That's great Eric. Cheers

[@tsw2scotland341]

Love watching your videos funky farmer

[@thefunkyfarmer]

Thanks

[@diamondgaming9061]

Great video Richard, totally agree it is a very relaxing and satisfying job especially when rolled as well it looks great in the spring, we spread our manure in September to give it more time to break down

[@thefunkyfarmer]

Thanks Ian. You are right about the rolling, not if I will find the time to get that done though

[@joewylie6032]

Luv your vids Richard luv your tips an your a very good farming channel coz you give tips with is very helpful as I am also a farmer to

[@thefunkyfarmer]

Thanks joe

[@alicejohnsen7316]

nice vid, my first proper tractor job was chain harrowing a 4 acre field. In comparison to our chain harrow which isn't linkage mounted yours is luxurious.

[@thefunkyfarmer]

It's certainly a good job for a learner driver

[@quadarinxxx]

Do you think you could do a video explaining how much land you farm, how many cows you have, and maybe even showing (driving around, on a map or something) where your fields are located in relation to your farm. To give us a bit of an overview and context. Love your videos

[@thefunkyfarmer]

Hmm maybe

[@xXCoolishbeanzXx]

Hey Richard, i grew on my parents dairy farm in northeastern Iowa, and watching your videos reminds me of the randomness of every day. We milked around 75 cows and such. But now my older brother has taken up row crop farming and farms 1400 acres and I plan to start my own branch of the family farm after i finish up up college in two years. Luckily you guys don't get the frost and cold weather like we do. Some years the frost can go down 4-5 feet and the fields wouldn't be thatwed out till easter and the bales we use to bed our cattle were left the left over chaff from picking corn for grain. These vales were left in stacks at edges of the fields and snow and ice would be under those suckers till middle of april if they weren't moved! Fun fact I've met Ryan kuster from how farms work in Dubuque because we are only within a 45 minute drive from each other! I wish you the best of luck this year on the farm. My dad has had his own ups and downs with the milk prices before finally getting rid of the herd.

[@thefunkyfarmer]

Hi. Really interesting to hear about your old farm. You are certainly right about the randomness of the job. That's the bit I really like

[@KJWiggums]

Really enjoy watching your videos. My wife and I almost have watched all your videos. Here in the U.S. we just got 8 inches of snow a day ago.

[@thefunkyfarmer]

Thanks David. I'm glad we don't have your snow

[@harryhale6232]

I love harrowing and rolling don’t have to think great job

[@joehogg222]

Great video always like it when you say right am gonna crack on.

[@thefunkyfarmer]

Ha ha. Guess I say it quite a bit

[@Dextamartijn]

That's one of my favorite job harrowing nice and relaxing there's still to much snow here to harrow

[@thefunkyfarmer]

Yep it's a nice easy job

[@kyrreb-m]

Another great video, Richard! Looking forward to see more videos doring spring! We still got 1,5meter of snow here, so wont be able to do any fieldwork until late april, start of may. Keep it up!

[@thefunkyfarmer]

Crikey that's late for us. I guess your summer season must be quite short

[@outdoorswithlarryrobin]

Nice job, have some muck also in the fields

[@lyonoo]

Good afternoon Rich Another great vid keep up the good work My father in law always tell me if the snow is left in the hedges and ditches of the field it will be back !!!!

[@lfcfan2490]

That's what my dad told me

[@thefunkyfarmer]

You could be right. Yikes!

[@thefunkyfarmer]

Wise man

[@camelia9802]

Very interesting

[@thomasgeraghty5374]

Great job. Great ground. There is no spring here in chicago. Coldest april in 137 yrs. 6c here this morning. Frost 3 days ago.

[@thefunkyfarmer]

it seems bad everywhere this year

[@thomasgeraghty5374]

Ireland is lookin for feed. Australia warm, trees budding again. Strange

[@christinejohnson2528]

You'll break the seat jumping in like that 😄😄

[@TomPembertonFarmLife]

Looks the same as our chains harrows that Richards. They work fine and like you say what's the point in buying when you only use it for a couple of hours a year

[@thefunkyfarmer]

Yes exactly. They are now parked up for another year

[@TomPembertonFarmLife]

thefunkyfarmer we normally use them for about 2-3 days but it's the same. A new set would only look like this in a few years anyway

[@MrMixamitosis]

Nice video, I like your setup! I just uploaded a video of the setup I use, its an interesting idea!

[@dehavenfamilyfarm]

I wish we could even see our fields, but they are still covered in 8" of snow lol

[@thefunkyfarmer]

Oh dear

[@shaunCNH]

If the frames on the chain Harrows is ok, it’s cheaper to buy a new set of mats and fit to your current frame

[@thefunkyfarmer]

Yes. I think the frame is getting a bit week but I could weld it at some point

[@prodriver12345]

you was really struggling to lift that first wing up richard.

[@thefunkyfarmer]

Yes it's a bit seized

[@JussiValkila]

In Finland we have about two feet of snow

[@thefunkyfarmer]

Wow

[@michaelclinton7134]

That the job I lean to drive

[@jackoneill4197]

Just be careful chain harrowing can damage re-growth which we do not want at this time of the year

[@antonyfarming]

Nice one Richard bit wet here even to do that at moment and they saying snow at Easter.?

[@carolinedennis5579]

I do 500 acre

[@thefunkyfarmer]

Hmm yes could do with trying out a bit here too

[@yeaman4538]

I'll send ya a new muck spreader in the fan mail

[@thefunkyfarmer]

😂😂😂😂

[@moiwilliams170]

theres a saying in welsh "llwch eira dan haul yn disgwyl am eira mawr iw llnau" saying in english ,'snow drifts under the sun are waiting for a big snow to help clear it" meaning that iff snow driftst doesent clear away prety soon, theres a bigger snow coming.

[@thefunkyfarmer]

I like that. Don't think I could say it Welsh though

[@moiwilliams170]

ha,ha, its cool being one of the two percent speaking fluent welsh in the world

[@ianthomas3938]
