Combine broken, a new calf is born and mushrooms! Version2 with extra clips

It was a busy bank holiday weekend on Harry's Farm, the combine broke, a calf was born and baling has commenced. Hope you enjoy this new episode of Harry's Farm.
Somehow managed to upload the same video again, which I didn't mean to do. This is the final edit version but take your pick between the two!

[@G.5.B.H.M]

I have just recently discovered and now subscribed to your channel. Really good to listen to and takes me back to when I was was young. I always loved working in the spring time and harvest time, although things have moved on quite a bit since the 70s and 80s. I couldn't help but smile to myself when you were driving up the hill with the loaded trailer and you were explaining what the tractor was doing, by itself. In my Ford 5000, you had to drive it yourself 🙂. Double clutch down the gears as smoothly and quickly as possible so as not to lose momentum, no syncromesh then. 😄

[@MartinJG100]

Watching something like this makes you realise the whole TV industry/mainstream media is increasingly out of whack. Excellent.

[@tostentwo]

Wow that's some rocky ground. Reminds me of an old farmer story from Minnesota, USA. City visitor, "wow, how'd all those rocks get into that field?" Old farmer "the glaciers dragged them in during the last ice age." City guy, ":what happened to the glaciers?". Old farmer, " I guess they went to get more rocks."

[@wernerdanler2742]

Good one! Don't look for them anytime soon. Like maybe a million years.

[@willtapp6068]

Just hit thumbs down by mistake against your comment and now can't remove it. Sorry bud

[@aylesburynumptydrivers9672]

Harry , my old boss always taught us to do the first headland anticlockwise as theres less chance of damaging anything in the header on the right hand end. As theres all the drive for the crop lift and wobble box for the knife on the left

[@harrysfarmvids]

I'd agree with that but with 6m grass margins round most of the arable fields on Harry's Farm, this isn't an issue as the wheat borders with mown grass.

[@marksol1881]

How well does Harry understand how TV works and how intelligent a lot of people are? Thank you Harry!

[@alexanderjbeeston8580]

I'm new to your channel and interesting that I'm just watching this now in 2023. I remember the optimism about everything back when this was filmed, mainly because the weather was great. Little did we all know COVID 19 was just around the corner, then Russia/Ukraine 2/3 years later and all the ramifications that this is presenting today, for agriculture and general life.

[@blahblahwhatblahblah]

If they are going to break, they ALWAYS do it on bank holiday weekends! Glad you got it fixed quickly.

[@grahamcull4077]

In Australia when unloading into grain cart, we call them chaser bins, we keep the tractor with bin at constant agreed speed and combine operator with better vision of chaser bin moves combine back or forward as required by varying speed.

[@jeffreykrout3034]

Boys with toys ..... Men and their machines ! Fabulous

[@brucebello2049]

Brilliant video Harry, binge watching wile on holiday, loving it!

[@johngourliemartin2696]

Should always insist your combine driver opens up a field anticlockwise! This protects the Wobble Box from possible stones and rut damage . great Video Harry

[@CHISEMAL]

What a beautiful part of the world; brings back memories of evening combining on our arable farm on the A38 at Deerhurst many years ago!

[@jcdasha]

Good tip for you Harry, next time belt goes ask dealer to hang/tie a second belt to back of grain tank looped round the pulleys....that way if it ever goes the spare is already in place and can be fitted in a fraction of the time....

[@harrysfarmvids]

Good tip, although I was surprised how quick it was to change and now it's done, it's a bit late! Nest time..

[@Jack-tx2ve]

This is great. I like farms and I have a Lancia or two. Right up my street.

[@clarkkent2913]

Very nice video. Amazing that the cow did the birth on her own. I thought that there would be a crew of vets necessary at the "modern" cattle.

[@stirlingbridgen7793]

Another great video Harry,takes me back a to my days farming. Really interesting great viewing

[@paultaylor701]

Seems an Ideal lifestyle, but it’s a big business. Great Harry, thanks.

[@blops16]

Another great video. Really enjoying your educational and practical approach to presentation. Also have to compliment you and your team on the camera and editing work. All in all really good video's Harry. Iv been watching Farmers on youtube for 10 years now and your channel is up there with the best.

[@malcolmgreening6936]

Amazed you do a days work in the heat, and then return to edit the footage! Please continue, it really is more interesting than gazing in awe at a V12 Italian motor!

[@jasongammon2767]

Great video Harry. Really interesting. Makes me yearn for summer

[@jasongammon2767]

Loving the Farm as much as the Garage

[@crazyfroggie6546]

Thanks Harry, very interesting, hope you enjoyed the Bank Holiday

[@veemcg3682]

Very interesting and informative. Thank you.

