Sorry video is a little later this morning, we still have no water so it's keeping me out for longer as you can well imagine. Our Hoof man's name is Luke Reilly so if you ask about I'm sure pretty people will know him. Also a heads up that we are running a pretty awesome prize giving away in January to raise money for charity so keep an eye out for that soon. Thanks Adrian..
Same in Cork
Happy Christmas
Hey Adrian. I was trying to look at the temp gauge on your 5460. I have a 5480 myself and the temp rarely rises out of blue. They seem to run very cold apart from agitating or mowing or the like. The heater wasn't much use in the cab the last week. I'm just a bit concerned that my thermostat could be stuck open...
@@ianmcauliffe7961and you Ian 👍
@@farmer4230a in this weather they do run cold for a good while, mine doesn’t rise above the blue unless I’m topping or something like that. I wouldn’t be to concerned lad, you could feel the pipe on both ends to see if it’s closed.
Adrian, you really are a breath of fresh air. You are always positive and when things go wrong, you treat it as a small inconvenience, deal with it and then carry on enjoying life. So many people nowadays are brainwashed by the media into thinking the world is about to end, they forget to enjoy life. Keep up the good work - you’re doing a great job showing that effort is all that’s needed to lead a rewarding life!
Thank you 👌
Some boy is Adrian alright - a craftsman and a technician, nurtured and natured. Balance - his type, never be richest but ever the wealthiest.
Those cows are beautiful ❤ that was amazing to me that cattle had their feet done , as a Townie you don’t think about that kind of thing ,bless her having her foot lovingly tended to it just shows how much more there is to farming than the eye sees 🙏🏻
Feckin wifi... computer crashed mid comment. Anyway, the body warmer merch I received is keeping me warm here in Boston.
My American clients are always asking what is (Ifarmwefarm). Takes a while to explain but worth the time.
Stay safe all at home and have a great xmas.
Thanks so much for the support Brian, really appreciate it. Have a great Christmas 👍
Put space heaters in the areas that has the water outlets that way it would keep the area warm enough from freezing
Congrats on 80k no one deserves it more than u the amount of work and effort you put into ur videos and a merry Christmas to u and ur family
Thank Morgan, really appreciate that mate
The joar frost on the the trees is so beautiful.
Air freshener in the tractor 🚜 I think I may have seen it all now! ☺️
What a beautiful scene with all the frost. Just gorgeous.
So respected for your many abilities and concern for you animals, grounds with sound intelligence….‼️
You can also use tractor bucket as a makeshift water trough too. Saves carrying water by hand
Try feeding calves in the troughs in the evening at the edge of dark. Crows tend to clock off before dark.
Good on Luke. People such as Luke who come when needed are priceless. No matter how slow, please let us know her progress. Stay WARM. Thank you for sharing.🐄
I love the Massey with the frontloader. You can do so many jobs with that.
Thanks for the update on the eye. There is never a same day in farming
If you were to put three or four red heat lights in your parlour and close all doors that should keep all the cold out ..... good video as always 👍
A lot of frustration with the cold and milking and water supply issues. However great winter scenery and the Massey red looks outstanding against the frost. Thanks for taking the time out to record Adrian.
The cold in Ireland is very different to the cold in other countries though, due mostly to the dampness in the air. I've been in Canada, and Sweden, when it was -20 to -25 and i can tell you -10 in Ireland was worse.
I heard that said but didn’t know if it was true or not, I don’t feel so bad for complaining now 🤣🥶
👀🙄🐾👍 Cows look well use a space heater in your milking parlour
I spent Christmas 2008 in Ireland with My Mother.
She (We) went home to Ireland in November 2008 and she passed 7 May 2009.
My last previous Christmas in Ireland had been 1966, prior to Us moving to Australia.
Absolutely Magnificent to see the -1°C and below temperatures.
You can have no idea how envious I am of your Ice and Frost.
