    Out of interest, anyone here with their own youtube channels?

    There's a few alright, if you do a search for 110-90 you never know what you might find.....

    I haven't read through the whole forum yet but just wondering are these farming youtubers suitable for children??
    We have a tractor/ farming mad 5 year old and he watches farming simulator on YouTube but i know he'd love some real-life videos.

    When you upload a video you get an option to say whether it's suitable for children or not, so I presume if you search you probably have the option of avoiding swear words.

    If the seat's wet, sit on yer hat, a cool head is better than a wet ar5e.

    The Funky Farner channel would be very suitable, as his own two lads feature a good bit.
    Few kids I know watch and love Buckin' Billy Ray Smith, a very positive, uplifting guy. Lots of chainsaw chat and action, so if you don't want your 5 year old developing an obsession with big saws .....

    Or hatchets. Talk about gifted splitting timber he is a savage at it.
    I think anyone using saws or hatchets should watch a few of his videos

    Saskdutch kid is better again them 10th generation dairyman, it's some set-up, its gas how while their intensive systems the labour is their that its alot more relaxed pace and less pressure then 99% of typical one man band irish farms

    Can't warm to him at all. Unreal place though. No expense spared by the looks of it. Canadian milk price is supposed to be good but I doubt it's that good.

    More labour but still put in long days. Andy Hourigan is up feeding cows at 3am before doing a long day driving something or in the workshop fixing stuff. 10th Generation milks at 4am and does a good day afterwards. Based on watching a lot of them, I reckon they have a better attitude to it, at least what they show on video. A lot of Irish farmers should note they don't tend to talk about ''hardship'', saying that they don't have jobs like liming cubicles or feeding a few silage bales. :pac:

    Donkey is hard to listen to some times

    Comes across as a bit of an eejit in the videos. Their main audience seems to be age 12 to 20/22. I used like them but wouldn't bother looking in over the field at them now. I know 2 people who work as sales reps/ demo machines and they both said his hard to listen too. Farm flix have good videos and stuart dubois photography.

    Not really farming.

    But there's grass fed steak, a Suzuki jimni, a Dahaitsu kei truck, kangaroos, off roading in the Australian bush, Aboriginal art and heritage and a better than Top Gear vibe off this.

    Really well filmed and narrated.

    Bought a subscription to FarmFlix recently, £52 for the year I think it was.

    Excellent content. Machinery, stock, farmyards etc. A nice bit ahead of what's free on YouTube.

    Worst thing about it is it shows you how poor Ear to the Ground is.

    I got the free trial a few weeks ago and binged on it. Really enjoyed the stockyard series and Alan clydes section. Alan showed all aspects which was brilliant to watch. From losing the heifer and two calves the one day to having to put down his neighbours ewe it was raw to watch. He made things a bit hard on himself and a few small adjustments would make life easier, but I wouldn’t feel it fair for me to criticise him. I’d admire him for showing warts and all. His father was very enjoyable to watch.
    I dunno does he read this but I can’t wait to see the sheep numbers increase!

    Really impressed with the On The Pull, nice to see something original and different.

    Your man doing it comes across well...

    Ya pretty much the only farming channel I follow on YouTube too.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,469 ✭✭✭Tileman


    Yea I got the trial on farm flix. It was excellent really enjoyable. I liked Alan and auld Tom. He showed warts abs all although he is very hard on himself. Almost dreading my own lambing after watching him.😀 he doesn’t enjoy the sheep.

    Very good content. Meant to sign up before the price increase. Forgot to. What price is it now.

    Not sure how farmflix plan on sustaining the interest long term and keep punters coming back year on year with ever increasing access to high quality free content.

    Mike Mitchell Is a YouTuber I've started tuning into lately and it's an impressive tillage operation they have in Canada with 10(?) Fendt Ideal combines and the like

    I find it hard to beat the closer to home stuff. I know what you are saying though

    I get where your coming from, people find the greatest interest in whatever they are at themselves, I think this is a big part of Grassmen's success

    Anyone find the online news media sites anygood ?
    Not sure if i can name them!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,320 ✭✭✭davidk1394


    I'm sure he was mentioned but ifarmwefarm is very good. Dairy NZ have some good videos about cow welfare and handling facilities. Temple Grandin has some very good videos about animal handling.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,535 ✭✭✭tractorporn


    Not really YouTube but this poor fella gets awful hardship. I remember him from when I worked in Mullingar and he is exactly as I remembered.

    His long draw video is hilarious and the cattle breaking out. Some of his other stuff is off the walls!

    You'd nearly be expecting Scooter to make an appearance on the next clip.

    Father that's a lovely 110-90 wherever you got it from!

    Whoever said he would use the con saw wasn't that far off.

    No, he was swift enough with the chain saw!!

    He manages to remind me of about 6 different people. The type of people who draw cheers when they enter a packed room

    I thought that was the best bit along with not calling out anyone else to participate in stuff they don't want to.
    I'd say the camera man came close to the end of the chainsaw when he swung from one bale to the other.
