The Next BIG Step Forward For The Farm

[@mrroyal1960]

Great to see Cal and Carbery plastics products in the north east, continued success to this Irish based company, congratulations Adrian on supporting a truly Irish product. Wishing your dad a speedy recovery.

[@Murphycats]

I love to watch you build/install because you always do such a good and neat job. Love watching you making your farm even better. Hope your Dad gets out of the hospital quickly. You have great help from your daughters!!!

[@willyfindlay4398]

Best wishes to your Dad and your Mum. Never great when they are in Hospital. My Dad is 91 and Mum is 90 .❤

[@bevakathedementedraccoon]

Sending love and well wishes for your Dad and whole family. It's never easy watching old age (and all it's complications) happen before your eyes. Been there as carer for all 3 grandparents. If you ever need a break from vlogging so you can focus on family, ffs please do. us viewers are a lot further down the priority ladder and would be only too happy to wait for a new vid . I know you already know that, but sometimes worth repeating it lol. Nice to see the tank going in, won't be long before its up and running.

[@PaddyGun]

As for your volume wash pipe I think your 2nd idea of running it up the length of the roof and having access to wash down yard with hose or more importantly machinery such as mowers as I find it’s much better to use low pressure and volume to wash equipment throughout the season and then a good jet wash beforer housing. Also connecting your current washing hoses into the new tank/pump system is a great idea

[@FlyingFergyMan]

Great video Adrian, Id go for a wee tank in the attic, at least you have some capacity if the water goes off and a bit of pressure the higher the tank is. Best wishes to your father and speedy recovery.

[@roadwarrior8560]

Great job, those are great looking tanks, rainwater harvesting is a great idea.

[@paddymickiemickie8221]

Great job Adrian Hey you can paint your 90 fitting black 2 minutes with a spray can Yes plastic tanks are brilliant and handle some frost much better than concrete due to elasticity , but I wouldn’t leave for a week of minus 10 We have had plastic tanks here in Oz for over 30: years no problems so far they handle the sunshine good Wishing your dad a speedy recovery Paddy in Western Australia.

[@declanoshaughnessy7733]

Best wishes to your father and mother health is wealth may they get better you are making a wonderful job of installing water supply it means everything to have a great storage and supply on a farm keep up the great work 🖐️🖐️🙏🙏

[@chrisoconnor5880]

Hasn’t plastic fittings made farm plumbing so easy, I was in charge of all water on a 640,000 acre cattle station in outback Australia, no rivers or standing water on the property, everything was pumped from bores, some as deep as 600 feet, but I loved the poly pipe and joiners, so simple to use

[@IFarmWeFarm]

There expensive but yes make the job very straight forward

[@randybutler4772]

Great water retention project. Good helper makes it easier. Thank you for sharing.🐄

[@arjenhillenius1917]

That's a great asset; that self thinking broom holder! 😃 I wish I had one.

[@patrickosullivan4021]

Hopefully Ur dad is feeling better, can't beat a cork man Adrian, no there a great company, been the go with years, you've picked a top tank, that will serve you well Adrian

[@bobuncle8704]

Small tank and an extra pump sounds like a good idea. As you found with a genny earlier his year, a backup is a good idea.

[@s71rl2]

Best wishes and speedy recovery to your Dad, love the content

[@johnlydon533]

Great video Adrian, great idea to harvest water with all the rain we get and not to depend solely on mains. Enjoyed watching. 👍🏼👍🏼

[@redzo084]

Adrian I absolutely love your videos as a farmer myself

[@damien3278]

Adrian ive a ibc tank in my attic over the dairy, its half filled from the well and the rest from the plate cooler, it supplies the wash down pump for washing out the parlour and is also very useful for filling the tractor sprayer, it can pump 100 litres a minute roughly, ive also the water from the tank for the first rinsing of the milking machine as the water does be warm after going through the plate cooler.

[@Gearoid35]

Great job, carbery plastics do great products.

[@vespamorelli7090]

Looks a great set up. Good to see an Irish company. Best wishes to your father 🤞🏻

[@stephennesbitt8337]

That is one great job if ever I seen one, I was down at a we vintage road run yesterday very close to Cootehill.. boy that is hilly country 😀 good work and hope your father improves.

[@jimbuckley882]

Best wishes to your Dad..always seems a pure gent when he was on camera.

