Brilliant bit of kit that jonny. Its amazing what technology can do now. Cracking video great explanation on how it works

[@Jonny1388]

Thanks my mate! Been hoping I'd get the chance to film it, I haven't done that job for years now, but was desperate to film it because it's such an unusual machine. I remember the first time I saw it, I was gob smacked....then even more gob smacked when my gaffer told me I'd be running it....say to safe I was sh&£ing my pants that day lol How's life your end of the country buddy? Very wet I can imagine?

[@GEOFFKV6080]

@@Jonny1388 I think I would be bricking it knowing how easily you could kill the crop. I bet you cant take your eyes of them screens for a minute. Things are good here. Got on well getting first cut done, bailing, fertiliser and slurry aĺl done. Even got chance to drive a forager which was great.Had 3 full days of rain now cows are back in it's that wet on the land. Hows things with you, has this weather buggered your job up

[@MrGrunter0]

Great video. Found it really interesting. You structure and film your videos really well. Cheers bud! 👍

[@mdgilb999]

One of the best videos on this (or any) machine I've seen. You're good at videos Jonny. Lots of details are great. Video length doesn't matter. I watch KZbin instead of T.V. because T.V. makes you dumb. I am actually a little smarter after this. Or at least more knowledgeable. By the way, do any other Americans get the feeling your watching Captain Jack Sparrow in a tractor? With a KZbin channel?

[@joachimgahm3182]

Take that incredibly stupid, what ever you have over your head off and don’t make the infuriating laughs in between the comments. Otherwise perfect👍🙋‍♂️

[@colincampbell3679]

Cool Tech.. I love modern farming and robot stuff. The more they use them the less chemicals need to be used? Better for us all. I waiting to see someone do a 100% electric tractor and then combines etc.? I know of a 100% electric test tractor that John Deer in France are testing now! But no one else is doing any I know off? The John Deer one is a normal medium sized tractor that they taken out the Horrible polluting Diesel engine and replaced it with a Big Lithium battery and electric motors and kept the air cooled radiator system as that cools the battery. I hoping more will be done be all to remove all Diesel machines as they are very bad for us health wise and the planet. Soon maybe we see fully robotic farming machines based on Eco-made electric?

[@md.fuelkiller1990]

If the camera setting is so damn important, why they dont do a better positioning device? If there is any dirt inside the mechanism, it could be fatal. Bad constructioning, just my opinion...

[@techrja]

[@andrewjohn7952]

Excellent video. Really enjoyed that. Amazing what technology is capable of. Could you do a machinery shed tour video?

[@Jonny1388]

Hiya andrew! We haven't got a shed big enough to fit all of our machines in so they are spread across all 4 of our farms in different sheds. Unfortunately I'm not allowed to do a shed tour for security reasons. I'd love to do it, but there are too many dishonest people around nowadays.

[@andrewjohn7952]

Yeah I thought that as soon as I posted it. Totally understandable.

[@samherbert1724]

Any chance of farm walk?. Top vid as always....

[@Jonny1388]

Hiya Sam! Our farm is 13miles long, end to end....it would be one hell of a walk lol

[@mauricecahill3385]

Awesome stuff kiddo!!!!!!!!

[@cibie01]

I normally make a joke in my comment but after watching this ingenious bit of engineering i am blown away by this. the magic of learning about a different style of farming brings machines like this to light that we would not usually see, very well explained and demonstrated as usual very interesting this organic way of doing things. i hope you dont have to many acres under water after the past couple of days pal.

[@ianc631c]

great video nice bit of kit

[@goobs52]

a mouthful of moustachios!

[@JJ_MacLeod]

Absolutely fascinating Jonny! Really cool bit of kit and admire the way you (organic farmers/ Pollybell) go about tending the crops! I think you’re in a great position for future UK agriculture with the knowledge and experience you will build on working on an organic farm!

[@JonDingle]

Wow! I am really impressed! I often wondered how you organic guys controlled in row weeds. Where I live only grass is grown because its mainly a livestock area. Very interesting stuff young man!

