SHOW TIME!!... OPENING UP MY VERY FIRST MAIZE CLAMP OF MY OWN!!!

[@MrWrob32]

That comment at the end, is a big part of why I watch the channel. The father son relationship, dad's wise head and Tom's enthusiasm, what a great role model tom has

[@andrewdavisca]

100% Both of them in a health respectful Father / Son relationship. Both sharing knowledge!

[@auldare7053]

I love how Andrew is always teaching, Tom and us. For a city boy who is interested in how we are fed, I start to appreciate the lifetime of experience required to make this ecosystem work.

[@ippaku]

Ginger guy we hope you heal fast and enjoy some recovery and that Tom is not driving you up the walls. Congratulations on the Maze to the whole team and of course you mention the contractors that help you get it off and on. Happy cows to everybody. Be well be you.

[@jphillips3570]

I’m sooo sorry my fat thumb hit the thumbs down. And I love that you share your family and farm life with us. ❤❤❤❤❤

[@Cambridgeshire-m1x]

Absolute winner of a video one of your best . also great to see your dad he's very knowledgeable and I'm always interested in what he has to say thanks Tom and Tom's Dad 👍

[@roystocker1919]

Tom love you all. Get a container for the seeds and move that buddy. 😊

[@Mother..nature..77]

A massive HELLO to the ginger guy 😊

[@kevinwittstruck8764]

Its good to see your dad again

[@cindyconnour446]

Finally, you have a bright spot on your day! Your dad will be happy.

[@garyonnen7634]

Your energy in this video is just mad, a lot of fun.

[@psychologicalprojectionist]

5:11 Fascinating. I am currently listening to "On the Origin of Speces" by C. Darwin and he talks about mixes of grass varieties being more productive than single varieties and he suggests it might be a driver of diversity in nature. They knew this in 1859!

[@daipigeon7561]

A big metal container for the seeds and other thinhs to be kept safe and dry Great video yet again thanks

[@johndaniell887]

hope your dad Andrew recovers he's a lovely man and full of knowledge and kind and funny your all a nice big family john

[@lindaarmstrongjackman9788]

Great job on the maize clamp. Hope the cows do really well on it. Get better quickly Andrew. 😊

[@berrypainter]

You look so much younger without the stash. I shaved mine off at 42 years old and immediately looked 10 years younger.

[@Harry-zz8qn]

WD40 on clippers… Noooo 😝 Maize is spot on, should be pleased with the outcome 👌🏻

[@mattgetty]

How can you not like The Ginger Warrior? Hope you ankle heals quickly!

[@JoeHamer-ec6xf]

Tom you’ve got your mojo back really nice to see

[@rosaavila1067]

Hi Tom. Good evening. Have a blessed evening and great weekend. Great video. Always something to do on the farm. Just clean up the edges where the hay is and ur good. A farmers work is never done.

[@everestyeti]

Clamp looks brilliant, hope dad's foot gets better soon.👍

[@DandlPacking]

He loves his father you can tell just by his voice and tom is very clever he is wiliñg to learn from some one with experience and his dad is slso willing to listen to his son a great combination

[@stevewareing8525]

Great video Tom, the maize looks great. If the Ginger Hero likes it then it must be good, fingers crossed the milk figures go up. 👍.

[@DeryckEddy]

I think you are right about the farm needs a good tidy up.

[@michaelvogel2522]

WoW, looking at it I can SMELL it clear over here in central United States (Ohio), very good looking silage.

[@TheFloatingHouse]

Maybe you should organise a 'Tidy up day' amongst your viewers Tom. I'm sure there would be a lot of people willing to volunteer to help a day out. Just something that popped up in my head 😝

[@lorengolliher2712]

Enjoy your videos you need to be super careful with that corn seed it really shouldn't be around the feed you feed your cattle does it only takes one mistake to hurt them because most of that seed is treated with chemicals and I thought you had a storage container anyways good-looking silage pits good luck

[@jamielee9350]

With maize clamps "COLD AND HARD FEED GOOD IN THE YARD" Great job guys n girls...

[@scar5head]

Considering the dicey weather and ground conditions when cut, that maize silage looks exceptional. Interested to see the costings and impact on production. Well done so far.

[@astonmcleod5344]

Saturday morning coffee time, Olly blogs, Tom Pemberton and Tom Lamb.

[@AlleyCat-1]

Loved the video, good energy & funny, even if you weren't trying. Hope your dad's ankle has improved. Love the maize. Great job.

[@saabsonsan]

SAE30 oil for the clippers. The wd40 will wear them out faster

[@rotorhead5006]

WD40 is solvent-based so any lubrication effect will be short-lived. Better using chain oil or a silicon / PTFE spray. That said, I believe WD have brought out a proper lubricating spray now, rather than penetrating fluid... at least, The Millenial Farmer had some on one of his videos! 😃

[@dnawormcastings]

Your father has lots of good knowledge 🇳🇿❤️

[@adrianpritchard5143]

I like the bit about carrying a bucket, I remember that no one will ask you to do some other stuff if you already look like you are doing something 😂😂

[@Michael-8903]

Tom - You can finish it if you want then Dad - no I finished I have no to say WHAT really are you sure? 😊😊

[@Siccardroneservices]

More of toms dad please, love his chat

[@timk571]

Ive learned WD40 isn't a good lubricant for the raizors.( I have done cows, sheep amd horses) better use a good oil for it, better for the raizors, temperatures and animal.

