Great video made really interesting. Keep up the good work. All I see is livestock so nice to see other sides of farming and diversification

Def my fav one for awhile!

Mike Mitchell's next video has him looking at an Axion TT and a new 2023 Lexion at a show, thought Olly's already done that...

I believe they just got a number of X9s this year. So may in a couple of years though I think he said the Claas dealer was the one farthest away

His mate Lee works for a Claas dealer now, so never know, could get one out to run against one of his X9s.

I ve been watching the sheep game more, which is weird because I don’t like looking at my own sheep!

If you buy a Claas combine and are far from the dealer they send a huge crate of spares you may need so you have them to hand
Once a year they stocktake and work out what’s warranty and not and bill accordingly
Good idea I thought

I really enjoyed the Claas factory videos, and the JCB tour as well, same when Lord Muck @Mucker4890 (Komatsu?) or Grassmen does a visit to a factory. That sort of stuff interests me.
It's pretty obvious it must be hard to keep a farming youtube channel going all year continuously, farming is fairly repetitive and once you've seen one jammed up grain bin you've seen them all.

All the big USA farming ones are doing stuff to try and keep things interesting, Welker Farms building a house, Larsons have something new every other day, Millennial Zac, had his new shed, and he's polishing trucks now, etc.
Must admit I watch too much YouTube, but my favorite channels are not agricultural, far prefer engineering, could watch Cutting Edge Engineeing in Australia all day!!

If your into old school proper machinery repairs/ engine rebuilds etc , I have just found C & C Equipment based in US and he buys a lot of ex MOD equipment / dozers/ graders etc ( a lot are dead) at auction and then rebuilds them to sell on . He is very knowledgeable and does good videos and explains how things work . I m enjoying them at the moment but maybe in 6 months time they will become repetitive .

Meant to say above , if you like machinery / contracting , latest from Grassman, video of Monk and Son in Australia is eye watering scale ( 9 sp foragers, 74 tractors etc etc ). Did a HQ walk around .
Ps 1000 cow dairy unit also as a sideline !!

I’ve watched half of it so far. It’s very good. My daughter was watching too but couldn’t understand what they were saying

What do folks think TomP should have went for instead of the Hurliman? It's a decent enough basic tractor for that job.

There's not much of a choice of 2wd tractors now and there isn't much point putting a JD or Massey on a diet feeder. I'd say their feeder tractor is as good now as most - whether it'll stay that way or not is another thing.

Doesn’t matter what he puts on the feeder they’ll set upon wrecking it from day one,it’s like the stevie wonder driving school…

Not showing off, but I've been.
They took me to agritechnica, we had a great evenings hospitality at agritechnica, when new range of combine launched.

Then went to Harsewinkel next day and saw round combine, spfh and Xerion assembly lines. Xerion one very short.

Think it must have been for our contribution to Claas parts department! We had a 05 lexion 570 at the time. I think you saw it at Richard Parris yard!

We them bought a new holland cr8.80 from Richard.

Gutted never got a Claas calendar this year.

I watched that this morning, hell of a set up with a lot of investment in kit. Seemed like they were mainly Irish lads working for him, I thought I’d give them a call and see if I could get out there but then I remembered I’m old and fairly useless
