Good work Adrian.Good of you to mention Richard "funky farmer".He has suffered and was quite ill.I don't want to mention his problem to all but we all wish him the best and hope for a complete recovery.
Love the way the YouTubing farmers support one another. I follow the Funky Farmer as he’s not that far from me. Staggered to see how bad his maize is. As you say he’s a strong man and I’m sure he will get through this
Very productive ! Your girls can help you find different music for haying. Thank you for sharing. My best to F. F. for successful recovery. Thanks for calf update.🐄🐄
One of the things I most vividly remember from My childhood visits to Ireland was how utterly dark it got at night. The drone shots of the tractor, so ably demonstrated this. Thanks for the memories.
Great stuff Adrian Great to see your daughters out giving you a hand not like most kids know a days stuck in front of a PlayStation Great video hope the funky farmer makes a full recovery 👍
@@edwardconnolly8580 Farmers have been making a living for hundreds of years . Its never been easier with the latest tech and machinery and then add to that the subsidies and grants that are available. . If you think this is hard you must just sit on your hole all day !
He really is its nice to see the next generation having some old school calues like looking after there toolsof there trade. This young man is the future of farming its nice to see this young farmers ahead as he is at such a young age.
Fantastic video as always! Looking forward to seeing the loader back on! No wonder you’re always in high spirits your farm and the land around it is beautiful 👍
Great video today Adrian. I've never seen a bale carrier/tipper like that before. Very cool but of kit. Your girls are awesome. Great help and good work effort. I didn't know the paint kept the birds off the bales either. Monofilament fishing line strung over the bales would keep them off too.
@@IFarmWeFarm I was a District Manager for Walmart in my business life before retirement. It's what we would use in front of static open doors to keep the birds out. Just make 'X' patterns over the top. Should take care of it.
Perfect video! Very interesting Adrian especially drone footage of baler,great to see all the calves looking well,and total respect to you,for mentioning Funky Farmer,well done you.
Shoot a couple of crow and tie them to the fence, still the best deterrent but no good if your near town people they don't understand country, we net the bales now and that works well, great night time drone work and the lasses made a great job painting those bales if they don't get into farming they can always start a painting and decorating business up, thanks for sharing Adrian, good luck to you
I left mine out for a week, and the crows did get them. I did not get them in straight away because of family issues. I had to tape mine, and I put a crow net on the bales.
Great video Adrian, Lovely weather, great tidy farm 🚜 u have , was wondering will u be doing video 📹 during winter time thanks, kieran from Laghey donegal town
Is there some ingredient in the paint that deters the crows or is it just the different colors that are off putting? Could you use two different colors of plastic wrap in your machine to achieve same results?
Hello Adrian.another great video as usual.great to here and see that ur girl has big interest in helping u out on the farm.u seem to have a great return in ur second crop.the land here in galway is like mass concrete.when the rain comes it will flow fir miles as it won't soak in fir a long time.the net is a great job.i see a man here beside me he breaks up old tapes that u could play in the car years back.he takes out the brown bit and ties them together.u wouldn't believe the whizz that's off it even if the breeze is very light.cant wait to see the next video.
Would the same Rhino cover you have on the silage pit work to cover the bales to prevent crow damage Adrian?Just a thought.Good of you to mention the Funky Farmer at this time.Great video as always👍🚜🐄
Generally the damage done to bales by crows is done in the first few hours of making them, after that they tend to leave them alone! Nets work well in some cases
@@IFarmWeFarm we use net’s kept up a little with tyres and anchored to old spray cans about half full of water. Very successful to keep the birds off. The crows all came and sat on the wall having a discussion about the nets
I dont why the paint isnt working is it because the lack of food in the wild or is it that they seen the girls painting them and then they realised all them years it was just paint I dont know but you should get a banger or two to scare them away if this keeps happening but great video it was great to see the girls flat out at work and non stop of getting the job done👍
Could we have a quick video sometime if you didn't mind just the overall price of that wee slatted shed at the other farm where you stack the bales, just it's a great wee shed just the size I need... Thanks
Have you tried different coloured wrap?? There's green,white, pink just wondering if you have tried that.And agree about b....... birds picking holes.Here in Aussie its the parrots but nothing serious
@@paulholmes7444 surely someone has done it before and would know the results, likely green and black id imagine at least in Down its usually those 2 colours 95% of the time.
@@philipthompson1674 I have used black and white and green and black and the crows never went near them. The last time I used black I ended up using 5 rolls of silage tape on only 100 bales. We are in a bad crow area. I find it amazing that the funky farmer can leave his out for a week or two with no damage.
Great video as always Adrian have you ever considered using plastic film instead of net gives an extra bit of protection and seems to forment bales better.
Do you think painting does the job, we use silage net our big problem is squirrels, must admit we did not thing much of your choice of music on this video👍
Ya paint normally always does the job Harold, ya that music is a hit and miss. I had a different song on it first but then couldn’t use it due to a copyright. This was a 5am replacement. Good music that’s free to use is hard got.
here is one machine i can recommend for the smaller farmer and fruit farmer 'Quad-X Power Shredder Flail Mower' i just bought one last week and ive been doing the orchards, forest areas around the house, the neighbours lawns for fun... works really well behind the Quad bikes, you can go where your tractor cant...
Great video Adrian. Would you not go film on film rather than the net? I know it’s a bit more expensive but in my experience to date there is hardly any waste with it compared to the net.
Never really considered it before, contractor does usually land with the net ready to go. Might try it in the future though as a good few people say it’s a good job
Great job Adrian very satisfying video for some reason some equipment
Nice one regarding Mr funky you are a real gentleman Adrian you have great hardworking girls to help you God bless them
2:00, a fine traditional Cavan tune
Reminds me of becki Giles
Great video Adrian 👌
Big helo from Sarajevo we love u and u are my king all Best I wish uuuu
Good man Adrian, your girls are a credit to you both. Fantastic to see such a great work ethic in children so young 🖒
Nice one Adrian & girls, great to have the help, gray crows, an awful shower of...well you know, keep at her Lad!

