Farming Youtubers

Enjoying Crawford farms videos for the past few months. He's a great speaker and a good mix of content.

He's a Scottish tillage and beef farmer.

Dear Santy.

I do be bringing 24 bales of straw stacked like that on the trailer except it takes me half an hour to strap down before I hit the road every time. The six bale long version or even seven bale long and a 50k tractor and you'd be in heaven.

The version above looks to be well made. Lithuanian I think.

Elsewhere I see @farmerphil135 with the fingerbar mower. Good man Phil. 😂

6 layers if I remember right, bear in mind now that was September third cut stuff that was baled early in the morning so there was a damp dew involved.

30 stacked ( on their flat ) and 25 left standing on there edge. When they were opened the stacked bales clearly had effluent in them ( bit sour too I thought ) vs zero effluent in the others. Same field same day.

But stacking does save a lot of room and seems to work well for a lot of others so the best advice is to ask about and see what others with more experience think firstly.

I’ll certainly stack them again as it was only my first experience.

Be also interested in hearing what others do and there thoughts

Walking around the Tullamore show yesterday, my dad and I were looking at a lemken disc harrow, I said I think its the same model Farmer Phil has. Then I realised the man himself and Liv was standing around 20 feet from us! I wasn't going to say hello as Phil was getting a lot of attention and some younger kids wanting selfies, and they all got their pics. Glad I did say a brief hello, two lovely people.

Tullamore show was full of sheep u tube men..sheep school/ ewe tube..and will from cowley hill farm.was judging the lleyn classes..should be a few interesting videos up on the next while

I only discovered Sheep School recently, its a great channel. That was a fantastic video fixing the wheel on the baler, the man is gifted.

See famer phil with demo MF 5s tractor - priced one at local show just recently ( nice but a lot of money)

Cousin was quoted €117k inc vat for 5s145 with loader last year has probably risen since.
