Without doubt my favourite TH-cam channel. Interesting,informative and entertaining. James is so good at explaining everything. I’m not a farmer I’m a truck driver but I’m just hooked on PX Farms.
Im more and more impressed every video you upload, your content is some of the best and most educational I’ve ever seen. Your whole operation is so professional and clean too
You’ve no idea of dirt until you’ve combined winter beans on a frosty day in November with a Clayson combine, 10ft cut and NO cab, you go home absolutely black from head to toe.
Another very entertaining video.thank you.when we grew peas in the past we grew them with spring barley so the peas could grow and stay standing.combining was very easy and we separated the mixture in the dresser.straw was baled and made brilliant cattle feed
Great clip James you're clips are very informational I grow grain myself and it's been a very difficult harvest due to the weather but yes it's nice to see and listen to your weekly reports on you're farm.
Nothing on any channel on TV tonight to beat this. Thank you. This is the very best in arable farming. Excellent delivery of information, facts, figures, history, logistics, you name it he has answers or will get one. The Fendt boys should be able to fly a pump out of Jackson Minnesota quicker than that. An unfair question, if Mr Peck was not available, who would keep the show on the road ? Stay safe and keep telling us how it is.
James in two videos, this one and the first one with David you have provided a wealth of information. I know nothing of growing beans or peas so tonight is clearly a school night for me. Your doing an excellent job and providing fascinating insights into you business
Despite not being a farmer, I love watching James's channel and seeing the state of the art machinery and the skill with which his team of faithful workers can operate it. Not to mention the size of some of the fields on his farm in Cambridgeshire; 368 acres in one field, I think he said, this is the size of an entire farm here in Northern Ireland. Informative, entertaining and articulately presented.👏
Your Humor is priceless James. In Case of stucking lorrys i could sing you a goodd song. In the mid 90's i dumped sewer cake with a hooklift on harvested fields,sometimes directly into the growing crops.It was horrible and specially when dumping at night. Looking for the overpass into the field with a flashlight. Greetings from Germany.I hope the rest of your harvest getting well.
Thank you James for another fact filled video. My Grandfather’s farm was 377 acres total of very marginal land and supported 3 families in the 1960s into the 70s, how things change. I can picture the exact size of your 330 acre field! Look forward to your next video.
Another brilliant update James, its good to see getting through harvest. It is a pleasure watching you and how you run such a operation . Keep up the video's and can't wait until the next one.
Great video James and extremely interesting with the wide variety of crops you harvest and info structure you have with in the different areas of your company 👍👍
Put a tramline burner on our sprayer just a quad bike sprayer on front of knight s/p. Then a nozzle mounted off the back wheel drop leg so they steer with the wheels. We put a scrowd round each nozzle to limit the spread and also stop mud etc. Synced with main on off switch works a treat. Usually 2 main tanks to 1 front tank so doesn’t slow you down.
As always great video and highly Interesting, be interesting to see the cleaning and sorting of the mustard.. Glad to see the yields are better than you thought. Good luck for the coming week.
yet another great instalment of PX Farms, love it, I am a very distance relation to the Colman family at Narrwich,, so treat them well!!, Look forward to see PX Farms trucks in Ipswich docks!
most informative for a small and ancient livestock farmer in the devon. things have proceeded so quicly it seems,but whatever the business it requires inovitiv leadership and good management, you have both.
Hi James & Team. Great video full of info, I was shocked to hear the price of combine's from a previous video £600,000 plus. I worked on a suffolk farm in 1967 I was 16 at the time my boss Mr R Stennet bought 3off Class Matador's for I think £ 3,000 each they can now make £800 today how farming has change over the years. keep up the good work. Richard
Thanks James for another very informative video. I combined white Tilney mustard which was grown for colmans in the early 90's.Dominator 80 days with an airstream helmet.thankfully things have improved over the years.
