Thank You Andrew for another interesting video, hopefully the weather will start to play ball for You soon.
You,re doing a Great job posting these video,s, always learn something useful. a few vid,s back You showed how the builders ended up with a level floor inside your new House, I,ve never seen that technique before, Thank You
That was the under floor heating, I was interested too!! Thanks for your comments, glad you’re enjoying them.
Lupines apparently the best non powered subsoiler , great to see a good farmer not just carrying on and making an even bigger. problem. Sugarbeet should always carrying warning grower beware on heavy ground. Takes several years to repair headland damage!
Will remember the lupins, thank you.
Great update Andrew, appreciate you taking the time to do this, not easy when you’re busy.
Best drill ever !
I have to agree!!!
We need glyphosate to keep on top of weeds. Used sensibly, as you do is the safe way to go. Thank you for another interesting update
Most of fields round here looks like off
Roaders riding up and down wet fields
No wind blowing south west cold damp month
when i was a veg grower i used to love time this of year as every thing comes though new I all ways remember my uncle`s words setting day is not gathering day he used to say
Great saying.
great update good to see you in a tractor see you wensday
Nice to see you on the land 👍
Excellent informative video Thank you for posting keep up the good work that you do.
Hi Andrew, with regards to you new water pipe connection, the meter boxes usually only have about 300mm of blue pipe on them, therefore you will probably have to dig your trench all way to the meter👍
Thank you, we’ve connected to blue pipe so I think we’re ok.
Superb camera footage. I really enjoy watching your updates.
👍😊
Thank you Andrew another interesting video.
Great update andrew , hooefully you get drilled up if you havent by now.
Not yet!
Welcome to my corner of the UK. The last 2.3 ha. to plant of spring barley is three fields.
Good job you don’t want us to come with the RX and 8m drill!
@@WardysWaffleAndrewWard 5 score kv rev on a 6r and a 3m onepass on a 6r. machinery worth alot more than the land!!??
👌👍
Have you looked into Titan Goodyear LSW 1400 tires instead of dual rear and perhaps LSW 1000 front tires? I'm not sure if they're available in the UK but they're supposed to be as productive as tracks (and cheaper when you consider maintenance costs), don't sink in the soil, and give the tractor a smoother ride. I've seen a lot of farmers here in the US convert their tractors to them. You can search TH-cam for videos of them. BTW, love the videos. Great work.
The tractor really wants changing so not worth putting new tyres on. Not heard of those ones. Glad you enjoy the vids. 😊👍
Hi Wardy, I would be very interested to hear about staff in a future video? The level of staffing you have, retention, training and hiring... Might be useful for people as staffing and retention is such an issue in agriculture.
Not a problem. I won’t be able to get Reuben to talk though, he’s very camera shy! Tom doesn’t mind.
The other difference between the cultipresses is the levelling tine arrangement the old style absorbed a lot more horsepower and bunged more easily.
Yes, I forgot to mention that. The newee type are so much better and don’t sap power so much.
Great update Andrew, tough old spring cropping this year, be interesting to see how the rest of the year rolls out, case sounds nice just growling away
All the best Lee
Harvest is going to be a bit thin I fear.
I imagine there will be a lot of wet margins being lost to cover crop all over the country this year. You made the right call not going on it, not worth the mess/damage IMO.
That’s what I thought. The return would of been non existent.?
Goid one andrew, we farm about 15 miles from john prices farm, looking at google mwps he has not destroyed 1 km of river bank, i measured it yo be around 300 meters, the feild to the side is just over 5 acres!! Thr trees cut diwn were alder, which unless copised will aventualy fall into thr river, we rent some arable land that had started to flood, 3 years ago it didnt, the river in the adjoining feild which isnt ours is filling with gravel and fallen trees, so if there is 2days of decent rainfall the river enters our feilds, its fairly fast running so 10 acres now cant be croped or properly grazed, heres a sum andrew, 10 acres milling wheat, 3 tons per acre= 30 tons of milling wheat,= 51000 loaves of bread, avrage person eats 60 loaves per year, so 10 acres of milling wheat would keep 850 people in their daily bread for a year, been trying to get the E A out to see if we can do something for 3 years,
EA are a waste of time they won’t do a dam thing to help and they don’t understand how rivers work, all they know is what the books have taught them.
