LOVE the cow audience. That is how I always feel backing a trailer up (not a farmer :) )

Thanks for sharing again Tom !! Have a great day !!

As a hay an straw merchant I would say that looked lovely green hay good for the horse job. Good bid Tom look forward to the next one

Good to see it a bit damp there Tom at last! Good grass growing weather! The warrior will be happy.

I LOVE how the calf's are watching u

Nice video tom nice to see the calfs doing well and the old mans a legend with the trailer keep it up guys 👍

Great video as always the cows were fascinated as was I ,keep the videos coming and Happy Farming

Tom, practice reversing the dolly trailer with your manitou the 4 wheel steering makes correction much easier. It's the only way we do it now!

Brave man your dad taking that load along the road and as for that knob overtaking him great vid as usual

If u hook them on the front it’s more responsive when ur moving it, makes it a lot easier but a bit more effort

Awesome vid Tom, keep up the good work👍, Ollie

Good vid Tom 👍🏻

Hey Tom! Just a suggestion you mention about an unwell cow feeding off the hay over other forage, try feeding quality straw typically that's what ours will favour (for the fibre) helps with overcoming acidosis :)

Hi tom your spoiling us 2 strawberry blondes for the price of 1 vid 😂😂😂 love the vid and how close u and your dad are ☺☺☺

Great video Tom,

Tom loved your vlog today 🚜🚜

4 wheel drive lol . But well done Dad awesome job. Great video keep them coming

Those type of trailers are fun to reverse. The rigs I used to drive round the airport carrying bags had those sort of trailers. Reversing one was ok but when you had 3 in a row it was impossible.

great video as always well done.

Your Dads reversing is second to none,,

Good to see it 😎

Top tip for you: when reversing that trailer it's easier to turn the tractor around and drive it, only if you have a hitch at the front of course

It’s a dolly trailer tom 🤙🏻keep up with the good stuff

He makes backing up this beast look easy!

Loved to see longer videos

Your not the only one that struggles reversing those trailers Tom, we used our manitou to move it around the yard, seems slightly easier with 4 wheel steer

Used to deliver small bales of hay & straw for a living, around 700 bales on a load, of nothing else it kept you fit 👍

I was raised calling them hay wagon and hay wagon steerable. Means it has a pintle hook with pivot from axle. They take major for thinking/planning with small movements.

Love ur vids

Enjoyed 👌

Dolly steer or turntable hitch. If you have a hitch on the front it makes pushing the dolly so much easier. I do it with a Traction engine.

Yup it's a 4 wheel rully/dolly, great to tow, a bitch to reverse, hitch it to the front of the towing vehicle much easier. Some of those bales looked like west yorkshire puff balls, a bit slack on the bands. When we used to bale them they were tight and heavy, and as with straw they were stacked cut edge out on the trailer.

I have always just called them hay wagons. and they do suck to back up, you have to remind yourself to turn the opposite way of normal trailers and it takes more movement to get the back to swing because the dolly has to swing first. hard to explain it just takes practice.

Great vid

Perfect maneuvering by the Ginger Warrier 👍👍✔✔✔👍👍🌿🌷🌿

It's hard work farming but so satisfying for sure

glad you have sum solor pannels up

This is 17 March 2021 as I write this and how cluttered and untidy everywhere looks then to now . Having travelled to many farming areas in different countries England has the most rundown, dilapidated and clutterd farms so it 8s good to see how much your f@rm as improved.

Great video

In the upper Midwest we'd call it a tongue steer wagon, but ours have spindles and tie rods

We’ve got a whole shed full of round and small hay bales for bedding more than anything bc we cut horse paddocks for free which makes it lots cheaper than straw

Love ur vids from Ireland

In NA, if it has a front axle that turns, two pivot points, it is a wagon. If it hooks directly to the tractor, with one pivot point, is a trailer. Axle count is typically by the rear axle(s).

I've always known them as turntable trailers a dolly is a fifth wheel on a single axle to move hgv trailers.

Nice driving

In Canada there is a difference between a trailer and a wagon. You have a wagon because of the front axle which turns. Cheers

nice video tom. but is there a spring on that trailer?

Grate video tom😇😇

I always saw a big difference in the calves that ate a lot of hay compared to the ones that didn’t. Much stockier look to them

Just a little hint if your able to. But if you hook it to front of the tractor its very simple to back it up. (Tractor going forward)

We just call them 4 wheelers got quite a few like that one. They are fairly easy to reverse once you get the hang of it. Just go out into a field with an empty one and have a play around.

Great vid mate. BTW it's a dolly trailer

Its a dolly/boggie trailer Tom. Great vid

Tom what u want to do if u have move it . It makes it a lot easier if you hich on front of the trailer you will be able to move it no problems give it a go and u will be surprised how much easier it is to put were u want it.. it does help then u will get better at reversing it.

First comment, like and view! Tom your wrong its a dolly trailer, but it is a double axle trailer aswell! Great video Tom!

