And so the end of the farming year makes way to another one, nearly. Hope it's been a good year, Tom, Mrs Tom and team. All the best for the next farming year (once the harvest is in obvs).
What a fantastic video, Tom was great watching to watch it. It takes me back a few years, especially with the flat 8 system. Just watching this brings back the sm3ll of the harvest and long hours, but great times first class to you
Like it. I now see that that big square bailer makes big square bails. The ones I remember are those much smaller ones that the small basiler made and were grouped into the small stacks with the front loader. All great to see. Thanks for making and sharing!!
Thanks Tom for this epic video! We in Switzerland already harvested our main crops. (w. w. ,s. b. and canola) At the excat moment that I'm this coment, I'm sitting on our MF 5S tractor drilling canola for next year...! Isn't that amazing that I can watch your videos, a I'm sitting on a MF tractor aswell? Thanks to GPS I only need to realy pay attention while turning on the headland! Greetings from Wyssachen, canton bern Switzerland.
From what I've heard, squares are more space efficient for transporting and storing undercover. They can also be broken up into small "biscuits" to feed out little bits at a time, which is much harder with round bales. Round bales can cope with being stored outside in the rain better due to the orientation of the stalks effectively forming a thatched roof. Square bales leave the end of stalks exposed and allow water to get in more easily. One way around this I have seen is to stack many square bales into a wall then place a plastic sheet / dome on top to move the water away. Round balers often use net wrap instead of baling twine and knotters, which makes them significantly simpler mechanically. I hear the net wrap also helps somewhat with waterproofing, but twine is much easier to repurpose later on :). The big factor is what equipment is available to make, transport, store and dispense the bails (baler, size of tractor and forks relative to the bales, shape and design of hay rings,size of herd and amount to feed out at once). If we are making our own hay then we tend to do round bales as that is what the equipment we have can do, whilst the neighbours making hay to sell tend to make large square bales. Small square bales tend to be higher quality stuff for situations and people looking after a small number of animals at a time (a sick cow in a yard or a hobby farmer with only a couple of animals for example).
First class video young man! That was like a professionally produced advertisement absolutely superb well done whoever put the work into filming and producing that video. And to be fair, I cannot stand music in videos, but I watched the whole lot.
Just got in from cutting my lawn and I sit down and watch this. Boy I am jealous, you get to play with some seriously big toys. Thanks for sharing, I am off to get a bigger mower. .
Wish our barley was coming off this early. We've got pheasants that are just starting to get a bit wandery and the barley up our way won't be off until well into September. ...Dogging-in is gonna be a nightmare.
Epic video. Thank you for sharing it with us. Be interested to hear how do you stay connected on the technology. Some very nice machines... amazing productivity.
Great video Tom. Are you giving your combines a rest? I hope you got my reply about the oil pump systems for the workshop. Fingers crossed the weather stays good for any field work Tom.
Hey man, great vid, lovely shots. How do you decide to harvest /plant? Is there a pattern per field? Do you start one bit then base the rest around that? Do you coordinate much with the second harvester? Clarkson's farm and you i have so many questions!
Great video tom. Here's a question though. Why can't you tow the bailer directly behind the combine? Seems like you'd save a man and a machine that way. Originally I thought it was because you need a few days in between to dry or something, but here you're doing both tasks simultaneously
@Tomlamb980 so could you run like a train? Combine towing the bailer directly behind? Maybe even have that stacker/organiser trailer directly behind it too.
Another wonderful video thank you. Quick question, how does it work with the combine harvesters, do you own your own, or do you hire in from other farmers or from a company?
Is that a Ron Knight made bale sledge Tom.. back in the 1960’s he made some similar to the cooks sledge which stacked the eight bales two high. (4x2). Great fleet of MF equipment. Where’s the two Fergie combines?
@@Tomlamb980 that’s what I asked. Did Ron make the bale sledge. It doesn’t surprise me that you have one he made. I think every farmer in the area will have had one off him at some point in time. What other bits have you got that he made. ?
think we could get a video that features the plough? why does it need turning either end of the field? plough vs subsoiler vs cultivator? dont really know the difference
The plough turns so that the furrows are all in the same direction. One side turns the furrows to the left, the other to the right. When you turn the tractor you need to turn the plough too so that all the furrows roll in the same direction.
Great drone footage ! (Again !) Lots of cutting, combining, baling here too down in Dorset - sun and no rain for once, 29C, means a small window (between 11:43am and 11:45am 😊) for decent moisture content for the grain. We have possibility of thunderstorms forecast late Wednesday or Thursday so the boys and girls of the land are under pressure. I wish them all well and work safely.

