Adrian your ifarm we farm channel and farmer Phil's channel are the best videos on UA-cam.two men from to great counties Longford and Cavan,keep her lit and keep her country.
@@IFarmWeFarm Neither a borrower or lender be but if your neighbour is in trouble you drop all and go and do the job for them has always been my rule💪👍
Well, I’m not a farmer but I really enjoyed seeing the various machines and could pretty much follow what it was all about. The engineering seemed very clever and they had thought of many sensible things that would make the ongoing operation as smooth as possible. Very cool. Props to you for staying with the local option! 😊
Brilliant video Adrian, hopefully the good people at Mastek get a turn after we have all watched that. Seem like a good bunch of lads and run a tight operation 👍
Unreal video. There's so much talk about software tech companies in this country (my industry) but not enough about the world class agri machinery we produce too. Top stuff.
Well wear on the new machine Adrian!!! One thing I would strongly suggest is make sure it’s watery slurry.. have a shoe with four years and I found that thick slurry tends to stay in lines for the whole year u can see it after you cut your silage wear as the watery slurry doesn’t!!
Great video Adrian. It's great to local engineering companies and what they can do. There's so much great machinery made here in ireland that a lot of people Don't know about.
Shared a house in Dublin a good few years ago with lads from Tullyvin, just up the road from Cootehill, decent lads. Congratulations on the new setup Adrian, really nice. Its an investment in your farm and the way you after your gear it will be with you in 20 years.
Great video Adrian, fair to Mastek letting you video in workshop, they gave ya a great run down of their machines, we put a Mastek on Abbey tanker last year, found it a great job.
It’s simply incredible, engineering has really boomed here in the last few years. I’ve met some incredibly gifted people in the last couple of years. Yes hopefully it will reduce of fertiliser used which is always a plus 👍
Ive only recently discovered the Channel Adrian. Have watched all the old videos and look forward to the Sunday video every week. Best of luck with the new addition to the tanker👍
Lovely video, keep up the excellent work. I've heard plenty of good things about Mastek, so I'll be interested to see how you find the dribble bar, though I have no doubt they're a very good make. Take care Adrian.
Pleasure following along on your journey as a small dairy farmer you living in a different part of the world - you constantly improving and upgrading your farm and your buildings - it`s a pleasure watching your INSANELY perfectionistic professional approach in all you do - meant in the best way possible - lol it`s actually surprising to experience life on a small successful farm still being able to make it and thrive with a relatively small heard of dairy cows. Not sure if it`s normal for your part of the world with small farms still thriving - in the US it`s for sure a thing of the past with farms with less than 100+ cows really "making it". If you one day wonder what we want to see - maybe take us around to look at other farms in your area just to get a feel for the reality of big/small farms and how they operate. I honestly thought the days with small family farms surviving were a thing of the past - small dairy farms in the US are getting swallowed up by huge "industrial farms" with 1000-5000+ cows You are providing a great insight and a great historical look for future generations to look back at how farm life was in the 2020`s with a small heard/one man operation. Pleasure, watching you succeed in your many endeavors as you seem to be a good honest upfront man showing seasons/life as it all happens to you in real life 👍👍👍👍 One question since you brought up your neighbors tank - in France many farmers are members of a local organization of farmers who share some equipment they don`t always use or equipment they easily can be flexible with - why are you and your neighbor not sharing a big tank with dribble bars instead of you both invest in tanks with dribble bars - tanks to spread manure are only used few days of the year and can easily be shared between farms - just a thought you can maybe touch on.....
Well run, efficient farms are the way forward, as my dad would say “ don’t go looking for more till your making proper use of what you have” The higher your up the ladder the harder you could fall 😉
Love this video Adrian, very informative. I hear you about borrowing, there’s a sure thing that if you borrow kit you will end up fixing it. Will have to look into this for our abbey.
