Day 403

[@charlierogers1500]

Saw you on the news this morning, caught me off guard 😂

[@neilcollins9250]

Hi watching in Malta age 59 originally from west Yorkshire great stuff keep up the good stuff

[@avafw60]

Watched you live on bbc at 6 am then seen you all filming in the field around 6:30, good interview Olly. Pity you couldn't get them up to interview the roundabout crew and ask them what's taking so long !! Swivel drawbar is there so it doesn't drag the tractor over if the trailer tips over.

[@alex5983]

Brilliant video Olly, thank you!

[@OllyBlogsAgricontractfarmer]

Thanks for watching

[@bobbrooks266]

Very enjoyable video yet again sir. The swivel hook on trailers is a great idea saves the tractor turning over to should the trailer tip over. Am already looking forward to tomorrow's video. Regards to the family and farm crew

[@charliepenney1144]

That wedding venue is amazing

[@piddyrascal]

Is that The Barn at Yew Tree Farm?

[@MrGazz999]

Another enjoyable one mate!

[@tomstafford3706]

Hi Olly Another great video Well done getting to 13.000 🚜🚜👍👍

[@masseyferguson5470]

Great video as always mate

[@swtkth]

Hi i'am 32 and i'am watching form the Azores archipelago in Portugal. And the swivel hitch is in case your trailer flips over that way the tractor wont flip with the trailer.

[@OllyBlogsAgricontractfarmer]

WELCOME

[@craigdoig9486]

Great video again 😀

[@lordjoelcox786]

Yet another great video Olly

[@donaldtriumph1682]

Missed the news this morning. Congratulations on 13k the hitch is to help prevent tractor rolling if trailer turns turtle 🐢👍🏻👍🏻

[@brown6480]

Todays quiz question, it allows for better following of the tractor and in my experience if someone rolls a trailer with a swivel hitch on it tends not to take the tractor with it

[@philipbutler9404]

Great video Olly like the little Merlo nice for tight spaces can do just as much as the big ones is it on demo.

[@henrywoods9972]

Great video👍

[@lewisferrier1680]

great video love the little merlo

[@wilmidwales1287]

Watch you on the BBC this morning had a metal band jam the auger for the chip the other night started to cut silage this afternoon Wil mid Wales

[@johnlea4779]

Really good video again Olly.

[@niallmurphy4496]

Well wear with the new Merlo, great video has always Olly.

[@OllyBlogsAgricontractfarmer]

Thanks 😊

[@harrywarne4567]

In case you role the trailer the tractor doesn’t flip as well. I find some one always leave them turned the wrong way to be a pain though 😂

[@7810ftw]

love the mini merlo ! . swivel hitch if someone tips it over its doesn't damage tractor hitch i guess . nice to see you on the telly you deserve it getting famous now lol

[@christinegibbins6105]

Thanks Olly, the swivel hitch is so that it gives a little on rough ground, if it rolls the tractor won't go with it? I helped with A Galaxy Chocolate advert many years, took them 6 days to film a 1.5 minute add!! Take care.

[@farmerbailey2542]

maybe solve the number plate bracket issue if you take the tow hitch off( not required) , bolt the number plate bracket upside down and rotate the number plate on the bracket, that way you keep the number plate lighting

[@chrisjones4228]

Forgot to watch😅 love the blogs tho!

[@Murphyslawfarm]

G'day Olly

[@jameshopkins9097]

Another ace video .pick up hitch eye swivels in case trailer tips over irrigators do the same

[@OllyBlogsAgricontractfarmer]

👍🏻

[@johnsutton4125]

Thinking swivel reduces wear on the pick up hook and towing eye

[@simonpegge2843]

Very professional this morning ! Pity no mention of your utube channel but it is the beeb so no advertising !

[@johnirons9223]

Congratulations on the 13000!!

[@OllyBlogsAgricontractfarmer]

Thanks

[@L.Coramtractorsandplant]

Dose the hitch swivel so if you in a bumpy field it doesn’t twist

[@johnmcandrew4029]

The swivel on the trailer is better for the pick up hitch on the tractor it’s got some give for rough ground and tight angles. Also if the trailer is going over you stand a chance of keeping the tractor up right for longer 😊

[@OllyBlogsAgricontractfarmer]

👍🏻

[@alfienorton762]

Love the vid

[@roberthiggins6401]

Hitch twists do of the trailer tips over it won't risk taking the tractor with it. Cheers for answering the cost of that part, bloody expensive!!

