WHY CAN'T I JUST DO IT??

Today's video is later than usual. I'm just back from holidays since last night so I recorded and edited today. It's an update on the grass situation which isn't looking good and I tackle the silage wrap for recycling.

[@nellie7681]

for mental health reasons every farmer needs to have a break away to recharge and family reasons

[@Barchenhund]

We took one week off every year after harvesting or after planting. Our neighboring farm family watched over our livestock as we did in return for one week watching over their livestock.

[@danjdclark]

I'm always jealous of the farming community for their community spirit. If someone is in trouble then neighbours always spring into action to help. I'm saddened to hear about those comments. You all have something so special look after it. Lift each other up Don't put each other down. ❤❤❤

[@JimAndrew-h9x]

Another great video Karen, as for the reversing the trailer you're not as bad as you think. I know a lot of people who couldn't even get it in the door. Every farmer deserves a holiday, ploughing match, Tullamore, Balmoral, or a week abroad. The ones that are commenting probably are 5 days a week 9 to 5 workers.

[@ernestcano2442]

You're doing just fine Karen, don't worry about what anyone else has to say. You and your dad are doing great. You are really learning a lot about farming and everything that comes with it. Love you and your videos.

[@bobs3501]

Another great video kid !!! Don't be so hard on yourself. You're doing a fantastic job there. !!!

[@davycrawford1795]

Nice to see you back great video never listen to the muppets take care

[@andrewellison1203]

Karen you are a grand young lady, and the 🐄 probably through OMG she's here again 😮 lol, p.s i hope your dad is 👍 grand ❤

[@patrickosullivan4021]

Ur doing fine with the reversing, practice is the key, but Ur not as bad as you think. I'd say you would manage it better with the 390, ud have a better view sitting higher up, & the mirrors would help also, glad you enjoyed your holiday

[@elginsparrowhawk7203]

Not necessarily, two wheel drive opposed to four. If the 135 has power steering and it’s light on the steering could be the better tool for the job.Turning circle is also better on a two wheel drive. Mirrors are useful but quite often can be broken and no use at all! You can always use seams in the concrete,roof centres/rafters/beams etc. Best to use low box and a few revs set on hand throttle rather than using foot throttle. If the trailer tips, you could part tip it(lift the trailer body slightly) so you can see behind.Not sure if it had a backboard? You just need more practice and you will get better at it.

[@colmanlong1032]

Karen,your doing Trojan work and pls give yourself a bit of praise, Your a way better tractor driver than you give yourself credit for.

[@liambrophy7574]

You need a loader badly takes hardship out of lots of jobs

[@johnmitchell5571]

Of course you are entitled to your holiday, mentally and physically it is necessary. Grazing the reseed will promote tillering and will be good for the grass.

[@AussieKool]

Backing up twice, That is great work, Don't be so hard on yourself.

[@OxxFreddyGlasgow.]

Welcome back. Another great video Karen. Your 135 is in great condition. The mic is working great. The reseed is doing really well. The camera is showing the growth really well. Everyone deserves a break.

[@karenmoynihanfarm]

Thank you 😊

[@rdekort9273]

Congrats on your new grass field,looks good 👍🏻greatings from the Netherlands

[@erikklein-x6u]

The parking brake may have been stuck on?

[@CraigShortland]

Your hard worker, you do a brilliant job and you speak a lot of common sense 👍❤️

[@paddy294]

First

[@oliverkennedy8110]

When you're reversing the trailer remember just follow the trailer

[@greenenergy9969]

I love your thinking, your a brilliant person for farmers metal health, well done and thanks for your thinking

[@MobileDevices-ku7ls]

At least you didn't back across the camera Karen,keep at it.

