Well done Adrian. You are fast becoming the top farming youtube channel. Congrats and keep up the good work in 2021.

Hallo sir and madam

[@seansugrue2213]

Cable ties tied on and sticking up they can't land on them. We used do it for years on fishing boats to stop the gulls from shitting all over the deck.

[@themayorofdipshittery3646]

You reap what you sow Adrian. You run a good honest channel and a right good tidy farm, you deserve all the help & toys that come your way. Funny how the harder you work the luckier you get 🤔😂👍

[@IFarmWeFarm]

Thanks mate,

[@davidporter9556]

Here another we thing it’s only small but see when u put off the block instead if closin tbe grab to push it around use the next block you bring in it just means u don’t hav to open an close

[@rolfwhite2563]

Was about to say exactly the same thing, push the previous block around with the next. Saves time, saves wear on the tines and cutting edge off of the floor and damage to the concrete if you don’t just get the angle right!

[@eoghancorr]

Well done Adian on great videos in 2020 my 2year old nephew is glued to you now also 👍🏻

[@IFarmWeFarm]

That’s cool lad, thanks for watching and have a great 2021 👍

[@markelliott5274]

That mchale bale splitter is ent really a splitter. there options for one for the front loader which split the bale and hang on to the plastic and net you don't have to cut plastic or net you just separate

[@Joey-ve7ku]

Don't think the case would be big enough to lift that big of a grab plus a bale

[@randybutler4772]

[@lavin9689]

Been watching this channel since lockdown started, didn't get much time to watch videos before that, but I must say I'm really enjoying watching the older vids as much as the new ones 👍keep it up👍

[@IFarmWeFarm]

Cheers mate

[@roberthiggins6401]

I think that's the first time I've seen you use the shear grab, works a treat. All the best for 21 Adrian and you're family.

[@mistypeppercorn914]

We put the lick bucket into an old bucket, two screws into the timber through the old bucket and put the lick bucket into the old bucket. Drill a 5 mm hole into those pins at the barrier and use a bit of bull wire to secure them.

[@stephenclerkin8105]

We put lick buckets sitting in an old tyre and then tie it with rope or bull wire to barrier. Handy if ya don't have made up rings and lighter than blocks.

[@gearoidkelly533]

Happy Christmas to ye all from Limerick Ireland

[@matthewgorman1307]

Another great vid. Great gesture from galway. But more importantly, Farmer Phil has called you out on the bale challenge. Best wishes for you and yours in 2021.

[@gerardcallan5655]

Happy Christmas, sprinkle the meal/nuts on the silage. They will get every grain.

JFC bin for the bale plastic is fierce handy especially if your using plastic instead of net wrap inside the cover...saves a lot of time going back tidying up plastic & the plastic is clean to be recycled...

[@davidoleary2452]

run real strong fishing line above the feeding barriers, they will hit it when flying and not come back

[@tristanpatton9279]

Happy new year Adrian to you and your family. You’re doing a fantastic job!

[@danoohara397]

Great video. Great meal bin them. Didn’t know about them til now. Put a full length pin from top to bottom on barrier. We done it. Great job. To heavy for cattle to lift.

[@georgerome]

Another tremendous video as always and always love tuning in watching how your getting on with the farming Adrian😃👍 . Hope yourself and all the family had a fabulous Christmas

[@seanwhyte8526]

Adrian, what i do with the meal at the feed barrier is i get a 12 inch black corrie pipe and cut in half, leave the pipe down at the feed barrier and put the meal in it, they lick the dishes clean no waste or throwing out meal . Also it stops the meal going down through the silage and then the cattle nosing the silage out searching for bits of meal.

[@colmcoakley3916]

those mchale bale choppers are a fantastic machine. we've been using it all xmas to feed out the selection boxes and biscuits

[@sandymcghee3328]

Awsome video & merry Christmas and happy new year 🥳 to you and your family i will be 59 on Thursday coming. Keep the family safe 👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👩‍🌾👩‍🌾😷😷🚜🚜

[@cdemo1186]

Happy Christmas and a happier new year to you Adrian and the whole family. Just a suggestion regarding the silage wrap on the other farm, when I worked for my friend on his dairy farm I used to put the wrap into an old ton bag,and the mesh into a separate one. I'd keep it packed down,I had them fixed to the side purlins on the shed which meant the bags were open. It left it very easy for loading them when it was time to remove the plastic for recycling. Just an idea. 🖒

[@gtrpaulfarrell]

Glad the tip worked out Adrian! Happy Xmas

[@unaoconnor3628]

Nice that you keep the old corrugated concrete wall! The old man mightn't have your high spec finish but it was honest labour and great use of limited resources.

[@micklaikrison2]

I'm not a farmer adrian, I'd love to be, but I really enjoy your channel your very informative you only use the best, and everything is done really well by you. Great work lad keep it up hope you had a great Christmas and hope the new year is good to you.

[@padraigholmes587]

I have really enjoyed your videos during the year Happy Christmas and New year to you and yours

[@johnconnell2412]

Adrian you could use the back tyre you taking off the quad. Same diameter as the bucket, bolt it to the timber under the barrier. Metal ring might get damaged and go out of shape but the tyre won't get damaged

[@metal1999]

Not a farmer but love to see how tidy an outfit you run

[@joinertanner]

I'm wondering if the new machine is a log spliter they make a nice range of spliters.

