i was driving tractors on my farm by myself when i was 8 your never too young to drive tractors its nice to see harry driving by he self he is doing a fantastic job keep up the good work
My Grandparents were farmers, pre war, and only had one son who was my father. He wasn’t interested in farming and became an accountant. This meant they had to eventually sell up as there was no one to leave the farm too. I was always interested in farming and used to work part time on one in my teens and early 20,s , but eventually followed another career. You are very lucky to have one son who loves the job.
Even after an extreme wet fall , an extreme wet winter and now having an extreme wet spring(900liter/m2 in 6 month) and hardly any field work done , our facist flemish gouvernement (who only cares about big industry) has decied that there wil be no temporary exemption on the ban on muck spreading on sundays and hollidays or after sunset.
Great video and I think it’s great you let your boys be them self’s and you support both there interests most importantly your always there for them and that will go a long way in there lives when they look back .
you can take the boy out of the farm, but you will never take the farm out of the boy, both Haz and Jack are amazing young men and are a credit to you. im sure whatever direction Jacks life takes him, he will take the knowledge and values you have passed on, into the world with pride.
Jack will be a Great farmer when he leaves school and I think he's very lucky to have u to teach him all about farming because u will teach him everything about farming and can I say that u have a wonderful family please take care
Richard both your lads are a credit to you and Sam, And bought up with respect, That can be clearly seen, Harry will be a super farmer in time, Fairplay to you and your wife..
Both your sons are amazing👍💯 I have been with you on TH-cam from seeing them grow up but all I can say credit to Jack let him do what he wants to do I'm sure it will be better than farming lots of laughs, Haza Keep going mate you cannot beat this industry if that is what you are wanting to do🎉
Remember the times I used to come home from work stinking of aviation kerosene that I couldn't smell being told to change in the porch and get straight on the shower.
I see Adrian of I farm we farm was showing his first tipper trailer he bought as a teenager. Still going strong. Not as beautiful as your one. Lucky you to have two cracking boys. I just have two labradors. 😊
none of my uncles lads went into direct farming, two are agri mechanics ,the other a painter,one a methodist priest and another a trucker with his own company . i would have happily done it, but sadly my grandad passed away early and a few years later sadly all three farms were sold off .
hi richard. i ve got to say what a great video. I feel almost envious of you, you have Harry interested in the job you do. While i understand Jack s situation absolutely and well done to him and whatever he chooses to do because he will inevitablly do really well in his chosen career and enjoy a much less stress career than farming, i hope. I cann t help myself but to say how lucky you are that Harry enjoys farming and would like it as a career. From my own point of view, i think the best days of my life were working along side my father at home on our farm. I had 400 acres in shropshire and my neighbours were willing for me to farm there s as well. I could now be farming over 1000 acres, but, i have no sons and i couldn t get the backing required to do all this. when my father died in 2010 that was a wake up call for me and having just spent a fortune on a new milking parlour,(which wasn t a massive improvement on my old 1966 parlour), my mother and i decided to sell up, a hard decision for me but with my families best interests in mind i did just that. If i m honest i will always be disappointed about what happened but as i get older, i m the same age as you,the less it bothers me because i have a privalaged lifestyle, thanks mainly to my parents so i m very grateful to them even though neither of them are still with me.All i want to say is ,enjoy Harry s enthusiam and embrace it for the future, lucky lucky you!
Seems you're doing fine with your boys. Nothing wrong with Jack going out into the world to find what he loves to do. But it's good to see your bond with Harry. Even if it is CGI sometimes 😅
My son graduated from Emory University Medical School on a special bridge program to finish his degree and the one year he went cost $24,000 with him living at home. When I put myself through college it cost around $150 per quarter at a state university. Times have changed.
Interesting vblog. Jack might change his mind and go into another profession. Harry has always been into farming. His little house farm shows he is keen on farming.🎉 We see you both working on the farm land but wonder what your brother is doing while you're working.
Your two boys are exactly the same as myself and my brother. I was always on the farm and tractor mad and still am at 49. I spent every spare minute with my dad on the farm. My brother went to uni and never came back. I ended up going into engineering as my dad told me the farm wouldn't support the two of us, and eventually, he had to sell it due to the financial pressures. He kept 5 acres where i now spend all of my spare time with my two children and granddaughter.
Rotten Groundsel I reckon everyone from Lands End to John O Groats has it I know my two 10 rod Allotment plots that I had in the eighties and nineties and everyone else plots got covered, it was an uphill battle that and horsetail and twitch.🧐
Can't beat a bit of well rotted, get it round here when the farm out back does the fields, all the "incomers" moan about the smell, simple answer is if you don't like the sounds and smells of the countryside, don't move to rural or semi rural location. Your boys will do you and Mrs C proud and i'm sure both will be successful in whatever they decide to do in life.
Honestly Richard don’t listen to anyone who complains about people driving a tractor under 13 it happens all over and it’s on private property yes I understand it’s rules but there there to be broken harry is being very sensible, under supervision and is a good kid so let him crack on and keep up the work and learning how to run the farm
Hi mate, it's no surprise you are getting emotional 😢, when talking about your kids.... We are the same. Brought 3 kids up, treated all the same, all chosen different careers...all left home now, as of 3 months ago, all with mortgages and finding their own path. You should just be proud and like you say, as long as they have good principles and are happy. Love the videos, CRACK ON !! 😂
Yip.. I can today agree with it all... but..... That droop nose mf would be ideal for Harry to cleanup and use... even adding to its value if you end up trading it in... I would of loved a tractor like that at his age to get my teeth into and tidy up .. but wouldn't change using our 460 nuffield no cab... we still have it so must of been doing some right 😅.. But of course its not blue 😜.. stay safe 🏴
maybe it's for the best that jack doesn't want to go farming.......very often when there's two or more brothers that want to go farming they end up falling out with each other and sometimes it takes the farm down with them , i've seen it happen several times. if they go there seperate ways they can do there own thing then and probably get on better with each other and to be honest a farm your size there's only enough income for one person really
I was curious about these age limits for driving a tractor, I had a little google, If according to UK gov site Harry will need to be CGI Harry until 16 if towing machinary, or have I misunderstood something?
@@gregshearer423 Assuming that the HSE web site was badly worded, and open to misinterpretation, I looked elsewhere, This is from the NFU website .... ' Children over 13 years and up to the age of 16 are only allowed to use a low powered tractor on it's own or with a trailed roller or harrow' CGI for a few more years then .... LOL
Morning funky farmer, Driving a tractor around a field would be my dream. I joke with my misses if I won the lotto I would buy a field and an old tractor and just drive it round & round & round alllll day long I would probably have a large rum n coke in me hand cos I likes a drink innit. 👍
I dont see why you call Harry CGI Harry if you feel safe enough and think harry is safe then just let him do it who cares what age he is. The farm i work on had their kids driving 300hp trator at 10 carting grain at harvest and topping fields and stuff, and they seem to think its fine 👍
Awk no Rich, you and your wife have done OK with those 2 lads. I've 2 myself of similar age. And for the life of me I don't know how they are the way they. Lol. They have a good mum. 160k subs + 1 quid each = New tractor on the channel for us to see. Again... Not the first time I've mentioned this..
jacks becoming a typical teenager at his age, explore the world, try new things... you raise two great sons... you should be really proud.
You should be a very proud dad, two well balanced and respectful boys. A credit to you and Mrs C..
i was driving tractors on my farm by myself when i was 8 your never too young to drive tractors its nice to see harry driving by he self he is doing a fantastic job keep up the good work