That car passing your dad was an eager beaver. Almost clipped the oncoming vehicle. I would call it double axle. It’s got two.

Tom it’s a articulated trailer 👍🏽

It's a fifth wheel steering trailer if it has pivot point in front axle only. Four wheel steer includes rear axle steering with front axle... Hope that makes sense.

i like looking on youre farm from the sky because i can see how its changed , correct me iff im rong but the shed youre standing on top of the bales where the calfs are , that used to be the old silage pit ?

It’s a drag trailer I have a forty ft one it’s easy to reverse the back of the trailer follows the back of tractor

Nice

Yeah we call it a dolly over here Tom and I'm worse than useless at backing one right, but fair play to the ginger warrior again:):)

Now that the trailer is empty, this is the time for you to practice reversing it.

You mentioned about the holy and it being an old wife's tale, it'd be cool to do a video on that subject and what other farmers can add to it in the comments :)

What you call the trailer must differ depending on where in the world your are. I would've said that a dolly trailer has a dolly that can be removed and put on the front of another. The trailer you emptied I know as a turntable trailer or a "pigguva trailer" because it's a pigguva thing to reverse.

My dad and mowe Road Grass in. Australia andThey are easy to reverse I can do it a 13 years

Ya my pollie cows rather hay than silage but we dont like giving them hay after calving because it kinda drys them up

Passing them back and forth can't be the most efficient way, surely. :)

What are the things hanging off the shed roof and can u do a video of you doing the silo pit please also I think the its a articulate trailer

Dolly trailer!!😂

Question. Can you do blog about pest control how you control the rats. On the farm Thanks Martin

One you get the hang of revesing a dolly trailer it is real easy

How many tractors have ye and what make are they

Whats the dry bushes hanging upsidedown from the roof of the shed

Tom it is a turn table trailer they normally have a mind of their own

yer father is a good poilot ....hats off to him ....

Hi tom wat is that tractor in with the straw cause it looks really nice and tidy

Dolly trailer😆👍🏼

Love to know the music tracks playing in the background.

ITS AN "A" Frame trailer bloody horrible things to steer but as you said they track lovely behind you.

Think of the front axle as a little trailer and you''ll be able to back it up.

them trailers are easier to push them witht the front of the tractor or with a laodall 4 wd tractors dont turn sharp enough

It's a dolly trailer or we sometimes say floating axle trailer

whats the holly hanging from the roof in the hay barn for?

This was just a hay wagon were I grew up. They all had double axles. Most ha a back rack on them. And they are a devil to steer because you need to do the reverse of what's intuitive and well in advance as it seems to take forever for the steer to transmit to the back wheels. You should set up some pillons topped with tennis balls in a pattern out in the harvested wheat or hay field and have a contest to see who keeps the most balls and who 'jack-knifes' the best - or, rather worst. I've driven this combination since I was 5, driving it down between the rows of bales on the field as my older brothers loaded the hay onto the wagon( someone put it in gear, released the clutch and set the throttle before jumping off the 5 miles per hour tractor). I had to hold on to the steering wheel and jump off the seat with both feet onto the 'locked together' clutches to get them depressed to stop the ol' International as I was too light to just step on it. By the end of my 14th summer, I was so good at it that my older brother or mother would drive in from the field and then leave it to me to back it up next to where the elevator rested on a 50 gallon drum, to unload it. Dad was best at it, though he admittedly wasn't a farmer and worked full time of the farm. But, he was the one we had to wait to for, if we busted up anything so badly that it needed welding to fix it. Knocking that drum and tipping the elevator, electric motor and all into the mud was one of the easiest ways to create work for Dad. While it did get you noticed, it didn't do anything to make you popular.

I believe it a double axel hay wagon because how swivels on it axel and tire don't move but the movement is from the tongue. But it looks to me asif it were drawn by horses at one time but don't know.

In the states we call those 4 wheel wagons

Impressive reversing looks like only one shunt

It is a dolly trailer Tom 😉

What is all that stuff piled up on the ground next to the silage?

Why did you have to drive around first? Is it a different place?

Hi Tom. Why are ye opening the silage pit ? It’s only August 🤔

Tom why so many cars at the farm 😛🇺🇸🐝

Tom it's a Dolly trailer we got a 40 footer one

👍

hi tom it is called a dolly trailer but double axle trailer as well free baseball cap would be lovely

when you ever again have to reverse those trailers just turn it around und but something like a towingbar on your traktor and attach it at the back hitch of the trailer and than steer by hand on the shaft while the traktor is just pushing its then just licke you driving forward only disadvantage is that you need 2 persons and when your trailer doenst have a hitch at the back,then you just have bad luck ;D sorry for the bad english im from germany

Hi tom what kind of a drone do u use

think of it as driving a B double truck tom or play a bit of farming sim and you'll soon get the hang of it, I learnt to reverse a trailer on it

A frame trailer Tommy boy lol
