Only thing about 4 people in my household being positive for covid is that it's given me time to catch up on the last 5 months of videos for yourself, Phil and Gerry Happy new year to you and your family

You could get netting that would slow the wind coming into the shed, a neighbour has them and there is no looking back you can also lift them up out of the way and they stop the rain from coming in.

isn't it nice to have thm pothole roads to test out ur softride on ur loader😀😀😀 o happy new year to ye all

As a one man farmer Adrian it’s a good job you are so multi talented. A happy new year, good health and prosperity to you and your lovely family, keep those brilliant videos coming when you can find time. Keith

On our old quicke loader we had soft ride and on the joy stick there was two buttons and a little flick switch below the buttons. One worked the 3rd service and the other did nothing but the flick switch was the on/off for the soft ride. To be honest I left the soft ride on all the time and it done 4500h before needing a new accumulater. I just thought it was kinder on the tractor to just leave it on.

I have had soft drive for over 20 years and never turn it off with the grab around the yard it takes the shock out over bumps even at low speed and I have never damaged a accumulator .My taps siezed on my first few loaders the newer electric ones I have to turn off to make the loader double active.

Hi Bro,my Dad would always cover the mower bar in old oil to help preserve it from rust,soon cleans up once you start mowing next spring. Keep up the good work, really enjoy your honesty and down to earth farming. Certainly wouldn't want to farm in Ireland, can't bet the Waikato in in New Zealand 😁

Very interesting thanks

Sort ride is similar to the Citroen hydraulic suspension, sound idea behind the idea of the soft ride. Not a farmer but I enjoy your videos, good work

What a wonderful specimen of a calf to start off the new year, lovely appearance and colours and mirrors our optimism for the future- great

with the mower its a good job to power wash it and then spray it with oil all over it and put it in the shed for the winter we do it at home and its a brilliant job all u need is an air compressor and a oil sprayer

Once you have softride you'll never switch it off. The more weight you have on loader the better it works. I've had softride for 25 yrs, saves the front axle shock. And the operators back.

Great content, positive and bright as ever. The show goes on, Happy New Year.

Get a curtain from a truck trailer you can pull it across when needed and not that expensive.

Good man Adrian, Happy new year to you and the family. I always take photos with the camera phone before dismantling anything, it makes reassembly a doddle.

Job well done friend keep the great videos coming friend from Scotland 👍😀

You could put lifting door up on the shed

When u get the 20 going should make up a silage pusher for it and get a scraper for the yard be nice jobs for it

Great video Adrian and helped me a lot fitting a soft drive on my loader.

So much better having smooth ride on a loader, its a right pain in the back side without it as you know. I very rarely turn mine off on my quicke and it moves thousands bales of straw in the summer like it, only times I really turn it off is if I need to put downward pressure on the loader to push the loads up a bit or for example, lift the front axle off the ground a bit.

I'm new to this channel and have watched a few videos already and I'm looking forward to catching up on the rest Adrian is a top man and a very good farmer.He could of done many things in life.He has great hands and a great thinking brain.He is also a great father.well done

Great video

Smashing heifer calf. A good start is nice.

Hello from Moosomin, Saskatchewan, Canada. Thanks for sharing your great video’s please keep them coming

Adrian if your putting a switch in the cab for the soft-drive, be sure and put a light or a flashing light or a buzzer in too. It's very easy to forget these things are on or off when you get used to the convenience of not having to get out of the cab every time to switch it on or off.

Great man too get a job finished, no messing around, may ye have a safe calving season and a happy new year 😊

Now I know what a soft drive is, those accumulators are like the ones you used to see on the old box Citreons back in the day. I think Rolls Royce also used them. Great video.

