We use those gravel bags along with recycled rubber pads on the top, then heavy tyres on the edges. Bags are great until the zipties have seen some sun and give way, usually right as you pick them up!
Don't know if ours are UV-resistant zip ties or not but after 8 years some start to break and they are model larger 10 millimeters wide
U can also just use baletwine or some other string that is strong enough instead of zipties
Yeah agree
Yep, they get weak from sun and crack when moving. Better fill them with Sand. Gravel in the food is crap for the mixer and the cows.
Use UV stable plastics.
Congratulations Tom now that you have become popular, companies are lining up to showcase their products👍
Hi Tom you could sew up that hole, like when the Fisher men mend their nets, just a thought. Love you guys, look forward to seeing every vlog you make. You make us feel like your talking to a friend. I am a 60yr old woman and never farmed, but do love watching it happen 💖💖
Well said lass,, you nearly made me greet!!!😉
Replacing tyres with gravel bags is a a great choice, nice to see all the family get involved!, Great vid once again! 🚜👨👨👧👦
Getting rid of the tires is a brilliant move. Brillant.
Why is that? Does the rubber leach into the feed?
The handeling is better and you can overlap them. You can devide speaces with them so if it gets a hole the whole clamp wont go bad but just that one part. We had tyres and it was just shit. The watter in te tyres is the worst. They look ugly on your farm and storage is a problem too. A pallet of bags can repleace a loot of tyres. Its a bit expensive but its worth the money
Have a look at the farmflix videos, they were using an interesting cover that ratchet straps down. Might help
@@overanDownUnder The problem is the wires in the tires - they can go in the feed and that’s obviously extremely dangerous for the animals.
Proof will be in the pudding! Lots of changes with silage. Heavier roller, new materials for sheeting up the silage clamp, and no tires that hold water being used. Looking forward to seeing the results when you open the clamp! It definitely looks good in the video.🤔👍👍😎✌️
The drone views were great showing the official picture and the process! And can’t beat family for extra help!
This is such a great innovation. If you can get rid of all those tires, recycle them? That would make the farm neater and would give you all that room back. It's the little things.
That’s what I was thinking!!
How much does it cost to recycle each tyre - think it's about 2 euro a pop for car tyres here ..
@@eastcorkcheeses6448 you use the tyres each year
@@TomPembertonFarmLife Sorry Tom, I didn't catch you when you said you weren't allowed to use tyres, Who said and why. If you already have them, I mean why can't you use them. It is not like they are going to melt over the course of the year. Perhaps I'm missing something. I mean I remember if you had a side passage alongside the Silo people used to side spread dung over the sheet, Banning that I can sort of understand but then again all the runoff is going into the slurry tank in any case, so then again i don't understand after all. Interested in the reply.
@@nialldaly7108 the new silage cover manufacturer. Tyres (with wire ) can puncture the silage cover.
Great job, and a big one, but it's done. You might want to slant the gravel bags so they don't work as a dam when it rains. Learned that through another, similar project. Thanks for all the videos.
we bought a very used vibratory compactor used for highway use, it is amazing the difference, even more than a landfill compactor D10 CAT, gravel bags wear out we found, back to the tires which never wear out and store well no juice with cut tires
Looks like a good idea, about the metal bit, I remember that we used to have magnets about the length and with of your pointy finger which were meant to be swallowed by the cow and collect the metal that might have gotten into their belly. They were cylinder shaped magnets. It sounded a bit unbelievable when my father explained what they were fore.
This looks soo much better on the clamp and when you get rid of the tires it will be a huge lift for the droneshots too.
Wow! What a job but having a fun group of helpers made it look like a fun one. Hope the new tarp and gravel bags work the way you want...it does look nicer and cleaner than the nasty old tires. 👍
We do them bags allong the sides and tires on the clamp because then you have more pressure on the clamp instead of lines with alot of pressure
Those top sheets are good, we had one on the maize clamp, got a picture somewhere of a Ayrshire cow stood on the sheeted clamp & it didn't knacker the sheet underneath.