Jack's a terrific kid, he'll make an excellent teacher if that's his interest.
In Belgium its forbidden too spread muck on sundays . And we had too work it always immediately in the ground.
Well good job on putting the loader down on the ground when not in use great work farmer Richard .
I put a plastic toolbox in the left hand side window ledge of my Massey 4345 when I bought it in 2003. Works great and keeps everything dry.
Great to see Harry is interested. I’d be building a parlour and putting in cow roadways and paddocks before I’d buy a tractor.
Even after an extreme wet fall , an extreme wet winter and now having an extreme wet spring(900liter/m2 in 6 month) and hardly any field work done , our facist flemish gouvernement (who only cares about big industry) has decied that there wil be no temporary exemption on the ban on muck spreading on sundays and hollidays or after sunset.
what! Unbelievable
Great video and I think it’s great you let your boys be them self’s and you support both there interests most importantly your always there for them and that will go a long way in there lives when they look back .
2 cracking lads Harry likes the farm 🚜 work Jack likes his football ⚽️ Harry will be good company for you on a weekend. Top-team
you can take the boy out of the farm, but you will never take the farm out of the boy, both Haz and Jack are amazing young men and are a credit to you. im sure whatever direction Jacks life takes him, he will take the knowledge and values you have passed on, into the world with pride.
You're a wise man for letting your kids choose their own paths, forcing kids to do things never ends well.
Lovely to see . Two men at work 🫶🏻
Jack will be a Great farmer when he leaves school and I think he's very lucky to have u to teach him all about farming because u will teach him everything about farming and can I say that u have a wonderful family please take care
Great video. Love the team work. xx
Well done Harry
Richard both your lads are a credit to you and Sam, And bought up with respect, That can be clearly seen, Harry will be a super farmer in time, Fairplay to you and your wife..
everything the boys learn on the farm they will take with them into future lives
good to see harrie helping out must help
That spreader must be half rotten by now,it looks like its never washed
see todays Facebook and Instagram posts
@@thefunkyfarmer I will, thank you
Both your sons are amazing👍💯 I have been with you on TH-cam from seeing them grow up but all I can say credit to Jack let him do what he wants to do I'm sure it will be better than farming lots of laughs, Haza Keep going mate you cannot beat this industry if that is what you are wanting to do🎉
Will have to visit when I get to Liverpool so you can teach me how to muck spread properly! ;D
Love this whole joke with driving a tractor Lmao.
Good Morning Richard and Farmer Harry Cornock, very nice video!!!!! 😊👌👍💪
Great video Richard ❤harry can drive without worry if he’s on your private land so no need to worry I’m sure
Maby a little vash on The traktor. Best vischis from sweden 😂😢😮
Remember the times I used to come home from work stinking of aviation kerosene that I couldn't smell being told to change in the porch and get straight on the shower.
A unimog has a lot of place in the back
Townies! LOL I bet that was steaming in the cool mornings! lol Nice and ripe, makes the grass grow greener!

