Do you have fox on your farm

Where is your farm at

Do you happen to know what your front end loader set up is. Thanks fellow 178 owner.

Where is your farm too

I had no idea that sheep wool is a good mulch. Thanks for sharing 👍

Have you ever considered spraying wood chip tea? Dr. David Johnson is a micro biologist, and he studied for decades how to make the best possible compost from wood chips, and how you can use that compost to extract the micro organisms from it with water so that you can spray the land with it and improve the crop yields. And Dr. Johnson and his wife Dr. Su, also a micro biologist, perfected their system over the years, and they monitored and measured the micro organisms, and they noticed improved crop yields after spraying with their wood chip compost extract, or tea. Their composting method requires very little maintenance once it is setup, it is called the Johnson and Su Bio Reactor, and it requires a minimal amount of materials to set it up. It does take about a year to get a usable product. But from the compost from a single wood chip bio reactor you would be able to extract enough compost tea to spray your entire land. If you can't find it here on YT I will be happy to send you some links to the videos where you can see how they make their wood chip compost and how they extract the microbes from the compost after a year of maturing, and they do it at a large enough scale so that you can spray the extract with the tractor. 👍

I hope that you had a nice trip 👍

Great job to get done. There was a time when the sale of crutchings would pay for shearing. Now days it doesn’t cover crutching.

Great video Geoffrey. Do you have to do anything with that stubble or can you plant the next crop into it ? I remember in years past they used to burn the stubble to get rid of it.

Nothing better than Chamberlain. Absolutely pull like a bull.

How do you say…. Grease gun !!!!

Thanks for sharing

Great video mate super helpful

Almost looks like a track to a field bin.

Makes the fordson look space age

Good preventative video. Also I recommend that you coat the tractor in the diesel oil mix to preven any further rust corrosion my lay father often did this with his Country Man 6 to prevent it from rusting aswell. This includes the cab.

looking relaxed Geoffrey. Good to see you back on the farm

Looks like you deal with a lot of salinity their you guys have so it is a good idea for the saltbush that stuff is such a hardy shrub

Hi Geoffrey Priestman of Hull another old engineering firm from England that disappeared like so many other great English manufacturers ☹️

I am really enjoying your holiday. Thank you for including us.

Don't skip the oil. It's imperative!

bravo

Very unique to have that still working. I am amazed by how swiftly it moves around. Thanks for sharing 👍

🙌

Considering I've just started pulling my 306's PTO down only today you've been a great help!

Just started to do my 306 today so glad I found this. Can I change the PTO output seal without pulling the main unit off the diff?

The 725 is running sweet! I had one years ago and it was a great machine. One mistake they made was to put a hydraulic swing out auger on it and not finish it off to self lock and release

Thank Geoffrey for taking us along on your holiday. That was very informative

3:57 Is Lambs, a boy or girl⁉️

3:41 This reminds me of “Little Bo-Peep” & “Mary Had a Little Lamb” from Nursery Rhymes (1983)

3:05 Is Lamb, a boy or girl⁉️

Thank you for this educational video. You are a skillful man 👍

Your sheep are in very good condition Geoffrey

Who's looking after the cows ?

Might have been parked outdoors every winter Paint is fairly oxidised.

Are you still on the East coast? If you are up near the Qld/NSW border we would love to share some local sights. We even have a few vintage tractors of our own that may be of interest.

Very interesting. It is nice that some of the old technology is still well preserved. Here in the Netherlands we still have a few of those old steam water pumps fully operational as well. Those big flywheels are mesmerizing to watch spin around. 👍

Is there anyway to encourage the microbes quicker than what you've been doing?

Why do I have audio only in my Right earphone in the first minute?

finished his book, in my opinion probably what strikes me about your weir is no plants he says that they were the main thing and apart from reids the remaining aussie plants are not up to it became they are all arid in nature suggests planting willows on the weir and creek line until the topsoil can recover. second thing is it doesn’t appear to be wide enough, the idea was that there was no flow at all even in winter as on flat land such as this the rivers were closer to lakes where they had had almost no flow or very slow flow and were wider than they were long almost. by making it much wider but shallow a lot more water is stored than in a narrow deep channel. anyway just my uneducated observations!

Might have to ask the cows to put extra manure just there.

Sterilised the soil.

What chance is there that heavy rain will spread the contaminated soil and make a larger area useless for crops? Thanks for showing.

interesting. thanks again Geoff

Recently Dutch researches came out with a study that says that they found chemical traces from herbi and pesticides used by farmers miles away from where those chemicals were used. And in much larger amounts as they could ever have imagined. They were able to detect the specific chemical compounds from the different chemicals. It is a bit of an issue because here we are rapidly losing many plant and insect and butterfly species. And 18% of the surface from our land is water that is all connected together. And some of those chemicals can have a long lasting devastating effect on aquatic life, but it can also be bad for humans when people swim in that water.

How would the driver know if something went wrong with the implement

In 1960, Barry's first tractor that he drove when he left school was a W9. It always smelt of kerosene and our neighbours wanted to buy it to put a Perkins engine in it because they heard they were that strong in the transmission. Never happened and we kept it for years until he sold it, then I drove a 554 Inter, which was more modern at that time.

Definitely wasn’t expecting a rock that big to be stuck between your tyres, but I suppose it makes sense. At least there’s one rock you didn’t have to pick up out of your paddock.

Wow massive how long did they use them

well this was most definitely a great video to watch ,thanks for sharing as all ways
