SIDE SPREADER, MAINTANCE + GINGER CHATS

[@trevorjarvis3021]

This has to be one of the best videos you have put together Tom, simple, informative, interesting, sensible details from your great dad, I totally agree with his thoughts on using the older equipment (which he has so well looked after and maintained) absolutely brilliant. Your idea to have a joint session with him every so often is great, because once it’s on film (video) it will never be lost and could be used for future generations to come. Your a great family!

[@TomPembertonFarmLife]

Trevor Jarvis thanks Trevor, really appreciate it, it’s so nice reading comments like that. Thank you very much for watching and taking the time to comment :)!

[@helenmccrindle3147]

Yes more of The Ginge. I can really see where your gift of the gab comes from. Love from Australia

[@matthewparker2045]

I love listening to yr dad, he gives loads of information and detail; what he's doing and why. Education and entertainment.

[@stangiles2001]

I think you dad is great, ease more of him, wealth of knowledge. I grew up on a small farm, but didn't have a great relationship with dad as he had many unwritten rules, and dad had to take the hardest awkwardest way about doing stuff. I travelled the world , worked on many farms , learning from great people everyday. I even returned to Ireland and got a government farm managers job. Just sad that I could never work with my father even after 40 years, he is still going on farm so grateful for that at 77.

[@AlextheDutchDairyfarmer]

Man! I miss my dad after seeing this.

[@nktigger99]

I feel the same way! But I also am so glad that Tom will have these to look back on when the time comes many many years from now that he loses his dad. I would have given anything to have something like this to look at now.

[@mrtimelapser3396]

Nichole Bird these vids won’t be the same without Tom’s dad

[@MayorofDipshittery-lq7if]

You find that your father is full of that knowledge that you absorb. Fathers are great at dripping knowledge into your brain a little at a time but it’s usually when they’re gone that we appreciate it 👍

[@Strigulino]

I feel the same. Lost my dad a couple of years ago. He was an artificer in the Royal Navy and then when he left he serviced forklifts and electric vehicles. Watching Tom's dad reminds me of my dad showing me how engines worked and how to look after my car.

[@DonaldKing23]

Your Dad is an awesome guy. Always enjoy listening to Him explain things.

[@TomPembertonFarmLife]

[@markb1487]

[@paulparnell3839]

Tom we love every second of being with your dad on video he’s amazing,we love you relationship it’s special keep the videos coming and Happy Farming

[@tadhgpheaitwillie]

I would just like to say that I love the simplicity and naturalness of your videos. What I especially enjoy is the relationship and cooperation you have with your father. There is nothing more pleasing and lovely to see than a father and son working their farm together in harmony and forming a strong bond together, and you both do that so well. It is amazing. Well done mate and keep the videos coming.

[@richardkerin1377]

Hy Tom, great vid, would be interested in podcasts or videos with your dad, he’s a wealth of knowledge and enjoyable to listen to, definitely do it 👍

[@TomPembertonFarmLife]

Richard Kerin I’m unsure which one yet. I know how to do videos but think he would do better on a podcast

[@richardkerin1377]

Yeah agreed, maybe try a Joe Rogan style interview video which is easier potentially to transfer to podcast, I enjoyed the video where you sat around the table discussing the silage analysis. Either way looking forward to it. Keep up the good work 👍

Thank-You Tom, for including the Ginger Warrior n sharing the time with him.

[@stephenrice4554]

It's true , these videos are chock full of wisdom , daftness , great machinery and really good looking beasts . Rock on fellas

[@nathanu425]

Got to watching Tom and his Dad quite a bit now, worked in mid 70,s on a farm in dales near to Lancashire border and can can relate to the emphasis on the livestock and not necessarily bigger and larger farm machinery which seems to be getting even crazier size/exspense wise. Like your set up and business model it's good you are supplying your local community and not slaves to the middle men and supermarkets take care and best of luck to you all . Michael

[@eraaspr1]

Tom we need to see a funny video of the "Ging" playing golf, that would be great fun! Some drone footage as well of it! Follow his group for a couple holes, I'd love to hear that banter! My Dad RIP was a Ginger warrior too! From Seattle, Wash.

[@georgiaannbicknell6129]

Oh that hat! Andrew has his own style. Too cute! So much has changed in the last two years. Amazing! You look so young in this vid.