[@wilfcottrell2669]

Good vid olly

[@carrolrhind2540]

Due to a dump truck working on lots of uneven ground. Helps with movement and incase of toppling over. Keeping it green .

[@OllyBlogsAgricontractfarmer]

Yer I am

[@samtoseland7944]

It's for when the tractor tips over or the trailer tips over to stop more damage to the machine

[@anthonymorgan6774]

Congratulations on 13k on words and upwords.🇮🇪🚜☘️

[@OllyBlogsAgricontractfarmer]

Yes

[@alfienorton762]

You are my best KZbinber

[@tazmeadows2925]

So the traler can tilt on uneven surfaces with locking the hitch and straning the towbar and tiltig the towing vehicle

[@dafyddmason4559]

Keep the trailer level but if goes wrong only trailer goes over looks better on the insurance

[@johnobrien295]

Well done on 13k sub. Swivel hitch so tractor don’t roll when u put mileage on side of trailer🙈. Try using waxoyl on Walter shield top link ball. Use on loadall boom and dirt doesn’t stick to it and reduces friction 😜

[@harveyyarham4516]

Like the little merlo olly

[@chrisduvall4213]

Nice seeing you on bbc breakfast this morning Olly. Is for better movement when turning when trailer is attached, possibly a safety feature?

[@adamsouthern8183]

top blog mate

[@OllyBlogsAgricontractfarmer]

Thanks

[@chrisflemington819]

When lifted the engine cover the engine itself seemed really quiet which must be a good thing as it’s easier on the driver!

[@cmotdibbler4454]

Looks like the Merlo was a Friday afternoon build from that paint job. The swivel on the trailer eye is so if the trailer decides to have a lie down the tractor doesn't have to have a lie down with it. Also jammy git got some rain.... still dry as a nuns chuff here

[@kevinmanley2498]

Could the merlo possibly have been dealer touched up with paint by the apprentice?

[@OllyBlogsAgricontractfarmer]

I did think that 🤔

[@stephennewman4693]

So the trailer can run/at a slight angle.

[@mal9393]

The quiz question,I dare not say that’s it’s so you can tell somebody to sit on it and swivel

[@gamershadow5295]

Hi Olly i am a huge fan and a dairy farmer and run the kit you do im a friend of yours on facebook i was thinking you should make a mini series with the project merlo

[@OllyBlogsAgricontractfarmer]

I will when I get time

[@gamershadow5295]

@@OllyBlogsAgricontractfarmer ok

[@JohnDeeres-ij1cb]

It’s so if the trailer is going to tip sideways the tractor won’t tip

[@themayorofdipshittery3646]

Not sure if I like the rear lights on the mudguards, a bracket off the rear block might be better also a split door would be handy on the “baby merlo” just being super picky though there’s no such thing as the perfect machine 👍. Looks a handy tool though.

[@andrewdennison7969]

Take the pick hitch off and flip the number plate hold round like upside down

[@andrewwillison2304]

The swivel eye on the trailer is so it can let the trailer follow the ground contours better over rough ground

[@OllyBlogsAgricontractfarmer]

👍🏻

[@MattYoung93]

Been working all day, you got a link to the news report?

[@Paul-vd2sp]

The swivel eye on the trailer is so it can let the trailer follow the ground contours better over rough ground. Also if the trailer tips over it doesn't take the tractor with it. Is the Mini Merlo on demo or bought?

[@thomasroderick5088]

Have you tried graphite on the ball

[@gerrardhaigh5697]

It would be nice to try get a cherry picker basket and how it’ll work ??

[@garrymobey912]

A swivel hitch so it can move over rough terrain and if the trailer tips the towing vehicle doesn’t

[@OllyBlogsAgricontractfarmer]

👍🏻

[@philiphall4805]

lights on the mudguards on the merlo ? how long will they last ?

[@oliverrichards7477]

The tow eye swivels if the trailer tips over so the tractor doesn’t follow it over

[@OllyBlogsAgricontractfarmer]

👍🏻

[@middaynapping7840]

Many differences between the mini merlo and the 32.6 plus?? Is it the same.but newer model??

