It worked for what you needed. We can always use hindsight to get smarter for the next time. Hopefully ther will not be a need, but you never know. The team did great work setting it up and tarring it down.
Vic and James make an amazing team, and that baler really saved you in a pinch. You were very lucky to have had this as an option during your remodelling Tom. Now things will get back to normal , maybe. ❤️❤️❤️🐄🐄🐄
Tip for the packing away of the bale. Tell the guys to look at uhaul trucks, the ramp slides in on rollers under the body, and have clips that lock in. Very handy
I just love the videos where guys come along and move stuff and put stuff onto low loaders etc etc. the skill and knowledge involved is great, along with hard work. Great hard working British guys!
One thing the guys forgot to do was put a warning flag on the back of the trailer telling drivers he had an overhang at the rear of his vehicle. Always see this on the roads recently.
Worked as a cop in a small town. Best catch was a young man, 18ish ,went mudding across a mans planted field. followed the mud trail to where he was staying. He got a notice to appear in court and the farmer got compensation for the damage to his crop. Young man stayed out of fields with his pick up truck and I got to laugh seeing you crossing your field saying don't tell dad. lol
I am so excited the bale is leaving I could scream. The space it takes up is so vital. before you even said it I was hoping some calves could go in that space.
Awesome video. Talk about driving skills! What a wonderful organized team. Really enjoyed seeing the take down of it, incredible how mobile they make it. ❤❤
Great video as always, love the content the only thing I would say is the hitch sticking out the back of the trailer between the ramps, I'd tie a hi-vis vest to it, hard to see on the motorway or bad weather 👍
The bale was just a necessary evil. Like my old boss used to say it's never comfortable doing construction while your living in the space but you get it done save some $$ and say "Man I'm glad that's done!!!" When it's done!
James is definitely a master of that task! Great work! It must be such a relief to finally have everything to do with the parlour job done! And you have regained so much space in the shed. Now you have so much room for activities! 😂😂😂
Tom, 147 was only letting you know that she was ready for her close up shot. Cow 116 was making sure that you guys didn't damage her food when you moved the chute.
Congratulations Tom!! You and your team got through it! You have an amazing brand new parlour! And the bale did the job you needed it to! But also finally it’s gone and you can improve the space it was in!!
I’ve never milked cows in a milking bale but I would expect that it would be harder and more time consuming than milking in your permanent parlor. We were in the dairy business until 1976 or 1977 and we only milked two cows to a side. We were milking about 125 cows and it took us about 9 hours a day along with cleanup. I started milking by myself when I was 13 years old. We split the herd into thirds then. My dad always took the early shift, then me or my brother took over and the other would finish up.
@@PAYNEKILLER.. The first "milking bail" invented by Arthur Hosier in 1922. He was a farmer in North Wiltshire (near Marlborough) that had high chalk pasturage and made a mobile 6 cow milking parlour on wheels because it was easier to bring the milking parlour up to the cows than bring the cows down to the barn/farmstead. "bail" is a type of bullock or ox cart. So a farmer named Arthur put his milking gear on an oxcart and hauled it up to his cow pasture.
Hi Tom, as always a great Video and I'm sure the Ginger Warrior is going to have a word or two😁😁😁😁 However if I had a concern it would be with that Draw Bar hanging out the back of the wagon, especially as no obvious warning signs. That's an accident waiting to happen. You need to have a word with Vic and James!
My thoughts too. Recently watched a short prog on tv about police stopping all the large loads in their area and 100% were taken off the road for non compliance. Just paint the bar with high vis colour and add a simple guard.
or maybe people need to just pay attention to the road and whats in front of them when driving why does everything need a sign or label for people? a little darwinism would help the world alot. Also there was black and yellow caution tape on the end of it so it was clearly marked
Awesome video Tom very clever guys vic and James and no drama just get on with it type of guys 👌🏻👏🏻, can what was the problem you had with the bulk tank move you touch on in the video 🤔
tom In Pennsylvania, to move the milking bale, you would need a state permit, a pre and post wide load escort, and maybe police in villages and towms. Also flashing lights all over. For road rage a shotgun too! E
need to show the parlor more. all the farm is super cool. from a city person just to watch the parlor working is way cool. maybe you can have some panda cams running on the farm to clip in with your regular videos.
Was there scope to have built the new parlour in the section where you put the bale and continued to use the existing parlour whilst developing that space?
Just think... next time you'll need a bale on the farm, it'll likely be your son or daughter ordering it and James will be Vic! Truely once in a generation project and great seeing it finished. Well done Tom and all the Pemberton team 👌🍷
Tom i got to thinking y'all still drive on the wrong side of the road we usa drive on the right side get it the right side 😂😂😂😂 thanks again tom enjoy watching every time 🙏👍papa tom