Great to have friends and family helping you. Love your videos Tom!!!
getting soaked with water out of tires has to be the most dreaded thought of covering the silo
It’s Tara boss
Poisonous snakes curled up in them was my fear!
Dzsdy5;£$/*)0
@Deborah Harvey in England there are not poisonous snakes
It’s horrible
Fab video the new sheets and the gravel bags coupled with the roller will make a huge difference to the silage quality , .....and tyres yes spent many a summer getting soaked by stinking tyre water
What we do when putting tyres on is unroll the sheet then roll it back up then drive the loader up the pit with the tyres In the bucket and saves work
Tom, always remember it could be worse than tyres ;-) the farm I worked on as a teenager (800 acres, just beef and you know what us Paddies are like for growing grass! ) all of the silage sheets were covered in sand bags at the bottom and the whole top was covered in dung. Forked out of the trailer onto a pallet on top then spread around :-O In fact it was even worse taking it off. The year we got our first tyres was like a holiday.......
Awesome video! I live in farm country and have always wondered about how they put the plastic down on silage pits. Thank you for sharing. Cheers from Utah, USA
I love how the farm seems fine as it is but then things like this juat show there is always room for improvement and how many years tyres have been used but like he says these gravel bags will be a game changer I think well done tom and the family brilliant video yet again
Great system. I've had the pleasure of getting the obligatory soaking of minging tyre water whilst helping to cover a pit when on my summer holidays in Ireland when I was a youngfella. I still loved it though. It was a world away from London. That super heavy roller that did your clamp could be a game changer in terms of space though. By the time you're ready for second cut the pit might have dropped more than a foot.
Can't beat family to help out and enjoy.time to meet and talk as you work.not always got time when working on a farm.hope new sheet ,and bags work out.!🐯
At least you only have to fill the bags once no more lovely wet legs in winter taking tyres off 👌
Edited ! No tyres no juice ! Always driving to improve you are the man Tom 🙌
Family and friends coming to help is always great.
Also i got a kramp ad for the first time.
I sure hope this works out better than the tires.
I love seeing family joining in while on holiday.It a fun time when it isn't part of your job.
We sheeted up on friday, pain in the butt every time.
We use a combination of gravel bags and tyres. Gravel bags in the same configuration you did and then tyres to keep the nets we use instead of green sheets on top. The net is supposed to be crow proof but well, they clearly have too much time and meticulously pick away at it until they manage to put a hole in it. Still better than without the net though
If it's a Secure Cover you have, you can ask them for repair kits which they send out to you for free!
Hi I love farming
Note to self, don’t go to Toms for Holiday 😂🤣😂
😂😂😂👏👏👏
@@TomPembertonFarmLife I’d love it! 👍
@@kasie680 me too. 🙂
Superb, safe, family fun / hard work on the farm! Great video Tom, lovely getting the family involved.
Oh, fun filling gravel bags! But they work and I love the music! LOL! Very nice having family around to help!! Thanks for sharing! PS I now know more about silage...I always wondered what was underneath the plastic sheeted mounds with tires on top as we drove through farming country in Eastern Washington state (USA)!!
We switched to the gravel bags ten years ago or so. The zip ties will break after 3-4 years in the sun. We replaced the plastic ties with concrete rebar wire ties. They come with a loop in each end so you can twist them with spinner handle to tighten them. They are still in good shape after 5-6 years.
Biggest advantage for us was getting rid of the tires that hold water and are a prime breeding ground for mosquitos. Much cleaner operation than the used tires. Also the tires can add fuel to any fire that might happen on the farm.
Good to know 😊👍
Great family effort and great family memories keep the videos coming and Happy Farming
Family on holiday from London and you put them to work! Ha! Love it!
