GRASSMEN are the fast-paced, global agriculture phenomenon whose video content and merchandise are recognised worldwide. The business was started in 2009 by current director Gareth Gault, known to fans as ‘Donkey’. His love and passion for machinery allowed him to experiment with cameras and upload content to UA-cam. To his surprise, a large following soon developed and the niche in the market for real-life, documentary, farming and machinery action made it possible to drive the brand forward.
We at GRASSMEN, pride ourselves on providing an exclusive look into agricultural manufacturers, meeting real, working farmers, showing and demonstrating tractors and machinery through all seasons such as silage and slurry and ultimately educating and entertaining our fans.
If you love all things agriculture from top manufacturers such as John Deere, Fendt, Massey Ferguson, JCB, Land Rover and many many more, come and join #teamgrassmen, we would love to have you!
I think that is one of you best videos and what an outfit MAR Train is - right at the top of their game with the boss able to recite the reg numbers of their trucks. A level of professionalism, commitment and sheer love of the job that is so rare today. Great work and thank you.
Remember that man as a cub in the lorry with his Da who was a gentleman, but now that is the real stuff, keep that type of video coming, couldn't get better👍👍👍👍
Yeah definitely a gentleman! Amazing work they do 😊 thanks!
What a cool move! Learned something too with the difference between the add-drive and SPMT setups. Do enjoy the diversity of videos you're putting out!
Yeah very interesting, we learnt a lot too
Great to see the inner workings of a good firm like Mar-train.
Was a pleasure making it with them.
Great video, Tim is one of the nicest people I've had the pleasure of meeting. The company is outstanding and exceptional in what it can move. Keep up the great work 👍🏻
Couldn't agree more!
That was a very interesting video ,some investment there on equipment and what an achievement for just over 40 years. Brilliant video Gareth.
Yeah an impressive setup
Cheers for bringing this interview to us! Loved seeing the Mar Train trucks hauling the various parts of wind turbines for the project here in Galway
It's some operation they're running!
Simply the Best 👍
Well done to all involved with this convoy
Really enjoyed that one,some kit ya boys get there, fair play, and respect the boss man leading from the front 👌🏾
Was talking to Tim last week about moving a train, sound lad.
Great interview very interesting listening 👏
Thank you. Gareth loves these types of projects and tries hard to get all the main bits across.
One of the best videos you made, apart from the early days.
Wow, thanks!
Great video, really interesting especially finding out what it take for these super size moves 👍🏻👍🏻
You would think that this is just in no way possible. But there you go amazing stuff here 👍
Yeah amazing to watch and be involved in 😁
Excellent video, great to see the move and enjoyed the interview too 👌👍
Thank you. Loved doing this one.
That’s a great video, very informative and professional.
Tim knows his stuff!
That was a stunning piece of work Gareth. I'll likley be speaking to Colin soon and will have to commend him and Tim for a superb project
Thank you very much.
Ah brilliant video and Mar-train seem a great company seen a lot of there trucks on the road over the years👍
Yes they are
This crew has my respect for such a big load😉👍 very nice job👍😁
Great video👍👍
Brilliant video this and what a insight into a company that we have seen for many years and to get the history behind it also. Remember hearing about this slow moving convoy at the time. We can only imagine the paperwork involved in getting permission for this move let alone the planning for removal of objects in the way and all the amount of personnel needed to safely carry out the task.... No other way to get a ship this size onto Lough Neagh. Totally enjoyed this video Gareth...
Totally agree, an amazing & interesting company! Yeah the paperwork & permissions were crazy and you wouldn't have realised until speaking to the guys how intense it all was. Thankful it all worked out smoothly in the end and everyone in all the teams did a fanstatic job 😁
Great interview 👍
Thanks 😁