[@irishfarming9496]

I’m a beef farmer and feed nuts to the cattle daily , bfore u feed the animals put out silage but keep the silage out from the barriers when they are eating the nuts then it won’t be going out to far away from them

[@jerryodriscoll3691]

I tend to do it after they have eaten all the silage in front of them, then they don't go digging and pushing all the silage away out of reach, I pour it right in against the concrete so that the bits farthest away from the concrete would only be 6in infront of it, don't go near them when they're eating as they will lift up their heads is the main thing I find that causes them to lose the nuts into the centre of the passageway

[@edmondfinucane5506]

@@jerryodriscoll3691 or give them the nuts whilst you're getting the bales ready

[@jerryodriscoll3691]

@@edmondfinucane5506 that's what I normally do, let them eat the ration while I'm pulling back the plastic on the pit or take all the plastic off the bales

Happy Christmas and happy new year. Hope you keep the videos coming for 2021.

[@Emg2463]

I like how you don't take the calves away from mom right away. I know why the bigger farms do ....it's just nice to see a mom get a chance to enjoy her little one for a bit before it has to go.

[@nevillegill2879]

Hi just another comment on pushing in the silage block. Put in the first block but push it in with the next block in the shear grab then drop second block push it in with the third means less time opening and closing the grab in the shed. Last block you have to use the empty grab. Really hope you are well and had a good safe Christmas.

[@IFarmWeFarm]

Yes makes good sense that 👌👍

[@nevillegill2879]

You are very welcome. I used it especially with the tractor and loader. Hope it helps

[@williamneedham2536]

I hope you had a great xmas and I really enjoy watching your vids and keep up with the great work

[@roadrash1282]

Happy Christmas Adrian and best of luck in 2021. I subscribed in 2020 and was not disappointed. You’re a credit to the Irish farming community. Keep up the good work lad!👍🏻

[@IFarmWeFarm]

Cheers lad

[@michaelstaunton1632]

A great upload. You make a mighty job of the different camera angles it really adds to a great video, keep up the good work now 👌👌👌

[@seanwhyte8526]

Hi Adrian , happy new year to u and ur family, i had a problem similar to you with feeding meal at the feed barrier what i did was get a 12 inch black corrie pipe , cut it down both sides and divided the pipe in half, leave it down at feed barrier and put meal in it when feeding, i find it stops them nosing the meal out and also stops the problem of meal falling down through silage and then they shove silage out searching for meal , it works for me , take care.

[@kenjohnston1996]

[@markfoxton894]

Well done on all the videos thru the year hope you and urs had a great xmas

[@deanhendrick5115]

Small time saving method for putting in the silage blocks is leave off the first block go get the second one and push de first one in with the grab when the second one is in it. Saves opening and closing the grab

[@seanlenehan7574]

Top video as usual Adrian I have one of the JFC bins for the bale rap best thing ever highly recommend it .Happy new year to you and your family

[@roadrash1282]

Small tip for cutting blocks of silage out of the pit. Cut a full block then skip very slightly less then full block and cut a full block again. Now go back and cut the middle block out or leave it and skip a slightly less the full block again. It leaves you putting the exact same amount of pressure on each ram of the sheargrab every time. When you cut the smaller blocks out the only pressure exerted on the rams is equally along the front teeth. It leaves it that one ram is not biting full force into the pit face where the other ram is really a passenger in the process.

[@martinwalsh5209]

Great video Adrian, happy Christmas and happy new year

Hi Adrian, Sean in Wexford. Really enjoy your channel. You're a great ambassador to rural Ireland. Keep up great work. Ps ordered jefferson 160 welder late tue nite from Clarkes . Like santa arrived Christmas eve !

Thanks Dee, you’ll love that welder 👍

[@JonDingle]

Great video young man. Have you seen the Hay Team TV, Tom Pemberton, George Saunders and Anthony Farming doing the "Bale Unwrapping Challenge"? The fastest time is 38seconds if I recall correctly? Basically, take three round bales, stand them on end, place your knife on the top and then time how long it takes to cut and strip the three bales of their wrap! All the best for 2021!

[@IFarmWeFarm]

Yes seen that, think you have to be nominated to do it though. Have a great one mate 🙂

See on the barriers the wee pins cable tie the two. Chain links the one closest the pin and the one closes the hinge that'll stop them from licking it up and when u need to open barriers just cut 1 have a photo if u need it

Brilliant channel great stuff.👌👌

[@seamuspower5900]

Happy Christmas lad great content again 👌

[@nicklad9463]

You said a few months ago you wanted a bigger slurry tanker possibly a hi-spec.a half ton meal bag is perfect for wrap plastic and netting separately

[@jerryodriscoll3691]

Regarding to the nuts problem, pour it in as close as possible to the headfeed and don't go near them as they may lift their heads which will cause them to lose the nuts. With the silage wrap problem, 1 bale in 30 bales, cut a circle out of the face of it, peel back the plastic without cutting into the sides, takes a bit longer but it works perfectly as a bag to keep the plastic in and you only have to do it every 30bales or so, can do the same with the netting also. Also with the shear grab, drop the block, go out and pick up the next block and push it in with the full grab saves a bit of time

[@antonyfarming]