Good man Adrian,I knew it wouldn't be an issue to you to get that sorted. Hopefully there won't be too many late night deliveries for you during calving season. Happy New year to you and the family 👍🏼

Thanks for that I willing be looking for one for my tractor

Your handy man Adrian, and you have some good hand tools whats your back ground, not just farming I am guessing, great job on the loader and spot on filming very professional, hope you had a good new year and all the best for 2022 good luck

Great video Adrian your better being safe than sorry 👍

Good to see the soft loader doing it's job, Albeit permanently! I'd imagine you'd want to be able to take the softness out of the loader when doing yard work for sure. Soft tool isn't much use! 🤣

Good work on getting the soft drive to work on the loader, you stuck at it and figured it out, the simplest way I can describe how it works is basically if you cut the pressure pipe to a hydraulic lift ram, fit a T piece to join it again, the accumulator screws into the part of the T piece thats left so it acts like a shock absorber for the hydraulic oil, accumulators need pressurised with Nitrogen depending on the application and weight they are lifting to usually around 300- 350 bar (4410 - 5145 PSI), it will give you the pressure stamped into the side of the accumulator. JCB had it years ago on their diggers, they called it SRS which was Smooth Ride System and it was unbelievable good when you drove the digger on the road.

You could try a roller door Adrian, think that might be best for your shed doorway,

Good morning Adrian,,interesting video about the loader,great to see Bailey and Hudson keeping a eye on you,and nice to see new life at the start of a new year,hope all calving goes well for you.

Your videos are so interesting and it brings me back to the years on the family farm during the 1950 & '60s. Things have really changed to hopefully make a farmer's life easier. Hope you and your family have a Happy & Healthy New Year.....................

Glad it's gliding along nicely for you. Nice work on the vid. Stay safe sir 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Maybe some roller doors might suit that side. Nice handy shed to have you wouldn’t want to lose it. Soft ride will make a big difference to the loader.

Fierce good of Hudson to give you a push in with that mixer. First class video yet again Adrian, keep them coming. Hope you and the family have a great 2022

Great video adrian. I use to drive a cat 972 loading shovel .the easy ride could be turned on to automatic and as soon as I went above 10mph it would kick in . It's a great job

Yea accumulators do look like Citroën and Bentley ones happy new year Adrian an family an all subscribers 👍👍

You should put a wind curtain like a blind pull up and down on that shed Happy New Year Hope it a lot better .

Great video IFarmWeFarm thank you for sharing

Soft ride is a must on a loader, some of the alo loaders were wired ready for soft ride and had a little toggle switch on the front of the joystick, also some loaders the two accumulators are different capacities one in raise and one in lower circuit, you might want to check their the right way round, if not to rusty the capacities should be stamped in them, probs 0.75l and 0.5l approx. Cheers Adrian hope this was of some use👍

Start of the busy time for you good luck with it

You can get a quicke joystick with the soft drive switch built into it. My old loader only had 1 accumulater connected to the lift pipe.

Adrian you could get shutter doors for that machinery shed. They are so handy to have

You could bolt the ratchet straps to the outside of back wall of shed and bring them over the roof and ratchet the down at the front in 3 points permanent solution for now as we would say great videos

Might I suggest when you are tidying up the loader to pull all pins and check for ware. Might not always have been fully greased.

Yay it's calving time! I love all the aspects of your videos (in part because you present it so well) but I do love seeing the calves especially, they're so cute.

You could get roller doors for the shed and make brackets for the mechanism to stand on so it doesn't strain the shed

Growing very well

Bolt a rsj into the slab each side of the poles give you a mounting point for rollers doors with the wall the other side done the same myself made a massive job

Just a suggestion but maybe some second hand roller shutter doors on the front of your shed would also help a bit with security

Roller doors would be an ideal job for that shed

We have a big shed at home with big sliding doors. One of the door runs on tracks on the ground using 3 or 4 inch diameter bearings. The doors are large enough to drive any tractor into the shed.

Galebreaker. Ah nitrogen my favourite inert gas. Love how your cows know the routine.

We run 2000 acres of ground and use 4 tractors with loaders that don't have any suspension kits on them with no issues. We run year round feeding, haying and loader work some of our tractors run 600 to 700 hrs not a problem in the world. I just don't see the benefits paying for it but to each there own. I hope it works out for you either way but I tell my customers all the time with the market and the inflation rate on the rise profits come from sustainable repeatable investments each season and toys don't usually help in that climate but if it was on the tractor when I got it I wouldn't take it off.