[@archiegoddard2714]

Perfect timing

That's living the dream right there!

[@jameshounslow7013]

Lovely British Summer evening

[@AaricHale]

I been really enjoying your videos !

[@daznichols5561]

Wow thank you harry love this videos so interesting

[@wernerdanler2742]

Are those mushrooms edible Harry? If they don't come from the green grocer I'd be afraid to touch them. Lol Wheat harvesting is quite an operation. A lot of farmers in the Midwest of the US don't even have a combine. They have 'custom cutters come through and cut for a fee. They come up from Texas and go all the way to Canada through the central plains where there is nothing but wheat. They follow the migration path of the American bisons through the harvest season. It was all grassland before the Europeans came and killed off all the bison and plowed it all up pretty much destroying the land. Of course the native people were left to starve, those that weren't outright slaughtered.

[@sh-hg4eg]

Wild mushrooms are much superior to the types found in supermarkets. Supermarkets only stock Funghi which has a decent shelf life (in the context of Funghi) which unfortunately means they stock bland species. The best Funghi often have a very short life and can even dissolve within a day of picking. As with any type of foraging, due diligence and some knowledge go a long way.

[@snakerb]

Came online just in time.

[@kreed1004]

does someone have to deliver the placenta after that calf is born or does it resolve itself somehow

[@stevenbevis5141]

Usually sorts itself out but occasionally needs removing 3 or 4 days after calving . Mustn't be physically removed too soon . If breaks bits can get left behind to startinfection .

[@paredding]

TBH Harry, for the amount of time these things get used, the fact they break down etc surely a lease deal would be better that includes all the maintenance incl parts etc - like a car warranty with a defined list of parts etc. It is a money making machine for the manfs and their approved agents. Bearing in mind all the sosts you have been paying on tyres and parts v what you get in revenue, it must really dig into your profits eg what is the national average GP for a farm 12-15%?

[@alanirishkelly6704]

Was the inexperienced combine operator at fault for the belt as your son hiding in Greece

[@archibaldchimpin]

It’s stupid but I love Harry’s farm.

[@sh-hg4eg]

It's not stupid.

[@colinrunciman5166]

Yes, this what you want, to know, and forget AsDa rgds Colin

[@welshdai7796]

Love your videos Harry. Really informative. What is the control panel for above the control screen in the tractor. Is it for a baler.

[@xxxdodacion7395]

About 1:25 there's a video edit mistake ;)

[@karsnoordhuis4351]

See americans, you dont need no pickup in a field. You can get much more tools n stuff in a big white van. My uncle also does agri machinery repairs and he has a complete workshop in the back of his van

[@thedrumbum1128]

When Harry met calf.

[@steed099]

very good

[@darrenmeears4667]

Brilliant very informative beats bloody country file hands down👍👏👐🌾🌞🚜

[@jamesbentall3984]

This man should be on mainstream tv to let people know what actually happens on a farm and where food comes from

[@markmezo]

I used to watch that when i lived in the UK, i know watch LANDLINE in OZ, worth watching.

[@EleanorPeterson]

@@jamesbentall3984 Hi, James! I understand your point, but I think Harry's much better off on KZbin. As soon as you go mainstream, fully-trained IDIOTS get involved. Content is debated, politics is introduced, and so-called 'impartiality' and 'balance' takes over. You can't say anything controversial; you can't express an opinion. It's hopeless. Harry would be gagged or sent away and replaced as a presenter by some vacuous photogenic bimbo with Merkin-style fake teeth and before you knew it we'd have another Countryfile on our hands. The greatest thing about making your own stuff for KZbin is that you're in complete control. You do what you want, if you want, when you want, the way you want, and can tell the 'media professionals' with their clipboards and ponytails and anti-everything agendas to go and tup themselves. Harry's brilliant precisely because he's where he is. I agree with you that more people need to hear what he has to say, but not on TV. I think the best thing we can do is continue to watch and Subscribe and rely on word of mouth to give this Channel the recognition it deserves. [Do you think I'll get away with using the expression 'tup themselves'?] ;-)

[@ianmedium]

Harry, I run a little watch forum on Facebook and had to post this and the other video i commented on with you wearing the annual calendar to show them how great it is that your wearing this lovely watch doing this work. For people not into watches, it’s really rare to see a Patek Phillipe being worn this way. Most just wear them with a suit or on special occasions or even, sadly, just keep them in the safe, not Harry though, he uses them in the real world and in pretty harsh conditions such as this with all that heat and dust. Your my new watch hero Harry!