I can understand that perfectly, Australia would be a big adjustment and the climate would be quite different I’d imagine
What a beautiful frosty countryside! Sorry about the water. I'm sure it doesn't happen open, but when it does, it's a big problem. 😞
You make an OCD person look like a slacker. 😌😌😌you are a quality guy.
It's starting to look a lot like Christmas 🎄
Merry Christmas to you and the family Adrian
Hope you're cow gets better soon
Glad to see eye cow is better hope foot cow recovers soon. Like your positive attitude Adrian
Well done keep it going
A Adrian brilliant video again and sure a colourful moment is part and parcel of us all 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
The looks of your farm with ice all over it is beautiful. Feel sorry for that cow. I hope whatever happens it doesn't hurt. Merry Christmas to you Sir. And your whole family
Thanks Jim, same to you and yours mate
Two Words.. Trace Heating .. for your pipes in the Dairy. Love the video.
Man your subs have been on fire the last week! Congrats! How about a family picture for Christmas with all the girls.
Great video. Best thing to thaw the parlour is fill it with cows Adrian then go back to bed for a couple of hours
Greatt stuff Adrian. Lovely once you defrosted things to have dry sunny cold days with no wind and rain. Make the most of them.
You’re right that is not Arctic cold. In western Canada this week it’s -27 as a high today. That hoar frost makes the landscape magical.
As always Adrian your a tonic ,your care and passion to that farm and animals second to none,so as it so close ,I'd like to wish you and all your family very happy and peaceful Christmas Adrian, laterssss Oliver
Thanks Oliver, same to you and yours mate 👍
I discovered this site this year. What a glorious find !!! Many thanks for some great moments. and A VERY MERRY AND HAPPY CHRISTMAS AND A GLORIOUS NEW YEAR.
And to you and your 👍
@@IFarmWeFarm My name is Al Donaldson....... Have a great time
Hello Adrian.u won't be cold for the winter with all the timber.keeps u warm and the family.oh the used oil is a great job for the roller.i get it from my mechanic.he just delighted to get rid of it.plus a few more people get if from the local mechanics.cows hoof looks sore but time is a healer.thank god the pipes are thawed out.take care and wishing u and ur family a happy Christmas and health and happiness for 2023.also happy Christmas to ur parents as well.
Thanks for another cracking video,the last 7-12 days were hard on man and beast for sure,we had rain on friday evening and saturday morning on the frost,leaving the untreated back roads like an ice rink,roads were lethal after the rain,Happy christmas to you Adrian and all the family and here s to a successful 2023, Pearse😉
It Christmas time Adrian hope you @ all the family have a weekend 👍👍
Good one sir.. we seem to be at the defrost moment now and looking like it might ba a fast one... more problems will no doubt pop up or bubble up 😉🫣. Hope your water gets flowing soon. Stay safe 🏴
Handy to get the logs gathered, on the other hand you had the yard problems. Pros and cons with all weather's.
great video, colourful too, we all loved it
I feel your pain RE: frozen parlour, we used to have to deal with the same issue when we were farming, trying to get all the seals to seal so you can build up the vacuum, going round with hot water in a bucket with a jug...a nightmare at 5am.
I was on kettles of water, a watched kettle takes a long time to boil 🙈
Sorry to see the injury on the cows hoof that happened a bullock of ours and we kept him off the slats after that ,he did fine and thrived well after
Very unique socket there. Do what works. True farming approach Love watching your videos.
Yea the good weather is a nightmare for water and milking machines. I put in infa red lamp in the parlour over the jars and that helped a bit. Another idea for the water is a used a IBC with a hose on my bale spike and used it for filling drinkers.
