FARMER vs DIGGER Real Farming with Alan Clyde | FarmFLiX 

This is the most realistic farming vlog or whatever you want to call it on RU-vid. Every single farmer watching this can relate to it. This is farming folks, it is not easy and we struggle financially, physically and more quietly... mentally.

Looking forward to "the fence posts part 2". I think your dad is wonderful, he's of a tough stuff generation when they made do and mended stuff. Didn't always look pretty but it did the job. I grew up on a farm many years ago and remember everything was held together with orange baler cord (I even remember having to plait lengths of it to make stronger ropes of the stuff, top tip there!!) Great video. Thank you.

At 6 mins 42 secs Alan mentions 'a bit of a wetter SLAP'. I'm farming just outside Ramelton in County Donegal which is a plantation town where Ulster Scots is still used frequently among the farming community. We use the word SLAP here to refer to the entrance into a field while the rest of the Republic seem to use the word GAP. My friends and i have discussed for years was our use of the word SLAP just the result of someone mishearing the word GAP and wrongly using the word for years and it just caught on. After hearing Alan use the word SLAP i now think it probably has an Ulster Scots origin. Anyway i love these videos of Alan and aul Tom and the banter between John and Alan. Great work guys.

Keep going Alan, we love your videos. Farming isn’t handy but at least you,John and aul tam can knock some craic out of it.

Alan, the man who hasn't made a mistake hasn't been born yet lol. At least you didn't fall out with auld Tam lol. ( usually that's what happens lol. Keep up the great work and to blazes with the smart alec's lol.

Alan! You legend! Keep it up love watching your videos

Stress Alan stress. Only stress there was on you're belt buckle trying to pick up that wee pebble lol keep up the good work..

Would love to go for a week n tidy that place

So much for John buying you new tyres for the Merlo...

Couple of hats ordered for the tyre fund 😆

We've always called a gate into a field a 'slap'. Always wondered where the term came from🤔

👍 keep the videos coming.

You can get Get a gate that you can extended and then you can slide it in to make it shorter Steelcraft make them

Sell some scrap to pay for some gates and posts

This is the kinda stuff every part timer faces. Time is a premium in this day and age

Tom looks to be in good form is that a cattle truck up the back was Tom cattle dealer as well

Digging holes is always stressful! funny video though haha and true we all make many mistakes day to day

Check if theres export on the old lorry and throw the 2 chassis on Facebook £100 cash each see if they go, more money than scrap value

It wasn’t his first time on a digger anyway

0:01May get the Mercedes bus drawing grass thing year , or at least use it to block a gap instead of a trailer 😂

You should have bolted the gate to the wall

If this poor man has a farm inspections god help him Alan how about all farm flux subscribers well all come out an help ya clean up 🤠🧐

Any story behind that auld cattle lorry? Looks like it's been sat there a while

Someone tell me what this “redding up” means and how its spelt. I’ve never heard it as much as since I subscribed to farmflix 🤣🤣 from what I gather it means “getting it done” does it?? 🤣 great vid lads 👍🏻

Great video. Hows the tyre fund going??

The sheeps stand on this metal? For sure maybe remove that objects or maybe they get damaged feet no?

If u got rid of all the scrap metal and see what you've got left then you could spend money where it is really needed

Tell auld Tom to leave the track sitting at a right angle when he's getting in and out. He can stand on it getting in and out. Keep blabe down it the direction your digging and she'll not rock about as much. At the same carry on myself at the minute. 👍👍

Great video. What’s the name of the song playing near the start?

What does alan do for work during the day ??

@Alan clyde I will happily come down and clean your farm for you

Well alan

2205 should be in a shed

Your Dad is a hardy man for his age how old is he.

Alan is a very handsome man.

Will get more from the digger if you park it with the blade facing away from you and down taking the pressure off the tracks

Nice we digger 😀

Oh to have a digger to dig holes for posts no that would be luxary glad to see auld Tom is better

Measure twice cut once as the sayin goes

Is that u now on diggers Alan better than them new Holland’s u have lol 😂

Still don’t know why you put yourself threw the stress of having sheep but yano what ever floats your both like

Keep up the good vids u should clean up your yard 😂😂😂

Stil waiting for a reply to my work for free offer 👀🤔😁💪

Why buy a tape measure when you can use the one god gave you!😂😉

More tread on an f1 tire than the merlos 😂😂

Tom is a great man turn his hand to anything it looks like the beanie is irritating the bejasus out of ur head Alan don't think I'll buy one

Why doesn’t Alan Farm full time he’d get more work done if he farmed fulltime

Y not just hang the gate to the wall?? Save a post??🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

No wonder that digger cudnt lift out that rock. Them aul kobota machines are an absolute joke. Completely usless in my opinion.

That man can't drive a digger hi

I think you may stop farming 🙄