[@thomastaylor1283]

The swivel hitch is so you don’t put twisting force on tractor when you turn it on it’s side. Don’t sumo say use solid cat 3 links at all time but they still snap but lucky I only took out one tyre major repair needed. Just looked out widow and it’s snowing what have you done to the weather ?.

[@richardflinter4024]

For rough ground. 👍👍

[@e.graves2783]

I think it might be if you tip the trailer it doesn’t snap off

[@yeetyeet98]

If the trailer roles the tractor doesn’t

[@RaysFarming]

It is incase the trailer is on a slope and the tractors it save snapping the hitch

[@OllyBlogsAgricontractfarmer]

👍🏻

[@grahambarton4563]

Great video , is the baby merlo on demo ,how does it compare to the wacker newson or have you brought it , tv star now as well as great you tuber thanks

[@OllyBlogsAgricontractfarmer]

Thanks

[@johnhyde2407]

So when you go on uneven ground it can move.

[@dannycrooks8462]

If the trailer goes over you don't tip the tractor over it's also better over tough ground and doesn't wear out the pickup hitch

[@OllyBlogsAgricontractfarmer]

👍🏻

[@danbramall6856]

Quiz questions in case the trailer tips then the tractor won’t

[@richardstrange2630]

Quiz answer. swivel on the trailer drawbar will allow the trailer to "twist" without forcing the tractor to roll , over uneven ground . Guess therein dance worked ???

[@OllyBlogsAgricontractfarmer]

Yes

[@ludvigpersson7418]

So the tractor dosn’t fal over if the trailer dose

[@fraserthompson3761]

Im confused lol have u bought the mini murlo or is it on demo

[@OllyBlogsAgricontractfarmer]

Bought

[@gerwynhumphreys4291]

The swivel is so the tractor doesn’t get damaged if the trailer was to tip

[@OllyBlogsAgricontractfarmer]

👍🏻

[@mikekinsella7575]

if the trailer is going to go over on its side, that hitch will stop it pulling the tractor over too

[@danpreece5036]

If you tip it over then you won’t break the draw bar (I’ve had experience of doing that)

[@2626stephen]

Yes I did spot you as well. Baby Merlo looks tidy paint job not the best

[@laurencegibbs2753]

Once upon a time I made a d plug to usb charger

[@lubovmurtagh4667]

So if the trailer rolls over and the tractor doesn't roll over

[@aidanfendt6117]

On the trailer it is for if it goes over it won't take ever thing with it

[@davidcorlett3266]

So if the trailer was to go over good vid as normal 👍🇮🇲

[@arwelagrimachinery]

Im going to be different and say , a advantage to those swivel hitches is its easy to change them when worn if its something that does a lot of work , just a nut on the back no welding , maybe need to cut the old nut off though

[@williamclarke5601]

It swivels if the trailer rolls over it doesn’t take the tractor with it

[@billygillespie7589]

Just in case a tumblers I want to do any harm to the trailer tractor🇮🇪

[@stugill4513]

that paint jobs the same as a fiat as well , and yes my wife has 1

[@OllyBlogsAgricontractfarmer]

🤣🤣🤣

[@christinealmond4665]

If the traler flips the tractor stays the right way

[@joeinglis132]

A young man like u felling the cold then

[@chrisjones4228]

In case the trailer tips, the tractor then theoretically shouldn’t 😂

[@thetessellater9163]

"mini Merlo" is the wrong word, I'd call it the "micro Merlo" - defo the telehandler equivalent of the Fiat 500 !

[@jcbjim5960]

So it doesn’t wear the puh it can articulate

[@cathalquinn5487]

If the trailer turns over saves the tractor from going over. The ware the hook on the tractor bad doh with all the movement.

[@OllyBlogsAgricontractfarmer]

👍🏻

[@cathalquinn5487]

@@OllyBlogsAgricontractfarmer we are using ball and spoon now on the slurry tanks very happy with them

Also is the mini merlo to stay?

Yes

New merlo or on demo for a few days ?

The hitch is for when someone runs out of Talent lol or the trailer feels tired and has a lay down 😆🤣

[@JackTibbles]

Is the mini merlo on demo or have you bought/financed it if you’re making all those changes?

[@OllieTyrrell]

I wondered that
