[@wendyrowland7787]

You have my sympathy Adrian, the government departments don’t care about the stress they can cause. Here in Wales a farmer friend was told to have a word with the Samaritans. I think your reasoning is perfectly sound.

[@richardparkinson8651]

Keep positive adrain, you farmer's are the backbone of the country, really like your videos

[@themayorofdipshittery3646]

Adrian, in farming the job is the easy but it’s the red tape and pen pushers that make it awkward and difficult. The gov are the ones that cause the problems and that’s why we end up sitting at night filling in endless stupid forms. Be safe and keep doing the job to your usual high standard Adrian 👍

[@MF12000]

Well said about the rules and regulations, big shots will never see the farmers side of the story

[@JonDingle]

We are living in a time petrification where extreme fear of the slightest risk is over-exaggerated and draconian rules are dreamt up. Another word to describe it is panic! Good video and I wish you well for the next test.

[@PaddyGun]

Adrian I would just like to thank you for taking your time every week to record yourself working around the farm, I know how difficult that can be especially when your in a rush, it’s really a great thing that you make these entertaining and very informative videos for us to watch for free, I would like to think KZbin pay you fairly but KZbin favours quantity over quality. My family sit down on Sunday nights now with the darker evenings and love your videos, best of luck with future calving season and selling your animals.

[@IFarmWeFarm]

Thanks Paddy, appreciate that mate

[@noelcxl2037]

That fitting will leak again, there’s a special welding Rod you can use on the stick welder for hydraulic lines, it leaves a gold colour finish. It’s a good job, I’ve done several with no issues.

[@IFarmWeFarm]

A 309 rod, I’ve used them in the past, yes there probably a better job. We’ll see how it goes and I will update if it leaks for sure. 👍

[@hughgalbraith9277]

Keep your chin up Adrian, farming life is tough, but again thankyou for all the hard work you all do out there.

[@Dermot501]

Couldn't agree with you more on your views at the end of the video,it is putting too much stress on farmers,and accidents can happen because of it.Thank you for sharing your experience and I hope your animals will be ok.Thanks for the update👍

Great video Adrian, all this hassle with testing again with cows so close to calving is a headache u don't need. Be careful in future welding wit short sleeve t-shirt, I know u wear gloves but can still get burnt from welder. Got burnt meself years ago when wearing short sleeves, be careful with welder. Stay safe 👍

[@johnobrien295]

Good man Adrian. Farmers r far too quiet for the department and those boys living off us are finished at 5 in the evening and no thought going to all d catch up that must b done on the farm they were at that day. Good luck 🚜 shopping

What a load of grief Adrian regards blood testing again. I feel for you and the other farmers that have to go through it all again.

[@nigelmchugh5541]

If the top-link hyd. fitting is hitting the rear housing of the tractor, put it on with the chrome rod end on the tractor, and the cylinder end on the lifter.

[@madeljacky]

Before i weld anything that has had oil in it i heat it up with a gas blow torch and it burns the oil off, then the mig welding doesnt go pourous due to contamination of the weld from the oil. Also warm steel welds better than cold steel so the heating makes it easier welded. Dont worry Adrian if your weld doesnt look as tidy as you would like, that will come better with practise, if it stopped the oil leak then its a success.

[@stephenkelly2067]

Love your films most suited to me content on KZbin

It a lot of stress and pressure on farmers caring for herds of cattle and the government don’t care about what farmers go true and good luck with the tractor search hope you find what your looking for

[@michaelconroy7445]

Same here our contractor uses notting only mchale fusion he had them from the very start and yes they certainly do make a fantastic bale. Great video as always Adrian keep up the good work.. And to just add to your conversation the people that make these stupid rules wouldn't have a clue how to calve a cow. Idiots we had a tb reactor this year after been over 20 plus years tb free so I totally understand where you are coming from it can get to you and then Idiots on the end of the phone given you orders.. chin up buddy 👍...

[@thetessellater9163]

Full marks for what you say, Adrian. However, you may be better off than farmers in England and Wales, who are getting increasingly frustrated with this current government bringing in a whole bunch of new rules that almost seems like they want to close down farming in this country!

[@thomasloughlin7102]

Hi Adrian, Great video as always, unbelievable the department of agriculture, they don't care one bit about you or your animals etc, they are having their way regardless and leave it there to when you ring the office, the response I have got on numerous occasions has been anything but helpful and made me feel and think that I must be stupid or "do you not understand" kind of an attitude and certainly not pleasant at all, shirts and tie's and fancy dresses 🤡. Well said Adrian. 👏 Great fix on the toplink and the Case starting 💯% like a dream. 🚜🤯🤗🐄👍.

Great Video Adrian Thank you for sharing....I love how grand your livestock looks and how immaculate your buildings, machinery and yards always look ...good job 👍👍👍👍

[@Helen-sound]

I think exactly the same Keith . I did once leave a comment saying so but I could have worded it better . I’d heard Tom Pemberton remark on how he aspires to have his farm clean one day like Adrian’s , or words to that affect . Unfortunately it sounded like I was dissing Tom’s farm . Well at that moment it was before he even started planning the new shed , they were flooded out in the fields and he just couldn’t keep on top of it , worrying whether they would get a 3rd cut . Then things turned , they got to use the shed down the road , they acquired more land he got his dream Case etc.,etc .,etc. Adrian reminded me he and Tom are friends , which I knew about but he was right and now you look at the system Tom has to keep the place clean of cow excretions . I’m half expecting to see a commercial version of those little remote vacuum cleaners but whizzing around between the cows’ legs .