Totally agree.
Very interesting thank you. Some good figures there and one the EA should know. If all heavy land farms treated ditches like they treat rivers our food supply would be a lot less than it is now.
Sounds like he had to plead guilty if he hadnt sounds like the Judge could have frozen seized the assets,EA ,even chose the judge,and they call that democracy,Red tractor have removed his assurance ,some help they are, and his potato contract have been taken away
Great to see you getting most of the land worked and drilled, now we just need some warmth to help things along. Simba made brilliant kit, just a shame they are no more. Saw the Manitou early on in the video, was this after the gearbox issue and if so, what was the problem?
That Manitou was the one we have been lent! Ours is currently having the gearbox fitted.
@@WardysWaffleAndrewWard what simba equipment do you use on the farm?
See update 64,65,66.
@@WardysWaffleAndrewWard thank you does Ian hootan work for u?
Yes, part time, does our workshop work and simba repairs!
Hi Andrew, did you use the amazon drill that was dropped off a few weeks back ? Thanks again
It was collected a few days later when I want there. It was delivered to the wrong Glebe Farm! We are getting it back hopefully.
Hi Andrew. Another great video. Have you got much more to plant now?
Only one field of beet and one of barley so we’re getting there.
Andrew can get a cover for you microphone
I have a new one but didn’t have it with me on that 1 windy occasion but it won’t drown out engine noise.
Surprised you didn't have flocks of pidgeons feeding on the exposed seeds !!!
There isn’t too much on top, that’s one good thing with the simba drill.
Combi drill would do that headland no bother 🤠
I'm not so sure, it looked pretty wet!
@@julianhawker7672 it did in places but you’d get 90% of it without making any mess I’d bet
I doubt it, unless you put it on a hovercraft. It was so wet I couldn’t even walk on it without sinking up to my calves. We’ll let it dry out and then sort it in the summer.
It has been known to have a tractor on the front pulling the tractor and combination through,Wheat might stick that, barley likes to go in dust
@@WardysWaffleAndrewWard come on Andrew put some sunflowers in, show Olly how to grow them properly
👍👍👍👍
Where has the bad reputation of glyphosate come from in the general public? Were there other active ingredients in Roundup that caused the bad rep?
They used to have some additives included but the bad press has mainly come from the ‘I hate all pesticides’ brigade.
I thought there was a court case in America,about someone who had health issues,not sure how they proved it ,I dont know if Monsanto doing a deal with Bayer is a way of getting out of the compensation
There was but the prosecution lawyer was found to be lying and the case was thrown out.
The case was based on lies or lied under oath?
Both!
@6.45 Why do such a tight turn, skip one row, that's what AutoTrac is for.
We can’t do that when drilling because we put 1 tramline in one breed, the other the next breed and you’d end up with single trams all over the field. Tom is using auto turn.
@WardysWaffleAndrewWard Speak to JD I'm sure they'll advise you on how to skip rows successfully without leaving gaps.
Great Videos by the way..
Trouble when you skip rows you end up running on the ends twice, it can’t be avoided. That’s ok when it’s dry but I don’t like doing it on wet clay soils. We’ll even not roll the headlands some years as rolls pack them down tight.
Is that 8rx your best purchase to date?
I thought the quadtrac was years ago but this uses half the fuel so I think it is.
Not just us that use those prehistoric drills then 😎
🤣🤣 not used anything else since 1996, had a 4m, 6m and this 8.
@@WardysWaffleAndrewWard had a 4 m then got a 6 m for each farm . Each drill cost 7k after a few mods !! Too wet to get some of our spring stuff in .. bit annoying !
I’m wondering if we should be buying another one to use for spares for our current one.
@@WardysWaffleAndrewWard that’s what we did , the 4 m got pulled apart ! To be fair Agrilink do most parts youl ever need , fan was one thing I’d keep a spare of . Maybe a roller would be handy incase driver don’t notice a bearings gone .. I did it once , not easy to see !
@@WardysWaffleAndrewWardI used to work at simba 10 years ago that company will be missed best equipment for cultivating the ground and drilling