I call them words working words😂😂
at 4:09 when you were taking the plugs of the roller top tip before you put them back in run a bit of greese around them so that the next time you need to take them out its a lot easier top tip for everyone else
Great video as always. Best of luck with the weather. Hopefully we will have a white Christmas
Its a pain in the rear when the water freezes up but it has been a real cold snap, its been colder many a time but not for a few years so we are taking it bad, at least you got the sticks done, its an ill wind that blows no got, I bet you would rather the dairy was working better, Hay Ho, enjoyed the video as us Adrian
Enjoyed the farm version of Tetras Adrian with the loading of logs onto the trailer. Stay safe, stay well fella ❄️🧣🚜
Lucky you! We have already deep much snow in combination with strong winds, the snow comes down almost horizontally, temperatures have been between -2 down to -20 Celcius. Most of the time it's best to stay indoors, buckle down under a wool blanket and fill up the fireplace with firewood regularly. ;)
And the poor cow, it's really painful to see sick animals or animals that are hurting. Despairing to watch. I don't know how many times I shared tears in my childhood in frustration and sorrow because I felt unable to help them.
Proper grafter, Adrian
Hi Adrian, a space heater on a simple plug in time clock and have it for parlour it's idea that may work.
Thay are handy to have in work shop the ould lad would love it😎
Congrats on reaching 80k subscribers on your channel well done 👍👍👍👍
Thank you Michael 👍
Looks 🥶🥶 Adrian still enjoy your UA-cam channel from sunny Cyprus 🌞😎🍻🍻
Great land
80,000 Adrian ...whooo hooo!!! congrats!
Cheers mate, ya it’s mad!
Maybe a jet heater would help in the milking Parler and milkhouse.
I have used jet heaters and they sure come in handy for a quick warm up.
A fella showed me a way to thaw a metal pipe and hydrant coming out of the ground by attaching a battery charge to it. However once the water starts to thaw unplug the charger and take the charger leads off of the pipe.
Just 2 things I learned from living in Minnesota.
And always plan to winterize in July. Minnesota is the land of 2 seasons. It almost winter and it's winter.
I have one but need to seal the doors up better as to much heat escapes, I’d be afraid to leave them running unattended. That’s an interesting one with the charger! Never heard on that before, unfortunately all our pipes are plastic here in Ireland 👍
difficult conditions the last couple of weeks for us all in farming. hope you and your family adrian have a happy christmas. and thank you for all your great videos troughtout the year. you are a great inspiration to many people. thank you.
Thank you, have a great Christmas 👍
Congrats on 80k Adrian fantastic achievement 💪🏻
Thanks Tom
Beautiful country merry Christmas and a happy From my family to yours
Same to yours 👍
Well adrian i know the cold spell is over for now but if you getband infra red light and leave it on overnight hanging above the machine you will be ok that is what i do and i never have a problem 👍
thank you Luke, am a hoof repair fan. nice plus for this video. nice bird tip too. seem to recall you have to pay for water so cleaning is an expensive bother.
Great video as usual.Real simple cheap fix for the water buy heat trace cable put it on the last tap you mentioned it wont freeze .
What’s is that fergus?
You just tie wrap to pipes .Dont put where cattle can reach its 220v if last drinker is in with cattle just continue pipe to somwhere else and put tape on
I can't post link to it youtube keeps taking it down
@@fergusflanagan8017 I will look up the internet for more info on that, thanks Fergus 👍
Great video Adrian and congratulations on reaching 80k and Merry Christmas to you and your family.
What about a space heater in your parlour Adrian?great videos as always
Bet you were glad of the new mats in the parlour this week, I sure as hell was , feet were not cold at all for a change.
There brilliantly! Worth every penny
If you have access to it burnt engine oil/waste oil is a great job for filling land rollers. No problems with freezing or rusting from the inside. :)
That would be a great idea, just have to see where I could get that much waste oil 👍
@@IFarmWeFarm Ask your local mechanic
It’s like a winter wonderland there Adrian. Great video as always, happy Christmas to u and the family from the flying fergy family.😁👍
Great video Adrian...we all have them crap days/weeks...sometimes the more you try to plan something...the worse it gets🙈
Our water only came back today in the yard.
