Farming Youtubers

I agree. Rabbits on about stuff like he’s an expert but he’s not.
they should have had the contractor in with the triples and harvester right behind it. They’ve a woeful pit of shite now and he’s making 4 videos out if it all too

Jeez mowing through a flood, I have to watch that to see what the eejit is at... cha ching... another click on his channel! Its when the people aren't talking about him he'll start losing money

He'll need it in fairness, probably looking at 600 pounds a day of a loss for the 100 odd days he'll be feeding it out in lost preformance/health issues and extra meal needed to make cows milk of that silage, if its even feedable, clamp losses could be 30% plus

I didn't watch Tom P in ages but he strikes me as a hard worker, also very open and honest. They are working with challenging ground and sure haven't we all got caught with weather on wet ground more over.

I think he's doing a great job taking over from the old lad and developing the place. He never even bought himself a car but saved his money for more important stuff I think.

His old lad never did much farming. He always had a farm manager and when he quit Tom said he'd take over the farm managers job. The old lad likes his pints and collecting classic cars. Nothing wrong with that but I wouldn't say farming was his priority. I remember he often reminiscences about losing a fine farm due to a family dispute. Not sure of the full story.

But..... Ya, fair play to Tom.

He was one of the originals on Youtube and an inspiration for some on this side of the water in setting up their Youtube channels.

Not all as it seems - a bit too coarse

Am I the only one that finds Sam Shutt Farming disturbing? The husband just creeps me out. Even the kids seem afraid of him.

tom p wife is well able to flash her bit at geezers with her fitness videos

i worked up around that part of the world on big broadband installs. Lovely part of the world alright and nice people. North of england people are very similar to ourselves.

She didn't have to stoop that low... not a prude or anything but don't find that attractive.

Had time for farm theory until I seen him pulling grass away from the front of the harvester while it was running. For a clever fella that's fecking brain dead

I’m sure it can be permanently disabled in the software, in another video he is walking around outside for a good while and you can see the harvester running in the background so it obviously doesn’t cut out.

I'm not gone on it as a feature to be honest, always shutting stuff down every time you get out is a pain (obviously not getting down to mess with the thing that’s running like he did) and then some implements you might need to run when outside e.g. pto power washer or cement mixer.

Thanks, that sounds user friendly enough and easy to override. Our tractor is from a few years before this feature was introduced so I haven’t experienced it. We do have the mudguard activation etc.

sorry but don’t agree. Be lost without the button the mudguard

You could fall out of the tractor and break your neck. A million ways to get hurt on a farm. It's not difficult to stay a safe distance away from the pto shaft. No business being in there at all as far as I can see. Have your covers right and the danger is minimal to none.

I was just going to say the same about pto covers and chains. If you have these correct, along with some common sense, the chances of getting harmed are minimal.

You can't do this on most tractors since the mid 2000's (or any I've driven anyway) as you have to press the clutch when starting same as a lot of new cars. Great safety feature even with kids etc.

Funnily enough this feature stops starting but with CVT/vario transmission you can actually drive the tractor from the steps since is just the move of a joystick to start/stop. Have a neighbour near us who you often see standing on the step moving the tractor out a gap or shifting it around the yard without even getting in.

You close the filling valve before you turn off the pump

Do ya do that? I'm the opposite and I'd turn off the PTO first and then close the lollipop. There's a vacuum still in the tank and it's still filling for the couple of seconds when the pump stops.

Tis mad the different routines

Neutral pump, connect hose, pump to suck, PTO on from mudguard (revs tractor too), open lollipop, twitter, pto off, lollipop down, neutral pump, hose off, pump to spread, see ya later alligator

That's the correct way.

If the chap that employed me spreading slurry 20 years ago seen me at it any other way he would say I was costing time.

Changing from spreading to filling while the pto is running is bad practice, therell always be pressure on the tank when you're changing over.

Start PTO , pump to suck, fit hose, open lolipop. When full, stop pto, wait a few seconds to allow tank to fill to top, close lolipop, remove hose, pump to neutral to release vacuum, pump to spread. Have hydraulic drive for pump on older splash plate tank so using spool valve instead of PTO on that tank.