Good way of spending your time with happy love one after a lockdown helping you out keep safe
Not a farmer here. No experience with any of this stuff, but I love watching it!
That being said, I remember watching another channel (farm flix), and they used something called Silage Safe system. It looked pretty good and easy to use. Worth the research to maybe have it in the future.
Hey Tom small question you planning to watch Clarksons farming series it look quite good to me👌
Tom to do an honest review of Jeremy's farming (coughs) style. I hope so
@@choppercam01 I'm with that
We have to hear the ginger review
@@choppercam01 that would be amazing
@@seanbracegirdle1336 100% lol
Great teamwork!! The clamp looks great!!!! Stay safe!!!
Cool video friend nice to see your friends and family come out to help you with the grass pit covering 😀please keep the great videos coming and please stay safe friend
Astra turf which you have is handy for covering the plactic
Need to make a home brewed cider and call it “Tyre juice” sell well in the farm shop!
😂👏 We do!!
Well Tom just a tip for less waste silage is we get a spade and cloth on end to not cut sheeting and then tuck the side off the sheeting down to wall for less waste and you could also sheet the side of wall before taking grass in too and then fold it over on top the new sheet
Nice job with the help of family. Would have liked to meet them all, just first name and a 'hello'...I bet they would have liked that too. People want to see their face in a video they're in. If nothing else they can show their friends and neighbors. Of course they say no when you ask them, it's the humble and polite thing to do, lol.
Well Tom. I would still put a single row or 2 of tyres up the middle of pit so there is more weight in the middle or else get a few more bags and use them
We use the cone method for filling sandbags out here in Colorado. But instead of using a JBL lift we use 2 sawhorses and a ladder. The cones fit nicely between the rungs.
All of this ''Clamp'' talk, is giving me ideas. Thanks
hope all that hard work works out at the end.. farm is look good thanks for sharing.
Another great video Tom, Taurus Tyres Recycling Unit H, Aldon Road, Poulton Ind Est, FY6 8JL if you have no use for the tyres anymore. Or see if they could granulate them for you if you need a nice hospital pen for any lame cow’s. Save you buying sawdust Just a suggestion!!
old tires ?? make great places for snakes in the summer....yellow jacket and bumble bee nests. You can outrun the snake but not the a wasp or especially a bumble bee. Danz can those thing hit hard and drive their stinger deep. Good vid Tom...and crew.
What great family and friends you have.... Great vlog.
Seen that JCB telehandler a few times now - is it yours? You are awesome you make a boring job so interesting. Those gravel bags look like a good idea
Family and friends TEAMWORK! It's the BEST!!
Tom I said this somewhere else but for your 2nd cut you should attach the tires together in slabs off 6x4 and then lift them with maintoo on and off. Bolts and washers do the job
Tires hold water that mosquitos love to breed in. Getting rid of them makes for more comfort for both you and the livestock.
@@hillockfarm8404 ye but there’s no mosquitoes in the uk or Ireland
@@dillon2105 midges, gnats or whatever biting fly thing that transmits blue tongue, etc.
Hi guys great video! We use lorry tire side wall's on top and bags on the sides and end. A small tip for next time, start from the rear so that u push out remain air out to the end and then seal at the end 😉
Great 👍 video Tom nice 👍 to see family helping out have a great 👍 weekend 👩🌾👩🌾👍👍🏴🏴🇬🇧🇬🇧👌👌🚜🚜
I actually waved when you introduced the family to us 🤣🤣
She did a great job of cleaning your lens 🤣
We have just been on with the clamp also and I agree it is a pain to sheet
Tip, if you use your tires in the middle and put the gravel bags around the side to hold down the edges it works really well and holds the sheet down
I’m impressed with how that that plastic roll folded out to cover the whole thing 👍👍✌️
AWESOME JOB! You have wonderful family to come and help on their vacation!
Awesome family and teamwork! Looks great 💜
Clamp is looking good!!! Cows are going to love it. On another note... can't wait to see the Ging smelling the grass.