Just watched with my 5 year old grandson, this is great for him to learn from. Thank you Tom
Brilliant footage and superb editing again, well done.
It is like watching a ballet, I could watch all day.
Glad you enjoyed it
Fantastic video!!! What amazing drone shots! Gives some idea of the scale of your farm! Wow!!! 👍👍👍
Yes it does!
Art work , you farmers are our lifeline, thanks 👍
And so the end of the farming year makes way to another one, nearly. Hope it's been a good year, Tom, Mrs Tom and team. All the best for the next farming year (once the harvest is in obvs).
I love watching these videos they are so relaxing please keep them coming😊
Thank you! Will do!
Wonderful work Tom. Really enjoyed that. The highlight for me was the flat 8. Keep ‘em coming pal!
Thanks, will do!
Rare to see a tractor passed by s combine.
Nice video Tom thanks.
Another fantastic video Tom love the footage 👏
Great video, Tom. Your drone footage is fantastic, mate. Keep up the great work. 👍
@@emanuelzammit8733 thanks
nicely filmed and set to dead right music. I love it when you put these harvest videos. Pure ASMR. Thanks tom....
Old school on the flat 8. Keep the rear window open so you can hear any faults before they become serious( and no air con 😅)
Or just no A/C 😂
That shot of the harvester, trailer and baler all running alongside each other was cool. And how amazing is that little baler!! Awesome stuff.
What a fantastic video, Tom was great watching to watch it. It takes me back a few years, especially with the flat 8 system. Just watching this brings back the sm3ll of the harvest and long hours, but great times first class to you

H folks, Hi Tom , 🎉 got the big baler on song 🎉 nice to see the small baler at work your videos 📹 get even more great 🎉 well done Tom 👏
Love the drone shots ❤
Brilliant video great drone work.
Just had twenty minutes watching them bale some hay near me in Wakefield, West Yorkshire. Everywhere round here is harvesting now 🙂
Farming is not easy, but watching your video Tom, is!!
Easy on the❤ ear, and easy on the eye!!
Great to see old and new in the field Tom.Takes me back to driving a 390T for first time when it was on demo..
Awesome Tom, thanks for sharing your video showing how technology is getting better and better
Really interesting great shots👍🇬🇧
Combining and bailing at the same time. Now ya farmin

@@Unteremmental_Modding-rq8kn thanks for the comment interesting to know where everone is watching from
That was insanely quick Tom!
That’s some synchronicity and skilled work . Great to watch thanks
What a great clip taken there" so much going on, Well done and thanks for the share,. 💯👌👋👋👋👋
Great drone footage, absolutely loved it…….Tom is a Farmer👌
Glad you enjoyed it
Awesome job people 👏 😅
Beautiful video, thank you!
Thank you too!
Would be great to see why you square bale over round or vice versa. Great video as ever tom
Safer for transporting and easier stacking I would say.