Hi James, love the videos particularly about the constantly elusive Finn and cousin Michael, having worked on an arable farm in Essex for my dad from the age of 13 it is fantastic to see the difference in technology since I was involved on my Ford 5000 with a 3 ton trailer chasing a Class with a 12 foot header I used to have to drive like Graham Hill up and down to the Butler bins just to keep up with the combine. Please keep up the great videos . Many regards Andy Atkinson.
Hi James another brilliant video explaining the ins and outs of a large scale arable business. Looks like your getting on well this harvest we are moving into spring barley today all the best for the rest speak soon matt
James, your forensic analysis of your crops and fields is astonishing. We need more people with your knowledge as advisors to the government. I am in complete admiration of your farming/team and if I had my chance again, I would be making a nuisance of myself until you gave me a job!!!! Oh, and one question, I have seen another farm whose John Deer combine has a seed cracker (?) which shatters the weed seeds in the chaff. Is this something you would consider as a retrograde fit to your combines?
I prefer naming the Fendt MT, John RT as two track or twin track tractors. The Claas Axion 960 Terratrac is a front wheel assist - two rear track tractor. The Harrington seed destructor (Australia) mounts on the rear of the modern JD, New Holland & Case-IH combines. The iHSD turns the straw & most of the weed seeds leaving the rear of the combine into powder, so the downside of no straw for the power station. The USA is so dry in places; there are balers coupled directly to combines (combaler) at least some weed seed probably goes directly into the baler/ bale.
Another great video as always nice to see you cracking on with the harvest,an old saying around here is a good arable farmer has claas combines and John Deere tractors both have excellent back up in my experience
Hi James. Cracking video again mate. Don’t blame,e you for having a rethink on the tractor front, I used to work for claas and at most the parts are in Germany and they will do next day delivery on an over night service but 95% off parts are stocked at bury-st-Edmond’s
Re:spraying the tramlines, you can buy large quad sprayers now up to 250litre, 12v powered plumbed too two nozzles will do a cover a lot of track, just send power to motor when required independent of main sprayer.
Excellent video and very informative and a natural at getting the facts across. Sad to see that fresh farm you've acquired being sold and contract farmed. That size farm should be an opportunity for a new family in farming,time's have certainly changed and not necessarily for the better.
Love the channel. I hope it brings home to non farming community just what knowledge and passion is needed to produce our food. Just a point about your 'Five seeds over the size of a hand span'. Surely this must change depending on the width of cut, five seeds from a twenty foot header would equate to a different loss to five from a forty foot header ?
Another very interesting video, when things aren’t so rushed it would be great to see the ins and outs of the grain hospital and how it operates. It is appalling you’re being held up waiting for the spare parts to come all the way from the USA, stock should be available here in the UK.
New Subscriber Thanks for the Great Video Have a Great Harvest Season I am from Western Canada 🇨🇦 Regina Saskatchewan and the early crops are being Harvested here also Come from a Farm and Custom Harvesting and Trucking Background Dave H
Evening James, great channel, thanks for your updates. Will the issues you’ve had with the steering box and parts supply issues, tempt you to look at a different brand or just place a well positioned rocket in the direction of the dealer principal?? I remember in the mid 90’s when the new Holland 60 series came out. We had a 8560 replace an early 8630 and it was nothing but trouble. Spent more time in our local Hampshire dealer Allison and Garwood than working. Bearing in mind we had pretty much all Ford/New Holland at the time as main tractors on 4,000 acres my guvnor, Richard Porter held his tongue as long as he could but in the end a very angry Mr Porter called Mike Garwood and basically said “if I don’t have this tractor replaced FOC within 24 hours, bring low loaders and take every blue tractor off my farm”. Lo and behold, a lorry arrived next morning, a slightly larger 170hp 8670 arrived and the 160hp 8560 was never seen again.
