The Gentleman Farmer
Canada
Приєднався 2 вер 2013
Kirk Fell Farm is a 143ac permaculture farm in Northern Alberta, Canada. The farm is owned by the Metcalfe family, who started their unconventional homesteading journey in 2017.
The farm is named after Kirk Fell, a prominent mountain in the Pennine range that overlooks Stan’s childhood home in the UK Lake District. The purpose of this UA-cam channel is to help educate others about applying permaculture principles to common agricultural and horticultural practices, to improve the foods we eat, and inspire people to reduce their carbon footprint by growing their own food.

Try combining, the only way a day can go………. I’ll trade you combine for sheeps. 🤣👍🍻
Goodevening
I wish there was an option to owning this kind of crap. But if you want to drive today, this is your option. I don't believe any of the other brands are any better. I bet the wife loves the wheels when it is working. I wouldn't waste your time replacing the sensor. I have never owned a vehicle that didn't have a dented bumper. That's what they are for, right? At least with a yukon you are probably not even feel it when it happen, so they can't call it hit and run. LOL
Sounds like typical GM horse 💩. I always seemed to end up with electrical problems in any Gm or Chevy product I’ve owned. My experience anyway.
My solution is i keep fixing my 03 duramax haha I'm not into that kinda business. Guy would go broke fixing all those little items lol
Same problem.....viewed your entire video....problem solved!!!... I tip my stetson!!!
Stan, you could take the back up lights out and put in more break and tail lights. The wire is going by the light anyway.
You could just buy magnetic trailer lights
I use wireless trailer lights. They have their disadvantages. But they are easy to install.😊
decompress the cylinder first? is that a thing?
The sad part is not only are those jobs critical but they pay lousy too. You have to have an enormous work ethic and morals to show up to work being led by an idiot who is paid more than you, who then pushes you to your limits. Try being in Quality Control/Assurance in big Pharma where you are essentially a sheriff, understaffed, under equipped, underpaid, and your bosses are piling on work to keep you too busy to catch every little infraction.
Backup lights??? Nope 👎
Good evening Stan. Whatever it takes to get the job done. Believe we’ve used a hunk or two in the past.
Many times in a pinch. Sometimes they work well. Good three wire 14 gauge
Grease fixed my leaky bead, thanks!
thx for this fix .....it worked for me
Oh boy 🤨I don't imagine the school was very impressed either.
Hahaha, school bus drivers. Had a few that made a guy angry. Some really good ones, but we had a couple real gems. One didn’t always show up to pick the kids up at the end of the day. That was frustrating after the fifth time.
Stan. I totally agree with you. Congratulations to your daughter on her first day of school. A big new chapter in her little life👏👏👏
At least the smoke hides all the lines in the skies from the spraying going on
Gotta love fall fairs 😃Lot's of work getting accomplished 👍
Good morning Stan ☕️☕️👍. Nice gate.
Smoky up here today too. I love the conspiracy theories. Hahahaha 😂
You’ll sweat a few pounds off chasing them sheeps around. 🤣👍🍻
Animal welfare, humane are never words you can use when you murder animals halal or not.
Some Red rose tea!
I’m a Tetley fan.
Great job 👍
Thank you.
Goodmorning. 🥛☕️🥞
Good morning!
Good evening Stan 🍻👍🥃🥃🥃
How’s Chad doing today?
@@KirkFellFarm not bad. Fire up a combine in peas today I guess. Got caught up on greenfeed baling. Another 60 acres to go later this week. Running good, 7 big bales an acre.
@chadtosh6831 oh that’s decent.
@@KirkFellFarm Fricking astounding to be honest. 70 acres of baler oats gave me 515 big rounds. Enough to feed 100 cows for the winter. Between that and the 110 acres of clover I did earlier will almost feed 200 cows this winter.
Nice to see you made the old lady sing. LOL. Timing is everything on those old girls.
I think the father in law was ready to burn it 🤣
Hmmmmmm…….. sausage lover ehhh? 🤣👍🍻
Figured that would get a reaction 🤣
You don't wanna be the grain cart guy, your gunna take abuse haha. Baler guy is usually the neutral guy . No one associates with you but yes you are a bit forgotten, but that's OK cause your dealing with your issues without someone up your ass lol
enjoyed the vid!
Stan, I found with those deere balers, you A . Disconnect the bale kicker if you haven't, B. I have found backing way back away from the swath when your wrapping and ejecting it doesn't try to throw straw through and in turn doesn't let the door fully close . Maybe this is something you have done but if you haven't, it's worth a shot
Haven’t disconnected the kicker, but I did back up away from the swath as quick as possible. In the end, I just left it running at 2000rpm. Still had the odd bale that would split open, but way less farting around between bales.
@KirkFellFarm what a pain. We just found that with the light straw years especially crispy wheat straw it was piling up in front of the pick up and then when a guy was tying it was spitting into the back end and piling up at the door and yeah the door wouldn't close . Must be a deere thing
That's how you do gentleman farming - hire out everything you can. (which at this point may be zero) :)
naw, the swather is the low man - everyone likes bales. :)
remove the J.D. lock sensor and install a camera that shows the latch latching. :)
I think it would be very hard to see inside there.
complex bailer function - the solution will ultimately be revealed by the answer to the grand unified theory problem. :)
that diet should cause depression above and beyond the password.
We have sometimes had difficulty baling barley straw on warmer days. We often wait until it is cooler out to do it.
Ya it’s like trying to wrap dandelion fluff when it’s hot out.
Fed lots of straw. Mainly barley. Feed 1/3 straw, 2/3 hay and a few pounds of barley. Cows come into calving in good shape. If they are losing ground I give a little extra grain. Last winter I did use some molasses on pea straw, it was fine when hay is $200 a bale. At $100 a bale, I’d have to break out the pencil crayons and do some math especially when feed barley is just over $4 a bushel instead of $6.
I’m doing some pretty advanced calculations right now too.
Heck I run the truck and run the baler between semi loads. Lol
Hopefully you get some lunch.
The most frustrating baler I ever owned was the john Deere baler we had. And we had it from new. So glad when it went down the road. This new Vermeer baler makes that John Deere look like an over priced green turd.
The Deere baler once I found the sweet spot, was better than the Case baler, but not as good as the old Hesston. Quicker, but more problems.
Good evening Stan 🥃🥃🥃👍🍻
Once equipment is used, it all has its quirks. Idling down to shut the door doesn’t seem right. If you aren’t idled up, you probably aren’t putting enough pressure on it to latch properly. My opinion anyway. 🤷♂️👍🍻
I ended up saying to hell with the instructions, and ran it at full rpm the whole time. Stopped having issues, except for the overheating.
field and bales look great - nice job. check your oil pump regarding the heat issue
kicker --- I've seen people increase throttle after it says 'stop, I'm rolling'
yeah, like the owner said :)
how about all sheep and no fences except the perimeter fence?
bring them into a small wolf-proof corral at dusk - study the bible, anthropology for shepherding tips :)
no fences in sight :)
Send them all, they’ll sort them lambs for size at the sale.
