Nothing better on a Sunday morning sitting here with a cup of coffee watching someone working 😂. Thanks Tom

[@KevinCowe-uk5us]

Hi Tom loved seeing the old massie working very informative video..😄😎

[@Tomlamb980]

Thanks 👍

[@Freeprawn]

Love seeing the red kites Tom. Good to see them in big numbers too. Shows your doing a good job of farmerating.

[@paulhammond7489]

Nice one Tom. Enjoyed seeing you leaving a section uncut for the wildlife...

[@PaulRhB]

Great job showing how everyone gets involved and just enjoying the views and birds as you go.

[@franksmodels29]

Morning coffee with more Tom vids fantastic 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@TheMarglue]

I love old tractors better than new tractors

[@dfross87]

Old tractors look better, they do what you tell them to do when you tell them to do it, and you can fix them yourself at home. What's not to love?

[@colinbrown3364]

Absolutely love it Tom. Brings back memories of helping out on a farm during summer holidays in 1974. Ploughed a field with an old MF, milked cows, fed the pigs and piglets and loaded all the bales. Back breaking at times but as a Londoner I loved it. Keep em coming. 👌

[@vespamorelli7090]

Loving this series of videos. As a townie I’ve always been curious about how the farmers do things. As for the technology in that baler … where would you even begin to design a product like that ?? Unreal !! Keep it up TL !! 👏🏻👏🏻

[@Tomlamb980]

Cool, thanks!

[@rangeroverl322]

Cracking video Tom and thanks for explaining how the kit works. The Kites are magnificent

[@Tomlamb980]

Thanks 👍

[@williambowman7589]

Brilliant wee video Tom😊

[@paulprescott7913]

Nice to see Mrs L .

[@Qspecialman]

The NFU should be paying for your video PR work Tom. You are doing more for farm / townie relations than all the puff they turn out. Good job mate.

[@Tomlamb980]

Thanks for the support

[@schmails]

Looks great, Tom.

[@MattTester]

The angry beeping from the baler control while you're watching the wrapper or kites was great, it clearly wanted to get on.

[@leongrigson7390]

That old tractor needs some love. Wash and wax, de-dirt the cab and a wash. Spit and polish. For the flaghip of the old timers fleet.

[@Tomlamb980]

It needs doing

[@larry365]

All that dirt is the only thing holding it together!

[@paullord911]

I really hope you do as well, Colin. You are very lucky you caught a wife as good as her. Great video.

[@Tomlamb980]

Thanks 👍

[@leehiggins1713]

Great video, such a lovely man.

[@Tomlamb980]

Couldn't agree more!

[@peterclarke3300]

Great video Tom people don’t realise how much farmers do and the length off time they spend doing their job and it was nice seeing the red kites in action 👍👍

[@Tomlamb980]

Thanks 👍

[@charliebass9238]

Loving the double shot of TL vids this weekend. Love all the details and seeing what you get up to. Brillabt vid mate, keep them coming 👍

[@jakobrebeki]

I like the idea of a "LAMB STANDARD" tractor attachment range. When I was working on farms out in Kent a long, long time ago I can always recall lots of breakdowns that always were caused by the silliest of things like a weld that let go or a bolt that snapped or a belt/chain that jumped off. Long hot days spent underneath something with a spanner in hand. Just had to get it up and running as quick as possible. Nicely covered, thanks for posting Tom....

[@Tomlamb980]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@benwinstanley101]

Awesome , your spoiling us Tom

[@LeoAzzakaGoile]

Loving the videos thank you. Nice to see how it all comes together.

[@ianmckay1780]

Nice summary of the process Tom. Even for me an ex ag engineer, it lets us see different m/c's and how they do the same things. Thanks.

[@Tomlamb980]

Glad you enjoyed it

one tom went to mow, went to mow a meadow!!! that tractor is bigger than my lawn , looking good tom

[@Tomlamb980]

Thanks 👍

2:02 Been trying to explain this to my wife for years... Thanks for the visual instructional video, Will help her a lot!! Can I come have a weeks work experience? No wages expected, I'll bring the chine sandwiches I initially requested... Shell fisherman by trade born and bread Lincolnshire man.

[@paulconchie3219]

Great videos Tom. Keep them coming.

[@tonydean8150]

How come whenever I try to connect to the PTO, the phrase “just slide the shaft on”is never on my lips. Much swearing and copious grease usually required 😂

[@CT-oe1ug]

This. I always find the implement bites my ankle along the way too 😂

[@Tomlamb980]

Keep the shaft well oiled

[@rhydtuned]

​@@Tomlamb980 And keep two hands on your shaft when sliding it in 👍

[@Qspecialman]

I don’t think my 1949 grey Fergie would even move some of your equipment let alone drive via the pto. She can just about driver a topper. Nice kit Tom.

[@dfross87]

I reckon your grey Fergie will still be working long after these electronic whizz-bangers have given up the ghost.

[@edwardhammock24]

Fascinating as always Tom.

