Our New Yamaha Kodiak 700 ATV | Trying To Save A Cows Blind Eye

[@capatron]

Adrian, most people would just say well he is nearly 90 and that's just what we have to accept now but credit to you for finding a way to make it possible for a little longer. Great care of your cows too and you deserve the good merch sales.

[@IFarmWeFarm]

That’s true but he’s still very active, I know if I was his age I’d would want to keep going as long as I could. Thank you 👍

[@oldschoolfarmer7610]

Adrian its great that you've given your dad back the opportunity to get out and about again. It saddens me my own father not around anymore to see what I'm up to even though for sure he be telling me I'm doing it wrong :-)

[@IFarmWeFarm]

Sorry to hear that mate and totally get what you mean 🙏

[@djalba1163]

Big respect for selling what I'm guessing was your pride n joy bike or car to help your old man out 👍 love the vids

[@gabrielbourke1194]

Clash of the Donegal and Cavan accents! 👍

[@henryfarrell1]

Fair play for treating the dad well. You are rising up to the top of my KZbinrs after that. Doing Ireland proud!

[@James_Smith715]

I’ve always remarked the respect you have for your parents, it’s evident throughout your videos and encouraging to see. One of the best stockmen on KZbin. Best of luck with your new quad Adrian and family

[@IFarmWeFarm]

Wouldn’t be here without them I guess, I’m lucky to still have them to look after. Thank you lad appreciate it 👍

[@Rmc456]

I’m beginning to doubt you’re a Cavan man at all, every time I watch a video you’ve spent a heap of money

I’m so glad to hear that your dad has been out on the new quad.

[@IFarmWeFarm]

He does visit a neighbour on it every so often, he doesn’t have to go out on the road to get there either as our land goes to his front door. He’s there as we speak

[@gerardcudmore1556]

Great gesture to your father allowing him to regain some of his freedom and letting him help you at same time. Glad to hear he is enjoying it to.

[@martinfisher6987]

Another cracking vid just shows how much respect you have for your parents seeing ol man out about makes you smile

Clipping the cattle is a great job, clipping, at same job at the minute at home. Best of luck with new quad, ur father will be delighted to be going out and around again. I see at home my own father who turned 87 few weeks ago is always looking for something to do with tractor even just go look at cattle.

[@criss0077]

I did exactly the same and changed my quad for the steering. Power steering is an absolute dream especially when reversing with a lamb trailer on the back.

[@IFarmWeFarm]

Thanks Lad

[@ianhaggart1438]

Cracking quad there... make sure we see your dad's 😁. Your old bike looks new and I'm sure the new owner will need to keep looking after it 😉😆. Check the fuel filter on your quad( you will probably never need it because of the amount of use it gets ) get a water filter glass on there and drain the crud out once in a while saving the carb/injectors. My suzuk didn't even have a decent filter from new and had to replace the carb it's a old bike now but still going strong. Stay safe 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Nice of you to do that for your dad Adrian at the end if the day family is the most important thing. By the way you made a good call new Hondas are absolutely rubbish compared to your old one. Best if luck with the new wheels 👍

Bejasus puting father up on 700 cc great. Job enjoy watching your farming from NY some looking yoke fair play ya for looking out for father he some fun that make sure turn down throttle on him

[@IFarmWeFarm]

Aw he took to it like a duck to water, I kept an eye on him for a while just to make sure he didn’t sow the boot “ he has a habit of that 🙈” it’s an easy quad to ride once you get a hang of it, belt drive is more responsive for sure

[@TB-nh4dg]

A lovely looking machine Adrian, quite the upgrade with the winch, hitch and accessories. Hopefully the transition to the new machine is relatively easy for your father and a wee boost for both of you I’m sure… Slainte 🍻

Hopefully he will get lots of use out of the new quad, good to hear him still out and about 👍

[@HootMaRoot]

Never driven a kodiak but I have driven many grizzly quads and they can drive through anything and anywhere out on the moor/bog, and these wider tires are the best upgrade you can do

[@IFarmWeFarm]

The Grizzly is the same machine just a higher ground clearance and geared slightly higher for trail riding, it would be very common in the US. Little bit more expensive too. Yes tyres make a machine for sure 👌👍

[@HootMaRoot]

@@IFarmWeFarm thanks for that info, I always thought the kodiak was aimed at farmers as you mainly see farmers selling them or at ag dealers

[@rogerbasker6970]

Hope you have all the good luck in the world with your new purchase. Your dad will like the power steering. The cows look to be in great shape I hope your caving season will be good. Thanks for taking us along. Have a great day!

[@j.b.6577]

Ah yes, the famous reverse mooo-hawk! The height of winter bovine fashion from coiffeur vache Adrian. (I hope I translated that correctly... it sounds so much more posh in french.) That's a really nice quad. I've always been partial to Yamaha motorcycles and ATVs. Best wishes from the US!

[@IFarmWeFarm]

Yamaha’s seem to be very popular in the US, I do watch a good few Agri channels that are based there and that’s what they all have.

Hi Adrian love your videos best wishes with your new quad could you put the bale carrier in a video 😃

[@nialljackson6924]

It’s not Pus Adrian, it’s fibrin which is helping eye to heal and eventually cornea will clear again as healing finishes helped by the antibiotic eye tube. She may not see as well from this eye so worth bearing in mind when moving her around calving etc

Good info to have Niall, it’s well healed now and the sight is definitely returning. Is that caused by an infection or a bang?

[@johnjordan4647]

Well thought of getting a upgrade so your Dad can still get around. Just a thought do they not supply roll over protection. Here in Australia it is the law all new quads have to have them fitted because too many deaths from roll overs and people getting killed by getting trapped underneath the quad. All the major brands threw their toys out of the cot and pulled out of Australia. That has opened up the market for less known brands to fill the void and sales are booming. The wife should have gone another step up and got heated hand cover as well as mirrors given your inclement weather in Ireland. Thanks for the videos and have a safe and Merry Christmas to you and your family

[@IFarmWeFarm]

Hi John No laws here regarding roll over bars, I did read about them though and found out that Europe won’t support them as they think the bar itself can causes serious injury! It’s an unusual one. I never actually see one in person but did see the price which was insane, that’s to do with import charges I guess. I’m very surprised that no company in Ireland or the Uk don’t design there own that’s priced correctly as they would sell. The heated grips sound a grip job, will have to drop another hint at herself 🤣. Thanks Lad 👍

@@IFarmWeFarm Adrian if you give me an email address I will send you a photo of one at the local dealer. Pretty simple device just to keep the quad from squashing you if you are trapped underneath. Cheers Mate

Very nice quad, but an even nicer reason as to why you bought it. Indeed, a most wonderful Christmas present for your father and I don't mean the quad, but the independence that the quad gives your father to move around and do what he wants and to continue feel useful on the farm. Those are the most wonderful gifts and the quad is but a tool in the process. You are a good man Adrian.
