MAKING A BIG LEAK TO FIX A SMALLER ONE || HERD PROTECTION WORK

[@paulineheaney6945]

You've me killed working along with you Adrian, just watching you makes an old woman like me73 yrs sweat.. 💚☘🎉😂

[@agrisea.original]

Add some pipe insulation around those shallow water lines, that helps along with leaving the water dribbling.

[@gerry6420]

Never a dull moment. Least you found the leaks and got them repaired. 👌👌

[@themayorofdipshittery3646]

You never need to mess with water pipes in the summer, it’s always Baltic/freezing conditions when you’re up to your elbows in near solid water 🥶🥶🥶🥶. Funny that eh. 😂😂😂😂😂. That’s why my fingers and joints are knackered nowadays.

[@TB-nh4dg]

Despite the day to day farming challenges Adrian you still have time add some artistic flare introducing some nice camera angles to the vlogs… spring has nearly sprung 🌱 and the days getting longer ☀️

[@IFarmWeFarm]

Cheers mate 👍

[@jamesjohnston1007]

Great video Adrian

[@ipfreely10001]

Always a pain when you get an early-ish turn out only to have monsoons or snow to force them back in. But, at least you've had a few days or a couple of wks of less work, cheaper feed costs, DIY muck spreading.

[@ilovetractors40]

The snow is so beautiful

[@gerryryan2142]

Hi, I say you have the shear grab sprained. It's better to take every second block so that both sides of the grab have same pressure cutting down. I hate that snow ❄️

[@Gearoid35]

Nice video that, them water leaks are a pain snow looked lovely

[@roygosling2317]

Hi Adrian Just thought for future expansion all the times I’ve had to put in water pipe or electric that might be covered with concrete I’ve put it in ductwork then if you get a leak in a pipe just attach the new to the old and pull it through if you are changing direction like T joint put in a inspection pit And when the pipe gets nearer the surface put a good insulation round the pipe Looking forward to spring seeing the cows outside all the best to you and your family

[@padraicmcpartland7830]

The very real but less known side of farming. You can teach everyone a lot through your channel because you are a very handy man. Its times like that when farmers especially need to talk to others and it all resonates with your recent fundraising effort for pieta house.

Another brilliant vid boss as normal real inspiration 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@georgemorrison6689]

Great video Adrian, your a credit to Farming, it would be great if you could show more of the non farming community how hard it is, its not all about driving around on a tractor, its a way of life and you have to love it to do it, mind it does not make it easy to love, water pipe is high, not much you can do with that its got to lowered its even to high to isolate, is there any way you could reroute round the outside of the farm buildings rather than dig up the forecourt that way you could work with what you have till you had it ready to couple up, any way as I always say everyone has an idea, very enjoyable Adrian keep up the good work

[@padraiggeaney3167]

Brilliant video adrain that was one f@#%!*ing nightmare adrian with the two leaks to tear up the concrete just wondering could you fits the likes of a steel manhole in the yard if it goes again rather than putting in concrete again only to rip it up for the next leak just a suggestion you were busy enough you could have done with no leak or that lovely phone call from the meter reading people🙉🙉🙉

Ya should dig out line up high tape on heat tray line tape. On it all half do plug in line in winter that solve problem do over here on sprinkler lines in car parks here in NY

[@ronaldlucas5360]

Just take it all in stride and move on👌

[@tonymccusker1665]

Adrain, your grab looks to be benching to one side. Same as what ours did. The blade at the side eventually took lumps out of the steel that holds the 1st prong. We reinforced around where side of the grab is hinged with a bit of it's own steel plate and it seems to have sorted the issue. Also seems to cut alot better now as well. When ya think about it, it's a really weak stop when it's under hydraulic pressure. I marked up a pic to show ya where but can't seem to share pics here.

[@lindaarmstrongjackman9788]

I love watching the shear grab! Another wonderful video Adrian. Hope your water line is not a difficult fix 👍👍😁

[@haggielady]

Thank you for giving me a good laugh at the beginning. When you sped up the video, I was thinking what the heck were you doing going so fast. The time change here got to me, not enough sleep!

