Fair play to you for promoting the local business - these small businesses are vital to the health of rural economies. The fact that you are doing it for no personal gain speaks volumes. Much respect.
lukagiltrap77 small family run businesses that provide a good service and are good to there customers will always get a mention on my channel. 👍
I like the way that everything you do is always to a good standard. It's only a simple fence but you did a great job.
Richard L Cheers lad 👍
Are you installing you egg insulator correctly? I always tie it so it's in compression not under tension , over time it will snap as plastic won't take the strain,
@@user-qj2ge5hz4d Now you mention it, I think your right, I hadn't noticed till you said.
Having said that, if Adrian always does it this way and has had no problems, then it's probably ok.
One disadvantage of installing the insulator in compression is that if it fails then the live wire shorts to the anchor wire.
Aok aok I didn’t notice that until you mentioned it. Those end insulators are definitely designed to be used under compression. There are other things that I would have done differently but like he said every one to their own
KiwiFarmer Pete there’s loads of different types of egg insulators, these one I use couldn’t be broken, there extremely tough and I have them on 200 yard lengths at high tension for over 10 years in places with never a fail.
Now there is plastic versions that are really rubbish and spilt easily, there’s also ceramic ones that are normally grey in colour, there quite good but can crack under high tension.
7:54 HILARIOUS. The cows walking up the fence. "Did you not here us calling ye?"
I purchased a bunch of 30w solar panels with controllers and I connected them to the car batteries. Throughout the farm where I can’t use the Mains fencer, I have a car battery fencer (1.2joules) with the solar panel connected and the battery never runs dead. They stay there 12-months of the year. I spray weed killer around the fencer and panel once a year and that’s that. Never need to take a battery home to charge. Need 30w or higher panels for Irish weather. Great investment.
Also we use the screw-in black insulators for the posts. Easier if you need to take wire down and I noticed when it rained, water would cause damp inside the rubber tubes you use and sometimes shorten the fence with the post/staple softening the shock of the fence. Tidy job Adrian.
👍👍👍
Fair tidy job done there. Great video as usually. Just here rewatching it now again.😀
What I do is put a fence gate handle at one end of underground cable. This can then turn on/off the fence to different sections. Would also then staple this end near the top of stake and close to the wire. This makes it easier to find the handle to connect/disconnect.
What we would use is we would use our mini digger, you need two people but its cheap and cheerful and it's fine for the bit of wiring we do. Plus weve a bar we can pit on one of our transfer boxes which we pit on one of our little masseys and all we do is pull out the wire, stable the first bit on and drive slowly to pull it all out, really easy and we can leave all the equipment in the box ready to use
Old man Gilmore was brilliant at the fencers, people from all over went to him.
Tomherbs he was, son is even better
I really enjoy your channel. It’s interesting to see the way things are done over there. There’s always more than one way to accomplish a goal. I’ve learned a lot from you. Thanks for taking the time.
Mr Nate glad you can take something that we’ve shown and it’s been useful for you, that’s what it’s all about. Thanks lad 👍
Hello from Yorkton, Saskatchewan, Canada. Thanks for sharing your great video’s please keep them coming.
Hello from Colorado u.s.a.. just wanna say those post punchers sure are amazing time and labor savers. i love your farm the land is just awsome with the rolling hills i grew up farming grain , and still have alot of learnin bout dairy farmin such as the fencing, the different types of palours and T.M.R. etc. Around the world if you could do an updated vid on the milking parlor it was real windy n loud in the frst. Take it easy ,dont work too hard, and great job with the channle its one of my top 5 faves..
Roger N. Yes Roger the post drivers are great, yes we will be doing loads more milking video’s in time for sure. Hope ya’s are all safe and well in Colorado 👍
@@IFarmWeFarm my family is doin good, its kinda scary, but we live in the country on a farm luckly, but one of my aunts did get covid but is doin fine.
I made a video of us making new fences at home with electric wire running through two fences and under four gates. Ours is a mains Gallagher fence so we added two isolator switches for fences meaning we dont have to run the half kilometer back to the yard to save the shock. Great fence all the same!
Great video Adrian. Mains fencer is the only job, but for battery fencers a caravan battery will work better than a car battery. The high tensile wire is a great job.
Fine job .good idea using the vice grip top videos as always 👍. Nice to see tidy job
Vice grips good job ,, no sweat lost beating them post in ,the farmer now aday 😳they be a cure in the sweat lol 👍
I have a post driver very similar to that, brilliant job altogether, youd get 30 posts driven in an hour easily if you are decent with positioning the post driver and posts
Handy to have two lads when driving posts, no in and out of traoctor
Tidy job. For the gap at the gate, run your insulated cable through the pipe, put a gap handle on the other end so you can unhook it and that’s the other side off. That’s why I do. Handy to be able to turn it off in different areas when moving strip wires.
I would recommend the Gallagher bungees over the spring handles they come with mounts and don’t lose there elasticity where as the springs expand and break after time
Started using the clipex stakes last few years fed up of stakes cracking and rotting the mains fence be better job no worry about battery being dead
Nothing a vice grips can't do! Love the videos, keep up the good work. Cheers
Always hang the handpiece onto the live wire so when you take it off to break a gap you haven't current in the handpiece and have it earthing when it's on the ground that'll weaken the current
Pro trick : you can watch movies on flixzone. Me and my gf have been using it for watching a lot of movies lately.
@Yael Jacob yea, have been using Flixzone} for years myself =)
Thank you, again. I learned so much about tying off an electric fence. It is amazing that the cattle respect the one strand of electric. Horses don't. I was wondering how you were going to mow the area between the electric and the hedge. If we do not keep that area knocked down here in Florida, it shorts out the fence.