Hi, So glad the harvest has been better. One thing I see now a lot in the US is drone spraying, it seems to have multiple benefits, one that can help is it isn’t affected by damp ground. I know there have been trials in the UK but just wondered where it stands now?
Hi James, we have started rolling all bad grass weed fields after cultivations & in front of drilling to help with germination of weeds & volunteers. (Including over winter land) Would you look into it? So far we have had good success and cleaned up fields within 1 or 2 years to a standard where no yield issues. Cheers, North Kent
Great video James. Great detail that you got there into. Would you be thinking of changing your challenger for another make? Keep up the fantastic work
Another fantastic and informative video James , glad the weather has been playing ball . I live in chadlington so watching the next series of Clarksons farm unfold! Keep up the good work!
Question, how have you managed to be able to tow the headers behind the combines when they exceed the18.5m permissable length for agri vehicles. Just interested as boss was advised against it as if caught would go against operators license. A local dealer had that happen to them whilst moving their demonstration machine with a 12m header.
Enjoying the content, thanks for sharing. Question could you put an area around each pylon into permanent SFI negating the need to combine around them so much? And thus speeding up the operation?
Funny thing I were only thinking today we should get compensated for crop loss where foot paths cross our land, it's amazing how wide a path they seem to walk these days
When cultivating with CTF do you ever get problems with ridging along the outside edges of the equipment. As you cannot cross at angles to eliminate this effect I imagine implement setting is critical.
Great video as usual explaining everything that is happening and the reasons why it is done as it is, question do you think more land will go to SFI next year resulting in less crops grown pushing up prices which I get as you can't farm at a loss the public need to realise that for basic foods they need to pay a little more for farmers to be able to invest or at least make a living oor not having the Supermarkets holding our agriculture industry to by the you know what's !!!!
I'm disappointed with the Fendt's breaking down all the time. I thought they were meant to be the best tractors in farming? Obviously not. I would be tempted to go all claas as they are just down the road and have very good customer back up 👍
typically old footpaths connected parish churches , so the vicar could walk between his flocks , so to speak. Obviously , there is no vicars requiring "as the crow flies" footpaths between his congregations any longer. The re-routing go ancient footways is long overdue . I cannot see why anyone person would object to be given a much better alternative around the field margins ???? unless of course they have an alternative agenda ? Good Vlog as always from PX Farming.👍
Without doubt my favourite TH-cam channel. Interesting,informative and entertaining. James is so good at explaining everything. I’m not a farmer I’m a truck driver but I’m just hooked on PX Farms.
Hope people realise what effort you guys put in to feed us. Love the machinery. Cheers.
Thank you James I enjoy your input into the real world of farming
Im more and more impressed every video you upload, your content is some of the best and most educational I’ve ever seen. Your whole operation is so professional and clean too
You’ve no idea of dirt until you’ve combined winter beans on a frosty day in November with a Clayson combine, 10ft cut and NO cab, you go home absolutely black from head to toe.
The best farming videos I’ve watched on TH-cam very interesting how you explain every aspect of growing crops 👏👏👏
Another very entertaining video.thank you.when we grew peas in the past we grew them with spring barley so the peas could grow and stay standing.combining was very easy and we separated the mixture in the dresser.straw was baled and made brilliant cattle feed
As a walker I'm more than happy to walk around the edge of a crop .
What a great update James love the way you explain everything to us non farmers who follow you thank you
James your dedication to these videos is amazing. All the best to you and your team!! 20K subs next???
Another brilliant video. Can’t believe the speed those combines are going at 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
That was a lengthy but informative update. Enjoyed it

