It's a credit to you Adrian how you operate as a one man operation. Great to see your girls helping out on the farm and how you keep them safe which is most important. You'll have to get that shed up soon as you have some amount of gear now. Keep up the good work👍
How nice to have the girls working w/ their dad! Providing their support to the family farm. They should receive extra credit in school for what they are learning. Splitter looks too fresh to use.🐄🐄😷👍
Great stuff Adrian. We bought an aluminium scraper with an aluminium handle. Super job so light. Easy clean. No handles braking. They are about €140 well worth it. When ur doing ur new cattle crush I would highly recommend a cattle scoop. Saves the back and speeds things up. Super job especially for a lad that is working alone. Fine looking log splitter.
Great purchase Adrian. We’ve a MB engineering log splitter. Similar design to yours. We never use ours on the arms always move it with the loader. We’ve 15ft of hose on ours. So we can park the tractor away frm it so there’s less noise in the shed and we can also set it up in a low shed and leave the tractor outside. Very handy now.
The dosing guns with the long hooked neck are a great job, especially when there is an animal that's not inclined to lift their head. You'd be fit to dose most without even catching them in a head gate and they actually seem calmer because you don't have to be up so close to their head (you stand at their shoulder).
Hi Adrian, Brilliant video again 👍. If you don't stop putting ideas into my head the bank will be after me 💰😱😢🤣. What a brilliant log splitter, love the safety device and pressure gauge and how strong its built, definitely on the wish list. You would have put Walsh's Cranes to shame the way you lifted it off the trailer too 😅. Check out a brilliant dosing gun from an American company called Neogen Ideal instruments on www.neogen.com. comprised of a long handle in one hand the actual plunger in the other. Dose all the animals along the chute and no need for using the head gate at all. My neighbour and I dose hundreds of beef cattle with it every year and will use nothing else now. Ideal if you have the back pack on somebody else (The girls will be soon big enough, probably are) and use the plunger and the other person concentrates on the actual dosing of the animal. Works well and well made trouble free and a great piece of kit. Also really enjoyed the labrador flat out asleep and you working hard on the scrapers. Really is a dog's life.🐕😅👍. Looking forward to the next one.
For our cows we have it running from a tube and you have the tank on your back with the dose but we find as well it gets very stiff and have do get a new seal probably twice a year
In stead of using wooden scrapers use jeps metal scraper it has a metal shaft far better than a wooden scraper we have went through 3 wooden ones and haven’t broke one metal one
Stumbled across your channel last week and have been watching back all your older vids since, loved every min reminds me of milking cows I did years ago. From Aberdeenshire 🏴
I mix the dose with nuts/feed/ cake and feed it along the feed barrier. Maybe the lazy option but it works for me anyway. I use a Phillip's drenched for individual dosing and calves. It's probably 25 year+ old
Fine looking log splitter be careful when splitting that one doesn't fly and hit the Crown Jewels that's the only downside to having two hands on the leavers. Have one 14 years great piece of equipment 👍
Another cracking Sunday video to sit back and watch amd enjoy Adrian and family 😊👍 keep up the good work sir mind your health and well being and stay safe 👍
Prima Tech auto loading dosing gun great job. If you're looking at a new crush checking out Condon Engineering they make great stuff, particularly their head gate.
Some good PTZ (pan, tilt, zoom) ones out there with decent ones starting at about €900 but can go up to over €2k for 4k ones with 22x zoom and fantastic night vision.
A Milwaukee Fixtec Quick Locking Universal Flange Nut would be a nice purchase for your angle grinder when changing discs. Also if possible when building your new crush, have your cows walk through it when going back to the shed or to the field. You could have a footpath in it but most of all, the cows will be used to walking through it so brilliant during TB testing as the cows will walk into it themselves. Ours is done this way.
I have the same dosing gun in the kit that comes with the gun there's a weaker spring install it into the front one way valve Also tie up the dose bottle as high as you can above the holding gate it will almost gravity feed into the gun
