So satisfying watching the tedder spreading the grass back out. 👍

[@brendanoneill1466]

Love it. Mowing, tedding, Ginger Warrior and Jo!! Love watching you mow. Love it even more when you miss the manhole!!

[@murphy1526]

Great surname 🤩I have a cousin called Brendan as well x

[@duncanmorrison7203]

Another great video Tom. Myself and my family stopped off at your farm shop on Monday and spoke to your mum and dad.We got the ginger guy to sign your book for my son since you wasn’t available 👍was nice to meet your mum and dad and see the farm shop.

[@stephenrice4554]

Nice to see your dearly beloved out to play , your dad always has a pearl of wisdom , good shots of the tedding . Hope the cows come on well . 👍🇬🇧

[@Drmbydanrabbit]

Another awesome video Tom and the ginger warrior! It really highlights some of the costs for cows to eat Abd the milk we get from it or would be interesting to do a video of the life cycle grass to milk to dairy / bottler? And everything it takes to get the pint on or breakfast ?

[@homey3051]

Thanks for making this week a little better!

[@TomPembertonFarmLife]

No problem mate 😊

[@barbarahunsdorf8590]

Good Morning Tom! Have a great day! Blessings

[@lewisdean22]

I think we'd all be surprised at how much it costs to farm.

[@LordGadwin]

Fuel is just a small part of the input costs of being a farmer.

[@huskykev9037]

I think most of Joe Public would be surprised at how much their food actually costs, especially the basics that are taken for granted.

[@Cosm1cCream]

I agree man. Imo I feel like only people who have been in the business for decades and have 1000s of acres of land can actually make a decent profit even with all the little expenses that add up. Ya know unlike small farmers trying to manage with how gas is rising in price as well as fertilizer and such. Plus daily maintenance and such

[@LordGadwin]

@@Cosm1cCream And the costs of equipment. A harvester can run you around 500k for a new one, or tractors running around 200k. Here in America the US government is still handing out depression era grants to farmers, but most of that money goes to the super large ones that already have alot. And its a shame how many thousands of milk is just dumped into fields as we over produce milk in large quantities.

[@jwhitley101whitleyfarms9]

We spend 26000k on fertilize, 1500k on fuel per week, 14500k on maintenance and we are just now finishing first cutting. I didn't put feed for cattle or any medication for cattle and that excludes truck fuel that's just operating costs for first cutting on 2000 acres.

[@samson1200]

Great video Tom! Love the mowing and tractor work you do. The fuel cost breakdown was interesting! Although that is just a fuel expense and not the true general cost of getting silage for cows. You forgot to pay yourself and your dad and the cost of renting the land. Feeding cattle is quite expensive!

[@MadhouseGaming]

I give every single of your videos a thumbs up Tom, Tues and Friday's are my favorite days of the week, and occasionally sunday is a good day if you release a video then too.

[@locallyn5643]

Tom would putting a post next to the man hole help you to miss them, if it was me I would put some sort of marker standing up to show where they are.

[@sam-P90]

Great video as always Tom well done for missing that manhole lol. Really interesting seeing the cost per acre mate.

[@donaldhuisjen5902]

Thanks for having such nice CLEAN tractor windows!

[@gavinclarke2744]

Very interesting TP on the fuel used, we used 2.1 litres an ac with JD 6155 with front and back on it (20ft a pass) but was always told you need 10hp a cutting foot.

[@PeggyStentzCasey]

Tedding and mowing.YAYYYY!!!!

[@novamyth9]

I hope ya’ll are doing okay with the heat wave ya’ll are getting. The fact you’re getting the same temps as we’re getting in Texas is insane. It’s pushing out power grid, which is another issue in itself, but ya’ll don’t have AC!! Please do a video showing how ya’ll are doing, the heat is no joke.

[@mistaken_stranger8343]

Another great video tom.

[@padraiggeaney3167]

Brilliant video tom that's good value for money per acre on fuel

[@scottgoode9874]

The mower looks good that’s the main priority!!

[@GotAnUmbrella]

Thank you for the update on the Bullock! I was so interested in who he belonged to!

[@MOMKAT1WV]

Always. Great to see Joanna. She seems complimentary to your family farming enterprise. I heard a farmer from US Midwest say when he married. He married a wife. Not a hired hand. I thought it was a great philosophy.

[@stevenjohns7017]

Fuel is my business's biggest overhead at the moment, can't see the cost coming down in the near to long future. Will of course end up increasing the end product price to the consumer. Going to have to look at alternatives maybe. Great Video Tom thx.

[@zzirSnipzz1]

[@marketmalc]

Hi. On the video before this one I made a comment about the manholes and there seemed to be a comment from you to text you. It was from Tom Pemberton but I had serious doubts. Perhaps you should investigate. I've been watching for a while now and thoroughly enjoy. Love the wisdom from the moustachioed one!!!

[@TomPembertonFarmLife]

Oh I’ll have a look, been crazy busy and haven’t seen yet. Thanks for let me know 😊

[@1carld]

Tom why don’t you put a marker by each manhole? In the US we have fiberglass sticks you push into the ground. They are Cheaper then replace heads on the mover.