Another fantastic vid from Tom and company 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks 👍
Lots of quite team work going on in that video, like a well oiled machine...
Thank you very much!
Flat eight sledge and bale grab what a revolution in its day, moved a few small bales over time ,thanks for the video Tom, was that near you
About 100 meters away from my yard
Tom Lamb, he's the man with the scythe!
Just got in from cutting my lawn and I sit down and watch this. Boy I am jealous, you get to play with some seriously big toys. Thanks for sharing, I am off to get a bigger mower. .
Have fun!
Great video,my grandchild was memorised and had to watch again
@@Frank-mn9qi me to its great
loving the baler tetris machine :)
Great video Tom and some nice drone footage again and nice to see a range of bailers out 👍👍
Thanks 👍
Wish our barley was coming off this early.
We've got pheasants that are just starting to get a bit wandery and the barley up our way won't be off until well into September.
...Dogging-in is gonna be a nightmare.
Excellent video and drone flying!
well filmed, great music. love it.
Excellent upload Tom!
I have never seen a machine like the thing that sorts bales in a 2x4 package😮👍
Epic video. Thank you for sharing it with us.
Be interested to hear how do you stay connected on the technology. Some very nice machines... amazing productivity.
Nice flying Biggles. 👍
Fantastic video Tom 👍
Nice standing crop Tom ❤
I like the guy reading his phone while the tracker just motors on..
Flying the drone?
That’s me flying the drone
@@Tomlamb980 Multi tasking at it's best
Brilliant, took me away from the world for 10 mins☺
really superb video tom
Thanks
Brilliant video, farming is Cool, Farmers are Cool! 😎
Yes they are!
thanks for such a good video
It's my pleasure
❤ it
In the 70s and 80s we had Claas senators and dominator combines.
Great to see the 390T earning her keep
Amazing
Great video Tom. Are you giving your combines a rest? I hope you got my reply about the oil pump systems for the workshop. Fingers crossed the weather stays good for any field work Tom.
Need a few bigger trailers Tom. Come over here for a few Broughans 👍
@@pamorr9081 I’ve got one but it’s full of soil
10:41 great content again nice drone shots to have you broken out the big guns to get harvest in quicker?
Hi Tom. Still ploughing? It seem a lot of farmers are using disk harrows instead. Any reason not to?
Hey man, great vid, lovely shots. How do you decide to harvest /plant? Is there a pattern per field? Do you start one bit then base the rest around that? Do you coordinate much with the second harvester? Clarkson's farm and you i have so many questions!
Brillent Tom
A bit of Claas farming, whats your yields like Tom? A flat 8 going back to my youth with that bit of kit
Hi Tom,great video… how many tractors do you run ??
Tom my boy!, what are the white objects on the top of the metal post either side of the combine blades ?. Nice bit of work 👍👏👏👏
Lazers for the self steering
Hi enjoyed this video probably because you kept quiet
Yeah I did
Some great drone footage. How many days from harvest, to bales, to ploughed? Or are they different fields? What happens next with the field?
Great video tom. Here's a question though. Why can't you tow the bailer directly behind the combine? Seems like you'd save a man and a machine that way. Originally I thought it was because you need a few days in between to dry or something, but here you're doing both tasks simultaneously
Sometimes you need to let it dry but this field it was alright
@Tomlamb980 so could you run like a train? Combine towing the bailer directly behind? Maybe even have that stacker/organiser trailer directly behind it too.
@@mattinthehat6780 yes I’ve seen it done before in Australia where it’s really hot
@@Tomlamb980 do you have a way to know when it's dry enough? A video about when it's right to do each step of the harvest would be interesting
@@mattinthehat6780 there is one on my channel how a
Moisture meter works
Another wonderful video thank you. Quick question, how does it work with the combine harvesters, do you own your own, or do you hire in from other farmers or from a company?
Own
Are your trailers tyres on back to front? The tread seems to be the wrong way round...
That’s how all non drive wheels are
@@Tomlamb980 interesting
Like a seen from america ,have u many acres of grain
Is that a Ron Knight made bale sledge Tom.. back in the 1960’s he made some similar to the cooks sledge which stacked the eight bales two high. (4x2). Great fleet of MF equipment. Where’s the two Fergie combines?

Hi,the drone footage is brilliant,What is the music playing on it
It’s called tea time
When did you upgrade the combine?
It’s a negbours
Where's Tom ?? 😮
No red Kites Tom, wtf?
Yes there was just didn’t video
Them
It was waaaaay too short. :(
Spring barley ????
Yes
@@Tomlamb980 you must have got that sown early mine is still green W Barley done but spring is a month off