I seen that, the uk seemed to be badly hit in places. Think there to get rain this week but that maize is past saving unfortunately
I was home for that good weather it was savage weeks sun
The funky farmer is something else I must say. An inspiration to us all
a very nice good person it is!! il agree!!
He's a hardy ole buck , doesn't be Long about getting his Funk back 👌
Nice one Adrian . Well said about Richard . He’s a top man. Always cheery and smiling and ploughs on no matter what 💪🏻
Get yourself front linkage for big massey it really is a blessing for bales plus easy way off putting off and on front weights
Very productive ! Your girls can help you find different music for haying. Thank you for sharing. My best to F. F. for successful recovery. Thanks for calf update.🐄🐄

A man much respected by many...

Brilliant video Adrian lovely words about Richard the funky farmer we are all in your corner the funky farmer ♥️
👍👍😁Great work with the drone Nichole!
Glad the calves are doing well.
Darned crows are a nuisance! ❤️
Hi adrian great video, a smear of grease works wonders on top of bales, just a very small amount, works well for me
Great stuff Adrian Great to see your daughters out giving you a hand not like most kids know a days stuck in front of a PlayStation Great video hope the funky farmer makes a full recovery 👍
Why are you stuck on your phone watching videos of a man baling silage instead of doing something useful ?

agree about the funky farmer . been watching him for years ,.even when he a lovely 690 massey ..
The girls definitely chose the rap music 👍 nice touch
Great video i could watch baling all day the sound of bale's being wrapped is relaxing
Can't wait for the next one
Fantastic video as always! Looking forward to seeing the loader back on! No wonder you’re always in high spirits your farm and the land around it is beautiful 👍
Nice of you to mention Richard he is another top man like you Adrian 👍👍👍👍👍

Good few bales can't wait to see how it comes out next winter and great video as always 😀 👌
Great video again Adrian. Ur girl's are stars 👏👍👌
Try a few blobs of grease from the grease gun on top of the bales. Have been doing it here for good few years and keeps birds away.
Brilliant video again
i would try little dabs of grease with the grease gun always worked for us and never had to paint a bale since ,great video
nice farm u have there lad
Old faithfull drone, flying at night in the dark! Nice shots Adrian.👍
Great video Adrian Great outfit 👌
Perfect video! Very interesting Adrian especially drone footage of baler,great to see all the calves looking well,and total respect to you,for mentioning Funky Farmer,well done you.
Nice tribute to the Funky one.
Can't beat Cavan in the fine weather 🌞 ☀️
Great video as usual, your kids will ensure the family farm goes on to anther generation. Hopefully Nicole will also keep up the great videos as well.
Great video as per usual Adrian but can’t wait to see that Massey and loader all shined up! 😁
Brillant video as always lad
Another great video Adrian good to see the girls helping out with the painting of the bales great drone footage 👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧🏴🏴
Good job Adrian and girls on the painting duties, it all helps!
Watching from Wisconsin.
Facinating!
I always use a couple dabs of grease on my bales.no issues with the birds.Great videos,keep up the good work.