Looks like a great job 👍 to me, in my time I done miles of stock fencing top with single strand mains electronic,
wow nice machine
glad to see you left enough room for the hedge cutter , just incase its a novice opperator
Good video Adrian can you do a video on how to operate the 6470 please
Good job you can get vicegrips with wire cutters in the jaws which are very handy for fencing
Rory Price are they vise grips? Never seen them
Well done grate to see you working you are always very tasty in all aspects of your farm grate to see you keeping the farm so well looked after 👍
Seamus MURPHY cheers lad 👍
Post drivers hard to beat this good spell been great to get some field work done again.
Culkeeny Charolais it’s great to be out in the fields when the weathers good
You could put black electric insulated flex under the gap and just have a handle to hook it on to the wire as you need it
Lovely bit of tidy work!
Make sure you put the spring on the other way to what you said, then as soon as it’s unhooked the spring and all is dead, saves getting a shock and if it hangs on the floor it won’t short out the section you want to stay powered.
Yes I meant to explain it that way 👍
IFarm WeFarm don’t want you getting a shock and blowing up your camera!!
Great fence ours the bryers are growing out through it so hedge cutter pa93 moconnel and then we'll put down a good fence for next year
There are two types of battery charger now: the old , heavy, iron core transformer type and the new light, smaller, electronic pulse charger. I know the new pulse charger will charge faster and recover most " failed" batteries.
They work by pulsing a high voltage spikes to the battery because of this I am not sure if the amperage held is compromised. The electronic chargers do work well and ,in the main, will recover scrap yard batteries providing they are not broken or plates bent as the desulphurise the plates, I just thought I would pass that on .
Really good job👌
13.6K subscribers im happy for you . great vids
anthony duvall cheers lad
Have you looked at solar panels for the battery fencer.
We find that they extend the runtime of the battery almost to the point that you dont need to change the battery
Good video once again just wondering how far apart do you space your stakes
Great video as always that was a great tip for fencing
Tidy job, verdict is out on those bit of pipe insulators may be cheap but a headache in years to come lol
DarLav I use the screw in type as well but these last longer when it’s high tense
Good videos loving the content
Awsome video stay safe 🏴🏴🇬🇧🇬🇧👍👍🚜🚜😷
Sandy Mcghee cheers lad, you too 👌👍
Great vid adrian 👍
Great vid keep up the gud work 👍
Who won the competition on the silage video
James Duffy yip that will be covered on this live feed when I get around to doing it 🤦♂️I know I’m a disaster 😩
i had a bad shock from an electric fence yesterday lol. woke me up for milking very good
First name Last name two worse spots to get shocked are on the head and well......you know 🥜
@@IFarmWeFarm throw one leg over, then a little hop with the other only way to do it 😂
Good 🔨🚜
Thanks 🌞🌞
Where you buy you stakes , they look good , not like the green ones they don’t last .
try mmw moyo metel works for a front bale lifter we have one great yoke
If you put a bord under the battery it lasts longer
John Well yes that’s a good point 👌
Where can you get that tightening tool for the wire it looks a serious job?
Jamie Mcgurl any good Co.opp or agri store should have them lad
Nothing shabby about your fencing, I find fencing a very relaxing job. What make is your post driver? I know you talked about it in a previous video. Looks like a good one, I don’t have one currently. Digital fencer tester is a great gadget.
Martin O Neill it’s a Malone Driver, great heavy made machine
good vid. ,are batterys exposed not dangerous for cattle?
Batteries can be dangerous to cattle, but the fencer and battery are never within cattle’s reach.
@@IFarmWeFarm gonna remove my comment to not mislead people
👍👍
So close to first
The Blue Knight next time lad 😉
By god i got a shock of a fence carring it across a field ill never live it down
Would you ever plan on getting solar fences
Jack Carthy no couldn’t see any fencer beat these ones
What is your cost of production per litre. You always seem to be buying "stuff"
I can Co e do mine any time Adarin👍 where u get the wire puller?
Sheehy Agri any good co.opp or agri supplier should have them lad
What the name on them never see them befoe
20:30 u could just use a cut off clip
What happens if it rains on the battery
It gets wet, 😜
Could you come do mine. I’m beside bawn co Monaghan
if it works for you thats all that matters
What county are u from
Rory O'Brien Cavan
I believe he is in the Republic of Ireland also called Southern Ireland
I'd love 2 take u fora days fencing ud b tidy fiew we tings alws take ur wire trew the opset side or egg insulator it stronger
What is that wire puller called
Daire Slevin I’ll look later at milking in and let you know lad
A gripple puller
Where do ye put your bale wrap when done with it
Seamus Dunleavy we bring it to a collection point and it’s recycled
IFarm WeFarm ya bit after feeding where do ye stir it
Where did u get the tensioners
Cd 7 Gaming any good Co.opp or agri suppliers would have them lad, easy got
fencing is alright until you have to keep lambs in a field next to a road, then the calls at the most inconvenient times telling you the lambs are out begin
Where did u get ur posts
John Barry any good co.opp would have them posts for sure
Look up strainrite on you tube u see few knots make it handier for ye
FIAT 110-90 TURBO New Holland I do watch a lot a fencing videos but keep forgetting the knot in the field 🤦♂️
@@IFarmWeFarm I know we use them every day and when ya stand wrong side post get I wrong 2 haha but job is sweet when ya get them right ...
Single wire fence you don't need any stays
