    Hi . Adrian. U should make a attachment for the loader with two heavy wall pipes. For the tyres on pit.when u set up ur welder .could make it easier for you. Get more on...👍

    Jesus Adrian it's only dawned on my now watching this video how much effort goes in to making the videos. They amount of times you set up the camera. In and out of the tractor like that would drive me mad😅. Fair play to you. As for expanding the farm and buying more land why would you. You have a lovely set up and just about enough time to keep on top of everything and keep everything right. More land more cattle more debt and less time for friends and family. Keep going the way you are your doing a super job. 👍

      Very true, I don’t want to become a slave to farming either. I see lots of people killing themselves for what!! Makes no sense. Ya I love making the videos, not so much the editing though, 3 hours in that one which is a bit less than others.
      Thanks Adrian

    Hi Adrian, we had the same drinkers as you up until about five years ago. We changed them for JFC tip over ones and they are excellent. They have been in with big continental cows that seem to think they are head scratchers .and they’ve lasted the test so far. We’ve some of the other type drinkers in other pens and they are a disaster, if you get a good ball valve let us know. Thanks, love the channel..

    Try use bolous on cows start of breeding season. Last season vet administered in injection form as I milked so was really easy and efficient. We had tested for everything and nothing of worry showed up but since bolous cows look way better. Pre scan all cows week before breeding season. These 2 things have helped tighten up our calving season. Keep up the good work 👍👍🤠

    Great video Adrian, biggest problem harvesting rain water is filtering out sediment, blocks wash pump and drinker valves, if storing in IBC get the black ones, algae grows in the clear ones due to sunlight getting through. Would you consider sinking a well? Keep mains water for house

      I'd guess alot throw them about etc and more chance for damaged tyres to shed wires? On a larger scale farm more chances of a problem with number of head. Maybe if you could not use your damaged ones to save any future issues?