Great to see how well run these big farm are
Your Humor is priceless James. In Case of stucking lorrys i could sing you a goodd song.

You definitely nailed that one . Brilliant
Fantastic as always. I've learnt a whole lot more about mustard.

Love your videos- thank you 🩵
Great update lots going on. Rye Grass appears to be the new Black Grass!
Very interesting update thankyou
Another great video. It would be really interesting content to see what happens in the grain hospital.
Great video James very interesting video

Stay safe and sound
Great video once again james , with the disappointment of the ll67 tractor , I reckon you got to get in touch with Deere to demo the new 9rx 830 😊
Hi James, I would be interested to hear how you are using sfi’s to benefit your operation. Great video keep them coming!
Excellent video and very informative and a natural at getting the facts across.

another brill video - busy times, so thanks for taking the time for us. i am wondering if that tape measure survived (33:38)
Definitely need some quadtracs or some 9rxs
Salutations de France 🇨🇵🤘
Evening James, great channel, thanks for your updates.

Fantastic film James, how come you’re not gray haired with all the stress!🤣look forward to your videos, great content 🚜🚜
Hi James, we have started rolling all bad grass weed fields after cultivations & in front of drilling to help with germination of weeds & volunteers. (Including over winter land)
Would you look into it?
So far we have had good success and cleaned up fields within 1 or 2 years to a standard where no yield issues.

Great video James. Great detail that you got there into. Would you be thinking of changing your challenger for another make? Keep up the fantastic work
Another fantastic and informative video James , glad the weather has been playing ball . I live in chadlington so watching the next series of Clarksons farm unfold! Keep up the good work!
Can we get some close up b-roll footage of the crops when you show them to see what you're describing with the colour etc
How are there no ads during your videos, its great.
Question, how have you managed to be able to tow the headers behind the combines when they exceed the18.5m permissable length for agri vehicles. Just interested as boss was advised against it as if caught would go against operators license. A local dealer had that happen to them whilst moving their demonstration machine with a 12m header.
330 acre field!! I’d love to plough that!!
Enjoying the content, thanks for sharing.
Question could you put an area around each pylon into permanent SFI negating the need to combine around them so much? And thus speeding up the operation?
Great video again James hope you intending carrying on through the winter with them?
Would you ever run a quadtrac style machine instead of a crawler?
My wife said ‘do we have to go to bed with James Peck twice a week?’
Great video again jamea.....
Why dont u buy the 333 acre farm ???
Funny thing I were only thinking today we should get compensated for crop loss where foot paths cross our land, it's amazing how wide a path they seem to walk these days
Be a big xerion on demo soon
Keep up the good work lads, off to watch millennial farmer now
When cultivating with CTF do you ever get problems with ridging along the outside edges of the equipment. As you cannot cross at angles to eliminate this effect I imagine implement setting is critical.
James try and get a demo on a Claas Xerion 12.650 on Terra Tracks.
Why don’t you use lifters when harvesting peas? We always used them and the did a great job
Agreed, me too but ours were flat, these were well up still, so saving wear on lifters.
Great video as usual explaining everything that is happening and the reasons why it is done as it is, question do you think more land will go to SFI next year resulting in less crops grown pushing up prices which I get as you can't farm at a loss the public need to realise that for basic foods they need to pay a little more for farmers to be able to invest or at least make a living oor not having the Supermarkets holding our agriculture industry to by the you know what's !!!!
I'm disappointed with the Fendt's breaking down all the time. I thought they were meant to be the best tractors in farming? Obviously not. I would be tempted to go all claas as they are just down the road and have very good customer back up 👍
I appreciate your comments on footpaths but presumably they used to follow old field boundaries - when there were more hedges and smaller fields.
typically old footpaths connected parish churches , so the vicar could walk between his flocks , so to speak. Obviously , there is no vicars requiring "as the crow flies" footpaths between his congregations any longer. The re-routing go ancient footways is long overdue . I cannot see why anyone person would object to be given a much better alternative around the field margins ???? unless of course they have an alternative agenda ? Good Vlog as always from PX Farming.👍
How much wheat will your big store hold and what is the capacity of your colour sorter, very good video again.
Are you going to have a demo of the new 600hp Claas xerion this year Great video's.
Hate it when the videos ends that’s it now on a downer all night hurry up back James plz x
Can you do a video of the mustard going through the grain hospital?
Very interesting the peas go to Japan. I just hope we don't then end up importing a load of them from somewhere else?
