Tom your skills, work ethic and passion are off the scale. When people tell us farming is bad for the environment they really have know idea just how tough it is to make ends meet and still put food on the table. Keep up the good work.
1:53 Look at that lad taking his roller for a walk, I hope he picks up after it. The civil engineering stuff is great, a lot of us probably wouldn't have found this channel without you digging Colin's driveway.
Hi Tom, in your last vid you were asking/questioning about your content. Personally I think it’s excellent, just keep doing what you’re doing and thanks for taking the time uploading all your content for us to enjoy
Hello Tom, The content of your videos is super interesting. They allow us to see how a farm works, and you explain it in a fun way. Thank you from Canada! 🌲
These daily videos are class, gives brilliant insight into your operation with the addition of the Lamb humour. I’d like to see more about the indestructible Peugeot and how it came about 😂
Tom Lamb, he’s a farmer. And a top notch Civil Engineer!! You are officially now my fave farmering UK you tuber. I’m going to buy a hat and everything!!!
Have to applaud a modern farmer for diversifying into other activities, especially when the food supply chain has to react to the global markets. Civil engineering has a nice crossover match with some of your heavy machinery, so looks like you made a very wise decision :)
Definitely agree about having good kit Tom. And BIG kit. Nothing worse than waiting around for something that's, "Just right for what you do." Nah mate. I want a machine that can get the job done quickly! Don't get me wrong, smaller equipment can be handy at times. But if I've only got one of something, it's going to be a biggun!
Weather update from Newcastle Australia. Rain and cold. Not complaining though. Nice work with the vids Tom. Can’t wait for harvest fascinating stuff. My mother was born in Sutton on sea. Is that anywhere near you?
When I was in Suffolk we used to take care of the graveyard and grounds of the local Church in Kersey as in maintance on the dry stone walls, cutting the grass and keeping the graveyard in order. It's feels good to be a part of where you live and work. I may be moving soon and applying to work on a preserved railway out in Hampshire. As I have said before keep busy and follow you ideas. Lots of farms out there so may see if I can get on one of them. I enjoy your vids as I often think of times past and present. Thanks Tom....
Loved this one Tom, really interesting looking at the other things you get up to and how you've tied in civil contracts to use and improve the equipment inventory for the farm. You've clearly got a good reputation. You asked what do we think of uour skill set - very impressive mate. You've got a good business mindset and a great work ethic. You can add UA-cam to your skills too, you're killing it with these vids. Always interested in seeing more of what you're up to, look forward to the next vid mate 👍
cool, Propper Jack of all trade's aint ya buddy :) I's all good that you have all these other skill's/job's in hand as like you mentioned farming atm is not sustainable on it's own anymore with the rise in costs an all that. So yeah, Shall be looking forward to more vid's :)
Civil engineering as opposed to antisocial construction ???? That job was draining for you, but you were on a roll most of the time lol Great video again Geoff
Well done Tom, been watching your videos for about a year now and I am always impressed. Every video is different and interesting. Quality. All the best.
So how does the o-licensing work? Your farm equipment can be operated on the farm without a O-license but surely when it’s out doing civil work it’s technically an arctic lorry and would require o-license and HGV license. Is that correct? Tia
Diggers and one of the tractor all have to run on white diesel o licence is held by my dad we both have hgv licences and then cpc international so we can run hgvs to the farm in France tractor just does the odd job on the civils within 5mile radius of the yard
Hi folks Hi Tom, that's what I would call Dog and stick farming irons in every fire 🔥 do not put your eggs in one basket 🎉 great way to work good on you Tom 👍 🎉
Hi Tom great video I see your diversifying in going into the plant and civil construction I have got a small contracting business and would you recommend getting somthing like 1.5 tonne digger with different attachments to diversify my work out any help would be appreciated thanks.
Double mesh and what looks to be 250mm slab. Is that for some heavy weights to be stored on top? Deepest I’ve ever poured is 1.3m deep slab with 30-50mm rebar for storing the big paper rolls that are for printing newspapers.
I knew that farmers had to do other jobs to get by but didn't realise that the skills are transferable across into civil engineering, now you mention it, it's obvious due to the knowledge of the machinery etc. So is that a second company that you run or is it just work to help with the beer money?
You’ll have to get some new hats made, with the slogan. Tom Lamb, he’s a farmer, builder, digger driver, tractor driver, farm machinery mechanic, painter, welder, UA-cam presenter, drone pilot, business man, and anything else you can think of.
Why don’t you take all the diggers down to Henry Wards to repair the river bank cos I’m sure you could do it for just under the £5 million quid the EA said it will cost 😊
Good man Tom selling our number too trailer in Ireland 🇮🇪 smith's be number one do braughan trailers second best 👌 do fantastic trailers to unlike them fuckin wheel barrow Richard west or baley grain silage trailer s lol keep with the Irish Ireland 🇮🇪 trailers lad ok that 8s300 be very able for grate video tom as ever from Irish viewer
Tom I know you shouldn't talk to strangers on the internet... Let alone meet them... BUT Please let me have a weeks work experience with you :(. I have ties with Mastenbroek... Wanna come look at their machines...
This was a super interesting video Tom, but generates even more questions. For a kick off, that was quite an area to concrete, and the grade still looked way off. It reminded me of one of Chris Guins(LetsDig18)'s videos when he was talking to his mate Charlie who had made a big investment in a JD 872 Grader with an uber-expensive Trimble GPS system. What he does is ask the client how much concrete they expect to need, and he does a deal where splits the difference with whatever he can save on their estimate. The grader can do close to a few millimetres, including slopes, but he mentioned needing to make US$10K a month just to break even with the bank payments. The site you showed us looked like it was going to eat a whole lot of concrete to achieve minimum thickness, which comes to a lot of money. ua-cam.com/video/y-hWu96c-Os/v-deo.html&t Chris Guins also made a killing screening several years worth of composted sawdust at a wood mill, and selling it as topsoil. He was making over US$1000 a load, and he looked to be loading truck after truck. ua-cam.com/video/857ZcnDymHk/v-deo.html
Tom your skills, work ethic and passion are off the scale. When people tell us farming is bad for the environment they really have know idea just how tough it is to make ends meet and still put food on the table. Keep up the good work.
The people who claim farming is bad for the environment live in concrete skyscrapers and work in dirty cities.