[@scottkrieger4701]

You take any and every holiday you can seriously. ❤❤

[@declanconway2903]

Welcome back great video again big change in the weather here in County Kilkenny I have the Stove going and watching KZbin

[@karenmoynihanfarm]

Ya it's turned bad now. Got progressively worse as the day went on today

[@sharp1977]

You miss the stones because your top soil is washing of. Go regenerative and bread the cows smaller

[@theburnhams2925]

No use putting down fertilizer w/o water (rain!) Glad you had a "grand" time in Greece (your word, not mine---I don't talk like that..) but at 28 degrees C. we're chilly and startin' to put on jackets here in Fl. Always enjoy your videos. Try a bit of 34-0-0 on your pasture, it might just work.

[@joeclancy868]

You work hard so a holiday is well deserved

[@barrymcdonnell8592]

If anyone is entitled to a holiday it's a farmer, ffs there are no days off for farmers and I'm not even one

[@alanpugh8192]

Take care Karen good video x

[@gerryoconnor8751]

Well said Karen 👏 👌 👍

[@PaulRyan-ns5rm]

Well done karen

[@JohnBailey-x9j]

2 fine fields

[@normanarnold9851]

Hello my name norman Arnold I from schoharie ny I watched you every day you are doing good on your farm I don't work on farm about 25 years

[@normanarnold9851]

If you need help on your farm I'm am free I will help you on your farm you are working hard on your farm

[@gerrybrown]

I didn't go ploughing I must be a great farmer xDD

[@MBSnapper]

Well done for speaking up against the toxicity that is hustle culture .. no matter what the industry. Besides, in what world is two jobs not enough 🙂

[@erikklein-x6u]

Criticism is very often a childish expression of envy and reflects much more negatively on the critic,than the criticized

[@briancronin8476]

Jesus you tan extremely well 😂..I'm in the same boat with the reseeding, not just ready to feed yet,hopefully it won't make took much rain over the next few weeks ,maybe get cows into graze it🤞Getting help is the biggest issue to be able to get away 🤷‍♂️

[@richardcanning7351]

Take no notice of the people making these stupid comments. You work a full time job and then do the farming after that so if you can take the odd break go for it. These people either don’t work or work 8 hours a day 5 days a week and have the cheek to complain about not having enough paid holidays! 🤬. Great to see you back

[@karenmoynihanfarm]

Thank you!

[@ronaldhunter9011]

Hello Karen do not listen to the people about holidays they might not have a job an you put in long hours you deserve your holiday I wish I could work again so enjoy life when you can

[@redhat4249]

Get someone to check your wheelbearing right on the trailer if you are looking back its slightly lower angle than other might be your noise plus ruin your chances of reversing easily like having a break on a wheel does that make sense won't turn as well as the intact bearing. Lamp at night and look for yourself the numbers of rabbits 🐇 it will effect your grazing and regrowth they like younger fresher grass coming out more often early morning evening and night they move from wet to dry the rabbits like having a few extra cattle on the farm

[@raymondmcalonan9265]

Keep at the reversing it will get easier

[@JohnBailey-x9j]

Well come back to the farm ❤❤

[@markyoull6744]

great video

[@ralphkanagy4602]

Nice video

[@aidanwhite2836]

I wouldn't bother buying more cattle if I were u

[@karenmoynihanfarm]

We don't ever buy cattle...

[@jamescunningham1973]

Your tan is incredible,i hardly recognised

[@karenmoynihanfarm]

🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@leighwade6232]

Beautiful Karen glad you enjoyed your holiday have a Beautiful week sending ❤ from Australia ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@patodwyer721]

Nice one Karen. Great video. Sure isn't farming just one continuous holiday. You have the farm looking great

[@snakeboren4814]

I Watched UR Interview With Louise Bout Ur Sisters TELLING U ..2 Join Social Media...!!!

[@lesterhertel2945]

Another very interesting video Thank you 😊😊😊😊😊

[@PeggyStentzCasey]

I think you do amazing work on the farm and you certainly do deserve a break now and then!!!