[@davidfennell5124]

Another great video Adrian. Hope your dad makes a speedy recovery. Like the sound of option 2 running the pipe above the parlour which seems to make a lot of sense but what would I know only living in a farming area a year 😂 you will find the best solution to meet your needs, you always do 👍

[@dbcooper7326]

I have three Carbery oil tanks. The oldest is still perfect after 30 years service. The two newer ones only 8 years old split into pieces, luckily at the top and were outside the warranty. So not convinced of recent quality. All tanks mounted perfectly on concrete slabs so well supported.

[@kieranosullivan02]

Are all 3 outside on slabs? can you see any difference physically in them? 8 years isn't long at all really

[@davidcummins1108]

Good man Cal Mc Carthy another Irish business supporting Irish agriculture! (and a handy man in his Citroen C3 Rally 2 car too out on the stages)

[@IFarmWeFarm]

I didn’t know that, must mention it to him. Very down to earth people

[@pjdoyle5105]

I would go full length of parlour over head with the existing pipes connected direct to it Great video

[@Andy-ix2ox]

One word of advice, don’t bother with the different drop points, just plum it up to a lever valve at the back of the parlour and get a length of yellow hose long enough to get you to where you want to go, been there done that and had loads of drops inside and outside of the parlour, lots of maintenance on it and the pipe was never where you needed it so after a while i got a longer hose now the drops are obsolete and still need to be maintained or removed when they fail.

[@nicholasbrown8461]

I look at it like this, if you can see a protentional problem that may or may not happy then remove the protentional problem then there is no problem. Love your channel and content

[@traceyhacking7109]

Sorry to hear about your Dad being in hospital. I am praying for a return to good health for him. I am always amazed at your skill set, I'm sure there's nothing you don't know how to do or fix!!!

[@78mikehayes]

Great video. No harm to harvest a free supply of water!!

[@FarmerP]

Should be a great addition to the parlour once your all plumbed in and full up Adrian. Give my regards to family, and best wishes for dad. 🙂👍

[@michaelcanning2059]

Sorry to hear your dad is in hospital hope he gets better soon. Great video

[@James_Smith715]

Thats a good size to get Adrian, the more you can store the better. Now all you need is solar panels, my brother has them on his dairy roof and reckons the savings are significant. Great to see progress

[@iainmccubbin1353]

And put an immersion on the panels to use spare electric to heat a water cylinder!

[@stevepalmer8285]

Hi Adrian. Best wishes to your dad.and thanks for the content. Take care.

[@b14clg]

I hope you’re father starts to feel better soon, my father is also in hospital in north west England, so know your feeling, glad you able to harness the well water as well as roof water great blog

[@jimpolk]

God bless you and you Dad. Hope he's home and feeling fine real soon. Nice tank Adrian. Looks like a good plan.

[@jcr_jcr]

Impressive tank. I am always amazed at how competent the delivery drivers are getting through the narrow lanes.

[@wtrclr83]

And may I add good-looking !!! 💚

[@AdrianWalsh-es1st]

@jcr_jcr Expeirence likewise there are many people not living in Dublin, who would be filled with dread driving through Dublin City Centre, but those who do it on a daily basis do so without thinking about it. I have said many times the driving test should be a multi part test, a section of motorway requiring a slip road to enter and exit, a part driving in the dark where dipped lights, and where main beam are required, andva section of rural back roads, I think it would improve safety.

[@Scotty7268]

I would never have thought one needs a water tank in Ireland. I am familiar with the green Jojo tanks used by most home owners in South Africa to deal with water shortages - either caused by poor weather, or poor (government influenced) water management (no electric power for pump stations!) Your new tank is a beauty!

[@bryanstanley2735]

A similar set up to you here Adrian, ten units, I have a quick attach at the head or the pit with hose attached then I a quick attach on the wall between the dairy and parlour with a hose hung on an old wheel rim and then a third quick attach at the very end of the parlour for when the need arises to wash further down the yard... Works well for me... Keep up the great work, always enjoy your videos.. ,👍

[@sandraanderson217]

Getting water is a major undertaking! A lot more steps necessary than I’ve ever thought of! I like your idea of a second tank in the attic… Sending hugs to your Dad. ❤

[@jasminesmith7669]

All the best to your dad and hope he is ho e soon vope the rest of the rest of the family are good and you have a cracking good farm

[@irishdancer2753]

Adrian and Nichole, good job done!! I hope your dad and mom are doing well 🙏🏻 Great water tank!

