Alan opens the first pit of silage as he pays more attention to feed value and waste and the affect it could have on cows and sheep. The Anticipation grows to see the outcome of the Silage Safe system but remains quietly confident. A few more gate Repairs around the farmyard and a leaky water trough finally get the farmers touch but Paul is brought back in to fix the Mighty Merlo again as Alan worries more about the livestock than tractors and machinery. Auld Tom is happy with the sheep scanning and lambing is just around the corner!

Brings a whole new meaning to the old saying “There’s wiser eating grass “🤔🤔😆😂
hahahaha :)
Side sheets and fix the guttering would help.
And it was too dry so won't have sealed properly
be interesting to see what the other pit looks like when its opened as the two pits were put in at the same time
Yards looking smart now Alan few things fairly tidy the place up keep up the good work
Aye he's getting it into shape righlty
Great video, love the craic between Tom and Alan, It happens in every yard ;-)
glad you are enjoying Cormac
You learn so much from these videos, I had no idea that bad silage could cause cows to lose their calves. Uh oh, lambing season is imminent that will put an end to Alan''s good mood, lol. Great vid, love Clydes Farm.
Thanks Mags, yeah we might have a grump Alan for a while lol

BFF
This is how all family run farms are like. Great video guys.
Just bought some merchandise. Nice quality
Good job :)
Stone bags down each side of the silo will keep the silage better and role the pit for a while longer should be better quality. But I would suggest stone bags down each side of the walls
;)
Great vidoes can't wait for more 😃😃
glad your enjoying Mark
We have a cover under the pit and and up the sides and over the top and it stays good
Genial Video - nos vemos en TractorPasion
Great video, love the craic between Alan and Tom but Alan giving Tom praise !!!.. how long did the truce last..
And who was it that rolled that pit..🤔..
That is a wild one
what Alan lol
Alan is some craic
some man for one man ;)
Great video! Can't wait to see more!
glad you enjoyed :)
nothing nicer than the smell of good silage
yes yes
Alan sheet the side walls and put more than one sheet on the top of the clamp.
Then cover the whole clamp with tyres and you find the birds don't peck through the sheet so easily.👍
Also fixing the guttering on the adjacent buildings will stop the water problem rotting the silge down the sides of the clamp. 👍
Be interesting to see how his other pit Fairs out
Alan that hole of rot is just below the big dip in the gutter on the other shed. The roof on the other shed is dumping water on you silage cover
aye he needs the gutters fixed, though there's rot all over it
The legend himself
some man ;)
Great video men jfc meal bin is a handy job for meal
Tipsy Bin is better we have both
cheers Fionn
Interesting video 👍
Thanks Anthony
Lovely limousine cattle
he has some nice stock
A silo with a roof makes a big difference.if you fix the gutter and put sheets up the sides would help alot
Think he would like a big shed
Cut a good used cover into 3 pieces. Back and sides. hanging half inside all walls. Fill silo to a height that will leave it mostly above wall height after being rolled and settled. Fold covers on the edges. Put your new cover on. Then and old cover and bag down the walls and adjust for settling. Old fish or garden netting over the top greatly reduces bird damage.. PLASTER, CONCRETE and CEMENT are porous, any water trapped between the cover and wall will gradually soak through into the clamp. Good drainage also required until clamp has well settled.
Hello Gentlemen, Im from the states and own a Ag Bagger 14ft and would love to come over and bag your silage! Love the video by the way
We’ve been demoing a Polaris ranger and they are mint, once you’ve tried it you can’t go back😂 ours is coming in April and it fills like it’s a year a way 😂 My advice is to get him one, probably not what you what to hear
Alan will love that haha
Eating silage is ‘Modern Technology’!!!
Tom has a way with words haha
Flatt out Alan lad 🤙👍
yus
If you want good silage you have to use side sheets
Were do you get them covers
Savage bunch of calves 👍
Alan man those calves are super great time to be in sheep Dad is some some help
he'd be lost without Auld Tom
Not rolled well enough. That's why top block is fluffy looking. Need a tractor rolling full time when buck raking. Blocks at the sides or sausage bags. I think a roof silo helps to.. interested in seeing the other side of that clamp
Is that merlo heavy enough to really roll a pity properly,,??
you would hardly think it
Course it is.