[@jamesthompson8865]

Farming is a great way of life but there's more to life than just Farming

[@erikklein-x6u]

You will have to make a promotional video for Tipperary grass seed

[@irishdancer2753]

Karen, welcome back from your hard earned holiday!! Your reversing was terrific and all your grass looks really green, well done! No time for nonsense like these people. Everyone deserves a holiday….

[@seamuscusack7937]

Welcome back another great video Karen

[@JohnBailey-x9j]

You're turning your wheels right so that why trailer is turning left

[@motoole3200]

Welcome back to Ireland. Did you get a Sun tan? Would you go back? Did you learn some green Greek? 💚🍏

[@harveystephens6115]

Pasture looks great! What are you doing with load of bags?

[@mariebuckley1655]

A farmer's week is 7 days. I bet it is the 5 day weekers......who are paid for their days off.....who make those childish remarks.... Everybody needs their batteries recharged once in a while. BEGRUDGERS😡 You are doing a mighty job. God bless your efforts.

[@franksmith552]

Hi Karen, your fans are glad you managed to take a small break and I'm sure the cattle look contented because they know you're back and look happy🙂

[@JohnBailey-x9j]

Always turn your front wheels on tractor to left that make your trailer straight

[@glynroberts1682]

Welcome home good one enjoyed 🚜👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@johnscully1836]

Your doin good Karen, fair play,..

[@russellpetrie119]

ignore the jealous gremlins

[@rdburnett1373]

Karen You called it a pike , here in Canada we call it a pitch fork . Not sure you need that info but there it is Love all your videos

[@johnlydon533]

Great video Karen , there will always be begrudges no matter what. Everyone needs time off, we are not going to live forever! Enjoyed watching. 👍🏼👍🏼

[@johnsheahan2279]

Try rolling up the wrap hand tight from each bale as you open it. Easier handle each little bun afterwards!

[@SeanMcgovern-z8v]

Hi Karen, another great post. Don't worry about taking a holiday! You left the farm in good hands. What was the issue with the 390 starter?

[@Johnjoemurray-fl9zv]

Another great video Karen, it is a complete godsend to get away on holiday & nights away and going to the ploughing is another great event. People are by far too negative saying otherwise (even up to my face) when we go on away the neighbour looks after our farm 110%. hope you & Rob enjoyed the Ploughing & Greece. Keep up the Great work Karen, from West Cork.

[@Gearoid35]

Good video Karen, the weather is gone bad, don't mind them stupid comments everyone needs a break

[@DsmeclanNoonan]

Your receding looks great Karen improves the farm grateley ,and you're right everyone deserves a holiday if only to recharge the batteries .

[@IanPothecary-dx1jd]

It's only practice Karen, u didnt do that bad anyway. Ignore those ejits u work twice as hard as most people, why shouldn't u have a holiday like every one else. That field looks beautiful, u will reap the benefit from it. Cheers, poth

[@EdwardBrady-ls6up]

Hi Karen. If u new someone with sheep they would make great job of the reseeding for you .

[@BrendanWhite-e3y]

I agree with you everyone deserves a break from the farm 😊

[@luckyshamrock7241]

☘️💚not sun and San gria to come back to but fair play to you getting back into it karen, another great video 💚☘️

[@ThomasLynch-uy3kb]

How come you didn't use your loader to put in the old silage rap

[@andrewwebb2691]

Good that you enjoyed your hols

[@scottkrieger4701]

I don't know how it works over there for trying to get sponsors to help you out with costs possibly equipment etc.

