Workshop updates, new machinery arrivals, Q&A on the farm

Another day on the farm with a q and a and a few workshop updates

[@Gr33n13s]

Lovely down to earth attitude. Today's generation is missing some of that. Enjoying your videos!

[@Sheebs_N_Sheebs]

the only complaint i would have if i had to chose one, that would be that your vids are not long enough......but i dont think you could actually do one long enough as we would never get bored.....another top bit of content......love it mr lamb

[@AhTechus]

Great job highlighting the benefits of agriculture technology. This is crucial for modern farming.

[@mikebashford8198]

Fantastic video. Years ago someone asked the boss of the company I worked for 'how many people work here?' he replied 'about half of them'.

[@K0ALA.]

The story about how you met Colin - would not have guessed this in 100 years 🤣

[@emanuelzammit8733]

Great video Tom don't mind the longer form videos mate keep them coming, I say. Love your content look forward to seeing what you have been up to on the farm. Great work, mate thanks for your efforts 👌

[@Tomlamb980]

Thanks 👍

Could watch a 2 hour version of this. Love It

[@rdelmb8452]

You should have a red and green light above the pit for backing machinery in. Watch the light, rather than trying to hear someone shout ‘whoa!’

[@scottnichloson6839]

Only recently discovered your channel, honestly don’t know how I didn’t find you sooner. Absolutely brilliant, love your videos, your ideas are so similar to mine. Love improving things too. Im definitely putting a pit in now, such a game changer. Also love the mix of modern and classic tractors, that new Massey looks the business and that’s coming from a JD guy! Keep up the great videos!

I definitely agree that having air plumbed around the building is damn handy (helps that I used to sell & install such air systems 😉). A few external/outdoor air points doesn't hurt either (as well as outdoor power points). We have separate systems for each building, because it's easier than running more airline between the sheds. Good thinking on the sideways-over-the-pit trick. Might be worth your while making a dedicated set of plates for your small equipment, in case the jacking beams are in use further along the pit (as your pit is reasonably long, it would be quite possible for you to put more than one machine over the pit simultaneously if you plan it ahead of time). Whoever is filming you is a good, steady-handed camera operator. I can't see your new cow catcher working in the scrub paddocks, so I might have to give that one a miss.

[@dfross87]

Oh, and what have I been doing? I had to field replace a couple of hydraulic hoses the other day. Yay. I love changing hydraulic hoses on dirty equipment. Apart from that, more slashing along the access tracks. It's one of those jobs you do on the farm when there's nothing else to do.

[@TheVillageIdiotUk]

Smashing video Mr.Lamb and congratulations for your nomination and accession to the finals of content creator of the year. Best of British with that one ! I enjoy the longer stuff and insights to machinery and how you go about running your farm - more please ! 😊

[@Tomlamb980]

Thank you kindly

[@jakobrebeki]

Them oil tanks look good. I have passed on the details to where i work and the Guv seems quite interested. That Harrow looks a beast. Thanks for posting....

[@lightning9279]

Always wondered if it was a multi generational family farm operation. Now I know. You are quite the asset. The abilities you have certainly add to the progress of the farm.

[@charleshart6992]

Another excellent video Tom - you and your family run a very impressive operation!

[@Wolfyjinny]

Congratulations on getting to the top 5, let's hope you nail it. I like the idea of those oil tanks, only thing is ... the sight glasses look a bit exposed, I wouldn't fancy cracking them if the tanks were full, 900L of general purpose floor oil if someone accidentally drops something up against them, it may be an idea to cage them if possible. I love the tool area and the mix of old and new, you can never have too many hammers, they are everything from fine tuning to Brutus Maximus 😂

[@HowellJones75]

We need to know more about the Mk1 Escort hiding in the corner.

[@PalNevets-rx9wp]

I reckon you need TWO pits. You know you want to. They can be linked to each other. And I'm sure you know what the 2nd one needs that you didn't get around to with Pit 1.

[@MattTester]

Took me a minute to realise you were being filmed instead of filming that yourself, very professional. Still can't take it too seriously though!

