Great video again Thanks for sharing. Would you mind to give a mention that there’s a vintage tractor day in Castle inch venue on Monday 2nd of May. ( KIlkenny). Thanks Declan.
What a sight to see all the gear working away in such lovely weather and great soil condition. It certainly makes life that bit easier Guys. Keep her lit.
Paul’s looking a bit stressed there, I don’t blame him trying to organise and fund the potato planting, gives me a bad head thinking about it, great video again lads 👌👌
Great video, well done! Nice to see the different bits of kit in operation. Brilliant that you are embracing new technology and showing everyone how it works. Keep it up! Looking forward to the question and answer session.
Great video again gents. I work a factory job during the week and mess around farming on evenings or mornings and weekends. Still breaks me heart for spring sowing silage and harvest times when I have to head indoors for work
Great video . It would be great to hear how long ye have been farming, how many of the family are involved and where ye see the farm going over the next 5 years
I remember back in the late 1960,s spending my Easter school holidays working with a local farmer planting.Ford 5000 rotavating, Massey 135 on the planter.He used to plant about 60 acres back then..
Excellent video lads. Dedication and commitment at its finest. One for the Q&A… how much of an impact will the increase in costs this year (fuel, fertiliser etc.) affect the long term viability and sustainability of growing potatoes and crops in general?
@@finnegansfarm9137 was talking to a potato grower down here and they moving away from the Plough for main crop and salads going in with the maschio ripper first
Great Video Lads keep up the good work I’ve 2 questions my first question is in regards to young lads that have a big interest In farming and contracting that have a big passion for it and want to get into it, would you guys take young lads on that want to learn but have no experience or would you only take lads on that have experience or what’s your opinion on that also great videos keep up the great work!
@@brendanl3071 well first of all it’s actually a 11090 and no it wouldn’t because it’s too big of a planter and second of all you probably have never seen a deutz your just mouthing off because you don’t know what a good tractor is
@@crfarmlife1267 I was driving deutz while you were still in your auld boys ball sack. They only good for the small paddocks . When you get into the real ground you want more power 😉 will you plant few spuds the year ? I do like your channel aswell lad 🤠💣😀
Not always but majority of time yes we start headlands from inside and work out don’t like stone on inside as it can be picked up by harvester when digging
@@finnegansfarm9137 I have had to remove a few rows of stones around ditches over the years to allow water to drain off the field as the clods turn to soil after a year there sometimes a heavy disc set right sorts it out

Tune in to o Q and A this week Martin
@@finnegansfarm9137 oh I will that's why I asked
I remember back in the late 1960,s spending my Easter school holidays working with a local farmer planting.Ford 5000 rotavating, Massey 135 on the planter.He used to plant about 60 acres back then..

Great work Lads, I wonder how many of the general public know how much work goes into growing the good old spud 🥔 👏🏻👏🏻
I’d say not too many Keith !
Class video I d love to come down to your farm I’m from Louth my dad nows yous he owns Durnins fruit and that 240 puma is lovely
Great video, all hard at work. Yeah 70/80 hour weeks needs must. Great soil for planting in.
Cracking video again this week lads. Great to see the spuds nearly wrapped up. 👏
Cheers Trevor
Excellent video great to see the whole process ye have great machines
great job lads you dont have any sort of an applicator on the planter like some of the other guys around any reason or what way do you do it .
Aw now them lads at farm Flix be charging to watch their video .big money boyos.
ahh it's only €6 a month, the price of one pint in the big smoke!!
@@feirmfactor859 I'd sooner spend me 6 euro on a bag of spuds
Big man talking again are you more complaining
@@crfarmlife1267 use poor farmers always be complaining.
@@brendanl3071 no we aren’t your complaining because 6 € is really that much money
Great video lads, keep up the good work 👍
Cheers Canice
Great video Cathal thanks
Cheers Donal
Great video lads, Paul looks very tired. Well done.
A lot of early mornings !
Smacking vid lads 👌👌
🤙🤙👍👍
👍
Great video lads 👌
Great video as always.
Loves these videos every week! Do yous still plough before sowing spuds or just go in with maschio rippers first now and bed up from there?
Always plough Steve
@@finnegansfarm9137 was talking to a potato grower down here and they moving away from the Plough for main crop and salads going in with the maschio ripper first
Great video lads!
Great men to work 👍
Great video lads yous are getting on well
That ground took a bit of work to get it wright.good work.
Cheers mick
Very interesting video once again.
Question.... does mick the mechanic sing
Haven’t heard him yet Sean but that’s not to say with a few pints he may do !
Great Video Lads keep up the good work I’ve 2 questions my first question is in regards to young lads that have a big interest In farming and contracting that have a big passion for it and want to get into it, would you guys take young lads on that want to learn but have no experience or would you only take lads on that have experience or what’s your opinion on that also great videos keep up the great work!
That’s for the Q and A on next video
Great video
How many gallons of diesel do you burn per day when planting
3-4000 gallons depends on conditions
@@finnegansfarm9137 that sounds a shocking lot how many tractors is that for
Typing error it’s litres about 8 tractors
@@finnegansfarm9137 thanks
How do you keep track of everything? Enjoy all the videos, well done
It’s not too bad you get used to organising everyone Oliver
There'll be no potato famine in Ireland this year, as long as theres diesel for the harvest
Well lads great video would you ever consider buying or demoing a deutz because they’re very underrated 👌
Will you go way . Them deutz are only good for filling a gap in the ditch . Do you think the 90-110 would pull the planter ?
@@brendanl3071 well first of all it’s actually a 11090 and no it wouldn’t because it’s too big of a planter and second of all you probably have never seen a deutz your just mouthing off because you don’t know what a good tractor is

@@brendanl3071 and also you mustn’t have watched the video because if you did you would have heard cathal say no question is stupid
@@crfarmlife1267 youll have to ask Cathal can you bring up the 5125 and test her out . Would you go up for a farm tour sometime ?
Great video
👍Brian
When ye Destone d land does it not interfere with land drainage after?
No not all all sometimes helps
Is there a reason why you don't have a cart collecting all of the stones turned up by the de-stoner?
You would need an elevator on Destoner not practical for our set up Patrick
Do you always put the stones on the ditch stroke in the edge of the field when destoning
Not always but majority of time yes we start headlands from inside and work out don’t like stone on inside as it can be picked up by harvester when digging
@@finnegansfarm9137 I have had to remove a few rows of stones around ditches over the years to allow water to drain off the field as the clods turn to soil after a year there sometimes a heavy disc set right sorts it out