[@SR104]

Harry you truly are a legend....skipping across fields on the bike wearing a Patek

[@kazman500]

Love the laymen’s information like when you talked about opening out the field. Would have never known otherwise.

[@richardtimms8733]

Good news Harry, the Combine won't break now for another 11 months!!

[@sh-hg4eg]

Lol!

[@jgvgjv2980]

Great to see you again, Harry

[@aronyak1]

When CFM roll up and they see the Ferrari and Lamborghini's, they know they don't have to tell you the price. Love the garage and farm videos!

[@mickc7388]

Having now watched most of the 'Garage' stuff now Harry even makes farming interesting.

[@CaptHollister]

I wonder if Honda ever considered that one of its XL600Ms would be used around a farm, lol

[@petereyre5188]

Great stuff, very informative and a pleasant change to watch a vlog with a fluent easy to listen to narrative style. Question is, how do you fit it all in?!!!! 👏👏👏💪🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@jinxed_jinxed_3443]

Bloody brilliant these farm videos Harry, much better than the garage ones :D lol more please.

[@grayfool]

What a great series. I'm learning so much. Always loved your work from the first edition of Evo all the way through Harry's garage and now the farm series. Thanks so much.

[@lesbrook]

I was in Kent at the weekend, and we came across a Tractor Fire that also took the trailer of grain it was hauling and some of the crop field too. I was wondering, if your large pieces of kit have any built in Fire Suppression? When it's dry like now, I would imagine combining dust etc is potentially highly flammable.

[@tjpj1919]

Loving this new channel! Learning so much too thanks Harry. I'll laugh if this channel eventually overtakes Harry's Garage.

[@youseetime]

Hi Harry, I was expecting that cow would have been very apprehensive about you approaching the calf? And that expensive drive belt! Not an item you want to replace too often!! Keep up the excellent videos, Harry, love them.

[@Pete-z6e]

youseetime , in NZ , some of them will have a go!, that or they will hide the calf.

[@jcgjcg2727]

As a man who was born in Tamworth and raised in Narrabri Australia, and who also has a love for the UK, it does my heart a lot of good seeing your videos. Fantastic content!

[@GregsMowing]

Did Gordon Murray design the combine harvester? Central driving position 👀🤔😂

[@terryatkinson899]

The new chucke2009 except Harry knows when to call in the experts.

[@Swimmingforlife.]

Geez oh tractors are very complicated things to drive now, fantastic video Harry. Kind regards Johnny

[@topbanana188]

Confused why they wouldn't tell you the price for the belt as presumably, you'll be paying for it!?

[@paulmarchant9231]

Price depends upon who you are..... In farming, you're very unlikely to be paying the recommended retail price, just how it is..... The price will be sorted out at the dealers office where the usual discounts are applied. For repairs to recent purchases, obviously some sort of warranty may also come into play..... But whatever, that combine needs repairing, like yesterday !!!!!

[@cafebeats189]

Great vid Harry. How is your Range Rover holding up? Perhaps some more videos?

[@AdamJRichardson]

I love how the mother cow gets between the calf and fence so it doesn't gets shocked

[@johnnunn8688]

Back in the early 70s, when I arrived in the Cotswolds, tractors were tiny, had no lights, no cover for the driver, nothing. Now, they are all singing and all dancing. Amazing changes.

[@tonymaries1652]

In engineering there is the old saying that a certain size bolt on a tractor costs about £1. The same bolt on a car costs £10. The same bolt on an aircraft costs £100. It might have been true on tractors in the 1950s but it certainly isn't now. I am a bit of an artist outside my day job and I like drawing landscapes and mechanical subjects. Agricultural machinery takes absolutely ages to draw and quite a few of my efforts have ended up in the bin before I succeed. On a car or a train most of the workings are hidden away but on agricultural machinery a lot of it is in full view. I liked the large bale / small bale and that selling a lot of small bales makes more money than the same amount of hay in a large bale. Hope all the hobby farmers around where I live are watching!

[@rogerpritchard]

I harvest rice in Thailand with 3 smallish 70hp harvesters. Harry, are you sure your trailer takes 7 tonnes of seeds a load? Seems alot! Roger.

[@toshiroyamada2443]

I'd love to spend a day or two helping out around a farm but sadly with my disability (visually impaired) I think I'd be more of a hindrance than help.

[@TheAslakVind]

One could mistake you for having fun, Harry..! Very informative :)

[@AliveGhost13]

Harry you uploaded same vid twice!!

[@pedromorgan99]

yep. was confused as well

[@mezalong]

Are you being a mong on purpose?

