Good decision going for the vicon they've stood the test of time and barely changed over generations they were the staple of many a farm when I was a lad and the testament to their longevity is the fact many of you still have the same one 40 yrs on Really brilliant to see Harry taking such a keen interest in the farm and being involved in the decision making, the farm is in good hands for the future I remember back to the farm I helped on as a boy neither of his kids were remotely interested In the farm

It will be still working long past when Harry takes over the farm! Good pick Harry!

Good old Harry,dad if you can't pronounce it,you shouldn't buy it,lol priceless

Your farm manager has made a good choice for you. Good to see you out and about ......top-team

It's great to see Harry with a big interest in farming... and he made a good point that u already have a vicon and know the working of it.. congrats on the new purchase... few dealers should jump at the chance to demo a mower for u at silage time...

Congrats on the new spreader Harry and Richard. I would bet you there will be a hell of a crop of grass!! Can't wait for mowing season.

Congratulations on the new Vicon spreader 🎉Should make the job easier with the extra capacity.Crack On!

I have exactly same model. Way cheaper than a disc machine, had it 2 years very accurate and it does hold 2 bags. Just make sure you wash it well especially underneath, poke a hose in the hole where you grease the flywheel to wash out any fert. Just 1 pump of grease but every time you wash it to push water out the bearings and should last as long.

It's always exciting to have a new piece of equipment. Gongratlations on the purchase Vicon is the way to go

I recon that a Vicon will suit you down to the ground sir. 🙂👍🏼

I know you probably bought it but have a look at REX-A Cosmo fert spreader its a Rectangular hopper model with two spreading discs equipped with three fins. Suitable for professional users, high precision over wide areas up to 12 to 35m. This specific model is produced with stainless steel and long-life resistant parts. It’s worth having a look for the future

Congrats with a new spreader, you could also get a kit for border spreading, this works great around the borders 😉

Good to see farther and son out and about, its what makes life worth living, a good bit of kit bought as well, I can see that working really well for you.

Hi Richard. Thanks 4 the content. I can't wait to see the boys working on the farm 1 day. Harry I'm sure will make a few changes..take care.

Morning Richard,nice bit of nostalgia for me, I grew up in Kilcot,later in life I became an agricultural mechanic at B S Bird in gloucester and one of my jobs was to strip the paint off the mouldboards of new ploughs and coat them with a preservative back in the day apparently it would plough better from the start. Many thanks for the memories Richard and Hazza,keep up the very interesting videos 👌👍

Glad you enjoyed your buying day

Good buy by the top team😊, well tested machine good for another 30 years 👍

Interesting shopping for the new spreader. Should be a good one.

Well done Hazza.

Best of luck with your new purchase of farm equipment 👍👍

Happy Birthday Richard - suitable present for yourself 🎂

Great video, Kubota own the vicon brand and both are the same .

Great video and great choice, happy birthday for the other day 🎂🎂😊

Like you say either or. Kubota have a good name and likely would stand by their products. But the old Vicon varispreader has been around longer than me. I was using one 45 years ago. And that wasn't new. I agree with Harry. Good choice.

Good choice Harry. Spinner will do you well Richard. Fingers crossed for some dry weather for you

Real glad to hear that the grass/moisture situation is improving for you. It will be fun to have something new and shiny to play with, looking forward to seeing it go next year.

Good spreader, great choice.

Wow. That’s cool can’t wait to c u use it

We used to put a bag and half in ours. Just cut the bag down the side to get the half.

Amazing to think 40 years on and the same model is still selling.. Has to be a record in farm machinery longevity.. I know of at least 3 farms close to me that all have the same model.. Also worth a mention is the Vicon hay bob 300 , still turning and rowing hay in many a farm to this day.. Dont fix what aint broke as the saying goes..

Nice choice of new fertilizer spreader. Shows how good they are cos it sold itself to you. Can you get a few demo mowers and tedders for the upcoming silage season? Dealers would be keen to see their machines on utube as well.

Good choice, Good simple spreaders they are. You wouldn't go far wrong buying one of them kverneland mowers aswel.......(maybe next year he says) Your so lucky your fields have dried up......... down here in Devon we've had probably 2/3 inches of rain in the last 36 hours (9th may) so wet everywhere cows poaching the fields really badly this spring

We keep pig’s Richard and would be happy to deal with you but probably a bit far as we are in Shropshire 🐷🐷🐷🐷🐷🐷

Another very interesting video Thank you

Good morning the funky farmer

You should get an adv there right handy 😉

Oh yeah. best choice 🤌

Just a thought, why not do a little refurbish the old one before selling it. Harry wants to do things like this.

You love to see it !

U should demo out a few mowers for the summer and see which brand u like or mower u like if ur thinking of buying one next year

U should try out kverneland mower aswell🤩

😁👍👍 Onward we go.

Hope we get to see a video of the vicon wagtail spread her being delivered been delivered please

If you had bought the Kubota you would only end up with letters from their legal department about the pronunciation of the brand name. lol

I have a vicon 1354 which was new 2 years ago and as you a very simply machine. the 1354 will carry 2x600 bags but won't be able to do 2 urea bags, just to let you know.

As they look both the same is there a price difference?? Looks good let's hope it lasts as long as the other one 👍

My old uncle swore by his vicon never missed a beat

You could lend your old spreader too farmer P

Harry been promoted to Chief financial control officer of New House farm. 🤑🤑

The Vintage Funky Farmer...🐕🚜🚜🚜.

Good tools are not cheap and should last a lifetime providing you look after them I bought a Man's Full Size Garden Fork in the late nineteen sixties it was a Spear and Jackson and a Full Size Garden Spade in the nineteen seventies they have moved with me to four to separate property's and have worked in all four gardens and on my old allotment plots two half plots and one full plot, washed ever time after use over wintered in the shed having had a quick run over with a medium piece of emery cloth and a spray of WD40 they still look almost new some day some lucky so and so will inherit them.

👀🙄🐾👍Go Harry

Good choice. Vicon just looks better. Plus a nice throw back to the famous name.

When the old Vicon his work good made .why a new spreader . You could money enough spread out in the fields . The high price for fertilizer is the great problem . Not the old spreader !! And a new one with electricity does the work not make easier and better !! Best greetings from East-Frisia !

New Fleming spreader and a mower next then 😂

Did you ask the price difference between the 2 spreaders as I noticed a kubota mower is about £2000 different to a vicon even though they are the same.Was wondering if fert spreaders were the same

👍👍

👍

Was there any difference in price of the kubota and the Vicon ? , you should have traded the two mowers and the Vicon and bought a new mower and spreader and put them both on finance over 3 years

👍🙂

Hello

Could interested in your old spreader

Hello when are you looking for the piglets buying them

You can sell your old ferterlizer to farmer p he hasnt got one