I bought it when I didn’t want my x missis to find out where is was going ……..
@@Tomlamb980😂
You definitely got your fingers in a few pies as they say.... your cleaver and good buinness man very impressive....
Tom "The man of many" Lamb.
Honestly, how you find the time to farm with all these skillsets! Love it!
Tom Lamb, he’s a farmer. And a top notch Civil Engineer!!
You are officially now my fave farmering UK you tuber. I’m going to buy a hat and everything!!!
It’s on my online shop link in my bio on instagram
Always interesting and well presented.
Just when you think you know what Mr Lamb is up to, he surprises you. 10/10 Tom
Thanks

Love your videos There is always something different in them fantastic Tom
Another nice insight into the way you work
Thanks for another great one, Tom! Keep'em coming!
It's good to see other goings on.
love it Tom, I'm the same, tool hire pays for itself on those rainy days
Another great video Tom nobody realise what farmers have to do to keep their farm running properly and very interesting as always and a great watch 👍👍
Definitely agree about having good kit Tom. And BIG kit. Nothing worse than waiting around for something that's, "Just right for what you do."

First class you are a credit to your self really enjoy your videos
Love your videos! Also we need to see more of the grumpy man!
Great video Tom from a Furze subscriber and a new fan of you´re great Channel.
Welcome aboard!
Great video Tom
We all knew you had endless skills - I’m looking forward to more videos of your civil stuff.
Fantastic!
You are amazing Tom! Your skill set is unbelievable, you are a master of 15+ trades!! And you’re a brilliant presenter too!
Wow, thank you!
Tom Lamb - is there anything he can’t do!
Always educational. Thank you for sharing!
Interesting diversification Tom.
Your skill set is awesome 👍can you go run the country and get rid of the muppets who are there 😅
Love the content and I love your humour, keep it coming 👍👍👍
Another great vid from Tom and a good way to enjoy a Monday first class guy 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Cracking video again pal!! Cheers for the content!
Great to watch skilled folk using them big machines!! Good work sir!
Thanks! enjoy the variety on your channel
Weather update from Newcastle Australia. Rain and cold. Not complaining though.
Nice work with the vids Tom. Can’t wait for harvest fascinating stuff. My mother was born in Sutton on sea. Is that anywhere near you?
No we are Stamford Lincolnshire
Hey mate, is the quarry part of your farm? How about a drone tour of your farm? cheers!