[@OOpSjm]

Clipper/blade oil or generic 3 in one oil

[@HGD70]

Yep, it’s a water displacer, hence the WD. It’s not a lubricant.

[@jamestaylor3145]

A very happy Tom today. Love it. 😃

@3:00 Those pallets have a secure area available. The grass seed pallets aren't in active use, just set them down on top of the big bails that are right there!, instead of on the ground where they are vulnerable. The cows won't get into them 6 feet in the air.

[@bobuncle8704]

I agree. First time doing your own maize, turned out great. 7:00 bin there done that 😂

[@BRM101]

Great upload always find the clamps interesting bet it smells good, love sisters in wellies and always watch their content they are such good fun, its great that you speak, benefits of the internet

[@davidhall5130]

With grass seed bags we use a shipping container to store as it’s dry and vermin proof ish

[@brendanoneill1466]

That is one pretty clamp of maize. Congrats. Hope that you see a big boost in the milk output.

[@gromett]

Might be worth getting on an old shipping container, cutting one side out and adding doors then putting pallet racks in? Relatively easy storage for grain/seed that would be rodent and cow proof?

[@hiscifi2986]

I see you have a full width access to your clamp. We just make a ten foot wide vehicle ramp, and then pile the silage vertical on the side. That way we get much more into the clamp, and save a lot of waste. it is moderately safe up to 5 ft high, and I have driven over the edge once or twice..! One small clamp that I worked on, had half a wall at the front, and it held lots of silage.

[@lesterhertel2945]

Another very interesting video Thank you 😊😊😊😊😊

[@peterjames2004]

have you winterised the jetter best way is to draw up some anti freeze and run it through the machine works on pressure washers to

[@mrb5590]

You should try gt85 as a spray lubricant. It leaves a coat of ptfe behind .It's a dry lubricant, so one the spray has dried its clean to touch.

[@graememckay9972]

For a bloke that has invested so much in labour and time saving around the farm you still like a "tidy up". Do you not have a little space for some pallet racking to store stuff? You could stick some racking between that feed bin and maize clamp. 3 shelves high probably 2 pallets wide both sides would give 12 slots for pallets of seeds or green gravel bags.

[@donaldtriumph1682]

[@winmarfbd909]

An a-maize-ingly pleasing video! Quite pleasant, except for the broken good shovel, and some shirker wearing a boot for his ankle because he wants a day off from moving things around. Young whipper snapper! Dock him a days wage! 🤣 See you Sunday ❤❤

Great video. Will see how things turn out

[@kevinwittstruck8764]

Hi good morning Tom from Indiana

[@razer1x2]

Tom - get some of them really thick plastic road plates / ground mats for the edges of the clamp... Pop them down first, then bales on top. Might help squeeze the edges in better... Either that or chuck them gravel bags down there if you cant get bales tight to the sides. Might just gain that extra little bit of less waste.

[@PBmurray71]

I read on another channel somebody suggesting scaffold poles down the side.

[@josephriddle8634]

[@NickKendal]

I remember when you put the bin up, thinking that it might be in the way in the future… The bin needs to move!

[@peterchandler8534]

There is NO excuse for not having an animal proof store! The value of the spoiled seed is a quarter the cost of a nice secure shipping container!

[@johnwarwick4105]

How would you use a shipping container, as you have to climb over everything to get to the stuff further back. You need to be able to store pallet loads.

[@peterchandler8534]

@johnwarwick4105 So fitting 2 or 3 full-size doors in the side of a 20-footer is not an option to allow for telehandler access! Or a standard 10 footer will take 8 pallets !

[@johnwarwick4105]

@ experience in farming and industry tells me how long the side doors will stay rodent proof or functional when pulling pallets in and out. But yes the theory sounds good. I actually saw a perfect shipping container a few weeks back it had a whole side that opened up, 4 doors hinged on each other very clever design would be perfect for something like this but good luck in finding another one like it. As for a ten footer good luck getting pallets in 2 wide then getting too them safely when needed.

[@peterchandler8534]

@johnwarwick4105 I'm 70, have been in agriculture/forestry all my life, and have seen an awful lot of changes, not all for the better. If your forklift operator drives by braille, that's your problem!

[@johnwarwick4105]

@ if you think farmers are rough try industry they are savage with forklifts.

[@MattRileyCreative]

You want to use thicker clipper oil to prolong the life of your clippers, cool them down, help the blades 👌🏼

[@pearsieboy]

Could use the old sheets as side sheets the next year to get a better seal

[@cammyrubin2512]

Walrus man, kukukachu - you do look a bit more like Ginger Warrior with it 😊

[@mikeman584]

That maize silage was brought if my memory serves me right under pretty harsh conditions, pusher tractors and half filled trailers. Some good solid contractors, good to see it coming out well. I take it it will be put into a mixed ration for mainly just the milking dairy herd and does it generally have a good effect on milk yields?

Morning Tom

[@QALibrary]

hi poppy back from youtube

[@BrianMartin-b6q]

Tom , moving things around is definitely not cost effective both with time and damages . just a suggestion but really valuable items like seeds , tools etc would it not be worth buying or hiring an old shipping container . yes it would take slightly more time to load when delivered but defiantly would be more cost effective and you have the room . Sometimes it pays to take a step back and calculate just exactly how much money wastage is costing and take steps to fix it, especially now there are more working on the farm. Probably I should shut up but I'm old school like your dad and hate wastage. Maize looks brilliant ! Great video as always 👍