[@donderbassie]

How did you get the job as a tractor driver? I think I would really love it but I didnt grow up on a farm so that makes it hard

[@Jonny1388]

I didn't grow up on a farm either. I just always had a passion for it, i offered to help farmers out when I was a boy and learnt from their experience. And eventually after a lot of hard work I got a job full time in farming. If you want to do something bad enough, there's no reason why you can make it a reality no matter what your age or experience 😃

[@donderbassie]

@@Jonny1388 Sounds about right! It's just weird I guess to randomly go to a farmer and ask if they need help or something! I live close to the city so there's not a lot of farms nearby (I do have a car though)

[@hsagri69]

Love your usual brand of informative entertainment. Would not like to be the man to try n fix it if it had a headache. There looks some complex stuff under them panels. Hows weather treating u up there. Are u retreating to the sheds or managing to keep going

[@ArchersView]

Great video & great explanation, a fascinating bit of kit!

[@Maxxum-farming]

Very interesting machine. But like all tech, Does it ever go crazy and start weeding the broccoli plants? Lol.

[@MrE30]

Jonny was wondering how many times through the growing period of the broccoli do you do this. And if there’s more than the once is there a risk of damaging the root tips on the broccoli.

[@xSCHEF]

You won't damage the root at the right depth and speed. The first 2 or 3 cm into the ground the stern goes straight down.

[@Jonny1388]

Hello my mate! How are we doing? 😃 We would like to get through the entire crop twice, some fields will get more treatment than others due to varying weed pressures. But it varies massively, sometimes I will even go through the same field twice in one day, just in the opposite direction, if there is a significant volume of weeds. Broccoli is quite a shallow rooted crop and will die if the roots are disturbed, it doesn't take much punishment like a cereal crop will. So yes we've got to be very careful we don't go too deep or too close to the plants, though we inevitably do take some of the plants out with the weeders. But the farm factor in a percentage of predicted looses and account for that when planting. Hope that helps answer your question mate?? 😃

[@MrE30]

Jonny 1388 doing well Jonny and hope your doing well yourself, thank you for explaining my question

[@MrE30]

[@Hesston4860s]

Eh chap !. Awesome video fella been waiting for this, I’ve seen these at shows but never seen one being used. I can imagine when it does go (which I’m sure it does now n then) it goes wrong in spectacular style with a good line of plants gone 😆 . Things have come a long way since I used to tractor hoe beet with our leyland 245 and hoe, manual driving all day to an inch or so !.

[@Jonny1388]

You know what your talking about my mate! When it goes wrong.....it goes BLOODY wrong!! Lol yeah things have come a long way in a short space of time haven't they! Thats the proper way to do it though, Leyland and a beet hoe!! No GPS, just a steady hand....a keen eye and driving it through your arse cheeks! I feel lucky I was able to do things like that, all be it with a newer tractor but no GPS in sight and just learning from the older generation. A lot of young lads nowadays don't even get the chance to learn it the proper way!

[@jerrynye5441]

Jonny never seen your tractor so cluttered and messy before!

[@Jonny1388]

That's because it's not my tractor Jerry lol

[@jerrynye5441]

That makes sense! Lol

[@mickdollard6306]

Really educational that, excellent. BTW, if you forget to take out the transport pins on any of the machines, will an alarm go off, break, damage or just not fold out?

[@Jonny1388]

Thanks Mick!! Unfortunately there isnt, there are a small number of machines around that will have some kind of sensor which won't allow you to do certain operations while it is in transport mode. But 98% of implements rely on you remembering to take them out, if you tried to unfold with the pins in you would more often than not, damage the machine.

[@mattpage6603]

Technology is nice but so would be jobs for people to do the hoeing. Like they used to for piece work per row. Rural unemployment is a serious problem.

[@Jonny1388]

Unfortunately noboby wants to do that kind of work anymore, we do still use people to hand weed crops as and when needed and trying to find staff is a major problem in vegetable farming. With major supermarkets driving down the price of food, lack of staff, and wages rising, technology has got to take up the slack. Unfortunately it's the world we live in now.

[@umwhatthistime]

@@Jonny1388 I suppose you are right. It wasn't the most interesting work to do after all. But it's a pity that people have less and less connection to the land.

@@umwhatthistime I completely agree. The people of my grandfathers generation all knew exactly where their food came from. And a good number of them worked the land as children. That connection has completely disappeared now, it's such a shame.