[@bmanduprit2962]

I now pass off Harry’s farming knowledge and claim it as my own when out driving with the kids. Shhh don’t tell Harry.

[@iansharpe8646]

Superb as ever. Interesting and informative. Thanks Harry.

[@k.kristianjonsson4814]

No Nuffield 4/60 for this man!!

I can’t understand why 14 dislike

[@kerrygleeson4409]

Very interesting Harry thanks for sharing 👍🇦🇺

[@JamesDownes]

Another great upload. Thanks again.

[@johnnunn8688]

The rear wheels, seem to have the tyres fitted the wrong way round, or is that so it can reverse?

[@jameshill8711]

Brilliant from start to finish. Thankyou.

[@twowheeler1000]

Just to be clear, you can use both pedals and the handle to use the throttle?

[@stephenrouse2233]

Harry I love your Harry’s Farm and Garage. Thanks

[@enricopunzo1820]

awsome farm after awsome garage

[@Clungehammer]

Why do you run the rear tyres reversed on the combine?

[@Mrbfgray]

Getting a little air time. :D 15:50

[@sarahjones-jf4pr]

What a life you have....

[@macawdor5065]

Excellent channel to compliment the Garage. Subscribed.. And hooked..! Keep it up, and good luck with the weather.

[@waynesallotment7757]

Harry thank you for a very informative video, It is good that you are showing the world the hard work a British farmer has to put in to feed people. All the best Wayne.

[@southjerseysound7340]

Another outstanding video. Also people don't understand especially in todays online marketplace. But a proper parts and service department can make or break a farm. When I worked for my uncles farm equipment supply house there was times I'd answer my phone at 10PM on a Saturday. The window for harvesting some crops comes down to days and even hours at times. So when something breaks it has to be fixed and if it cant they need to find a replacement ASAP.

[@harrysfarmvids]

Agree, having great back-up from your local dealer very important part of getting harvest completed at the right time

[@stephanegroen942]

Hi Harry. Tick VG. Great video. What about the yield? Above 10 tons to the hectare? What is the destination of of your wheat? Cattle feed or bakery? Cheers from Paris, where it is very warm.

[@sixtoes2313]

Harry. Really enjoy your Farming show. Harry there is a product call "303 Aero Space Protectant" You might want to do some research on this product. just might save you some money on your belts and other rubber parts.

[@ReferenceFidelityComponents]

Great video Harry...much prefer it to the garage even though I'm a petrol head (in my case for bikes). One question if I may...do you ever lose much crop to deer? I had to help reduce deer numbers a few years back (not far from your neck of the woods) when in one field alone, deer were responsible for about a 2 or 3 percent loss of crop...principally flattening the wheat in circles whilst ruminating. Love seeing them but boy can they do damage if numbers creep up!

[@adriankingdon3055]

Hi Harry, Interesting update. I grew up working on a dairy farm and must say that I miss it. I also worked in the family motor trade business which despite loving cars, I found to be mostly headaches. What would you say is your biggest passion, farming or cars?

[@jimbascombe7707]

Be glad it was just a belt. Our chopper eat a chain. Destroyed nine knives at $90.00 each. And that is on top of a lot of other damage. Glad that we can fix it ourselves saves money on an already expensive repair.

[@adamgrocco]

I'm curious, do you keep in touch with radios when out and about round the farm, and when offloading the combine into the trailer? Do you have remote control when the combine is piping out, or controlled by driver? or some sort of proximity transponder setup?

[@edwardrook6246]

We see these combines in the fields but have no idea ,until now how complex and challenging it is to be a good farmer. I like the fact you keep some areas for wild flowers etc. Very interesting .

[@markguppy2715]

Thanks for the insight Harry. As a child I lived next door to a dairy farm in Somerset so never really saw the arable side up close. Very interesting.

[@robdawson5494]

Thats another great video Harry, can we please have a Windy boat one when you have the grain store full and got caught up.

[@SomeTechGuy666]

Rotor belts are designed to be the weak link. Make sure the drive and driven pulley cams are greased. That is an easy belt to change.

[@trucker-ron]

Just found your vids,great farm, great commentary all the best

[@jonathantaff3007]

stunning ! Brilliantly spoken ans infinitely interesting . Thank you so much

[@simonjones7785]

all the equipment youngsters being born and a bike at the end makes me miss my grandads farm more than ever.. nice job harry

[@didjeramauk]

Enjoying the vids. One of my fav things to so in the summer watching the harvest being done!

[@boxerdog5979]

Looks like hard work, stressfull, and very rewarding. Harry you are a good man.

[@allsearpw3829]

When your belt breaks there,s a good chance your trousers are coming off.
