attachment such as a bale squeeze or a grab. Is theirs some way of direct messaging your address?

sorry to be off topic but does any of you know of a method to log back into an Instagram account..? I was dumb forgot my password. I love any tips you can offer me.

[@MsBuckeroo]

Your mother is a true gem, even the land itself must appreciate her! I truly wish it was possible to see more of u guys. Thank u ✌🏻

[@sulimanmansaray5154]

These videos deserve a Bafta, beautifully produced, informative, interesting, entertaining, warm-hearted... we love em!!!

[@lionelmarytravels6003]

I really loved the shots of the Red Kite, taken from above. They’re wonderful birds and a beautiful sight to watch as they twist and turn using that forked tail to guide them, whilst riding on the air currents. Lovely videos. Thanks Rufus.

[@cyclonicsquid4189]

I really do love your mom! She is such a luminous, passionate, caring and generous person with a great sense of humour!

[@flankfarm]

Thanks so much! Love the word luminous 😁

[@cyclonicsquid4189]

@@flankfarm she brings light into our collective darkness by the sheer power of her presence! Amazing superwoman! 💪😁

[@617cab]

I live in middle Tennessee and it strikes me as funny as you are saying you are burning up at 82, it is usually in the high 80's or low 90's when we put up the first two cutting. I enjoy seeing how y'all farm and how we leave cattle out all winter and y'all put them up in barns. All the best to you and yours and may you stay healthy, happy and safe.

[@dapsgail]

I love your videos and your beautiful Mom with her antiquated machinery! I love what you said about slowing down and the things that matter. While we wait for the whole world to recover from this virus- we can continue to appreciate what we have right now. Thank you so much! I am a fan and I keep looking forward to your new videos.

[@lionelmarytravels6003]

We watched the Spring video yesterday and now the summer one. Totally different to each other, but equally interesting. I spent most of my working life in farming, both with cows and arable. You are both very relaxed about the whole process. It’s a pleasure to see you carrying out those seasonal tasks, without losing your patience (or tempers). Tomorrow it will be the Autumn one. Thanks for sharing. Good luck to you both.

[@LiveSteamNick]

What a fantastic process!!! We’ve enjoyed these fields for many years and never knew what’s involved,, my boys used to love climbing to the top of a hay bale and feeling like on top of the world!!!....and yes you really must get a Bale Squeezer,,,,poking holes in nice sealed silage bales is not the one!! Your Dad would have loved watching these Vlogs !!!

[@JimMcCormick17]

Hay off the field in the shed is one of life’s great joys.

[@patriciafranklin803]

So amazing! Bless those who created such machinery!

[@timbutch1960]

These just make my day. Every video makes me wish I had a farm in England, maybe someday!

[@roberthiggins6401]

Great video Roo! Fantastic catching the kite up close on film.

[@flankfarm]

Thanks Robert! Such a cool thing to capture

[@Sam687]

Nothing like curing that Sunday dread of looming office work with a new flank vid and a few hours recap through the rest 😂

[@carlpro14]

Finally! Outstanding quallity as usual! :D

[@johnlynch102]

Great video making. My favorite is “Summer”. Very thoughtful words. Keep it up!

[@henrymckay731]

Thanks for the great video. I watch a lot of farming videos being a farmer myself but yours are just that little bit more special. Top Quality stuff.

[@stephwoodhouse3223]

Joyous. Keep up the wonderful work. It’s such a treat to share in your family’s wonderful farm. Your mum is a treasure and your film making is incredibly beautiful and moving and I love the humour too. Thank you so much for making these tremendous films x

[@flankfarm]

Thank you for taking the time to write Steph! Looking forward to releasing more soon

[@alastairwallis9499]

Great to see another video and to watch your mum do an impression of a rapper ( mechanical one !! )

[@flankfarm]

Haha, one of my favourite bits too!

[@deliacatsburg109]

Love seeing your passion for the land and the animals. Thank you for sharing the love you have for your Mum.

[@martianmuppet]

I can smell the hay I'm sure, lovely film, reminds me of being out on my uncles farm in the sunny 70's when I was a wee boy. Thanks for uploading!

[@Paperthumbtack]

Love to sit down and watch these as a treat. Old tractors are special. I learn so much from you and have added new ideas and dreams for our small based on what you have filmed. Never underestimate the power of video. You may be talking about hay, and I may be picking out stock information from the background.

[@flankfarm]

Thank you! What a lovely thing to think

[@mtozzy11]

Its always a pleasure to get the crop cut and baled even better when it's in the shed. Stunning video guys camera work is great. I use two 1960's David Brown tractors to make mine slowly but surely they do the job. Your mum is such a gem.

[@flankfarm]

Love the sound of those tractors Michael, would love to see those in action!

[@mtozzy11]

@@flankfarm have two very short videos up of them, well one anyway cutting and baling.

[@flankfarm]

Nice! Will check them out

[@nancysmith-baker3827]

What a lovely and motivating comment Nancy, thank you so much for taking the time to write it. All the best from the farm 😁

[@chazharrison5646]

I always look forward to your vlogs. You and your mum are just great together and love listening to her stories and your funny commentaries. They are a real joy and delight to watch. Thank you for all you do to bring them to us.

[@pjmoody]

Such wonderful Video's. Thank you for taking the time making them. Your Mum is a classic!

[@flankfarm]

Just like the tractors! Thanks Peter

[@braxtonwitteveen8677]

When we were setting up our tractor to have a set of hydraulics out the front we put in an electronic switch in with a bit ton so you can push it and the any you would tilt the forks then runs the third function

[@alexanderjames296]

hey another great vid, just wondering what mixed breeds and breeds of sheep and cows your mum has

[@gregchapple6437]

Cracking job. where are you based

[@MF12000]

Lovely video rue, just btw if ye stack too many bales on one side of the trailer it can easily bend the chassis (base) on the trailer...

[@graemebowyer4901]

Some footage inside the cab would be welcome.

[@johnfoley9617]

I was just thinking, a bale lifter for the back of the tractor could work or you could get a third adapter

[@flankfarm]

Interesting idea, I’ve never seen this in action but would be keen to! Thanks for the comment John, awesome to hear from you

[@mickward6751]

really enjoyed from melbourne

[@flankfarm]

Do you need a worker in the field of agriculture and livestock?

[@helenel4126]

Great video! I'm so glad for your mum that the haymaking and sileage-making was a success! Perhaps you should set up a GoFundMe page for her desired piece of kit?

[@flankfarm]

Thank you Helene! Haha, I’m not sure how we’d feel about a GoFundMe, but I hope we avoid the double spikes next year 😁

[@vinylrevolutions9718]

Your videos are a charming, well made, beautifully narrated view of the countryside and farming life. Like everyone else, I love your Mum but, as a Christian, it does upset me to hear her take God's name in vain. Please will you ask her stop using God's name in this way? I don't want to stop watching your videos but, if she continues to do so, I may have to.