Roller shutters would be good but expensive for your shed Adrian

Brilliant video Adrian I have the soft yoke on our loader they are a super job I never turn mine off I never saw the weight block on your Massey it's a fine job I love your shed set up especially for calving it must make life so handy around calving time

1st video of 2022 best of luck with the channel this year now 💪💪

New life, class, thanks for the vids Adrian 👍 and happy new year

You could get a roller door for the shed they would bold onto the pillar and go straight up

Well done great video have you ever heard of downer cow syndrome just lost one on Friday she got a fall in Parlour and when lifted her she could Walk no problem but she lay down couldn't get up happy new year 👍🚜

Your soft ride is connected into both the up and down circut the accumulator with the tap is on the up circut and busted thats why when u swapped it around it works but you cant turn it off

Another good video Adrian, Happy new year to you and the family 👍🏻

Great video again Adrian. U needed more than a soft drive. On them roads u on.👍

Great detail videos improving all the time nice healthy calf Keep up the good work

Hi you could hang gates (2/3/4 gates) and put stokboard on the gates on the front of the shed.

We had a 105x with a quickie. Paint faded on that one as well. Happy New Year!

Very good

A thing I do to stop night calving is too feed them before I finish in the evening so they’ll eat during the night and won’t bother calving at night

roll up wind breakers would be ideal in that shed great video

Fair play to you as always Adrian, great job. The netting would keep alot of wind out of the shed I'd say. A very happy new Year to you and your lovely wife and family. A credit to you 👏.

I enjoy that video like all of them

Check out faster hydraulics couplers Multifast coupler. 2 port coupler. Makes taking the shear grab off really easy and quick. Fitted one to our loader years ago. Fit one to bale squeeze aswell.

Great video Adrian, never heard of a soft drive before handy yoke.

You can get sliding doors made that will be on rails that will slide over the whole shed and just go past eachother

Roller door be best job for your shed put them on shed similar we lost milking parlour roof and cubicle shed in that storm in 95

Great video Adrian, best wishes for 2022

I never realised you could fit them on those loaders, I'm going out now to see if I have fittings on mine.

Happy new year Adrian and family. Hope Elena is feeling better

Great job Adrian, soft drive makes it so much easier on man & machine. We have it on a similar Quickie / MF loader here for over 10 years. We rarely switch it off. Only time might be loading sand or muck where you are pushing hard into the load. Never had a problem with the accumulator failing. Happy New Year to you and yours.

Massy gowing well

Great addition to a loader. On a bumpy road could save a concussion😂

My only suggestion is to paint the loader. Pink is not very appealing. Nice matching red would be sharp and that’s what I like about your farm is everything is neat and clean. Great job!

Lovely video as all ways 👍🏻

Grate video as ever many happy returns to you and your family. Hopefully calfing goes well .how many ate you going to calf for now best of luck 👍

U could maybe put roller doors on the shed

Curtain sider of an artic trailer on a rail for the open shed

Pozdrowienia z Polski. Dobra robota

Long time follower first time poster. I hope you and your family had a lovely Christmas and new year. It’s great to see such well looked after Animals,machinery and farm.

happy new year Adrian all the best for 2022 we will be watching for you. Best wishes with all your calfing , hope they are all healthy.

You need a good machinery shed Adrian. This machinery is to expensive to stop out side . Somethinnk you can park your tractors under has well.

Happy new year to you and your family Adrian great video 👍👍👍🤣🤣🤣🤣

the way hudson was looking at the cement mixer ..it looked he was expecting his food to come out of it

Hi Adrain, happy new year to you and the whole family. Great videos, keep up the good work! Regarding your shed issue, i feel the span is too wide for roller doors, but feel a pair of sliding doors would work very well. You will need two full length tracks, so one door slides across in front of the other. Only disadvantage is that you can ever only have half the shed open! Perhaps you might consider joining a new shed on to the front? More space for machines and the new doors would serve both! Or side entry!

How do you find time to do the video’s, when I was on the farm I didn’t have a minute to myself and only managed a hobby after I had left the farm, Thank you for your time and effort it’s very much appreciated.

Nice one Adrian, great to be fit to fix your own machinery, happy new year to you and your Family!

Great vids Adrian 🙂