[@tomdaly7229]

best wishes to your dad farm looks fantastic

[@fiat--sg1zw]

Sorry to hear your dad in hospital hope he will be back out again soon. If the plate cooler is near the tank you could return the water back to it save on the well pump again

[@davidminish5421]

Wishing your father well. Definitely pressure those existing drop hoses. And I like your thinking of two quick connects in the parlour. Keep them low down so that when it comes time for draining on a freezing night, the lines empty completely. I'd even put a tap on the pipe as it comes out the pump for that purpose.

[@garymadden2656]

Great video Adrian a great water tank best wishes to your father 👌

[@johnobrien295]

Best wishes to your Dad. You’re doing great work. I put retractable reel which will take 25m of inch yellow hose up high at rear of pit. It would allow you wash units , parlour and then pull outside door to wash collecting yard and you are never tripping over hose. Quick job to wash out after row if you have few cows like your dog Tyson 🤫👍

[@GaryLaurin]

Adrian water system looks good. Hope your father is feeling better. All the best to you all. 👍🏻🇨🇦☘️

[@joycevally7878]

Sending the best thoughts to your Dad and family.

[@ronaldlucas5360]

Pray that your dad will get better.

[@MCMilkingIt]

I'd advise putting in a float switch in the big tank to shut off the pump if the water tank runs low so it doesn't run dry and damage the pump. Some day in summer the well will trip and there will be no water going into the tank. Definitely run the hose to the back anyway so you can go out to the yard. Make the hoses a little longer than you need so when the bust in the future and you have to cut them they won't be too short.

[@IFarmWeFarm]

We put a run dry sensor on the pump, but yes your idea is a good one and these sensors don’t always work 👍

[@MCMilkingIt]

@@IFarmWeFarm you'll know there's no water going to the tank before you run out with a float too

[@margaretboyle4701]

Hope your Dad is ok. Thinking of him and in my Prayers

[@sandymcghee3328]

Sorry to hear about your dad hope he gets better soon Nicole is a great help for you Adrian shout out to the water tank company 👍👍👍👍

[@deniscousley6905]

Don't know your type of pump but run dry alarm might save a future problem. As the saying goes if it can go wrong it will go wrong! And a tip for your thread tape as you do a lot of plumbing, turn the roll 180 degrees on your index finger and try it.

[@paddy294]

Cracking video as always. Always worth waiting for

[@mikecramman498]

Firstly we all hope your father a speedy recovery for whatever reason he is in hospital, with putting the pipe along the floor my only concern would be the placement for trapping dirt and ease of cleaning. Your idea for staggered quick release valves at 3/4 positions sounds ideal

[@lindaarmstrongjackman9788]

Always an interesting and informative video from you Adrian. Hope the plumbing goes well for you. 😊

[@CyrilMorrin-h5f]

Great video and great to see an Irish Company producing such a good product. No doubt ramp or Irish equivalent would like to sponsor a hoozeetc video Volume washers are great, very common on dairy farms in the UK. Regardless of what you do, you can always change it as none of the items are set under concrete. Some ideas. Have two wash hooze in the parlour, one at the top. Put one on one side of the pit and the other on the other side of the pit, so that they are not in the way of your feet when milking. Your pit is very narrow, with lots of gubbins hanging in the middle so easy for the hooze to get in the way and become very annoying. Instal hooks at the halfway point of the hooze as you will have to double up the hooze so that the hooze end is beside the hooze tap. You need to have the hooze noodle in your hand when yiu turn off the tap or else the hooze will fly around like a lunatic. Instal two hoozes in your dairy, so you can reach all areas in the dairy without having to drag a long hooze. Create a wash down area in the yard for washing your cattle trailer etc. after use with a volume hoose . Attack your system to your plate cooler. Our cows lov slightly warmer water from the plate cooler. You might not be allowed feed harvested water to your cows. That said you could instal a purification system with a chlorine applicator.

[@IFarmWeFarm]

Would definitely like to hook a plate cooler return to it in the future and a treatment facility to be able to use it as drinking water for the cattle. We can’t use chlorine here as most of our milk goes to a baby power factory which would be very strict on that. Even our main public water schemes chlorine PPB ( PARTS PER BILLION ) count is to high which mean we have to dump the first bucket of milk at each milking as the water residue in the pipes causes issues. I like your ideas 💡 Thanks for taking the time to share 👍

[@Canningfarms]

Great job adrian.. send all the best to your dad hope alls OK

[@anthonymcnamara4002]

I live on an island off the coast of New Zealand with no mains water so we have a very similar set up - a 20,000 litre tank with the addition of a UV filter and it supplies all of our household water.