[@AndyJ5431]

If your vids are too long we will need to ask for a longer lunch break to watch them. Great content. That rake will be ideal for pulling thatch out of grass in the spring. I was hoping to get a sneaky preview of the cow catcher before your dad got it home. It looks like a great piece of kit to make the job easier. Well done all. 👍

[@dfross87]

If Tom does make a REALLY long video, I wonder if Tom's kebab bloke will deliver to all the viewers 🤔🙃....

funny to think colin was plinky plonking lullabies to baby tom.....aarrrr.... 😁 remember going round with my uncle on his farm, we counted 27 hammers strategically placed around by his farm worker. we weren't bothered as mike was a pretty good welder so could fix most the things he bust 🤣

Your ingenuity knows no bounds Tom, but you really need to double the HP on that seeding rake. Diversification of Agricultural Kit is the way forward. No chance of catching Sheep tho. 😹

[@chrisheald6897]

Really enjoyed the video, especially the extra Q & A. Forgot to watch it in my new hat 😆

[@stephengarner9109]

Just a thought - turning up the taps on the oil tanks will probably mean that you will collect all sorts of dust and detritus.

[@jeffrichards66]

Heroin, hammers & harrows. I was laughing out loud.. keep at it Tom, great stuff.

[@jeremyupton850]

Enjoyed the vid, my only concern with bulk oil deliveries is there is more chance of an error being made by the supplier when filling your tanks. Wrong oil being put in the wrong tank, you have to put a lot of trust in the driver to select correct oil and not contaminate your tank. Nothing safer than to read the label on your 200 ltr barrel and pump it out. Also you can move the barrel easily to another location if reqd. I can see the advantages of bulk supply but not sure if my OCD would let me go that route.

[@Tomlamb980]

Never thought of that

[@thedudeabides8046]

HEY TOM great little live matey , OK , CONCRETE CAT T-shirt idea , cat walking through fresh concrete with oaw prints spelling out TOM LAMB. One of my better ideas I think

[@Silverhornet81]

Having been in shops with air lines routed around, do you have shut off valves in the lines? If a hose pops it's handy to have a shut off near by. Dont worry about long vids, we will watch them!

[@johnwarwick4105]

Why will a hose pop 🤷‍♂️most farmers use the blue water pipe works a treat

[@Silverhornet81]

@@johnwarwick4105 gotta run a hose from the connector to the tool, and the connectors can fail too. Bearings can pop out, the release collar can get stuck, all sorts of things.

[@Silverhornet81]

I will admit if a hose pops you can always release it from the hard line, but there are more than just hoses that can fail.

[@johnwarwick4105]

Always find it strange that the Witham oil lorry has the oil in drums then pumps it into the tanks. How do they avoid cross contamination in the delivery hose 🤷‍♂️. Be interesting to see how the cow catcher works when it’s a bit more lively than your dad 😂. Managed to con my young daughter into putting her head a new crush many years ago, she wasn’t impressed

[@peteb3365]

they blow loads air through the delivery pipe to clear the oil

[@TrevorDennis100]

When you say, 'build your own pit' I think you forgot to prefix it with 'If you have a digger'. Or a back hoe, of course. We did have a small pit on the farm, but it was hand dug, and pretty hard work. Ours was only lined with breeze blocks, and probably not particularly safe, now I think about it. You did a stellar job with yours, and I love that you designed it from scratch before starting. Or did you get your ideas from seeing other pits?

[@georgehay5929]

Congratulations, Tom, on your utube content. I hope you win as you deserve it. Another cracking video. And 2 nice bits of machinery

[@ChongMcBong]

good stuff as always, cheers Tom :)

[@davidquirk8097]

For those selection boxes of parts stacked under the beautifully tidied work bench clearly mark on the end that faces out what's in them. It saves having to pick each one up and read the top / look in them when you're busy working on something. The other thing I do with the blow moulded tool cases that some power tools (mainly the cheap ones) come in is clearly mark the top of the box so you don't open it upside down.
