Ploughing & Power Harrowing...... Alan Clyde | FarmFLiX 

Yes Paul, by no means is it great ploughing but it got the work done under the circumstances I was in before weather broke

U Dead right Paul I see nothing wrong with what he doing more than a lot more on ere to be honest

Alan Clyde I try to do a lot my own work Aston wait on weather and a contractor no on at what they charged know but I can also see from ruining my own gear they have to chrage

I think there's a lot of boys need to bring their new shiny ploughs and do the work for me to.show me how its done😂

The dream is the perfect yard,stock and machinery...the fun is the torture along the way😉

Alan likes them anyway ;)

I do a second run at an angle. Would you recommend going at an angle across the way in the first pass?

Yes

The skims would have buried the trash a lot nicer but field reseeded before weather broke

Have to work within my means and with what I have😉

Paddypool FC never heard of anyone using paint I would of though using paint would of left the same job as he’s doing now as the boards are not cleaning if you have ever used a new plough with paint on the boards you will pull your hair out lol

AB Crofter . Lol. I remember when I was 6 my grandfather sent me to paint the plough. It was red gloss same as I used to paint the field gates 🤣. We always ploughed two fields. A stubble and a lay. After the first pass those boards where shining. Wee three furrow pulled with a mf 165. I miss those days.

Cheers boss

V.B YT aye , that’s what wee do

Yes yes. Normally do that and park her inside. Boards paper thin and metal done so was sacrificed outside to let other stuff in shed. But yes when new metal is on a drop of grease will be cheap

Spray them with waste oil + diesel (50/50 mix)

Yup, wouldn't be Winning any ploughing competitions, new metal and skims back on for next year😉 but at least she was reseeded before weather broke

That's all it needs just a bit of love and by the looks of the straw still there nothing could bury all that it did the job that's all that matters 👍

Come down to ballywater and do a video

Yes sir. Metal on plough needs all replaced is why it was left out all winter. When new metal on greased boards and parked in shed😉 plenty of maintenance and fixing videos to do around here if I can get the time🙈

@@alanclyde8253 good stuff

Them boards are beyond that at the min. Paper thin . But good to hear tips in how to make her last longer

Yup, weights for the old 8340 won't fit so need to change the weights or the block head on tractor..another job to add to the list🙈

She'll be in the shed after she gets new metal😉

It was different times back.then

Doing less and doing it right i agree with. The silage gear is all paid off and is too big a saving to get contractors in(same time if harvester died I prob wouldn't buy another one) the balance does need to change that I get contractors in when I'm under pressure whether I have my own machinery or not. Flipside if I'd been relying on getting contractor to ploughing year I would have missed the weather to get it reseeded . Will also have to do a fencing video😉

alan giving himself torture makes good viewing ;)

@@alanclyde8253 get the point that ure coming from. the way I would be thinking is getting in contractors to do just silage. you could still keep the plough to do the reseeding end of it but is the stress and hassle of trying to get silage done. (Don't know what silage acreage you are doing) but would it not be more beneficial to get the contractor to do the likes of the silage and still be able to look after the reseeding yourself. not saying u have to get the contractor to do everything. :)

@@deutz3904 I know what you mean,silage is stress and hassle and getting help can be a big issue too. Contractors could end up getting the work at any stage though what savings I can make (120acres plus a year) I set aside the money to try and improve the yard fences and such. Until I'm more financially stable I'll still give myself the torture🙈 but plenty of work keeps me out of mischief😉

See if I need resending done in the spring😉

Jobs a goodn , free labour and no diesel out your tank 😉, see if FarmFLiX will sponsor you by buying the seed 😉

You'd think a man would have weights on🙈

Will try my best

😂😂😂

Maybe a reasonable price but all adds up all new boards points shares etc needed but hopefully get her sorted this year when I get a few more pennies gathered up and definitely need the skims on to bury the trash

Cheers

At some stage

thanks

Wd40 is great. Don't think it fixed paper thin boards though🙈 them drinks aren't good for you🙊

@@alanclyde8253 ders nother better than the odd can of boost 😃

You don’t need one if you don’t stand beside the pto when it’s on

@@orandoherty6249 I think youll find the law states that a PTO guard is a legal requirement and if your cought without one its a serious breach in health and safety

@@orandoherty6249 most peopkle dont stand by thm idle waiting to die but it still happens

@@VBYT7740 so half the farms in the country are breaking the law then lol.

@@DarLav8 your excatly right, all it takes is one health and safety inspection

Aye the plough is causing some debate. Bit of rust on the boards as she needs complete new metal and wasn't worried about her sitting outside. And yes a lot of my machinery is wild rough like you say but then again most of its in better nick than when I bought it as I've always had to buy scrappers and fix them up. And I'd love a tidy yard too but when your holding down a job as Well as running a farm and trying do all the work yourself to save a bit of money to invest in improving the farm structure into a viable business I'm not for starting to tidy the yard at midnight. I never have claimed to be an expert or pretend I do everything right.. simply a foolish man with a love and want of farming trying his best to work and improve what he has to leave something for the next generation🙈

alan just needs few more hours in the day

Maybe safer getting more cows to give me hassle than a wife😂

There is a lot of similarities to women and cows 1 You could spend a lot of time chasing after them 2 They can keep you up late at night 3 They can make you very happy or very not so happy

lol

Completely agree with you. Just a shame my bank manager won't fund it right now😞

@@alanclyde8253 can totally sympathise Alan, it was a painfull expenditure lol

Needs new metal and the skims put back on😉

AB Crofter totally agree, I'm not being funny but this is not a good demonstration on how we manage and run our farms. Doesn't give out a good picture to the public , disappointed in farm flix to be honest

Not meant to be a demonstration he's just doing a job didnt say he was an expert

What does ploughing and power harrowing have to do with giving a demonstration on how a farm is run.

I’m not getting into what way any man/woman should run there farm that’s up to them I’m only saying it was hard to watch as it not the way I’d do the job in my eyes his live stock is very well kept and looked after

All I am trying to say is this goes out on RU-vid for thousands of people to view and I don't believe this is a good way of showing how we farm, im a beef and sheep farmer myself and all I want is positive feedback on us farmers but I don't believe this will give that

Matthew Shaw That’s what you call a lazy farmer and again a contractor costs money.

I probably should but if I had have done I wouldn't have got it reseeded before the weather broke😉

:)

Alan Clyde 👍🏻

Will have the plough right for next year😊

what are we coming down to video?

I know a farmer and does a lot of contracting and he is doing a lot ploughing and seeding

Ransomes are the top dog of the vintage class but you never see a newer or reversable 1 at the matches so KV must be better than them

@@arwelagrimachinery Yes yes

yeah there are a lot of things to count up. though he did get the field reseeded before the weather broke because he could do it himself

There's a lot of pros and cons and I see me using contractors more. But I wouldn't have got my field reseeded before weather broke if I hadn't done it myself. Had contractors in the other day 😉

alastair scruton Another know it all. Who gives a fuck. It will grow grass. You would think by the sound of you clowns he was rendering a wall.

Well it's definitely not winning any ploughing competitions but it got the job done before the weather broke😉

Alastair scruton like to see you run a full time farm aswell as machinery

@@alexsheehan1880 am I not allowed to comment on the video ?

Because deep down he does enjoy it ;)