[@TomPembertonFarmLife]

Tbf I do see them, just thought I could get over it 🤦‍♂️

[@ronaldlucas5360]

Nice 👌

[@maggieyake8054]

The views from the drone over the mower and the tedder are amazing. I could watch that stuff all day long. The price of fuel is ridiculous now, but in the U.S., it’s starting to go back down some. Hope yours is doing the same. Thanks for the interesting video!

[@dawnb8123]

UK fuel prices are dreadful. Prices do vary across uk, not by much though, just a few pennies. 4.54 litres to 1 gallon. Unleaded = £1.87 a litre, $2.24.........£8.49, $10.17 per gallon 😯 Diesel = £1.95 a litre, $2.34...............£8.85 $10.62 per gallon 😲

[@maggieyake8054]

@@dawnb8123 The US gallon is equivalent to 3.78 liters…slightly less than the Imperial gallon. But fuel is still much more expensive in the UK.

Try tying a strip of plastic on the fence next to manhole. That way you shouldn't hit it. Blessed be.♥️♥️♥️

[@bighgnb]

Great videos, really love them and find them very informative as well. Question, why not place a flag at each manhole location to help avoid hitting them?

[@peter6411]

Hi Tom, why not put white marker posts where the manholes are, as an extra safety for the mower. Just a thought. Peter

[@Meems56]

Maybe in a few weeks 🙈

[@classicambo9781]

And running hours on tractors, depreciation of equipment,servicing costs, land tax and rent, inputs on the pasture... the list goes on.

[@markpearson1685]

Great video again. Would it not be a good idea put something taller than the grass to show the man holes

[@rustyhelmick92]

Hey tom just a idea before u mow if u put a little marker flag at the man hole then u dont have to keep looking for it while your mowing you will know exactly where it is while mowing

[@alanobrien1817]

Correct, should be marked out somehow

[@colinmaynard2879]

Ha! Switch to fast time lapse as Jo starts talking 🤭

[@Tom-gr6nx]

Great video least you didnt break the mower lol .

[@kthemi10]

Hi Tom, I watch 'Dirt Perfect' here on KZbin, he's been putting in a lot of drainage tile recently. I was wondering if it would pay you to replace the manholes, with new tiling, and put the manholes on the outskirts of the fields instead of in the middle (thus preventing manholes strikes, damaged mower blades etc?). Love watching the channel and super seeing Joanna really enjoying the tractor driving/mowing 🚜👍🏼👏🏼

[@mattjupp5341]

Hi Tom great video! Would you think about getting a bigger mower?

[@ScottKTipperLife]

Hey Tom I have to ask why you mow the outside of the field so early on? I was always taught to leave it until last then if you hit something (outside being the most likely place to hit something) and destroy the bed at least the field is 99% mowed and you don’t need to worry as much

[@TomPembertonFarmLife]

Great idea… just always done it like that 🙈

[@mary-ruthflores4107]

My Dad always did the outside first to give warning to the critters so they run out. And gives him a space to turn and move with a clear sight

[@carlbous]

It probably doesn't matter if you have more fields to mow afterwards.

[@RawTopShot]

Always do the outside first or the AI hired help get stuck or leave early. (farming simulator 19 reference) 😂👍

[@dalemountjoy7611]

Do you have access to 4’ high flag or plastic posts that you could mark the manholes with ? Might be cheaper than a mower deck

[@timothymcclean5425]

Loving the videos when's the next ? For the "chop"

[@zipcode74]

Tom have you thought about using tile flags around the manhole covers that we use here in the US

[@leetaylor768]

hiya Tom, perhaps a very simple suggestion, i dont know how practical it is tho? re the manhole covers couldn't you just put a wee stake with a wee flag on to mark them? just pull out before you mow? cheaper than a mechanical replacement part on your mower.

[@FSLandscaping]

[@bonnienichols2778]

Hi Tom from Michigan USA! It looks like you cut the hay a little too close to the ground in places. I thought hay should have a 2" length from soil base. I hope your 3rd cut hay will be just has healthy as 1st cut. 👍

[@simdriver5029]

I know you work so hard on everything but just wondering when the Timelapse footage of the new shed comes out?

[@alancooper5386]

U need a bigger mower, come rent our's 4x12ft 4 rows done at once and cutting 48ft in one pass. only see one tiny problem. may not be able to drive it into some of those stone wall field gates.

[@Meowschitz]

I’ve always wandered if they sell swathers over there in Europe cause I can do around 40 acres an hour if it’s a smooth field but I also have an 18 ft cutting width just about six meters for the rest of the world.

[@DreamyEdit99]

I thought tom eating grass was hilarious.😂 Nice vid man

[@13squared2009]

Could that size tractor handle two of those mowers on the back? In my head I can picture two of them chopping leaving the width of the tractor unknown and then on the next pass you would drive down the mown part and continue getting double the work done.

[@James-prs-uk]

Still don’t know why you don’t drive a post in next to the man holes

[@zzirSnipzz1]

My ole boy mowed the entire field and did the deep back right at the end to save the knives the farmer he was working for thought he had forgot it lol