Lol. We used to milk 180 cows with 11 on one side, and that was it, for 17 years, as my father, in his wisdom pulled one side out to renovate and never finished it! One thing I would suggest would have been to allow the cows to explore the bale for a few days before you finished up milking in the old shed just to get them used to walking in a space they'd never been in before.
You previously noted that you could see the difference in hoof health since using the bale (white line increases, etc). Was that just because of the right-hand turn they had to make getting into it or was part of that because of the standing around time and if the latter, would that have been at least partially remedied with a second bale?
I don’t think so. It’s the way I had the bale and how the cows had to turn in to it. I think if I was quicker and had the parlour finished earlier 🤦♂️
Food for thought, instead of one bale being 12 units long, would two six unit bales side by side work far more efficiently? With relatively little more plumbing required?
I was just wondering what happened to your indoor parlor. Now I know now you’ve got so much room you don’t know what to do with. Oh, I’m sure he’ll find something for that space. But I can see you could not of handled it with anything less all that milking that you had to do in the hours that were spent in the the Bale well, like you said, should I had two. But I’m glad that it’s done and you’re in your new parlor. It’s amazing I should think your milk production is up. Happy kills happy farmer.❤
Curious if the parlor delay from 3 months to 6 was caused by nature, you, or the contractor? If the contractor, that is not acceptable. I can understand a short delay on any project, but not double the time.
Could you not put another truck body beside it and just install stall work and feeders on the seccond truck and swing the units accross , you would have 2 truck body’s side by side with stall work for 28 and 14 clusters that could swing accross and service both sides ?
It's so funny the differences in travel from the UK to the US.....a 2 hour drive in the UK is a "long drive" lol.....a 16 hour drive here is a long drive.....great vid Tom....congrats on the success of the channel brother!! Josh
Mental isn’t it! 🙈I drive 6 minutes to the farm. It’s rough 😂 Cheers mate, hope you and Mrs StoneyRidge are well. Should come down again. The place has changed abut since then 🙈
Heard of a farmer who doesn’t have a milking palour/yard…. Just moves one of these around from paddock to paddock as needed!!! Brings around a power pack/pump and a IBC for washing…… 🤯🤯🤯 so count yourself lucky Tom you only had this for 6months 🤔😬 also can’t believe lorry driver didn’t put something on drawbar sticking out 🤷🏼♂️
Like you say you couldn't have done what you wanted to do without the bale, if you had had a different space that was a bigger area the set up and how it was used might have been better. They are definitely a good idea, especially if like you your having your milking parlour re done. Am sure your Dad won't complain to much about the grass, he'll be glad the see the back of it as well. 👍
Things are looking pretty cool. Looking back it is quite impressive we were able to follow the work on the new shed and the new parlour. Any plans for the new empty space on the shed?
Can you explain to those who don't know what Red Tractor is? I know what it is because I've seen it on tv, but I'm sure a lot of people that aren't in the UK won't know.
Hey Papa Tom. The Bale is gone. The new Parlor will make it's money now. All that time and talent now pays off. Now time to repurpose the old bale barn, but not before BABY !!
You got off lucky using that bell, when I milked here in the states it took us 8hrs morning and night. Started at 2 am finished with mixing at 9 then took an hour and a half to wash up and start sterilizing. Of course we milked 500 at our lowest time total we had about 1200 head. That's including dry cows before I quit we were milking 1000 head,, at 10 a side in a parlor
You should make a shirt that says Don't tell dad! with tracks going through a field.
Big day and now to the future
You go.
It served a very important purpose. I feel the inconvenience and headaches was worth it.
Amazing what talented people can achieve. Quite an experience. So much has been accomplished in 2023!
This is one of your best videos. Amazing work by the company that produced the portable parlor.
Thank you ☺️
It worked for what you needed. We can always use hindsight to get smarter for the next time. Hopefully ther will not be a need, but you never know. The team did great work setting it up and tarring it down.
Another project done CONGRATS- Looks like a great vendor to work with
Yes tom great to see the bale to go and in deft need for that yard brush at Ollys
Yay, the bale has left the building. More calf space. Loved the spreading of the cake with bedding spreader; farmer using what was available.
Taught it would be 3 months, turned into 6 months, but look what you ended up with, smashed it out of the park😂😂
Vic and James make an amazing team, and that baler really saved you in a pinch. You were very lucky to have had this as an option during your remodelling Tom. Now things will get back to normal , maybe. ❤️❤️❤️🐄🐄🐄
Everything is back to normal. I bet you're happy the farm is looking very nice and you have made so many wonderful changes!
Well done! That was quite the process. Press on Tom, baby coming soon. 🎉
Love and prayers 😇💜
Happy that you have the new parlor.