Spittin’s quittin Alan
lol, would you eat it yourself?
@@farmflix Weel there’s worse things to eat in a ferm I wid say😂
I see the slicks were on the merlo at times🤣🤣
he has new boots now ;)
Tom must be doing 30k going round the field rolling 😂
Legend ;)
When was that pit rolled? How long after being put in?
was rolled that night and the next day
@@farmflix it's very easy for me to preach and be an 'expert' on TH-cam, but here we go...
Rolling the next day is really a big no-no, that's typically why you will see so much mould and fluffiness on the top of your silage.
Driving on silage the next day causes the top layer to act as a bellows, pressing out the gases held (mostly CO2) and reintroducing oxygen.
Get the silage in, spend an hour rolling it and then get the cover on it straight away - a pain if you finish at 1am but worth it every time, even if it's just set on top loosely. Cling film and a black side sheeting cover for that pit should be around ~£150.
I'm looking forward to see how the green cover turns out.
I see alan got himself a new dog
Maybe be time to go all bales. Will get the odd bad bale but easier than spronging off a pit
How’s Alan’s New Hollands doing??
The usual,
Breaking down
HAHA
thats a good question;)
packing the silage more and using plastic on the sides and laying it about a meter in on the floor should fix the problem
Is there no new video this week
Alan you should try putting a sheet of plastic on the ground and up the side walls and you won't have as much waste at all
Jesus Alan they’re serious calves you have
seems to have a few potentials about ;)
Grass too dry when ensiled. I have the same problem myself.
interesting i make haylage myself and no trouble this year, was talking to a boy about making it drier and he warned me about spoilage
True I made some dry bales tother year was double wrapped aswell they just didn't seem to ferment right it needs the moisture. Although this year made some wrapped hay sort of stuff and zero mold has me scratching my head
i will have to see if he gets more technical
That waste is annoying we went back to bales last two years making near enough to haylage nearly cheap as pit no meal when silage good when on pit silage always needed meal me cousin not happy he has wagons love Alans videos
Aye we’ve gone tiv todd bales nower days like but bloody crows keep on destroying the bales so we are a bit buggered
@@probro1116 stick grease on them get a gun club out sort them
Dunno if Alan is a fan of working with the bales all the same
Anyone spot the gate he left open after feeding the calves
eagle eyes ;)
The loader isnt heavy enough for the pit
think will he buy a bigger one?
@@farmflix not mr Clyde anyway 😂
Auld Tom 😂😂😂😂😂
hero
We used to have a cow like that
Once she caved you had to stay well away
Always need to be careful
Hello! Where are you ? What country and city ?
Is very important you put in yours videos City and Country
You didn't latch the gate
spotted ;)
Well ?
well
Brilliant lads. Your place is no different from hundreds of farms. Its called comprising lol .
do as needs must ;)
@@farmflix I know a man selling second hand gators. Also he’s good to do an interview with about she’d outfitting.
@@farmflix I meant sheds
maybe the Merlo isn't heavy enough
Cling film Barrier underneath and don't roll the top layer into dung
I don't think your going fast enough at the rolling..😁🤷♂️
Auld Tom is a legend ;)
Is paul a mechanic or fitter or something
The old boy needs to slow down, he’s killed those tyres off in no time at all 😉
No chance without side sheets
how do you think the other pit will fair
Hope it's better but it can be done with plastic and tyres with a bit of care.
poor Alan he has half a pit wasted!!
handlins
You should make bails instead
Sell the sheep and you’ll afford the gator!
think Alan wouldn't mind that idea but with no sheep Tom wouldn't need the gator haha
Silage way to dry for pit
wonder what way the other pit will turn out like
WTF.??First ejit I've ever seen tastin the fkin silage,
Jaysus what a mess
handlin
Rolling at that speed isn’t worth rolling atol
sure you know yourself
I see Brian’s been at the acting again
He was getting tasered in the balls on itv for some odd reason
You should buy a Can-Am Traxter not a gator clown car
Think Auld Tom would be happy to get anything
First
I have seen it all, when a farmer is actually tasting the silage..😡😡
