Neat! I'd never seen one of those crumblers in action before. You lot have a different way of doing things than we do, it's interesting to watch. We'd typically run a disk harrow over it, then a field cultivator or other finisher. Interesting too, how many different impliments are 3 point mounted over there vs here. We'd likely not even be able to get into many of your fields with our equipment, given all the hedges and stone fences. Just goes to show- form follows function!
Very nice there! Down here in Dorset we have planted already but our maize down here hasn't germinated yet, I'll be popping up to Yorkshire next week and I'll have a look at how farming differs
Richard, pls can you explain - what's the extender arm for on the drilling run? Is it a guide for the next run down? Thanks for another interesting and thoughtful video.
@@thefunkyfarmer Why is it that it's so far out though? Surely I wouldn't think that you would allow that arm to till up the ground, where the seeds have been sewn, on the second pass nor would you allow that extra space, between the wheel and the drill, go to waste. Am I right?
Hey Funkyfarmer, its been a while since I commented on your videos. They way you guys farm across the pond just blows my mind compared to the way we farm in the US. Just the size of the equipment and the way you approach working the soil is so different. I don't think I have seen anyone use a rototiller in a field. Interesting though that you use Pioneer seeds. Hopefully you have a good season. We planted our corn and soybeans about 2 weeks ago and are coming up nicely.
Hi. Thanks for the comments. Its probably best not to judge my videos as representative of arable farming in the uk. We are really only a small farm doing a bit of maize for forage. The large arable farms are in the east of the country where the scale of the fields and machinary is much bigger.. Good luck with your season
I notice there are no birds following the plough like there used to be when I was a child (1970's). Is that because the soil is sterile? I note that agri-business people use Round-Up, so I am guessing this has killed all the soil flora and fauna?
Is all your cultivation, planting and harvesting done by a contractor? I think that you said that in a past video. Where I come from in Canada contract or custom work is not too common.

This is very cool! Thanks for posting it. I wish more people could see how this stuff happens!

Great video. Nothing like seeing a Tractor working on a field.
Thanks
Awesome video Richard! Nice gear.

Cameron Phillips that will be interetsing. I don't think much has germinated round here as its been so cold

Foss2506 yes thats right, its a guide to see where to go next

Hey, thanks for the video. It's been interesting to the operator's equipment of choice and how he uses it.
Good modernize equipment with less stress really love the video display
We have GPS and autosteer in our tractors here in the states. We use 35 to 80 feet planters.
Here in belgium we just spread liquid slurry then we cultevare it in af ter that we plough and the contactor has a sower with and cultivator on to it
erosion?, lost of fertile land? 1m per 25 year?
Fantastic video! Does all that grass grow over winter? And why do you use contractors rather than buying your own kit? Thanks
Luke U the grass grows a bit over winter but not a lot. We cant justify the cost of this machinary for the amount of maize we grow (only 14 acres)
Another great vid. Why do u not cover your maize because in Ireland most of the time we cover
Becouse the weather over in the UK is better than what it is here so then they dont need to cover it and they save money.
Kawasaki 610 yes we dont need to cover it here as the climate is ok
Only one field this year??
Thought you normally have 2.
Either way a great video a bit of every thing
best tractors there sir

TGF BEN
yes we did 2 fields again this year
how much would a tractor like this cost?
What are these equipments called? The ones hooked up to the tractor.
@@rayonjason1425 depends, a brand new one can go for more than 150k USD depending on the make and model.
How much for these machines if somebody need it to buy
richard have u been to the ploughing matches and if so want did u think and have u tired horse ploughing
No I haven't but sounds good
Nice video :)
great video as always...somebody needs to show that guy how to plough a straight furrow though
I'm not complaining as the finished job is good, besides this is rocky soil sometimes the large rocks get in the way
thefunkyfarmer aye. Do you not spray off the grass before ploughing?
Yes its been sprayed off, its just not completely dead when it's ploughed in
Thankyou!!
Do you grow the same variety or do you experiment?
Paul F usually just stick with the one we know is good.This one is called Justina but is getting old now
Is all your cultivation, planting and harvesting done by a contractor? I think that you said that in a past video. Where I come from in Canada contract or custom work is not too common.
R MacK yes it is. Due to the size of our farm we can't justify the cost of all the machinary. The larger the farm the more viable it is
Can you please tell me which company equipment are used here?, i need all the details please help me to find this agri equipment.
i need it.
+Naresh Chhetry i don't know, it belongs to a contractor. The tractor is a New Holland
+thefunkyfarmer, is there any contact number to be in touch with this contractor ??
@@sanjayg.cchhetry1981 the crosskill-roller is made by väderstad
That's ok
What seed did you plant?
+jack hawken we used to use Justina but i think we switched this year.Sorry i can't remember what too
yuo plant only mais ? never barley ?
mate good video however I am sure some of those clips were from a few years ago :)
Yes well spotted, I didn't have time to film it all this year so thought I'd do a compilation instead
oh ok fair enough :)
how many cows you have
ride fast our be last about 75 milkers