[@lorineidtinytoadplot744]

Best equipment for the job is what you have 😎 I have about I Acer and a half fenced in for horses. Last year I loaded a little dump trailer to my lawn tractor, filled it half full with manure, added water, ran out in the field, stired it up and dumped it. It would spread out about 10 to 15 foot round. Then, I'd go back and do it again and again. I also used a couple tires chained together to drag the field with the lawn tractor at the end of the season before it was covered in snow. Should have some thick grass this season. Learnt all this watching farmers like you and your dad 💪💜

[@jakegibson9389]

Hi tom and the ginger Warier,that was a great video,you guys should be so proud of what you are doing for the British farming community especially dairy farming, great to see father and son working together I had a tear in my eye as it took me back t the 1970s when I helped my dad with the baling on a small Scottish farm top job thanks again

[@lindenbergers]

The Ginger Warrior is in a great mood today, look how happy he is to be getting the muck done. Woke up in Colorado to a freezing fog that would hold up to a British standard! Couldn't even see the water on my lake, and the defrost on the old van couldn't melt it down before it froze over again. Winter is here!

I picked up on this a few months ago in another video and iv been doing the same but on a way smaller scale for the stock and to be not far of summer here in south australia the sheep and calves are happy to still have nice green grass thanks to you and the ginger wise man and a not to happy land owner next door because i won't let his stock have some

[@TomPembertonFarmLife]

carl byrne That’s great Carl 😀

[@jamesshand5111]

Mr Tom, I agree with your father, little grease often is better for bearings than lots pumped into it occasionally. When I used to spread dung with a side spreader I opened the lid for filling and then closed lid for spreading. Noticed in video you had it open when spreading.

[@TomPembertonFarmLife]

james shand Hi James, yea I know I forgot to shut the lid 🙈 too busy droning, my bad but yes I agree :) thanks so much for watching. I’ll remember next time haha

[@russellmiller3660]

I agree with your comments. your tackle is good enough to do the Job. You look after it, it looks after you for years. The main thing is your stock is in top condition. Your stock looks well. New machinery is nice to have but not a necessity. Keep at it you Pemby Lads Happy Farming.

Hey Tom much respect to your father a real grafter bit like mine now 81 had cancer twice and still out at 6 every morning to feed the cows they both know the value of a pound as for the machinery I'm with you yours maybe old but it owes you nothing so that's as profitable as it gets great vid as always

[@FarmerJulian]

I reckon you could push Sherbourne or even Kuhn to provide a side slinger, where it really jettisons the muck.. can deal with everything from Slurry to thick straw dung.. you could do a review... could do a 10m load, or bigger if you have the pull available, but the slinger is only 1.3m across, chops it as it flings it, so you can control wafer thin spread, or mass coverage

[@georgegoertzen4723]

It puts humus back into the soil too, that's the big problem with just using the land for cereal crops repeatedly, it gets depleted. We need the animals to make the muck so we have stuff to put back to enrich it again. We need to get back to what our forefathers did - crop rotation, companion plantings, cover crops, hedge rows, sheep, goats, swine and chickens as well as cattle and not cooped up in farrowing stalls and battery cages but free ranging so they are out there interrupting each other's parasite life cycles and using the land in different ways and putting back into the soil their own gifts.

i love the idea of "Tom and Ginger", some nice father and son time. My father likes to explain things too, and i must say that i have gotten a lot of gold from him over the years. The key is not necessarily the equipment, but how you use the equipment that you have. Lots of love from Denmark, and keep up the good work ;D

[@TomPembertonFarmLife]

kristian rysholt Thanks mate. The most important thing is the cows do well 😀

[@rysser31]

Point taken😄 last year we got a used Fendt 939 Vario, and I was over the moon about that, for a farm of our size, to have equipment like that is fantastic... my point is, to the viewers, that if it works, then why change it. The only reason we got it, was because it was a good deal, and because the old massy died on us 😁

[@lukem9865]

Totally agree with you there Tom, new kit doesn't make you any better or worse at farming. your priority is your cows and it shows! dont get me wrong we would all love new kit and new buildings but its certainly not holding you back. we are much the same so your not the only one. brilliant videos keep it up.

[@moorc2730]

The thing I like about your farm videos is that you don't use the latest and most expensive kit, farming is a business and about trying to make a profit, and you and your family are showing how it should be done, High welfare for the livestock, looking after the land and selling direct to the public with the farm shop and milk round this is proper farming and great to see. Plus if your dad had bought a new John Deere and put up a big new shed he wouldn't be able to play golf on a Wednesday as he'd be having to try and find the money to pay for all.
