BIG SPUDS, LITTLE SPUDS, STONES AND CLAY - POTATO GRADER
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 гру 2020
- In todays video we use our latest piece of equipment to grade the spuds. We needed to do this because there was too much clay in the box with the spuds and some of the spuds had started to sprout.

Many years ago I spent hours working on a machine just like that one. Riddling Spuds in Lincolnshire. The spuds were pied down for the winter time in long straw and earth pies, clamps perhaps ?.Single cylinder Lister engine pounding away all day, no electric power available. Yes three different sizes mainly, little ones usually went to the pigs eventually. Out in the field, cold, wet sometimes, frosty usually. Sometimes had to use an axe to break the soil off the pie. Spuds usually OK because wrapped in straw. Remember it well. Temember too the Potato Marketing Board coming and pouring purple die all over the spuds to stop them being sold, reason ?. To keep the price up in the shops . We still managed to salvage a few bags full though. You need a proper tatie fork, tines with a round ball on the ends.
Lovely job thanks
The lovely Liv is never far from the action, Bless her.
Great 👍 video farmer 👩🌾 Phil nice 👍 to see liv help you keep safe 👍👍🏴🏴🇬🇧🇬🇧🚜👨🌾👨🌾😷😷
Bro needs to start practicing juggling over the winter, he will get much quicker with both hands on the potato planter next year! 100 acres planted in no time, garage full of spuds, happy days!
OMG.. Spent many years shovelling several tonnes of spuds in one of them, when I was much younger. Being shouted at by father to keep hopper full
Lol I spend many years walking behind the tiller picking rocks
Memories there.. we used to grow 150 acres of spuds back 25 year ago.. would have to grade 5 tones every evening and take them to Dublin markets for early morning... don't miss standing in a cold shed at 10 o clock at night grading and bagging after been working all day ...
Love potato sorting as young lad
great video Phil! I had never seen a potato grader in action before
Great bit of kit....I can taste the Champ now...😋
Fair dues lad there is honest work in it . Your lady and yourself are great country folk 💪 More power to you man 👍🏻
Nice one Phil.
Great feeding for livestock, damaged and small spuds, they go mad for them
Keep on keeping on
Brilliant video Phil great to see something different, and see new machines that some of us would never see
That looks like a fair machine alright - well wear it with Phil & Liv
Good shout out for FarmFlix too.
Meal bag filled with straw where the potatoes fall would help for next time.
You need to get the canvas hanging on bungees to reduce the drop of the first lot. You see it on the big trailers. Seen on FarmFlix 😉
Box tipper for the loader next purchase if your going to grow more rule of thumb by the way potatoes shouldn't fall more than six inches to avoid bruising
Grand workin tattie riddle does exactly what u guys needed . Maybe next year ul grow more and ul have all the plant to cover handling it . Ul need a box tippler for the telehandler now to empty the boxes out . Ul be fine for a couple of acres next year weather allowing . Hope ur all well . Take care stay safe .
Should have put a ratchet strap around the spud box & headstock, you could have tipped them out easily then.... the grader is a great machine 👍🏻
That was really cool to see the potato grader in action, sure it will come in real handy for you next year. Thanks to your recommendation a long while back I'm already a member of FarmFLix it's absolutely brilliant. Great video, cheers.
Handy bit of kit!
O wow good time since been a spud riddle nice to see boss should be stood on good spud side checking cheers marc
spot on dumping that box of spuds...
Get d farm shop open for d veg and spuds and a wee merch stand 2!! Yea farmflix is class... nearly as good as farmer Phil.
Waiting all week for the loft in garage video
I think dropping them in the box is not good my grandfather used to say treat them like eggs!!
Good work you're starting to get organized
Like gold rush in there
Hey Phil, loving the aul videos, if you put the potatoes in the a tonne bag with the string opening at the bottom with might a bit easier to load them into the hopper the next time.
Have the same unit here, expect it has and extra layer and conveyor on the side so can separate into 4 sizes.
Will pile up the soil underneath over time but great for putting on veg patch or flower bed. Important to keep it level. Watch out for the lift conveyor getting jammed at the top.
When I was a kid in the 60's my little brother was.playing on the ground next to one of these and he went to stand up put his hand on the belt and it went round the pulley still remember him squeeling to this day
The mild weather has them sprouting Phil. Removing the soil will make no difference if it stays mild. That severe frost last night should slow it down. The earlier varieties like Queens would be sprouting. Later varieties like Roosters would be fine.
Farmer Phil's Potatoes coming to a store near you soon 😂🤣
albert rooster shaking in his shoes
Good video Farmer Phil 👍🏻
Nice machine well done 👍
Good operation 👍
Your an education Phil and father Phil
Spent many a week at that job outside we had a lister engine on our one
Remember 30 years ago up in the North they used to put purple dye on spuds an sell them for cattle feed . Did they do that down by you?
Love the vids when you starting to buy calves again are you going to get 400 the year
Well Phil 👍
Great little grader Phil I used one for many years and still do be lost wit out it u need to buy automatic planter next
looks like you can bag the spuds with that riddle aswell i used to work with one
Great to see it working phil, will you plant more next year?
Love these videos Phil. You must be delighted to finally have time to go at these jobs at home. Looking forward to the nxt workshop video. Don’t think you’ve a Farmflix link in description
Cheers totally forgot. Currently sick as a dog🤮
@@FARMERPHIL3690 get well soon.
You should do this more often great content
Great video Phil FarmFlix is well worth it good lads
Nice video Phil, you need to get a potato fork
You’ll be bigger than country crest in no time in Phil 😂😉
Interesting
have you thought about putting a thin layer of straw to separate you keeping spuds for frost protection
Don't know if there is such a thing as a "potato grape" available these days. It's like a multi pronged fork with thick rounded ends on the end of each prong to stop you spearing the spuds and picking up soil.
Yea they will be available in most farm supply shops
You need a handy wheel barrow.
Hi big fan
Is it not easier working with bags and cover them with blankets to stop frost getting in.
I have one off thoughts but 6x as big and more hi tech
Phil I love potatoes ❤ you need to marry that English girl &find a place of your own down the rd. Or something you can build. ♥️u man! Gods blessings &I need another beer
Get that farm shop open eggs fruit veg, meat packs Merch 👍

Jesus would have been present in the shed with Phil so wouldn't need to watch the video.
@@Dave-jm5yo my friend was first to like a guy called Buga so I ga e hi some agri sense
@@PReilly-xl5wk my nephew was on my phone if he said anything mean I'll talk some sense in to him sorry
Spuds are cheap these days, why bother?
There isn't much money out off beef either, just to try something different i suppose
They are farmers... that is to say every farmer at one time produced most of their needs... but farmers were advised to stop because it was more cost effective to keep another cow or an extra acre of barley etc so the knowledge was lost ... but listening to Phils father and uncle they still have it and actively passing it on
@@kevinleonard62 that was before Aldi and Lidl came along
#KC the harm was done long before they turned up... I'm 58 and grew up on a 50 acres farm in westmeath and remember that time when we had every thing for ourselves... basically tea and sugar was bought.. .. still remember when the garden was grassed over .... look it was very different times some say good times... but maybe the jury is still out on that one ... anyway Phil keep up the good work
Hes going selling his own beef so he might sell a few spuds aswell
