IRISH FARMING STORIES FROM THE PAST - MOWING MACHINES

In today’s video we sit down with father Phil and uncle to talk about mowing machines from the past. Ones my grandfather had up to the 1st John Deere mower we bought in 1998. Uncle also tells us a story of the farm history going back 200 years which played a role in how we came to be farming here.

The two boys have a wealth of knowledge, hats off.

[@brendanwhite9799]

They have great memories like to hear them looking forward to seeing them again at another open day

[@magsprettejohn2160]

I loved the story about the two lads that were mowing with the scythe then disappeared never to be heard from again. Have you any old photos of the working horses you had on the farm back in the day, would love to see them if you have. Always sad when these chat videos end, could listen for hours.

[@cdemo1186]

Jess was giving out "Philip" 😂😂😂 Great video,love listening to stories from the old days.

[@johntaylor7427]

Lovely to see and hear uncle, a true gent and a wealth of knowledge

[@seanmcguigan346]

Ask your dad and uncle if they ever saw a cutting bar on an Austin 12 pick up?

[@44birdie44]

I really enjoy this style of video. Find these chats very interesting and would love if you did an episode on your uncle and father's views on the changes in Irish agriculture from when they started out to now. 1. What the main differences in the last 50 years are. 2. What they think is good and what is bad about 3. What do they see the next 30-50 years looking like. You'll be able to look back on these videos in decades to come. Excellent stuff!

[@What..a..shambles]

I done a day scything yesterday of rushes and thatch ,I tell ya I was stiff and even with gloves on the hands are in bits ,and there was no acre cut 😅

[@johncoen7380]

Enjoyed that lads , Lovely to hear the stories of times gone bye , Your dad and uncle are two great men "" salt of the earth,

[@jonathanmurphy3342]

The two men have some great stories. I see you are also in the farming indo today.

[@jerryodriscoll3691]

[@colmcoakley3916]

[@TadhgIrish]

[@alicegamble6145]

Great video. Your uncle & father have such good memories. Its amazing the information they have to share about your farm & farming in general.

[@antmorgan5255]

Great to hear the old stories of farming in the past keep them coming. Did a small bit of work with horses when I was very young great memories. 👍🚜

[@derekfinn6077]

Two gentlemen with a wealth of knowledge keep up the good work men from wicklow

[@684ih4]

The auld lads always said about the scythe "If you don't sweat sharpening you'll shite cutting"

[@123456BobJackson]

They sure have a good memory about your and their heritage...................wonderful. Thanks from Canada

[@jimosullivan4866]

best Video in awhile , listening to Father Phil and Uncle reminds me of my Father and Uncle, Both started with Horses ploughing and mowing in the 40's , upgraded to Grey Fergies and upgraded again , my Father to a David Brown 880 and my Uncle to MF 135 in the early 60's , Finger Bar mowers were the go of the Day , Also they had a unusual 3 furrow plough , 2 furrows ploughed to the right and the other Furrow ploughed to the left , locally known as a Ridge Plough

[@aidan4703]

Can’t wait for bailing stories

[@MrShanbla]

We found the remains of an international harvester mowing bar in a ditch at home over the winter, The father is mad twas forgot about as would have made a nice showpiece!

[@jamiewarner9884]

😂🤣😂 farther phil "do you want a f###ing slap" don't think he's up for that challenge 😉

[@thewippit8717]

I was creased at that 🤣🤣🤣

[@paddymickiemickie8221]

Brilliant again So sorry to hear of your Uncle Ian’s passing I picture it like this His spirit will be some place chatting with his mates about times past and waiting for that 1200 to be polished up and a 4 furrow behind it

[@roberthiggins6401]

Good to hear Phil! Nice to see uncle Phil, Phil, father Phil, Phil and yourself Phil. Uncle Phil's looking well too, Phil.

[@michaelbeckingham6220]

These round the table videos are brilliant and just think into the future if you have children what a way to learn about grandad and back into their family history

[@rory_holohan]

Great stories from the past lov listening to them.

[@zftransmax1]

Love the story time... in 97 we got a brand new 1365 jd mower with a grouper and it was on the lift arms not a draw bar... and I was pulling it with a 93 massey 3095 some gear for the time...

Great idea. Love old stories

[@tommcdonald4905]

We still use a 1350 JD absolutely brilliant mower...

[@anthonywestofireland2503]

Another challenge for father Phil could be to put a bearing in the washing machine! Good stories

[@dellhell8842]

Great video guys, wonderful story telling. You are documenting social history. 'If you hadn't a good Edge, you weren't going anywhere'. There's a certain rock band that would agree. I remember as a kid sharpening sections on a Ransomes finger bar mower. My father had a Featherstone mid-mounted mower on a David Brown 25D in the late 50s and early 60s.

[@paddypoolfc3579]

That was fierce craic. Really enjoyed it. Just like home.

[@paddy294]

[@TrevorChristie-e3q]

Did yous ever have any Krone or Kemper mowers?

[@seanmc6957]

Still to the good i love it 😀

[@claetuswoodroofe4164]

I started mowing in 1994 with a 8 foot John Deere mower I can honestly say it was the first proper reliable mower I used. It had a swarter fitted to make a nice sward for a taarup ten X laying on top rather than side by side

[@theghostofcornpop4175]

New JCB video comming Phil ? 🤔🤔😉😉

[@massey420]

rip Ian

[@danielconnolly1296]

U should buy a krone mover

[@patodwyer721]

Nice one Phil. Father Phil and Uncle Phil must know every kind of hardship that machinery can provide. Rumour has it them two boys with the sythes headed to the USA and changed their names to Frank and Jessy. You need to rein in you women, you stated for the record that you were out working at 6am and they contradicted you. It would be more in ther line to be serving ye lads refreshments at the table and going quietly about their business 😂

[@peterbourke9048]

I cud listen to them men all day.

[@ethanwoods2347]

You should get a newholland