Adrian your vlogs are great. Can I ask a serious question. (1) have you ever been on a holiday with your family AWAY from your farm ? AND the other question is if you have, were you able to switch OFF from the farm and just enjoy the holiday. Not trying to be rude or offensive,

[@IFarmWeFarm]

We do get away for a few days each year, haven’t been out of the country in over 14 years so yes a good holiday is long over due and something we need to make more time for as a family. This year is the year 👍

The work is never done. Enjoyed your video. Hope your having a nice weekend. I heard March was going to be a rough month weather wise.

[@keithk1246]

As others have mentioned it's better take a block out miss nearly the width of a block so that each ram is under the same pressure when cutting out. If you work from right to left the left is doing the work and the right is working light. Similar to a twin ram linkbox which can bend rams if lifting on one corner. Don't think it'll do much harm.

[@ginaquincey5905]

Poor you, what a pain!

[@ryanmckinty4457]

Black leg is really horrible & often fatal. As a youngster I failed to spot it on one of my Dad's young animals & he died within 2 days. Highly recommend vaccination

[@IFarmWeFarm]

It’s very lucky if you can catch it on time, you can hear it in there joints at times. Very transmissible too. Horrible thing for sure

[@michaelconroy7445]

Super video, Handling facilities are a must around cattle Adrian as you well know, Can I ask what cattle tag supplier you are with,?. Keep up the great videos..

[@everestyeti]

Can't understand how they laid that pipe that height, anyone with an ounce of sense knows that a pipe that high I always going to suffer from the frost. Additionally in the summer if it's that high it will be affected by the concrete heating up, which could lead to other risks like legonela. Love how your cows were getting excited by being let out, fancy always loosing your tags, do you think she does it deliberately. 😂🤗👍

[@IFarmWeFarm]

Ya that pipe should never of been like that but I was working off farm that time so miss that one. Yes that cow would scratch herself on anything and the tags would bear the grunt of it. There are several cows like her 🤣

[@pennyneal2456]

Could you put an insulation foam around pipe like a swimming (pool noodles)?

[@IFarmWeFarm]

That could work, would love to dig it up fully though and bury it down deep. A least then it’s done with if you get me 👍

[@paulfinnan1984]

Try cormack tags much better

[@mikeysky8917]

That water leak under the house would put me in the clinic. We put a new water main across a field a few years ago and several days later, puddles started appearing. Faulty rolls of pipe. Started splitting under pressure. The swearing was atrocious.

[@IFarmWeFarm]

We bought a large roll of pipe back a few years ago the started splitting after it was buried, it all had to be dug up and a rep came out to look at it. It was splitting at the seem. Some nightmare 🙈

[@anthony342]

if you have a water leak best way is to put the stop tap key on the underground tap and stick ya ear on it and listen ..

[@jasondavies4887]

We cope because for farmers it's just another normal day. In farming you can sit down in the evening and plan tomorrow out, but when tomorrow comes most of the time everything you have planned goes down the toilet, and you have to do everything you can, eighvin if it means working 18 hour days to get through the day and get the work done.

FEEDING - with a HUGE expensive 4x4 tractor doing a job a smaller less expensive faster skid steer or better yet an AVANT should do 👀👀 85 THOUSAND subscribers - time to call AVANT for a demo machine to get delivered - it`ll be PERFECT for the small narrow spaces you are dealing with

[@IFarmWeFarm]

It’s only a 4 cylinder tractor, short and compact. I did look at skid skid steers before and was offered a demo last year, only problem is when winter would be over I would have no real work for it hear. The tractor switches over to the disc mower in the summer and maintains the paddocks which is a vital job. It’s just more versatile for us but yes Skid steers are very handy

[@drdulas5055]

As with your temporary crush at home, build it. If you do not build it you will regret it later if you don't because of making it easier and safer earlier. Believe me at 70 y/o I have regretted to many things I delayed. I do hope you put some kind of insulation like styrofoam or something over your water line.

[@IFarmWeFarm]

Yes I will build it this year, nothing fancy just something that does what I need a little bit easier
