Hi david. You had me sitting on the edge of my seat.you are a hard worker/ 170 bales made.good on you.have a good week ahead and i definitely enjoyed the longer bit of content. Thankyou.
Seeing the old horse hay rake there, brought back some beautiful memories from my childhood sitting on dad’s knee raking the dregs, thank you for the memories David, keep going good man. 🏴
I’ve watched many, many hours of farm videos but never have I seen so much frustration coped with the way you have. Whether the added stress of filming actually kerbs your language I don’t know but thank you for the insight. I’m so glad you have that lovely family to go home to.
Really enjoyed the content in this one. You worked so hard, tiring work but worth it. So hard and stressful when you have to rely on the weather and no control over it 😅
Been there with the 135 sticking in gear, always a bit hit or miss trying to free it..😕😕 BTW David it wouldn't take much to convert Your sheep table into a motorcycle work bench...👍👍
Baling hay at the moment Davie is a real nightmare but I think you should have been through it the day after it was cut when you went to the show, and a borrow of that big tedder would have made a big difference as well, it's a nightmare when you have not got all the kit and have got to rely on contractors but to be fair your man was not to bad for timing, the auld 135 is and was always a great wee work horse, talking about dust I remember being on the sledge when we use to build bales to lift with the buck rake some time you could not see the tractor when you were doing 20 acre and you were a boy you just want it to start raining so you could get off, great days, any way enjoyed sharing your heart ace, good luck to you and all yours
Bulaí fir! The meitheal is still alive. Ragwort gets sweeter when dried. Get another teder & hack them into one four rotor. You might need to bolt together another 135 on the front too... Not many big stone houses back then. Your ancestors must have arrived by boat 😉. Although all our ancestors on an island did!
Had our MF65 (with twin wheels) in the bog yesterday drawn turf off the bog bank and had only 1 run left to do and she stuck in gear, took half hour to get it released. Always happens at the wrong time.
Stunning area between the lakes, I know if my late uncle was making hay in that area he would be making sure he got a couple hours of fishing in. It's the one thing I didn't realise when I was young how good it was getting a few lamb and mutton carcass each year from him along with a couple of salmon he caught, because I was sick of eating lamb/mutton as a kid. But if I was to eat as much lamb/mutton these days I wouldn't be able to afford much else
There's no torture like trying to get hay in middling weather. You be on edge non stop till it's in. Then you chance it too damp and it heats! Went through this pain early July up in Fermanagh.
Great video , thank you Biggest 7 or 8 acres you ever seen 😂 hed know the size of it when charging by the acre 😮😅 (i think it was his own field anyway)
That was a good job done David - Gee's your hay is expensive in your parts, turn that into kiwi dollars NZ$91 a bale - Just watched Kiwi Farmers shorts it's snowing and the ewes are in full swing lambing, so not ideal as we lamb outside as you know - will warm up later in the week - I am in the top of the south island and he is in Canterbury the middle of the south island but not so cold here 12 degree days and 6 overnight - we have rain which is well needed as we have not had a lot - top of the south island mainly do apples, pears, kiwifruit, hops dairy, beef cattle, some sheep but not heaps so to full the water table up will do us the world of good - very warm winter so far some days 16 degrees and 6-8 overnight
Makes a lot of sense. My thinking is bedding is really valuable at present & some years I might get away with very little silage if the winter is mild..
@@sheepschool365 true. Suppose I’m thinking a bit differently because I house from Xmas time right through to lambing time and gives me a good build up of grass for ewes and lambs to go out to. Different situation to yourself. Great videos keep them coming!!
Be Jesus 5/9/24 1 park oh hay to cut if it hasn't rained it's fog and to day a sea har come in will still wate see what the big man up there sends but need to get it done before the clocks go back from north east Scotland 🏴 that was like me with some oh the fields was just needing that extra 1/2 days but never got them so just had to go for it next year hay haylage or silage
If you want to get your hay done less yapping and more work if you worked as hard as you make your mouth go you would get a bit more done in a day mate
Like the positive attitude and sayings like:
1. Happy days
2. Hope for the best
3. Every day is a school day
Grand job David, always a battle against the weather where hay is concerned.
Great video. Thank God you won out in the end. A borrowed horse has hard hooves! Keep up the good work.
Thank you 👍
Ní hé lá na gaoithe lá na na scolb. Maith an fear Robbie !

Weather is always a factor in success or failure. You managed all of the problems well!
Thanks for the extra long vid! Thoroughly enjoyed it! I LOVE seeing that old tractor :D
Glad you enjoyed it! Was a little worried it was too long...