Would not have wrapped the hoof to keep it clean and applied some powder to help it heal.
Ya I was kinda thinking the same but was told not to, let the air at it and bath in salt and water every day which I’m still at. It’s healing well but will take a while to harden over I guess.
Feel your pain spent a hour thawing the parlour 1 day this week didn’t leave any water in it to freeze again! But the wash through is painful can’t find enough places to get the water out of the lines!
Only a suggestion. But fill the rollers with waste oil. It won't rust like water will.
Adrian we filled our roller with burned oil , great job .
Great video Adrian well done on 80 k
Get a space heater it will thaw out the parlour in no time just turn it on when you first go out and by the time you have cows in it will be nice and warm.
I have one but it took forever to thaw out the parlour, I probably need a larger one I’d say
Thanks for another great video and for doing them all though out the year. Hope you and your family have a good Christmas and a happy new year. Cheers
Adrian I been puttin Anti-Freeze that has inhibitor in it to stop corrosion for years and never any bother, does the job the finest
Nice one lad . Bit of a thaw on now thankfully 🙏🏻
Would a diesel blow heater or Infrared heaters on a timer, help in the parlour? This might only be the start of the winter weather! They might be able to defrost the water pipes too.
I should probably read the other comments first 😉
I have a large diesel space heater but would be afraid to put it on a timer just in case something would go wrong. If my doors were sealed up better it would definitely thaw things out
Thank you so much for these videos. I miss Ireland. My thumbnail pic is just east of the Burren.
👍👍😁 I hope that cow’s hoof heals quickly. Looks like you could have a lot of firewood. Merry Christmas to your family. ❤️🌲🎁🎅
I don’t know where you get the time for filming, not to mind editing!☘️👍
Hi adrian. Try a mini staywarm heater. Leave it running at night. Small and cheap to run and gives out a surprising amount of heat for its size
Hey Adrian I find spraying jeyes fluid in their eye clears it up cheap and effective and doesn't hurt the animal
Happy Christmas I Farm we farm
great video Adrian it's good to see it's animal welfare is top priority
Nice one Adrian, its been awhile since i seen a frost like that, i remember getting kettles of boiling water to pour over pipes to try and get water for cows, you don't get that kind of heavy frost here in the states, or not where we are anyway!
Hello. Footage of Hoof Man, 'Luke Reilly', surely you meant hoofage! ah! I crack me up!! Great industry as ever. Best wishes for a peaceful, happy Christmas. Thank you for sharing. P.S. I have a buddy living in Boston, 20+ years. He always says minus 5 in Ireland is much worse than minus 20 in USA because we have damp cold whereas they have dry cold. The high humidity in Ireland makes the situation worse.
Hey Adrian Lovin the new ‘Voodoo Chile’ music on the videos. ‘Who Knows’ but I’m sure Jemi Hendrix would have loved the’ Purple Haze’ frozen scenery on channel!……. ( big thank you google for the Jimi Hendrix music titles) 😀👍
Every roller should be filled with waste oil it's not hard to get and keeps the roller in good condition
Have to see where I can get that amount of waste oil, would be a great idea in fairness
Great video Adrian it’s cold looking there alright it’s summer time here in Oz just to let you know 😜🤣🤣👌
Get those logs milled for your new shed, any sawmills closeby worth asking for a quote
A great year of videos - Loved them all. Merry Christmas to you & your family.
Thanks lad, have a great Christmas
Happy Christmas to you and your beautiful family Adrian 👪
It's great weather it is just our farmers like to complain lol 😆
Ah we do a bit in fairness 🤣🙈
Great videos thanks for up loads mate and merry Christmas to you and your family.
Turn trough over after each use, it will prevent birds etc from getting into it.
Great video as always be an idea to put used oil in roller won’t freeze and won’t rust roller 👍💪💪
