Day 5 - Run off my feet! | Harvest 2023 | Western Australia

Today we battle with a thunderstorm from last night and then the thunderstorm that keep coming throughout the day. We have Summers on hand now so he is in the chaser and JH is able to move all the bins to the new site!
Now Tom's Brook is doing Movember so we encourage all you to donate! Even if it's only $2 it's all going to a good cause! And of course there is the chance to win a hat or stubby holder.
2 hats going to the top donors
2 hats going to two random donors
4 stubbie holders going to four random donors
So you need to donate for a chance to win it!!!

Can’t get bored watching your videos

[@tomsbrookfarm]

That’s what I like to hear!!

[@collinhowell2064]

Welcome back George, we're happy to see you smiling face!

[@darronmitchell2974]

Should set the moisture machine up on the back of your ute with a generator it would save a lot of time and driving

[@user-kf9fv1qj9u]

Good luck combining your 2023 crops

[@user-kf9fv1qj9u]

Welcome back George

[@stakman78]

1 truck 3 trailers. What a beast of a unit. I never believed the flies were such a P I the ass in Aus.

[@user-kf9fv1qj9u]

Great video JH

[@joneckert8797]

Absolutely love your videos JH keep them coming and OCD rules, nothing better than things being right, I bet Brian thanks you because it makes his job easy

[@tomsbrookfarm]

Cheers!

[@williamburns9731]

Just watched ya ol mate Jack outback, good video drilling 2 bores and plenty of good water and plenty of honest working words 😂😂. Great video Johno.

[@danman2070]

So how did those field bins get dents in them? Did that happen during moving or something else? I would imagine they could get pretty unstable in the right wind when you're travelling alone. Love your video's. Big thanks!

[@WayneSpencer]

Should weld a hitch to the back of the feild bin so you can tow the auger behind when moving

[@markstephens6362]

Love the videos from Texas

[@tomsbrookfarm]

Thanks 👍

[@user-kf9fv1qj9u]

17.5

[@MrSimo123321]

Self propelled augurs are a back saver as well

[@tomsbrookfarm]

Yep so glad we went to them after having the old three wheeled push alongs! Makes it a one man job now!

[@merv190]

You’ll have to get another couple of those 100 tonners. Shifting those bins and augers must be a pain in the ar•••.

[@tomsbrookfarm]

Yep that’s definitely what I am thinking too. Only problem is I need to find a tractor to go on the new bin 🤔

[@user-dq8eg5kk7u]

That good

[@robertfoster7807]

how much does it cost to plant 1 hectare of wheat or canola or barley family was in farming 43 years ago the machinery pretty technical now

[@26dato]

If you’re canola goes over a ton to the ha your beating most of the east coast by the sounds of things

[@brettellis3948]

OI how goods the flies at the moment

[@tomsbrookfarm]

Yep just lovely! 😂

[@user-hq6mr1yz9r]

How is your harvest going

[@tomsbrookfarm]

getting there! only a few days left!!

[@robertfoster7807]

how much tonnage are you getting a hectare in yeild

[@7ChordsLater]

The mow is gone

[@tomsbrookfarm]

It’s currently growing! These videos are delayed so it was October when I was filming

[@paulluger3264]

Great vids, how come you don't use a portable moisture meter.

[@tomsbrookfarm]

We have tried them in the past but there is just to much variability in them to rely on them. With our moisture fluctuating so much it’s easier to have a large calibrated unit that I know I can rely on. I’m happy to do the driving to make sure my moisture is correct 👍

[@davidmontgomery6170]

OCD field bins

[@tomsbrookfarm]

For the win!

[@ryanw1651]

Do you cover field bins when it’s raining or just leave them

[@graeme8755]

Tom question for you, why don't you have the tester in the back of your car. Instead of tripping back to the farm. That's wasting time.

[@tomsbrookfarm]

Couple of reasons, the unit needs to be on a flat surface with constant power, if you drive around with them you will cause the calibration to go out and it won’t be useful. The second is that it’s a hire unit that is meant to be in a central location for other farmers to come and use. There are three other farmers who come and use the unit at my shed so it wouldn’t be fair to them if it had it with me out in the paddock the whole time

[@simoneckley1597]

How many tones off Bailey does the lorry carry at a time to town.

[@tomsbrookfarm]

79tonnes

[@doubleograzingcompany2780]

Where do you find that fancy hitch? What’s it called?

[@tomsbrookfarm]

It’s called a Lazy Hitch and it’s from Hitch’s and More

[@leroyhall4401]

Would it be very hard for someone from NZ to get into farming like this in aus i've always been so fascinated by it but we just don't have this over here

[@tomsbrookfarm]

To own a farm, yes very hard. To work on one like Henry has done, very easy! There is nearly a kiwi on every farm come harvest and seeding!