Well Adrian , hopefully spring isn't too far off , great to see ya doin well , goin from strength to strength , can't beat a Sunday these days with yourself , the Phil's , and Gerry , really makes me proud to be Irish , 3 best farmers on TH-cam and all from our wee country 👍👍👍
i found with them scrapers dont leave them sat rubber side down turn them round leaning on the other egde because the eventauly give when left rubber side down it prolongem the other way
You should definitely try the hook for drench unbelievable job I would never go back. I have the 5l pack on the back gun in left hand and hook in the right hand once you get the knack of it you'll wonder why you didn't change sooner
Great video Adrian. For myself I think that valve setup is over complicated. At some point u will tackle a really knotted log and it will get stuck on. At which point u will reach for a hammer or axe and ur gauge will be in the firing line. But it does look very well made good luck with it.
I use same dose gun, Flush dose gun out with water after use an suck up 10 or 20 ml of vegetable oil , it won’t swell rubber , hold upright, move in/out without pushing out the oil, leave oil in gun until next use. Gun will run smoothly an easily. Never need to take gun apart . .
Great video as always. Serious log splitter you got there. Best of luck with it,looking forward to seeing it working. Would like to see video on cows calving and how the calves are doing cos I am not on Instagram or any social media.
Well Adrian how's its going lad hope all is well I like the video carrolls engineering are a good company I like to see more videos of the log splitter they are a great machine ever made
for the dose gun i use a food industry organic grease on the rubber ring, works well for me when i dose the goats and sheep i have, i also keep the entire unit in a bucket of warm water, it expands the barrel to allow the piston to slide smoother and it softens the grease on the rubber ring again to let it run smoother, just a few ideas there for you to try...
Fine looking splitter,but wouldn't have the patience for those 2 safety handles or the pump on the 895! You'll need to use the Massey for splitter and lift the rings up beside you with the loader to work best....good luck and love the new shoes on case👌
Be very careful when using the log splitter Adrian, sometimes log bits can fly especially one with knots, good luck with it...a locking barrier would be wild handy for dosing in one bay of your shed, I find it great especially for butting mineral bullets down the neck...you got a nice mention in the farming indo last Tues from the tipsybin boy in Galway, I'd say he will give you shares in the Co from his comments!!!
If you are serious about a camera set up Ubiquiti and Bosh make some of the best camera's iv used. We recently upgraded some of the camera's to a mix of Ubiquiti 4K PTZ's and 1440p/4K static ones and there performance even on a pitch black night is fantastic.
We use hik vision, the connect app lets us controller all our camera’s and security systems with such ease, simply love it and the clarity of them ptz units are incredible. Would never consider anything else really for the price. Off course there’s always better if your pockets are deeper
@@IFarmWeFarm Ah if that's what you are already set up and comfortable with it's a grand system, it's one of the ones we use to operate. The Ubiquiti one in the calving/in-calf shed has fantastic night time performance.
We use the dosing gun with the long hook find it really handy and also avoids really having to grab the animal by the snout when used with a head scoop it can't be beat. Love the vids and especially love the Instagram updates keep up the good work
Have the long hook dose gun drilled the nozzle tip bit bigger makes easier squeeze trigger, I don't trust how Accurate it it though so I usually just use 60ml syringe
Same dosing gun. Mine are orange....same issue. I’ve noticed I can’t trust them. You think you’ve ejected the dose but after you pullout there’s still fluid in the chamber. It’s like the spring action disimproves over time
You could just put in 1 Bay of self locking barriers and then there is no need for getting cows out. I use a 70ml nj philips dosing gun I've had it for years.
Bought a hook gun before Christmas, would never go back to the old way, very easy to dose cows that can be stubborn with the heads, less abuse on man and cow, (we tip dont bother with the straps on the dose bottle get an old school bag) less pipes showing plus less chance of getting caught in a gate or up right post and destroy yourself in dose,
Using a gun like yours so looking forward to comments. As for log splitter good luck with it still using ax so hopefully in future can get valves to work one. Not on insta hope calfing is going well 👍

