Great to see an old tractor still doing a good day's work. Doing the same job as a new one, but at a fraction of the cost.

Brings back memories for me . I cut a lot of acres with a KM22 1977/78 . Used to do 3 to 3.5 acres an hr with smallish tractor (Ford 4000 ) . Later Ford 6600 almost too big for it . Then we had Taarup 305 with conditioner .

I really like how you prioritize your family. Well done. Its also obvious you care about your farm, not just using it up. Stewardship. I wish more people would think like that.

Would be interesting to work out how many litres per acres you use with small out fit and compare with a big out fit?

Awesome video as always ritchard. That’s one hell of a crop of grass mate. Always enjoy mowing videos, so keep um coming. Fantastic to see so many different plants in one place, even if some of them are weeds. Thanks for sharing mate.

Would a chain harrowing have helped break it down more as the rotor spreader has a habit of throwing chunks out

KM 22 was a great mower, I used one for years and still do. Lovely hum from them. I think the belts need to tightened a small bit. New drum Mowers are just not made the same anymore. Nice work funky.😁🤙

Richard, I had a Km22 for 20 years....best mower I ever had, so easy to run and fantastic clean cut. Keep it going or buy a new one not a disc. Great channel so honest.

The massey 100 and 200 series are my favourites! Woukd far rather watch videos of the older tractors than the new ones! Did you put a rear window on the cab? Didn’t think the cabcraft cab came with a window? Also what happened to your doors?

@willpp9999 2 жыл бұрын

All you need is a couple of Clydales grazing on your land and your farm land would be perfect , a few old ewes , nothing would go to waste , your farm would be a paradise for wildlife n butterflys etc ,these experts arent always right Richard lol

Sounding a lot better this time cutting grass. When the boys get older you might be a lot cheaper spot spraying the thistles and docs if you can send them out with a backpack sprayer or something similar

Lovely lot of hay there, a lot more farmers cutting for hay this year too, seen a lot of fields cut and the grass looks a lot drier than it would for silage. I am also wondering where the hell the years have gone with my 2, Amy going upto year 10 in September and Les into year 7 just like Harry, is Jack in Year 9 or going upto year 9?

Your ground is also a huge sequester of carbon, as the organic matter will be so high as they are old leys. If you did one of these carbon footprints, I guarantee you are more than carbon natural. It’s what we’ll all end up being payed for in the future, scary but we’ll probably end up making money from “carbon farming”

How many acres do you farm Richard?

@thefunkyfarmer 2 жыл бұрын

about 120

@glennlingard7851 2 жыл бұрын

They do bloody well for 120 acres, remember there’s two families living off that but the key thing is the fact they milk, on a small acreage it just shows you milking cows can support them, you’ll also understand that they manage with what they’ve got for tractors and machinery rather than spending on expensive new fancy equipment, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that🙂