Great couple of guys, so positive and always smiling!
I just love the videos where guys come along and move stuff and put stuff onto low loaders etc etc. the skill and knowledge involved is great, along with hard work. Great hard working British guys!
Look at all that space the bale took up. 😊👍
Finally gone and I think we could definitely tell how excited u were to see that go
Thanks for the video Tom.
Happy cows happy farmers happy Friday. Be well be you
Great, so Talented Lads ....... well done, What A JOB ☘

Hi Tom how are you doing
WoW skilled driving by James
Awesome video, the end of the bayle the parlour is now officially finished.

Wonder why it's called a Bale?

If the mobile milk station is moving, why not transfer the valves from the calving shed to that new acquired space
he said in the video that he was going to be putting calves in that area. maybe watch the whole video
Congrat on closing the story book on the temp milking parlour.

fab video, I want to see more of the parlour pls
Awesome video Tom very clever guys vic and James and no drama just get on with it type of guys 👌🏻👏🏻, can what was the problem you had with the bulk tank move you touch on in the video 🤔
Probably easiest option is build new building for.parlour and milk in old parlour until new is ready
Whooo🎉my hometown Ayrshire got a shoutout by Tom great video as always

Speed Binder for chaining down loads are a miracle!!!
I missed what he was "bitter about" on the bulk tank move?
Amazing!!!!!!🎉🎉🎉
Great video Tom 😊
Fantastic video as always
It kept you milking while palour upgrade happend so is a good bit of kit
💯💯💯💯
Wonderful video 😊😊😊😊
Support 😊😊

Now the bale has gone you can plan what to use that space for - calves maybe? X
Hey TOM you are realy good man and your videos good
Love the vids keep them coming ❤🚜🚛🤘
Good video
great stuff
Afternoon Tom
Tom i got to thinking y'all still drive on the wrong side of the road we usa drive on the right side get it the right side 😂😂😂😂 thanks again tom enjoy watching every time 🙏👍papa tom

Remember, its the journey not the destination.... so, yeah. Fun trip that 6 months.
Always busy busy busy❤❤
Good video tom as always
Some of those cows are like a huge curious friendly dog. The exception being the milk production and waste volume/explosions….
You previously noted that you could see the difference in hoof health since using the bale (white line increases, etc). Was that just because of the right-hand turn they had to make getting into it or was part of that because of the standing around time and if the latter, would that have been at least partially remedied with a second bale?

how is the dolly extension sticking out the back legal? there's nothing on there hi-vis wise either
Curious if the parlor delay from 3 months to 6 was caused by nature, you, or the contractor? If the contractor, that is not acceptable. I can understand a short delay on any project, but not double the time.
That puts the final stamp on the parlor! Now what to do with that freed up space???
the other option is to build a full new parlour in a new shed but that is a hogher cost but it makes life more easy on the farmer and the parlour team
How about building the new one in a slightly different place so you could move from one to the other instead of hiring the bail?
Could you not put another truck body beside it and just install stall work and feeders on the seccond truck and swing the units accross , you would have 2 truck body’s side by side with stall work for 28 and 14 clusters that could swing accross and service both sides ?

You only want to see the round bale from now on 😄
👍👍
That draw bar hanging out the back of the lowloader trailer doesnt seem right 🤔
Hey Papa Tom. The Bale is gone. The new Parlor will make it's money now. All that time and talent now pays off. Now time to repurpose the old bale barn, but not before BABY !!
Bit LeakyEyes seeing the bail come and go
Should've put robots in, perfect spot for them too.
Had a dream the other day they went in 😂
Bet you’re glad to see the rear end of that thing receding down the road.
Onward
Looks like you need to get some slurry out 😂
So Tom when is your family scheduled to increase? Hope your spouse is doing well. 😮