Only started watching you a week ago but love your way of working and "there has to be a better way" mentality
Nice to see safety concerns.
How nice to have the girls working w/ their dad! Providing their support to the family farm. They should receive extra credit in school for what they are learning. Splitter looks too fresh to use.🐄🐄😷👍
Good luck with your new log splitter, however I would suggest that you look at covering the hydraulic pipe given how close it is to the operator.
its the small things that make the job easier new blades on scrapers happy times!
Everytime hes cows come out the shed they are exceptionally clean well done !!!
Those scrapers have had 17 new heads and 13 handles. U deserve some kind of medal for saving the company money!!!!🤓
An only fools and horses reference 😂 Can’t beat trigger broom, but now we have Adrain’s axe 🪓
I’d say triggers broom is still out there somewhere 😉
Hello from Yorkton, Saskatchewan, Canada. Thanks for sharing your great video’s please keep them coming.

Nj Philips self filing with the back pack, hook is great job when you get used to it.

Funny I've mended our hand scraper yesterday. Looking forward to seeing the splitter in action
some times running vegtable oil through them after use helps them dosing guns last longer try and not use allot of watter near them
Fine looking log splitter be careful when splitting that one doesn't fly and hit the Crown Jewels that's the only downside to having two hands on the leavers. Have one 14 years great piece of equipment 👍
Another excellent video. Love the cleanliness of your farm.
If u can fix log splitter inside ur shed. Put hoses through the wall. Tractor outside. U always be dry .
Another cracking Sunday video to sit back and watch amd enjoy Adrian and family 😊👍 keep up the good work sir mind your health and well being and stay safe 👍
Your farm yard looks very smart
Prima Tech auto loading dosing gun great job. If you're looking at a new crush checking out Condon Engineering they make great stuff, particularly their head gate.
we just use the yoke that pours it on their backs not sure what brand it is but it wasnt hard to push it when i used it anyway
Bit of butter around the rubber in the gun, works for us, doesn't be hard to squeeze then, like the first time
Looking forward to seeing the calving cameras and how they work as my ones only point in one direction. Log splitter looks some job.
Some good PTZ (pan, tilt, zoom) ones out there with decent ones starting at about €900 but can go up to over €2k for 4k ones with 22x zoom and fantastic night vision.

I say you would be able to put the log splitter on the case because my uncle put his one on a Massey Ferguson 135 but his one has a smaller table
We used it this morning on the Case, not a problem at all. 👍
I’ve one the same I put a bit of oil round the spring in the handle. Made it better.
Have the same one myself but try a drop of cooking olive oil in it works wonders for me

Would you not extend the proposed shoot to the end of the shed and can let them straight back into shed?
Have the long hook dose gun drilled the nozzle tip bit bigger makes easier squeeze trigger, I don't trust how Accurate it it though so I usually just use 60ml syringe
i guess it is kinda randomly asking but do anyone know of a good site to watch newly released movies online ?

Thank you, I signed up and it seems like they got a lot of movies there :) Appreciate it !!
@Jimmy Johnny you are welcome :)
Nice purchase Adrian . Seen them on grassmens video a few weeks ago. Some operators 👌🏻👌🏻
Dosing gun with hook end great job can dose cattle without putting everything in headgate takes all the work out of it

I think the orange ones are a little better though
Cooking oil works 100%on the doiseing gun . Regards Philip from mayo
When you finish with the dosing gun, run some paraffin oil through it, keeps the rubber soft. 😉
Thats what we used to do, never had any bother.

Does the rubber blade not go on the front of the scraper so the scraper supports the rubber when pushing rather then the light strap
No I just replaced it as it came factory
What drill do u have and how long can you get out of it