[@keithaspin5160]

Your not alone, here in Scotland the ministry wanted us to bring all our highlands with calves at foot in to go through the crush just to check there ear tags. They had only been turned out two weeks prior and were miles away from the farm, there is no common sense in these departments.

[@colmscannell2448]

Its a 309 rod you need its for welding dissimilar metals

[@padraigbarron5603]

If the ball in top link is that stuck solid make sure you have the stabilizer arms are tight. You could crack the housing on the tractor if the implement can move as the ball cant

[@IFarmWeFarm]

It does move but not by hand power, when you use the pin it will move. But your totally correct otherwise Padraig

[@padraigbarron5603]

Ah cool. Sorry I took you up that the ball was stuck solid. Anyway least she's not leaking anymore.

Well said Adrian You are the same and no different than the rest of us, in what ever business. !!! I have thought for years. That some of these people in « the well paid part of Officialdom « Get up on a Monday morning and the first thing they think off. Is what new rule can we put in this week. Was the beast that came in from France, put into quarantine ? Better if the Dept of Ag got the problem sorted out at the arrival door !!!!

[@vxnova1]

Have you considered using the smart collar for the cows. It’s supposed to detect when the cows are in heat and sick. Everyone that has them seems to love it.

[@IFarmWeFarm]

Yes I have looked into them this year, one day I might possibly go down that route.

[@vxnova1]

@@IFarmWeFarm good deal, looking forward to see what you think, there seems to be a ton of people still not using them and anyone that does have them say they wouldn’t work without them again,

[@richardwalsh1838]

Hi Adrian, don't allow the Department to push you around, refuse point blank to carry out any further testing on your cows after they have been tested twice already, they are too close to calving and you have more than done your bit, tell the Department to get lost re. any further testing.

[@conorbuckley6764]

We had 32 not go In calf last year

[@joelwilkin3004]

Get them in quick Adrian beacuse with this year's grass being so good and them near ready for calving which when they calf the possibley get milk fever

I love watching your videos as I love animals and love watching how they are well cared for and the hard work that goes in to them. Thanks. On another note many of us breeding dogs have struggled to get the bitches in whelp and we’ve no idea why? Maybe the same sort of reasons as you as it’s up and down the country too. All very odd!! Keep up the good work you do

[@lauramonahan9343]

I'm a veterinarian (not a government vet) and farmer's daughter, and I apologize for the ludicrous ruling from my colleague. Can your local private veterinarian help intervene for you? YOU didn't import the animals, and you deserve compensation for any trouble caused by this illogical testing. I'm sorry. BTW, your collie is adorable.

[@ciaranomalley9274]

[@BrunyeeSalers]

“Stress from rules and DFRA” - I was three weeks away from my knee replacement and already being careful and not seeing people! Call to TB test ASAP - what happens, a heifer kicks me and breaks the skin under the knee and the operation is postponed for 4 weeks by which time recovery time falls into winter feeding! The stress on getting a friend to feed, rams in with ewes and recovery taking place later than planned is not good. Do DEFRA care or understand - no.

[@towel2473]

Great content as always. Bit late to this video, but anyways. I understand your frustration at the timing of the tests and them having to be done again, but from a neutral perspective from a non-farmer, I still remember the foot and mouth outbreaks. I'll never forget seeing full pens of livestock in flames. Some of these regulations and practices are for the betterment of the whole farming community. I'm not laying blame on anyone, but I think there needs to be give and take on both sides to achieve a safe herd and environment. You demonstrate well what its like for a small independent farm, you keep your practices clean etc, and your herd looks immaculate. I think again the unfortunate side to farming is its not a 1 man job, and all of the regulations and safety protocols make your job harder and may take twice as long. But thats the nature of the beast, rules are written in blood. anyways just my two cents. Wish you the best in future!

[@DonegalTDI]

I think that top link is fixed and you will probably still be using it when you retire. I agree with you about the forced tests, some years back the Department forced a TB test on my little herd of 18 suckler cows a month before calving when they had been clear tested a few months before. Two late calving heifers aborted and in 30 years I have never had a cow abort. Cattle react bad to stress and just want to be left alone, just like the owner. It's very annoying and like dealing with Hitler's Nazis and adds stress and uncertainty we could well do without. Different if it was justified.

[@daireharlin7681]

No check valve on the toplink is very dangerous

[@jwhitley101whitleyfarms9]

Adrian I said something about how ridiculous some of the rules and regulations are in your country and man did it pi$$ a few people off instantly. I believe in herd health and all of that but it doesn't need constant stress and testing to the animals when there is no need for it.

[@adriankivlehan3603]

👍

[@michaeloconnor9809]

Vets are supposed to coduct what's called surveillance which should mean every herd gets same inspection within a certain area. They decide number of visits and size of area . You have to ask what is the point of a test when all animals pass what is not a contagion disease.

Every tractor is different Paddy, best thing to do is measure the hole distance when the machine or implement is on and order the closest to that. All our tractors past and present have needed different lengths