Ayyy nice to see hazza getting involved 👍 👌

Harry’s birthday is 6 days before mine, but my date was 60 years ago.
Great Sunday video 👍👍
It is amazing how good this CGI technology has come on recently. It is very realistic indeed.
Love the wellies
Another great video has always Richard harry and jack and family 👍
Does the farm manager have to jet wash the spreader?
You should be rightly proud of both.
Enjoyed the video ✔️
Love the channel but I think a weight block on the 3 point linkage to keep wheels safe
Interesting vblog. Jack might change his mind and go into another profession.
Harry has always been into farming. His little house farm shows he is keen on farming.🎉
We see you both working on the farm land but wonder what your brother is doing while you're working.
I use to lift the lid slightly when chains were streched you have two good lads there rich who want to get out an do stuff unlike the nippers today
That CGI is going to make mowing easier this year. Might even reduce contractor costs too.
Are you going to empty the lagoon onto your maize land too?

I think the farm manger needs to wash that massey
Good morning the funky farmer
Hi Richard. CGI Harry. As Dick Emery used to say "Ooh you are awful - But I like you"
Yip.. I can today agree with it all... but..... That droop nose mf would be ideal for Harry to cleanup and use... even adding to its value if you end up trading it in... I would of loved a tractor like that at his age to get my teeth into and tidy up .. but wouldn't change using our 460 nuffield no cab... we still have it so must of been doing some right 😅.. But of course its not blue 😜.. stay safe 🏴
cinnabar moth correct. Is it still a bit wet? Needs must.
Richard why don't you lift the lid of the muck spreader when you are loading it
lids buggered
Cinibar moth feeds on Ragwort, and not the groundsell you correctly identified.
its not ragwort. It's 100% grounsell
@@thefunkyfarmer I agree, but the cinibar moth don't feed on it, they only feed on ragwort!
i think I'm right. Google it
@thefunkyfarmer I just did, seems you are right in part as they do feed on it although ragwort is the primary food source.
CGP tec getting better everyday, will there be a living from you farm..all concided.
unfortunately thats unlikely
if that flap on the mucj spreader hydraulic should be able to lift it a little bit stop it banging
Loveeeeee your Dung videos .....juicy 😊
From Paula in Ireland 🇮🇪
maybe it's for the best that jack doesn't want to go farming.......very often when there's two or more brothers that want to go farming they end up falling out with each other and sometimes it takes the farm down with them , i've seen it happen several times. if they go there seperate ways they can do there own thing then and probably get on better with each other and to be honest a farm your size there's only enough income for one person really
Can't recall seeing that massey before , is it recent addition.
They’ve had it from basically new am pretty sure but it’s always been on the muck spreader
GGI siblings are an asset to small farms
Why is the spreader parked so far away when you fill it ?
grounds pretty sticky there so with a full load the tractor would struggle to pull it. parked it on firmer ground
I was curious about these age limits for driving a tractor, I had a little google, If according to UK gov site Harry will need to be CGI Harry until 16 if towing machinary, or have I misunderstood something?
16 to drive on the road 13 in a field and on private land
@@gregshearer423 Assuming that the HSE web site was badly worded, and open to misinterpretation, I looked elsewhere, This is from the NFU website .... ' Children over 13 years and up to the age of 16 are only allowed to use a low powered tractor on it's own or with a trailed roller or harrow'
CGI for a few more years then .... LOL

👍
Could you not drill holes in the bottom of the tool box ?
Why are you doing kick spreading so early I do it in the summer
Muck*
this is on maize ground. It'll be ploughed up soon
What about cleaning the muck spreader?
yep when I've finished the muck
And a T-Cut Richard..nice practice for Harry 😂@@thefunkyfarmer
Too much muck.
not on maize
🇮🇪🇮🇪🙏🙏👍👍💪💪
Immigrants get collage and uni paid for
I dont see why you call Harry CGI Harry if you feel safe enough and think harry is safe then just let him do it who cares what age he is. The farm i work on had their kids driving 300hp trator at 10 carting grain at harvest and topping fields and stuff, and they seem to think its fine 👍

Awk no Rich, you and your wife have done OK with those 2 lads. I've 2 myself of similar age. And for the life of me I don't know how they are the way they. Lol. They have a good mum.
160k subs + 1 quid each = New tractor on the channel for us to see. Again... Not the first time I've mentioned this..
Just a guess but the folks from Abbey might help you retire that Marshall.
Great to see Harry is interested. I’d be building a parlour and putting in cow roadways and paddocks before I’d buy a tractor.