Great video and really good explanation on all points with you Adrian and the boys from Mastek, and this is a great sales video for them given the amount of UA-cam viewers you have, as usual Adrian very interesting something different, good man
Really interesting video from Mastek, always wondered how they worked,a farmer next to me in kerry have a tractor fitted Mastek reel system, and like yourself they have massey tractors,they range in 7718s,7720s like your 7615 there nice looking tractors.loved today video
Great video Adrian. Lovely to see the process and great to see the progress you’re making. Cavan is a hotbed of innovative companies. The Irish are clever people when left alone😀
Another great video Adrian,great to see how the dribble bar is fitted,they seem to be a great job and it's looking like it's the way we will all be going in the near future with the dribble bar or trailing shoe,well wear and best of luck with it 👍
The Dutch are discovering that 30 years of injecting, trailing shoe and dribble bars have killed their soil because the slurry is in thick bands and anaerobic. Killing microbes and worms. 200 Moscha swivel spouts are on trial. Teagasc refused to test it here without a bribe of 220,000 from the importer. I haven’t bought a trailing shoe yet. I hope the Dutch trials are positive.
Looks the business Adrian, from what I understand of this technology it’s a worthwhile investment to deliver efficiencies across the farm operation. Look forward to seeing it in action… 🚜
Great to see you looking out for local businesses - what goes around comes around. It's certainly an extremely impressive operation at Mastek. 12:35 wondering what's the petrol engine for, is it driving a vacuum pump for priming the system? Great informative video, best of luck with the new machine.
I honestly don’t know lad, but I was thinking it was for the same job. Thanks meant to get Noel to show me around it but he was with another customer. That one was away to Latvia with a umbilical system
Well Adrian I was rewatching one of your videos and the 3 massey tractors ye had the 689t,4270 and the 565 if you could remember what happened to them ? For a bit In a video to mention it if anyone was wondering what happened, if you remember.
Lovely outfit noe Adrian. Interesting to see your review after slurry season is over. Have been told they save alot of time. Which will be a huge plus for u.
Hi Adrian hope all is well with you and your family,once again brilliant Vedio thank you and the guys in mastek for giving us the opportunity to see exactly how they dribble bar is fitted and how it works,looking forward to seeing how it works for you Adrian because we all know that you will give your honest opinion on it which is very important, I am considering getting on for a 1600 gallon hi spec tank so I will ring them for a quote,,,thanks again Adrian well done 👍 👍👍👍👍👍
I hope you find some thick slurry to try it on. Our slurry is usually thick and I am afraid that it will choke up pipes. We have a few years yet before we have to stop using the swash plate.
Thick slurry will always be a problem, it’s important to try an avoid that if possible. Now with our extra storage on the out farm we don’t really have that problem as no water is been removed to make room over the winter
Mastek have some setup Great run tru on the fitting Adrian Hope she goes well for you with the liquid gold and you save quite a bit on the bag stuff well wear 👍
Interesting video. We need to be getting a dribble bar in the next year or so and have heard the Mastec are the ones to go for. Our Arla milk contract is banning the use of splash plates by 2025. Also on the slurry subject, just wondering if you have ever used slurry bugs? Its something that we are thinking about using to get more out of the slurry.
I have yes, i will try them out next year now that I have the dribble bar to see how they work out, I’ll go into as much depth as possible as I know a lot of people are thinking about the same.
I had an almost identical comment so didn't bother to put it up, we have a 6715 too so I will be interested to see how she handles his spreader with the dribble bar , we have a lot higher steeper land and hoped to be able to handle a 3000 gallon tank but are waiting and watching to see how this goes.
Put 800 hours on her since we got it, so she getting about. Spring and summer is where she’s come into play. Next winter she might be on the hedge cutter more as we got a good few extra jobs sent our way
I'm waiting on my hi spec tank with dribble bar for over a yr now.... any chance you would do a video on your thoughts on diesel and fertiliser prices. Or even shed construction prices. Any chance I could msg you privately and get a name of who done your shed Adrian. Thanks
Well ware Adrian.. you won’t regret the mastek..just a note if you don’t have the reducer fitted in the macerater you will need to drive a gear or two higher to get the same spread rate as before
@@seamusoconnell8582 hi seamus.. no we were advised not to fit the reducer as we are contractors..they said it would cause us more hassle than its worth as its the reducer would be getting blocked not the macerator .80% of our work is dribble bar now and I maby had the cover off 3 times last year.
@@donieoregan Ya i was doing about 11k but only 95hp so had to stay on level fields but it was great education before i bought one. i went for major but with mastek macerator major dribble bar as apparently little smaller pipes. i used diet feeder so no issue with long fibres and blockages............................i hope. With 95hp tractor the reducer would suit me. but i'll try it out 1st
Such a simple machine if compared to the slurry injectiors that have to be used here in the Netherlands. Systems like these have been mandatory over here for over 20years at least, but dribling the slurry in between the grass isn't allowed anymore.. it has to be injected into the soil. But still i find these video's interesting to watch :) Cheers from the Netherlands Casper
I was just talking to a guy about that last week, it will come here eventually as well, but I’m not sure how the injection systems will work here with our heavy ground.