Fair play to you for keeping a cool head. I was stressed out only looking at the fecking video!
Hay always adds to the stress 🤣
Well done David, keep at her! Always tough in catchy weather but recon you’ve just about got away with it 👊🏻👍🏻
Thanks Adam, just about 👌

Thank you so much! Stressful as it was really enjoyed making the video & the hay 👌
You can get grants to do up old buildings would be a lovely house with a thatched roof lovely views too
Good hay video your very lucky to get any made I didn't manage to get the weather for it your 135 is going well 👍
Thanks Paul 👍
The 135 was put through her paces...
Been there with the 135 sticking in gear, always a bit hit or miss trying to free it..😕😕 BTW David it wouldn't take much to convert Your sheep table into a motorcycle work bench...👍👍

Cheers George. Brings back memories of baling hay with my father & wrestling them in the slegde as a young boy🤦♂️
Good times though....
Enjoys.
The easy way to free the stuck gearstick on wee MF’s is to take the pin out at bottom off the gearstick and lift it up / down to free it..
Thanks for the tip 👌
Always worth waiting for. Keep up the good work lad
Much appreciated Paddy 👌
Tip out the roll pin David holding the gear stick in place and give it a little lift until it releases. Fair play with the hay. 👍
Thanks for the tip, must remember to share some day in a video 👌

Well David Kyle I hope you don't get as march hardship and abuse stress for next year's hay 😜😜😜😎
You'll be baling next year 🤠
Had our MF65 (with twin wheels) in the bog yesterday drawn turf off the bog bank and had only 1 run left to do and she stuck in gear, took half hour to get it released. Always happens at the wrong time.
Always when the pressure is on 🤣
Great job there lad
Great video. A new subber here.
Make a type of R clip from a welding rod to keep the haybob pin in.
Welcome along, glad you enjoyed the craic 👌

But if I was to eat as much lamb/mutton these days I wouldn't be able to afford much else
That would be cool! Should have brought the fishing rod 👍
Glad I’m not the only one that gets the gears stuck in a Massey 😅
It's a fault with them & always happens when the pressure is on 🤣
There's no torture like trying to get hay in middling weather. You be on edge non stop till it's in. Then you chance it too damp and it heats! Went through this pain early July up in Fermanagh.
It was the only window for hay all year.. good weather came too early last year too...
Hope everyone can see the difference in the 2 kicker/tedder. Old lely lovely spread out krone leaves it in rows!!!
You're dead right, the krone would easily take an extra day to get it dry enough so the old lely saved the day 💪
@@sheepschool365 she was old but she is beautiful lol
Krone will not row it when she is set correctly. It just takes bit of getting used to.
@@robertedwards2724 no setting in a krone probably 1 of the worst kicker/tedders on the market. That’s the hook tine to spread the grass
Super video👍👍
Thank you 👍
Great video , thank you
Biggest 7 or 8 acres you ever seen 😂 hed know the size of it when charging by the acre 😮😅 (i think it was his own field anyway)
I got a wee laugh out of the 7 or 8 acres too. Closer to 20 🤣
Great video 👍
Thanks 👍
A character I’d say that young lad
😂
A great young lad 👌

Generally not that expensive but supply and demand causing the problem. Weather definitely becoming less predictable..
2:29 Ragwort, can be lethal for horses, etc.
We have 2 135s I've never known them to get stuck in gear.....
Case internationals tho.........
Great video David. Why make hay and not haylage? Slightly easier made and frees up shed space is what I always had in my head.
Makes a lot of sense. My thinking is bedding is really valuable at present & some years I might get away with very little silage if the winter is mild..
@@sheepschool365 true. Suppose I’m thinking a bit differently because I house from Xmas time right through to lambing time and gives me a good build up of grass for ewes and lambs to go out to. Different situation to yourself. Great videos keep them coming!!
Good stuff
Hi David I do fishing myself what is the name of the lake
Not sure but Killykeen & Rann castle is only around the corner
Enjoyed the young lad
He's a great character 👍
Has Robbie injuried his arm. He is a valuable member of the team.
He got hung on a briar.... Take more than that to hold the main man back 😜
Tings always go wrong when pressure is on ya 😂
Always the way 🤣
Well done getting it all done,, up and downs but finished on a high ❤
Be a sad boy if I had to head for wrapper 🫣
Hard to make hay there!!?? Your tender socks tho 😂😂
Tas been a terrible summer here. Tedder well worn but gets the job done 😜
Bales here are 80 to 120 Euros each.
Ragwort is not lethal to sheep only to cattle and horses
Thank you, just learned that but I believe it can sicken them a bit...
Be Jesus 5/9/24 1 park oh hay to cut if it hasn't rained it's fog and to day a sea har come in will still wate see what the big man up there sends but need to get it done before the clocks go back from north east Scotland 🏴

Hopefully your bad days are over with now.
My old international dose the same christ cannot remember fit you do.
now probably come to ma when it happens
take the pin out of the gear stick
Thanks for the tip 👌
Please, brother, I follow you on UA-cam . Please help me find a job contract on a farm. May God bless you.🇲🇦🇫🇮🇲🇦
Sequoia
Thanks for that 👌
You’re praising the tractors before the job. Machines have ears praise them after the job!!
Any tractor with 30,000 plus hours deserves praise even with a fuel issue 🤣
Naughty boy should use gloves with rag wort!
Having said that idont!!
We're not great at looking after ourselves....

Yea you're probably right but wouldn't be as much fun 😜
