I only watched wolly muck spreading because it was mentioned on here but it made me laugh when he said " they had put this/that field into SFI".....i imagine daddy said to his agent "right, put it into SFI apart from a bit of ground to grow fodder beet on so we've got some cattle grub and it'll give Herbert somewhere to play and make his little videos"

Superseriousfarmer put on a good one today, I don't know anything about sheep, why would you, dam things !! but he works bloody hard and pleased he had a great day at market (y)(y)

I laughed my head off when they disappeared past his trailer and off into the yard. He's normally very polite and laid back but he didn't have time to get his camera and left it filming. The beeps over his language. 🤣

Now that's sheep farming!

YouTube paying the hp on a quadtac! 😮. People round here are all going away from them now back to 300 hp wheeled tractor that are more versatile. 5500 acres here in one block and they found it a nightmare to get anywhere.

I ve not been watching ollyblogs much recently but just watched todays. What will he use the quadtrac for?
I asked him exactly that. He's meant to be zero till, direct drilling and saving the soil. But has bought that heavy thing. Presumably to drag a sumo through the soil.

Will be interesting to see what it's used for. If it's one he went to see a few weeks ago, it doesn't have a PTO. So can't use it to spread fertiliser or go on haybob.

Or go on woodchipper he's bought.

Anyway he's a cleverer lad than me, sure he has a plan for It that will work.
