🎉

Many an hour i spent at that job, often as not on my own, at least you have an hydraulic tipping trailer, the first one i used was a manual wind up screw.

Top of the morn to ya.

I really enjoyed that. There are so many similarities to the way that we cut and harvest turf in Ireland but also there are some interesting differences. I still remember fondly sitting on the top of the trailer of turf with 2 or 3 of my siblings on the way home from the bog, just like in Scotland. The sods of turf seem to be much wider than we cut in Ireland but all in all its just like in Ireland. Its hard work but isn't it interesting that most of us who have harvested turf like this as kids reminisce as if it was a joy. One thing that you don't get from a video is the smells. I notice that there is lots of wild bog cotton in Scotland on the bogs also but the smell of the bog is something that you have to experience first-hand. When I was a child, I hated it, cos it meant hard work. But now I love it, as long as I don't have to stop and foot a bank of turf !

That'll keep your home warm and smelling grand . Everyone in together . Why do I get the feeling there may have been a bottle of something going on ? Great tractor and trailer , and your campfire , I haven't seen the like for years 👍🇬🇧

...Awesome...! Thanks for sharing. ❤

Video was posted 8 years ago.!!! How simple was harvesting fuel to heat the home then. Nothing romantic about it at all. A necessity and a chore .Was the same in Ireland for 1000s of years. That was before The Greens and the weak necked politicians all took away the right to citizens to cut, buy, or harvest turf. The power stations gone. Bord Na Mona gone. Russian gas gone . Electricity supply dodgy. Inflation 8%. Fuel inflation almost 100%. Price almost doubled. 6000 euro increase in politicians salary coming up... Census says that There should be 16 more of them... Did Mr Guillotine patent that chopping machine 200 years ago?

A pity that trees are not being planted to replace the material removed.

Please, did the dried peats stand out in all weathers? Was the stack thatched in the end?

Beautiful! Thank-you!

Love the Duncan cab on the Fergie generally retro fitted !

Brings back awful memories of the moss (we call it that in this part of Ireland). I hated every minute of it. Although I didn't mind the spin home on top of the load.

That's

a serious number of men to fill a butterbox of a trailer

Noice✌

Hi. We have a missing child who was last seen around this area. Believed to be kidnapped. Do you have any footage you could give to the local police? Anything may be valuable.

I thought it would be fragile, but it seems quiet tough

Some one sound a like a New Zealander..How would that load last for?

If they cribbed it right they would have got on half as much more

Very Good,

I've been cutting turf for anout 12 years now up in North County Louth. Last year was dismal! I had it cut by the end of May, but it pished for the rest of the year and managed to get little off the bog. Its a shame as last April and May were blistering and I could have dried it in weeks had I dug a bit earlier

Love it.brings back great memories of my youth in Kildare..

Pretty cool video nice job that it was nice to see a lot of cars that I normally don't ever see. I'm American, Minnesota. So I'm guessing where are you Australian? I know your steering wheels on the wrong side lol.

Miss this xx

Who needs a mini bus when you have a massy Ferguson and a trailer

When I go to Hamelin bay the waves are at least 3 to 4 metres high

Did I hear a Kiwi accent?

Heading up there just after the new year. How do we join the charter?

Can't wait to eat it😋

serious looking trailer

Thanks for sharing, brings back memories of the back breaking work involved in taking the peats home. Looking back it was still fun, when families, & relatives, neighbours helped out, in getting the peats home.

stupid

Is this in west part of Lewis?

Of course the most important thing is to get the kettle going first! Have to have a cuppa between the loads.