[@DeadManWalking2]

👍 thanks

[@alexandermcintyre4871]

we always turn the net by hand down to just above where its going to caught for the first bale of the day and wrapping round that roller never happens really enjoy all of your videos pit ones especially

[@rhydtuned]

Massey Ferguson 'Pro Lamb' Edition sounds good 👍

[@jg374]

Quite fun to compare similarities with our small setup in Aus (although much bigger and less thrashed equipment here of course). Also interesting to see how tractor design has evolved from our 6255 (around 2003 vintage but newish to us, taking over from a Fordson Dexta as the main tractor on the farm). It seems to fit in fairly neatly between those shown here, with a paddle shift for some gears and direction like the big tractor, but still has a gear stick for range selection like the older ones.

[@Tomlamb980]

Interesting!

[@astonmcleod5344]

In Devon spent 1000's of hours on a 590, and 575 in the 80's , back then they were cutting edge. JD came along with there new curved cab, in our region JD cleaned up to the extent the MF dealer went bankrupt. Im still a MF fan, recently bought a little 240 for my field over here in South Australia.

[@FuManchu5ltr]

Mrs Lamb. She’s a farmer.

18:04 great content again decided to watch your first before watching Olly blog bread making videos

[@Tomlamb980]

Make sure you leave him a comment telling him that 😂

[@markedwards158]

Greasing, pulling inserting, there really is more to shafts than I even knew. 😀

[@Lorddanielrushton371]

Hey Tom, your impression on the "making of a new step" was hilarious, and you are probably right. Im still laughing. Those companies are in cahoots with orthopedic doctors. Lol. A long wiyh they companies that make the tow bars. 😂

[@Tomlamb980]

I wouldn’t even pay the designers

[@astonmcleod5344]

bit of detail, the draw bar you started with was wider than the one you used on the wrapper

[@Tomlamb980]

It was the wrong one 😅

[@dakaargamer]

i still want a tractor

[@gatizsolti]

"This is why I married you." Hm. How was the sofa that night, Tom? :D

[@Wolfyjinny]

Cheers Tom, thats pretty cool seeing how the tedder/windrow/auto rakes, the bailers and wrappers work, but what's with the million and one different drawbars? Surely that's a right pain in the sitting equipment having to keep changing them, Can't the tools be fitted with a standard so you don't have to keep messing about with them?

[@Tomlamb980]

Different crops have different conditions

[@winstonfoster6009]

I have a 42552wd hivis,brilliantfor fieldwork too.have you ever tried a balechaser keltec or wilson?

[@CowfarmerDan]

That drawbar went on a rapid weightloss diet 😆

[@Tomlamb980]

Got the wrong one

[@astonmcleod5344]

Changing the draw bar, I heard a few blokes cut their finger of, like a guillotine, lining up the holes they inserted there finger to align.

I bet you were glad you were not cutting that bale Wrap off that roller one handed.

[@julianhawker7672]

55 yrs ago would be 165 surely? As 100 series was before. 565 late 1970's ? Nice to still have the old kit about. 👍

[@Tomlamb980]

My mistake

[@richard3008]

great vid love your attitude and a great break down of what each machine does one thing i did wanna ask when you was sitting filming the first wrapped bail it was white wrap and latter on it was black wrap does it matter ?

[@Tomlamb980]

No not really just want we had left over

[@peteingham]

Tha daft but great vid

[@bmurch1700]

love the vid tom does Dave ever ride the tractor

[@mjg6966]

What stops the grass composting in the bales.👍👍

[@Tomlamb980]

No oxygen

[@marksinclair8942]

Is there a reason for different colour wraps for the bails? White or black?

[@ronarant2897]

No the factory discussion starts like this: CEO is talking…”Team we need to increase our productivity by 50% while cutting cost by 60%” a new MBA graduate has a idea that we can make the lower steps with 60% less metal which will save us money by using less steel and less hardware (2 less bolts) as well as save time by only installing 2 bolts instead of 4. The safety officer said out test shows the steps will break in 12 to 13 months. MBA talking again…..That is after the warranty so we also increase our replacement parts sales. Also we have saved on FTE because we had to let the Safety Officer go he was not a team player! Also we can say our equipment is “Green” because the broken steps can be recycled! MBA… see we hit the target and are ROI +

[@hoggyhogwood]

Tom, how does the net wrap tie itself off once it’s wound the bale

[@Tomlamb980]

It doesn’t it sort of just sticks to itself

[@robertallen3441]

Not sure about 55 years between the tractors, 565 was only made from 1976, so can only be 48 years old. Again, it looks a good'un, probably worth more now than it cost new. Not teaching you to suck eggs, but please turn the engine off before going anywhere near the PTO. Not a good example for the young bucks who watch the channel.

[@Tomlamb980]

Yes your right 40 odd years then

[@HawkMillFarm]

£200k + worth of machinery and people think hay is just free grass!

@@Tomlamb980 was being conservative 😁

[@TheVillageIdiotUk]

I’m a new sub., who’s very much enjoying watching the machinery put to good work, and laughed at the philosophy of forcing the machine to do the work, (maximum power to the PTO… a little Clarksonesque 😊). The conservation area looks good and the red kites are clearly loving it. Where are you based ? Best regards from rural west Dorset.