[@michaelstaunton1632]

Well holy god as Miley would say !! The experts in the comments are people that know everything about nothing!! You keep on doing what you and fair play to ya 💪💪💪

[@rayeddy528]

I am so glad you took some time off, Karen !!!! So many people live to be negative and I am so sorry you have to deal with it !!! And the sad thing is Karen, and I hate to say it, the more your channel grows, and it definitely will grow, the more jealous and mean comments you will get!!! I hope and pray you will receive many, many more positive comments, because young Lady you deserve them !!!! As I have said before you are a very, very hard worker !!!! Please be careful and God bless you and your love ones !!!!!!!! Eddy

[@ricktucker5130]

When you get the chance you take off when you can I'm from Kentucky and I know a lot of hard working farmers who took time off You never mind what some people say You work hard And I enjoy watching your videos

[@denis-mf3cx]

The reseed looks grand 👍

[@pj20050]

Good for the mental health to get away from the farm and socialize with other farmers, it should be encouraged really

[@JimF500]

Dont be fretting about the trailer, its a skill that takes practice. Want the trailer to go right, lock the tractor to the left, and vice versa. Looks alright to me. Did you get it into the shed in the first place which looks tight for anyone ? Trailer sits high on the chassis.....you need a break, some dont take any, which cant be good.

[@dw1920]

You work your butt off two full time jobs and the 2 one is hard and the cows I think love you if anyone deserves a vacation it’s you don’t listen to the keyboard nuts ❤ps glad you had a good time

[@johngreaney451]

Hi Karen lovely to have met you in the ploughing ,, myself and my brother had a lovely chat with you and you deserve your holiday the same as everybody else hope you enjoy your holiday in Greece and Karen i am off on my holiday to a place called Kathmandu, Nepal and then going climbing Everest Base camp

[@MartinGlass-nq8hm]

Your doing Great Kid Keep it up

[@coughlantom4139]

Karen there are people who wake up every day with one ambition " how can I be negative today" So don't even give them acknowledgement . Keep 'er Lit

[@gerrybrown]

Your field is looking super though besides odd bald spot but that will sort itself out too

[@erikklein-x6u]

If your Father had not been injured do you think that you would be doing the same amount of work on the farm that you are doing now?

[@PeterJohnston-d8c]

Stop over- thinking when you reverse your trailer, line up where you want to be then just watch the back of the trailer, the steering will come with practice. Everyone needs a break from the daily routine, agri shows are great for socialising and just being with other people, too many farmers are isolated for too much of their time

[@briantaylor467]

Karen darling don't worry about them idiots ive known ❤farmers who have taken some holidays through the years and nobody said anything i always agree with you darling sweet sexy young lady xx xx

[@thomasmcweeney230]

Hallo Karen another great video do not let them stupit comments get to you if a farmer takes a holiday he will have a mountin of work when they gèt back

[@antmorgan5255]

You deserve your holiday it is important to look after yourself and take time to relax and unwind makes life easier. 👍🤠

[@DeclanMcGrade]

Just a thought the noise you heard taking the trailer out of the shed maybe a wheel bearing on your trailer i though when you were backing into the cattle shed that the left hand wheel was leaning in at the top i maybe worth checking

[@richardwilkinson7273]

All right I'm going to tell you a little secret when you are backing a trailer put your hand at the bottom the steering wheel I promise you it will make it easier to back together give it a try

[@larryklostermann5779]

Nice video Karen

[@martinkelly4682]

You need to get a loader for the 390

[@michaelking9254]

Reversing a trailer is not easy. I think you need to get the left and right aspect out of your mind. Try using your mirrors and when you see the trailer moving in a particular direction turn the steering wheel slightly in that same direction. You may find it easier if you turn the wheel constantly from left to right a little bit at a time as you reverse in a straight line. But practice is the name of the game. Good luck.

[@ellenchapman5293]

There will always be those who like to knock, even when there is nothing to knock, those people are sad. On a good note, great to it greening up nicely for you, after the work put into it :) Keep on keeping on.

[@diederikvandedijk]

I remember when I was learning to back up a trailer, I would look at the front wheels and just point them in the direction the trailer has to go. This is so easy to see that you don't need to think hard at all and get confused or anything like that. Also i practiced a lot with a toy tractor. Worked for me anyway.
