    Farmers earn more from YouTube than their crops

    Andy Hourigan's new artic John Deere is a proper monster. I was wondering why he bought another one when the other newer one he has gave so much engine trouble but it has a Liebherr engine so is confident it won't be a repeat. God bless his herd of cows, that workshop is flat out all the time.

    Farmers earn more from YouTube than their crops

    Big plans by the 10th Generation Dairyman to transform how they feed their cows. Lely Vector going in as well as building three huge upright silos to hold all the forage. Vector is one thing but the silos at the same time is a big undertaking for a small farm by US standards. Being one of...

    Andy Hourigan has done well with them bikes. Has at least three of them now. He seems to genuinely like them to be fair.

    The origin of the nickname “ Sexy Fingers” is brilliant. 😂

    It reminds me of Trent Bridge.

    New Holland 644 vs Claas Rollant 46/250 vs Welger RP202/ RP235

    Made maybe 2k bales with a Claas 255 and it netted everyone of them flawlessly. It was a pleasure to use in that regard. Couldn’t keep bearings in the damn thing however and finally one took it in a fire. It hadn’t been used for a number of years and maybe that was a factor. Wouldn’t have one...

    JCB 3C mk3 or MF 50B

    Miss our old 50b. Forward/reverse pedals right foot, brake left foot, three lever front loader left hand, steer with your right hand. Very nice to use. Unloaded and stacked 1000s of bales with one and fed them again in the winter. Didn’t use the back actor much. Steering lets them down but fine...

    He makes the pickup crop rollers as well. https://www.donedeal.ie/view/31139785

    The cows caused the stir, but Ireland’s carbon plans are even more extreme.

    They’ve given Greta the freedom of the city of Dublin along with a few more eco fruits. It’s a cult. If you thought a global pandemic and a major war in Europe was going to stall this crap, you were sorely wrong. Full steam ahead regardless of everything.

    Any pointers please MF6180

    That stopped working on my 6190 as well so ran a fused socket from the battery. There are two big plugs on the right hand side of the baler, they sometimes can come loose. Have you opened the four pin plug from the monitor to the baler? I did away with the plug and join the four wires with...

    Donald Trump - views

    Incredible. Move straight past the Durham Report post to fantasising about all the evils Trump would have done. Don’t admit you were completely played for fools whatever happens.

    Gary Arrogant Lineker!

    Making comparisons to 1930s Germany and the nazis is the go to tactic of idiots. It ought be a sackable offence. It’s lazy and trivialises what happened. It’s a bit rich to now expect conservatives to come to his defence. Countless times the likes of him said there are consequences to your...

    I think that’s the farm where his son lives. Seems crazy to have to keep building slurry storage quite when the alternative is spreading on snow and frozen ground. Should be grateful for the huge investment, guessing it might be more vegan than environmentally motivated.
