MORE MUSCLE ON THE WAY 🦾 Could Norcar be the answer? 

Exactly. It's a fine balance to get right. On one hand we would love to do it all with no sponsors at all but on the other hand much of what we are doing would simply not be possible without, especially as we currently rely on TRC as our only income while doing the build. 😬

@@TheRestorationCouple Understand. The real aim of the game is to cultivate revenue streams outside of third party platforms like RU-vid. That will give you greater independence, better financial security and deeper connections etc. It's a bit of a hamster wheel RU-vid that semi forces you into compromises. Looking forward to the builds to come.

But watch out they get tippy very quick once the forks are up all the way. The middle hinge bends and there's nothing you can do to stop that, it happens just too quickly.

It's all concrete and yards where it's intended for, it's not to replace the tractor. 👍

@@TheRestorationCouple I realise it’s not a replacement for the tractor 😁 excited to see its capabilities though. I know it’s on loan but you’re beginning to amass rather a nice collection of toys! 🤣

Thankfully this will be at home on concrete most of the time. 👍

@@TheRestorationCouple 👌…perfect ✅✅✅

I wonder could you add dual wheels and increase the wheel base width without making it to difficult to maneuver

Pretty sure it's on a mount. When he stops for fuel it remains in place.

Good spot but fear not Poirot. 👍 Camera is on a mount, just got my hand on it to stop vibrations.

It's illegal to make a video whilst driving even if it's on a mount, you could be reported and be prosecuted, be careful.

Having filmed commercially for productions I’ve never come across that. Certainly for phones and devices but mounted recording equipment as far as I know is not the same. The regs state guidelines around pieces to camera while driving, I.e look at the road!

@@TheRestorationCouple New laws came into force 25th March 2022 regarding the use of mobile phones whilst driving. Not sure about other devices but to me no devices should be used that take your eyes off the road.

There is no expectation or intention to buy it. Blacktrac simply offered it so we can see what it does and also give them real world feedback. I'm guessing when you're a busy dealer then you get little chance to put everything through it's paces yourself so fortunately the were kind enough to use us as their guineapigs! Pretty sure that there won't be budget for any like this until we have a house to live in! 😂. That said, an older larger tractor is something we may look at in the future for out on the fields.

​@@TheRestorationCouple Oh yeah absolutely, and don't take what I said as being critical; given the option to try it I'd absolutely give it a go as well, I mean it can't harm! I grew up on a riding school / livery yard ~50-60 acers, mainly horses but also some sheep, so a pretty similar smallish holding like you have now (even with a small brook and all) so sometimes I can't help but throw my 2 cents in given how similar our needs are/were. Anywho, have since moved away from the yard (though I still have to go back at the weekend to slave labour (mowing fields, fencing, hedge laying, etc, etc)) and have bought a house which I'm doing up DIY style which has been significantly inspired by your channel. So I just want to say, love what you're doing and keep it up!

Yeah there will always be a need for the tractor (or 2) 😂 but around the yards, buildings and construction side of things this is so much more suitable. 👍

@@TheRestorationCouple The American Regen Ag people are saying avoid the tractor! I think they are meaning borrow or contract out etc. Saw a video from a cow guy in Sussex the other day and he had a £3K bill on his, a seized UJ.

Great question... I don't actually know. Just looked and not really listed anywhere online. I'll find out for the next video. 👍

My guess is, if you have to ask you can't afford it 🤣

Pretty sure I am! 😂 The accents change very quickly as you travel around the country so it only takes an hour or two's drive and it can be very different. Same distance the other way and we are in mid Wales for example.