Does it sift out the weed seeds 🤔
Lol😊😊😊
Man of mystery 😂 always something new Tom 👌🏻
Top video it’s a pleasure to see someone with plenty of skills
Very interesting Tom. Thanks for sharing 👍🏻
Can’t beat a bit of diversification Tom.
When power-screen built their gear to last, that Screener is still doing a solid job….FairPlay…..👍👌🇮🇲😜
Great video Tom very interesting and informative. I used to work in construction as a groundworker...😎😎😎
Thanks 👍
I’m fairly sure I just watched Tom Lamb. He’s a farmer. Does farm things.
Loving the diversity of these videos, is there no end to your talent! 😂 How about one featuring your new weather station! 😊
Il do it
@@Tomlamb980 good man, I can’t wait 😜
Loving all the different videos
Good stuff Tom😊
Great video like always, it would be nice to see farm tour one day when you get the chance. Cheers
For sure!
Tom Lamb, he's (not just) a farmer 🙂

What else do you like driving ?
Driving flying
How many acres of cereals
Hi folks Hi Tom, that's what I would call Dog and stick farming irons in every fire 🔥 do not put your eggs in one basket 🎉 great way to work good on you Tom 👍 🎉
Another good video. Makes a change from just farming ones.
The soil grader what is the engine??? I'm thinking a Duetz, or more likely by the sound an old air cooled Lister .
Duets
nice to see all the other bits tom, yikes how much does over an acre concrete cost, was bad enough doing a barn floor!
It’s a lot
Hi Tom great video I see your diversifying in going into the plant and civil construction I have got a small contracting business and would you recommend getting somthing like 1.5 tonne digger with different attachments to diversify my work out any help would be appreciated thanks.
I started out with a 1.5t digger and a loan from a bank now I’ve got 7 diggers
12:03 great content again
Yo Tom. How about installing some cameras on your combine and on your silaging rig. Could sit and watch a live stream of that for hours.
I could
@@Tomlamb980 grew up doing the silaging at my uncles farm. 12 years old and doing the carrying. Awesome memories.
Double mesh and what looks to be 250mm slab. Is that for some heavy weights to be stored on top? Deepest I’ve ever poured is 1.3m deep slab with 30-50mm rebar for storing the big paper rolls that are for printing newspapers.
Your right 250 slab and rc45 concrete
I really really could do with that soil screener. How long would it take to drag it to Worcestershire Tom??
A long time ago
super interesting
Can you please start a cooking channel? Call it roasting with Lamb. You have a good UA-cam manner.
Maybe you can explain how long it takes for crops to grow and when to harvest?
It will come in time
I knew that farmers had to do other jobs to get by but didn't realise that the skills are transferable across into civil engineering, now you mention it, it's obvious due to the knowledge of the machinery etc. So is that a second company that you run or is it just work to help with the beer money?
Just beer money and it helps warrant having the decent machinery
You’ll have to get some new hats made, with the slogan.
Tom Lamb, he’s a farmer, builder, digger driver, tractor driver, farm machinery mechanic, painter, welder, UA-cam presenter, drone pilot, business man, and anything else you can think of.
Tom Lamb - he's a builder!
Im not surprised paul is britain's angriest man if hes got to concrete an entire acre with that little mixer 😂
Hahhahha
Should’ve used the loading shovel to feed the screener
If your farm doesn't need you 24/7 and are close to development places there are big money to be made
Just a question, how close to Wardy is your farm?
About 30 mins
Red or White?
When you think it's time to harvest,go on holiday for 2 weeks and start combining when you get back
I’ve heard that many times
Do you and your family own the quarry?
My friend does
👍👍
Diversification is the farmers friend, fingers and thumbs in many a pie eh Tom
Why don’t you take all the diggers down to Henry Wards to repair the river bank cos I’m sure you could do it for just under the £5 million quid the EA said it will cost 😊
Il do it for 4.5 mil
That trailer is Irish made pronounced Proh -Hon.
Many fingers in many pies
Great viewing
Hi Tom
Hi
@@Tomlamb980 love the videos Tom very entertaining and informative. Especially for bits of kit that i dont see that often at where i work 👍
Good man Tom selling our number too trailer in Ireland 🇮🇪 smith's be number one do braughan trailers second best 👌 do fantastic trailers to unlike them fuckin wheel barrow Richard west or baley grain silage trailer s lol keep with the Irish Ireland 🇮🇪 trailers lad ok that 8s300 be very able for grate video tom as ever from Irish viewer
Tom I know you shouldn't talk to strangers on the internet... Let alone meet them... BUT Please let me have a weeks work experience with you :(. I have ties with Mastenbroek... Wanna come look at their machines...
who is david?
The bloke ? He helps us
thought he might be your brother 😁
Diggers 🫡
We all know that screener isn’t for soil it’s tog Tom’s secret gold rush wash plant
Or at least it looks like with water it could
I like this idea
@@Tomlamb980 a British version of gold rush would be funny “and today they can’t mine because there’s a hosepipe ban”
