Why would any farmer allow permission to film the awful feet The Hoof GP gets to treat. Wouldnt you be ashamed to let an animal go that far before calling the vet or hoof man in. He's another one for silly thumbnails and baiting titles I don't watch anymore.

The fellow who never uses bait titles, the silly thumbnails to catch attention are pure and appreciated by their 6 followers.

The places he goes to tend to be very large and I'd say cows are on concrete more than ones here.

When you have a 1000 cows you are well past caring about being ashamed.

I haven't watched his channel with over a year. I wondered how good he was. A lot of what he was showing was fairly routine stuff. Anything tricky he used have bother curing. He seemed fixated on iodine and didn't bandage where and when he should have.
He used to go through massive numbers of cows in a day. Bandaging and all that takes time and there's no way anyone would go through cows like he was if he had to put time into the chronic cases that he came across.
Also, i thought a lot of his subscribers weren't farmers, with respect to them, most of them wouldn't know what they're looking at.

I see phil has bought himself a MF 185 square baler. Fair play to him, his hard work is paying off and is a very clever investment.

leoch · 27-06-2021 03:08PM

How's it a clever investment

leoch · 27-06-2021 04:31PM

Unless he takes an iron gate post into it and destroys it, it'll never depreciate.

There's a fella ,Olly Blogs , doing daily vids i do find interesting. He is running his channel to service the payments on his new Bateman sprayer. He gave rough figures on subscribers/views and that it would be viable with I think 18k subscribers.

Mike Mitchell is on another level, talking about field size in sections (640 acres), a fendt ideal burning,82ft drills etc.

Whistlindiesel is a channel I found recently which is good for reviews/durability tests and modified vehicles.

I came across this video from 2019 from Our Wyoming Life explaining in detail how youtube pays for video content. According to the video it's not as simple as putting up a video that gets thousands of views.

Couldn't agree with you there...
I think he's an idiot of the first order.....

He is a first time farmer with a corporate background in radio. He and his wife took over the running of the ranch after her stepfather died and left it to her mother.

Very high production values, a real pro, makes sense as he comes from radio

Just remembered there was a channel run by a lad from Dublin but he was farming with a relation at the weekends in Cavan iirc. Anyone any idea what channel it might be or if it's still on the go. I remember it was interesting seeing as he was from the capital.

I see the funky farmer has had someone dump a pile of rubbish on his land. Sickening and it's not the first time.

Diarmuid B · 04-07-2021 10:32PM

Just seen Farmer Phils new video there, scandalous to see the narrow lane way he had to try squeeze down with the two mowers. Surely they should refuse the work unless the farmer has the lane widened or at least the branches cut back? And then the tree stump sticking out of the ground that they need a teleporter to lift the mower over.. shouldn’t go anywhere near that job until they’re sorted for them!

I was thinking the exact same. Don’t know who’s worse, the farmer who expects them to go down that lane or the Stewart’s for taking on the job year after year.

A run of a hedge cutter or a jcb to remove that stump would go a long way

Nekarsulm · 05-07-2021 12:19AM

Came across a lad witha channel called Franklin County Forage, which seems interesting.

He got the mower wedged one year. It's in a video. I don't know how many hours they lost!

Lads like him think things like this is normal hardship is there middle name, i know a big tillage farm near me he was asked why had he two combines not a large one he said for transport monuverability time he works better with the two.

Think it says more about them and the way they work. If they are cutting that field year after year would they not do something about the stump and not waste time having to go and lift the mower in and out with a machine and man wasting time.

Makes for a great video though which it's all about!

We don't know all the details. The farmer they're cutting for may only have a ROW along that route.
You're a great man for knocking lads!

I'd agree. There's usually a reason for everything, might'nt be a good one but a reason all the same.

For sure. They aren’t afraid of a bit of rooting and tearing but they sure as hell aren’t idiots. There is no way Father Phil wouldn’t have that cut back if it was possible. ROW I’d imagine and plenty of them have awkard clients along them.

endainoz · 05-07-2021 10:57AM

You'd nearly think they'd offer to run the hedgetrimmer on it for free just to make it handier. I guess the fancy pottinger one they had on hire wouldn't have as much of a problem though. There was fair pressure on his mirrors too.

Gillespy · 05-07-2021 11:11AM

It looked a big field at the end of that narrow road so not as easy to turn down. Ten foot trailed mowers are a pain on a lot roads. A nine foot would fly down roads like that.

At least the place where he wrecked the front mower last year was tidied up a bit.

Often heard Phil saying that they do all contracting services except hedge cutting. You can be sure there's a valid reason why they haven't sorted that stump and the hedges.
