Harry’s a GOOD farm manager, I think he should dock your pay for the fertiliser spillage. It’s the only way to teach an Old dog a new trick. Hit him where it hurts, in his pocket.

Good to see the spreader at work. Should do for years to come

You need a clamp on mirror to put on the back of the spreader then you can see down in there. Farmer engineering. You're definitely right about the size for your farm. It's easy for people to tell you to buy the big one because they don't have to pay for it.

I admire your passion for your lifestyle, and the very honestly held opinions you share with “us” town-dwellers.

Hi richarrd congrats with this new kit you bought, we alse got a vicon spreader at home they are great relieble machines, as a tip i would give is before storing it in winter you could take op the viberglas hopper als give it a good clean with the pressure washer and let it dry after that give the metal a good coat with a mix of oil and diesel and it wil last even 1 more time longer. Crack on with te good job

Richard definitely isn’t a person for machinery but that doesn’t matter, the cows pay the bills and that’s where it matters.

Put a small mirror on the back wall,so you can see fertilizer.

Cant go wrong with a wagtail spinner good to see you enjoy it .those big twin disc spinner probably cost 3 times more not cost efficient on a small dairy farm

Nice video richard 3 pointers i would make though ALWAY'S remember to turn that PTO off.. spin your headlands first and third check the width of that spread think youll find its throwing further than you think dont need too much overlap..i know its new and things take time to get used to.. but what a great little spreader that wagtail is and harry is going to make a good farm manager keep the good videos coming 👍👍

Best of luck with the new spreader on the farm 👍👍

Lucky you getting rain. Had nothing in west Cornwall

Good time to grease the front axle when the front end is light. And don’t forget the dab of Vicks vapour rub between the bags, just to be on the safe side….. My Bad 😬😄😇

You should have got a rain cover for it can spread when wet no wet ferto r blockages

Rich why not try slurry between the 1st and second cut and leave the fert in the shed till 3rd cut😊

When you said about you have got to be careful if have got cuts on your hands, it reminded me of one summer I was on shop duty down at the allotment trading hut and it was a very hot Sunday morning so I striped off my T shirt, and someone came in and wanted some Lime which I had to weigh up as we didn't have any on the shelves so I opened a 25 kg bag and shot it into the metal bin where we kept the open bags in, unfortunately I got some of it in my belly button hole and boy did that burn had wash it out from the water tank the front of my jeans looked as though I had pee myself.

Nice spreader. What model is it? I bought the Kubota colored version of the Vicon. VS 600 base unit with hopper to be a VS 1000, has 2,200 lb capacity. I believe the Vicon base unit is 604 and the hopper makes it a 1004 with 2,200 capacity. Yours looks a little bigger? I’ve had good luck with mine. All the best… 👍

Every farmers different Rich I'm a small acre dairy farm like you I've got 295 acres machinery wise it's what best works for you😊

Nice new fertilizer spreader. Thanks for explaining what you are doing. Do you have any trouble getting parts for your Mccormick tractors?

You could also mount a "reversing camera" on the rear of the cab tilted down to the spreader. They are cheap now and it may also be usefull for other jobs. lace it on a bracket and then you could move the camera to the loader and you can see more there also when doing loader work. Could have a simi permant loom on each location and then Plug and Play.

Glad you have had some rain, we are entering our 7th week without any rain.

Really like the channel. Harry's farm and this. Id like to see more about the cattle and milking

You could put small convex mirror to see inside the spreader

Hi Richard and Harry, That looks good much better job, By the way i take it you will be watching pop master on TV now. You take care and stay safe,

Brilliant to see herdsman Jack doing the stuff with the cows. WRT to the spinner, just the job for your operation. I would suggest, start on the headland facing your work, PTO on, set the revs, start driving and then open the valve as after you leave the headland and you won't lose so much fert on the headland.

Here in Devon they forecasted thunder showers friday, saturday, sunday ,monday.........and all we had was a bit of light rain for a couple of hours saturday morning that you hardly needed a coat on for and now wednesday it's boiling hot 28c so yes it's difficult this time of year getting grass to grow.......it looks much greener with you than it does here as we graze our fields and mow them there just burning off now. could be serious if we don't get some real rain soon

"some blokes have already done double baggers but thats an other story" lmao your not wrong there.

No issues for the mcormick lifting 2 ton. Loader acts as a front weight.

One of your funniest videos Rich; maybe write on the body with an indelible marker to remind you which way open/close is. It will be a while till you use it again and you will forget.

Has it dissolved nicely now Rich look after that sparkling new spinner

We didn’t have any rain in Plymouth

With a new machine you have a different routine with the opperation, but you will soon get used to it.

Theve used plastic ties to stop people nicking the lynch pins, as for the top link pin, there all like that now, piss poor but it works.

I do believe you have had some rain ........still no rain here for weeks

You tried Harry but bless him, he's set in his ways, but getting ever closer to retirement

🎉 we had rain!!

I hope you got the rain😊👍👍

Love the wellies

What a cowboy haha

You need to check your spread width, I recon you are fertilizing the hedge rows.

Have you brought a tanker?

Have you checked length of that pto shaft when it is in work position, looks a bit long to me, be a shame to damage tractor or new spreader

They should put a seed of grass in every fertiliser ball

Great videos crack on

Hi Richard who do you sell your milk to here in denmark arla have just put there price per litre they pay the farmers down by 10 p the farmers are not happy and the price in the supermarkets has gone up so some one is making a nice fat profit.

when was the last time your fields were ever slitted

2900 i think you need to be a bit more central to the field its flinging the seed thirder harrie felt it

did your spreader come with a cover, it should have, you don't need to get the fertilizer wet then try to spread it

Did it rain that night?

Storms ....

We love your singing; Hazza is brilliant but most of all we like your cock ups and the fact you don't take yourself seriously - Crack On! - Hell of a crop of grass😂

You should learn how to operate lt properly before you start 🤔

Why do you empty the Lagoon and spread it on the land would it not save you buying all the fertilizer

If the fertilizer is so toxic and dangerous what does it do to us consuming it through cows milk 🤔 ????

👍

Hi you need a cover from clonmel covers

Hi you never done a coverage of making your hay that you cut with new mf mower

Way don't you go round the feeld twice then go up and down

First

be loosing seed in the hedge

🇨🇮🇨🇮👌👌👍👍🙏🙏

😁😆😅🤣

Embarrassing
