  • We joined Mar-train on one of the BIGGEST boat moves in Northern Ireland! Donkey gets talking to Tim, the main man at Mar-Train, about everything haulage on the boat move and how Mar-Train went from 3 axel trailers to their newest Goldhofer SPMT with Addrive.

    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.

    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...

    • @Grassmen
      @Grassmen  Рік тому +1

      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 😁