Another job well done! I always learn something watching. Stay well and I'm looking forward to seeing the outcome as well! Have a great day!
Love your videos Tom. Lots of exciting things happening for you.
I'm Just about to start my own adventure into farming. Starting with some work experience dairy farm around the corner from me. Something I've always wanted to do since I was a kid. Im 28 now. And the opportunity came up this week and I'm now about start work ex before I quit my current job. I am so immensely excited. Wish me luck.
Good work. I would reuse the tires for something on the farm. (We use tires as roads in the US.) Hopefully everything works out well with the clamp
Glory, many hands make light work. Awesome video
That's some tough sheeting. I can only imagine how much more aggravating this would have been if it were more prone to tearing.
Also, tire juice should be the name of a shot, like a mat shot 😅
I definitely hope the gravel bags work for you! Not having to deal with those tires will be great!
Always a good day when I get to wake up before work and watch you work
Thank God for friends could not imagine that you and your dad doing that by yourself God bless take care good video🙏🚜
Brilliant video Tom, thank you 👍
Super tidy job 👏👍
Fingers crossed that it does the job well🤞
It's a pity you haven't got any net fishermen near-by that could mend your green net sheets? Im sure that their darn shuttles could mend those holes 🕳 quite easily. Or may be a local crochet or sewing group would like a challenge? 😁
We'll be sending him repair kits don't you worry!
Oh theres nothing to compare to standing water in a tire, except if its drained all over you! So happy that this might be the last you have to deal with them! Whatever will you do with so many tires? Can they be shredded for recycling??
I've always loved working with family on a job like yours. All looked like it went well. 💗
Sounds like a great improvement. Hope it works out for you so you can get rid of those piles of tires.
Neat to see family helping and the new set up to cover is interesting hope it works out.
The gravel bags work great ive got a friend that uses them and says they are mint much better than tyres but just a thought if you do use the tyres for whatever reason why don't you drill couple holes in top and bottom that way the water will drain out the tyres saves the mess and the weight of the water
Tom Love your T shirt with the #1 Farm rule........truer words have never been put in print!! Wish there was a way to get one of those here in Iowa, LOL my Normandy cows if you give them an inch they will take a mile and then some.
Tom, so great to see family coming out to help with a tough job. You all made it look easy. I can’t wait for your dads first snif of this silage next spring to see if it passes the test! That man knows his grasses. Good luck with it. P.s., also, the comment about filling t(em with sand was very smart. Maybe for your next batch of bags?
Looks much cleaner!
Nice seeing the happy family :)
Thats a well made pit from start to finish 👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Teamwork makes the dream work! 👍 Love you guys..
Hi Tom it will be interesting to see the results because I wasn't happy with the 2 in 1 sheet so went back to the 2 sheets more fuss but better silage
That's quite a pile of grass you have stored. Your explanation of the detriments of using the tires brought us things I'd not realized. Do you give any of your cows magnets that show signs if ingesting metal fragments? Nice crew you had helping. Many hands make the job lighter.
We got rid of our tyres and with that we got rid of the need for magnets.
Tom ...welcome to the Army ..same as filling sandbags ...fun fun
I really like those gravel bags... they look easier than sand bags
Looking good everyone.
Thank god when I play farm simulator 19 I just have to press L3 and its covered. Great video Tom 👍
Good luck finding a new home for your tyres!
Hey Tom.. do you see where 10th generation dairy man only uses the wall of the tyres.. don't hold water.. two rings per tyre.. and very easy stacked.. great job
Getting rid of the tires will help keep the mosquitos away. That is a big plus.
Love the look!!!! And Im guessing those rock bags can be reused year after year. ❤️🐄❤️🐮❤️🐄❤️🐮
Amazing team work xx
great video best thing about coming back off holiday is coming home to tom pem farm life notifications.
5:16 classic ginger guy, unsure as hell