Another very good vid thank you Adrian. Btw how many hectares have you?
Have the girls any white paint left to do my ceiling….. they have done a great job
adrian you should try just a small bit of grease on the bales we do it on the home farm and its some job
Thanks for sharing all the things you do
Hello from Moosomin, Saskatchewan, Canada you have a great family great videos thanks for sharing
Hi Adrian great video! Would you ever put the double bale handler on the 5460 and have the stacker on the front so you could take 3 bales at a time?
Could be done for sure Clian
Ya finished the job a few months back alright adrian. And the crow damage wont matter a dam over all
Great video good work by the girls they are a big help
I run out of water, and have to bring water into the farm from another farm.
The grass needs rain badly in the south west!!
Great video a farmer uses black and white plastic together to keep birds away did you ever hear of that I have never done it
Yes some people said that, white plastic is hard got around me but pink might work as we can get it. Might try it next year
How many bales of how many acres 2nd cut Adrian? I'm curious on average number of bales per acre 👍
Did you ever try a line of cds over the bales.
Nice maschines those Mc Bale round baler/wrap combination. Very efficient and still compact.
Great machines Lad
Looking forward to seeing the finished tractor and loader. bet is is mint.
Seems strange hearing an inspirational farmer talking of another one !! GHTYAY Keith
We use green or white wrap and I have seen damaged bales patched with the black tape and the crow’s came and damaged the patches again
Seen on a program one night if you put a spot of greese on each bale there won’t be a bird in sight try that works well here
Is there some ingredient in the paint that deters the crows or is it just the different colors that are off putting? Could you use two different colors of plastic wrap in your machine to achieve same results?
Thats my friend baling for you good man isit he
Brilliant 👍

Nice content, not sure about the music though. Keep up the good work 👍
big work
Yes Adrian u should pit four or five spots of grease on top of the bales we do it and it's working great u should try it
well adrian have you ever tried putting grease on the bales
What wrap was that Adrian?
I was expecting evenflow to come driving across the field
Grad job yet again. Great to see you talking about a fella UA-camr like that. One big happy family
Would the same Rhino cover you have on the silage pit work to cover the bales to prevent crow damage Adrian?Just a thought.Good of you to mention the Funky Farmer at this time.Great video as always👍🚜🐄

Any reason you don't double stack. saves some space. Got a nice new shiny loader 🧐🧐🤪🤪👍👍👍👍
No real reason, just never really bothered as there was always enough Space there. Might stack them
Next year
Would u ever try the white plastic as replacement for the net
My contractor does have the net already on so I never really bothered to ask him to change things, net works really well
I dont why the paint isnt working is it because the lack of food in the wild or is it that they seen the girls painting them and then they realised all them years it was just paint I dont know but you should get a banger or two to scare them away if this keeps happening but great video it was great to see the girls flat out at work and non stop of getting the job done👍

Could we have a quick video sometime if you didn't mind just the overall price of that wee slatted shed at the other farm where you stack the bales, just it's a great wee shed just the size I need... Thanks
Would the use of white wrapping plastic instead of black eliminate the crow damage?
Did you get up to moynalty today
What's the wrap cost Adrian? We are debating how little we can wrap due to cost as paying double last year
what about a hoop barn with net on it for the bales
Yes might get a net this week for them, same as we used on our silage pit. Be a lot handier if the wind doesn’t steel it 😉
Have you tried different coloured wrap?? There's green,white, pink just wondering if you have tried that.And agree about b....... birds picking holes.Here in Aussie its the parrots but nothing serious
No never tried that but heard mixed reports on it, be worth trying maybe next year
Wonder if ya set wrapper up with 2 diff coloured rolls what the birds would make of it, should end up strips looking all over.
@@philipthompson1674 Yeap that's another good idea,will have the striped affect
@@paulholmes7444 surely someone has done it before and would know the results, likely green and black id imagine at least in Down its usually those 2 colours 95% of the time.

There's certainly no drought in Ireland.
Our second cut got to about 4 inches of regrowth and died. Looks like it's all the glyphosated around here.
Great video as always Adrian have you ever considered using plastic film instead of net gives an extra bit of protection and seems to forment bales better.
Never tried it Dean, net normally works well for us so fare but we may try it one year for sure as others say it a great job
Probably a really stupid question but I’ve no farming knowledge. Why have you bailed this instead of putting it in the pit?
Would the crows also peck in white foil?
Adrian - any problems there with Ash Dieback ? Might make for an interesting video .............
Yes seen it on a few trees last year, think Farmer P in the UK done a few videos on it last year.
Hi Adrian do you not use farmer phill for your contracting or is he too far away from you love your videos keep them coming 👍
To fare away lad, have this contractor for years now and jibs are always done perfectly
A bit of tractor grease on them each will help
Your choice of music surprised me 🤪
Ya that song was a 5am replacement as my first song got a copy right claim. Good music that is free to use is becoming very hard to find lately
@@IFarmWeFarm it didn’t detract from a great video…and a thumbs up for the big effort from the girls

Try using grease on the bales the crows think it’s haws 💩and don’t come near 👍
Y don’t u use the 5460 to bring in the bales u could take 3 at the time be a bit faster and she would be well capable for it
No loader on her at the min Daniel