@@IFarmWeFarm we are on heavy clay around here. The really blue stuff 😅. We haven't noticed anything in our feed or to the soil when they changed over from dribling (in your video you showed a system with a "shoe" that was used here) to injecting. But if there is too little rain the cuts may open up like cracks. Over there grounds might be more rocky i guess? I never operated an injector myself, but i would not be surprised if every cutting disc is springloaded. If I think of it, I'll make a little clip when they come bring our slurry in a week or 2. I'll send it on insta.
For the sake of 10 minutes I would put half a tank of water threw the dribble bar to clean it out to stop the pipes hardening and blocking saves alot of time as you could spend 2 hours trying to unblock them👍
The macerator is hydraulically driven, so find out how many litres a minute your tractor produces, most tractors 90hp or more wouldn’t have a problem, Mastek will give you a break down on that if you give them a call.
Good luck with your investment Adrian and we'll done for shopping local - it will be interesting to get your opinion at the tail end - would you never think of running sheep on your ground to eat off that surplus grass?
I noticed your link arms are down to the bottom when you’re turning to the links not get caught on the stabilizer for the hitch on tanker what we do is The bars that hold up your link and we put them to the very end and put in a ball
Use plate that is cover, cut out 6 inch hole, thread tanker side, bolt on quick release coupler and u have quick and easy set up. No bother to man of ur skills 😎💪. I did to mine and so much easier than messing wit spanner n trying to lift on n off plate
That is the business Adrian, especially the year that's in it with the price of fertilizer, need to get every ounce of value out of the slurry. I'm waiting on a new NC 1600 gal tank and dribble bar due in May, they use an Alrena macerator very similar to Masteks. Did mastek say anything about the speed of the macerator and the oil flow of the tractor? What was their advice? Thanks.
Did a bit of research and it seems 60L/min is recommended and never exceed 75L/min. For mechanical spools, there usually is an adjustment knob on the spool. For electronic spools, can be done via menu. It is also recommended to reverse macerator every minute while spreading.
Great when you have such a professional outfit right on your doorstep. You seem to have a lot of good manufacturers around where you are which is great for buying local 👍
Yes we’re very lucky to have that for sure, no matter what breaks we never have to go fare to get sorted. An they all are Wally appreciate your business too which always brings you back
Adrian your such a good agri you tuber id say the best love the tanker looks mint hows your calving going? How many left to calf or are they all calved if you dont mind me asking?
Thanks Liam, 16 left to calve, will be chatting about that in the next video. Has been a disappointing calving this year with our fertility problems and to many bull calves unfortunately. All going well otherwise thankfully
No shouldn’t be a problem, the whole dribble bar can be lifted off if needed but our tanks are fairly clean so there doesn’t be any stones on silt build up

I think typically theyll draw 50l running a macerator.
@@TheGreatBritishFarm I'm more interested in flow rate and the recommended rpm of the macerator
Did a bit of research and it seems 60L/min is recommended and never exceed 75L/min. For mechanical spools, there usually is an adjustment knob on the spool. For electronic spools, can be done via menu. It is also recommended to reverse macerator every minute while spreading.
Mastek hyd pump needs 40l/min 👍
I was at the cavan show Tuesday evening I never seen you unfortunately
We meet again I’m sure, I was there from 7pm till about 9pm. Really enjoyed it
Great when you have such a professional outfit right on your doorstep. You seem to have a lot of good manufacturers around where you are which is great for buying local 👍

Adrian your such a good agri you tuber id say the best love the tanker looks mint hows your calving going? How many left to calf or are they all calved if you dont mind me asking?
Thanks Liam, 16 left to calve, will be chatting about that in the next video. Has been a disappointing calving this year with our fertility problems and to many bull calves unfortunately. All going well otherwise thankfully
@@IFarmWeFarm sorry about the bad calving season adrian but look it any day above the clay is a bonos and look it there is always next season
Adrian great video do you think the lollipop in front of the Maserator will be in the way when your cleaning it out ?
No shouldn’t be a problem, the whole dribble bar can be lifted off if needed but our tanks are fairly clean so there doesn’t be any stones on silt build up