[@kieranbrowne8555]

You might have it done already but I would connect the small hoses to the wash down pump and I would add 3 large wash down points inside the parlour the top and outside the back and have them on a reel so it is neat and tidy

[@darrenjackson6408]

Great Video Adrian as usual. It could be beneficial when you are doing the piping to put in a supply pipe that you can connect to the power hose for when that needs. It would also allow for an alternative pump if the main pump failed or if the power went out

[@johnryan4845]

I put in 10000 litre water tank few years ago to feed drinkers in the shed and higher pressure wash down line through the shed. All off one pump with quick release connections and 2 hoses. Very handy for trailer wash down and rinsing the shed as cattle leave pens in spring. Not dairy farming.

[@tommygrehan864]

Congratulations on your wedding

[@IorraisDaraFarm]

Tidy job adrian. I wonder how much water will you harvest from the roof. Also it might be a good idea to put a mesh on the end of the gutter to stop the bigger leaves etc getting in. Will save work for your filter (hopefully).

[@daipigeon7561]

Re to a speedy recovery for your father Great big tank will be of great use.. Maybe put a 40 gallon header tank on top of thst wall with a small pump in it for better pressure Kerp the great work up Dai from gwent south wales. ❤

[@georgemorrison6689]

You some man Farming is just not hard enough you have got to find more work for yourself 😂😂😂, like the idea of having the extra outlet at the end to wash down the yard because wash the yard always takes a fearsome amount of water, looking forward to seeing it all finished, best wishes to your Dad and good luck to you all

[@goptools]

Hope your dad makes a speedy recovery. Nice, neat job on the plumbing around the water tank and the rain gutters. It looked like you were using some dish detergent lube on the pipes. That would lead me to thing they were not glued together. I guess they are much different that the PVC plumbing that I'm used to in the States. Not really qualified to give advice on the pump or water in the milking parlor but fixing that low pressure issue would seem to be a priority.

[@IFarmWeFarm]

No glue needed with these ones, there’s a replaceable rubber seal inside of each fitting that seals all. I do watch a lot of channels in the states and do notice how different there plumbing and electrical fittings are. As long as they do there job thats all the matters

[@goptools]

@@IFarmWeFarm Thank you for the clarification!

[@andrewjones-productions]

Please convey my best wishes and a speedy recovery to your father. As always, a nice, tidy job done! I'm no expert, so take that into account when reading my opinion, but I am siding on your second idea for the plumbing and positioning of valves/outlets in your dairy. It seemed to make more practical sense to my eyes and ears. Those with actual experience of operating a dairy on a daily basis may offer you better advice and suggestions.

[@gonk227]

There a great company to deal with I’ve a diesel tank from them👍

[@ianhaggart1438]

Great vid.. Iv always wanted a tank... 😮😅.. Remember though you can always plum in a high pressure system for washing down... electric pressure washer and some outlets inside and out... Remember it's like electrical sockets in your house.. always fit more than you think you need 😜.. stay safe 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@farmerslife2612]

Hi lad that was a great job lad and the best of luck with it great job lad 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@TheFarmerTheCheesemaker]

Adrian, I’d think a volume wash direct from the new tank would be the answer. Put a tap on each end of the parlour with a hose long enough to reach from one tap down the length. Then you’d have a hose to wash the yard with by hooking to the far end tap. If you wanted pressure you could install a small tank and pump to tie in with your existing hoses. That’s how I’m envisioning our new parlour.

[@kevinqueally1079]

Great video as always Adrian, rainwater should have a real positive impact on ur water supply

[@RichardJohnston-l3q]

Hi adrian, I think the refridgerarion unit is mounted to close to the exhaust from the meal bin even though your meal deliverys maybe infrequent the dust from the exhaust may interfere with the radiator in your refridgeration unit over a period of time

[@ultanb]

Large capacity is essential, especially with the amount of rain we've had. My employer installed one a few years ago but had to disconnect it because the building it was in, wasn't using enough water to make space in the tank.......Best wishes to your dad for a full recovery

[@rolfwhite2563]

Put a tee into the current line in the parlour, with two valves on each in comer before the tee, so you can shut off mains and run tank water and then vice versa using the current hose setup. Then Add a dropper at the far end with a connection for another hose. Keep that at the big bore to give volume wash for the yard and washing down either side

[@Tyler_Cresswell]

Thanks, now I understand a bit more about this topic 🐹

[@jamesjohnston1007]

That's a big 1 Adrian how your dad gets well soon
