Farming Youtubers

If a lad was smart, with using tax allowances and depreciation, on a herd of his size to water down net profits on paper , you could easily qualify for farm-assit our family income supplement, especially with 5 kids...

Down the line when the kids hit collage age you'd nearly have to be doing the above to get the suzie grants, and free fees, our otherwise mortgage the place given what it costing to get kids through collage now

Is Dyna-4 generally a better transmission that Dyna-6?

It would make a bit more, but it wouldnt cover the cost of the loader and tyres though, which was likely about €6000.

I see an original looking one on DD for 9k at the minute.

The online thing must be driving the demand alright.

Nice clean one down below that one:

Would capital allowances not be looked at and come to your disadvantage if going for such supports? My kids aren’t even ten yet and between the farm and both of us working I’m dreading college expenses already

The shed doesnt make sense to me for a few reasons.

For a man who keeps his machinery fairly spotless, an aweful lot of it is left out in the weather.

He has said that he isnt putting a shed up at the moment as the price of building materials has gone up. I find it a bit odd tgat he wouldnt spend the money on a shed after spending so much on machinery.

Anyone else see that he has slso sold his tractor powerwasher, so there must be something else coming in its place

I saw him pull out the JFC bale bin, anyone else use them?

I priced it roughly at €400. Might look a bit tidier than bagged up wrap but I'd have a few other places to put 400 quid.

i see adrian got a mention from Tom Pemberton yesterday on how he feeds with the shear grab.

We make/use over 600 bales a year. We have a frs plastic bin, we use that for netting, we got 4 pallets, two each side held up with a stake and against a wall and made a little section for to throw the plastic. When plastic collection collection time comes, simply drive tractor and grab into stack and pick up the plastic.

There are much cheaper ways than buying a bale bin, such as making up a square pen from pallets or using an ibc tank (drill a hole at bottom to let water out)

Are they that well regarded?

They are limited enough TBH. With a disaster of a hi/low torque that meant nearly all of them are bolted/welded in high.

85hp in a 4cyl non turbo, with 4 gears in the high range leaves them restricted in what they can do

Its been mentioned a few times alright but that's probably a hint at companies to get in contact about it (the beauty of YouTube) for the area that's currently dug out with current material prices it wouldn't cost alot extra unless he's planning on knocking the current shed and rebuilding it all as one.

Its just mad so much investment on machinary yet rubber mats need replacing he maintains. (another hint dropper)

Yea a tidy one like that with that cab are making good money. Torque is an issue with them but managable with what a 85hp tractor will be doing.

They are a great yard tractor I think and very fast on the road.

Not sure if this is meant to be directed at me?Strange you quote me when other posters have been a lot more critical, Quite a bit to address here.

For a start, You've already contradicted yourself. " Remember though it's the views that count so make sure to not click on our video's as then you'll be back supporting us again and we wouldn't want that" followed by " Unless you're funding our purchases I don't see why it should concern you". So are clicks funding you or are they not?

I never for one second said i thought i could do better, Nor have i any ambition to put myself in front of a camera.

There's quite the difference between not having an interest in your posting and "not being able to stand to see us moving forward and have to hide in places like these to feel better about yourself". Not everyone is going to agree with what you're doing, and you have to be able to deal with that.

But you may get off your high horse there for a second, Bar one clip regarding a tragic incident of late, I haven't seen many examples of you using your profile to help others who have been bullied, But as I don't pay attention to your videos of late, I stand to be corrected.

Thanks for the life advice, But as I said, I bear no hatred to you, Far from it.Now for some advice of my own, Your success is very much based on public opinion, and little outbursts like this don't help your case. Maybe take a look at how another prominent youtuber on this thread carries himself.

I should point out I meant to add in my last post that i think all of us would take advantage of any gifts/ sponsorship would if we were offered the opportunity. But my point stands, And I'm not just referring to you when I say this, there is very little transparency in the industry, and It often leads to people taking reviews as gospel not realizing the reviewer is being rewarded for providing the "unbiased" review. People aren't naive fella and it doesn't take a genius to realise these "does anyone have a recommendation for..." are an open invitation to work with you

Feel free to address anything I've said here or by P.M

All the best

Joe

Not to worry lad, I wont lose any sleep 🤣

Have to say I'd admire anyone that puts themselves out there on YouTube.

You'd definitely need something extra to be able to do so.

Well done on all your achievements to date @IFarmWeFarm7615 and wish you luck for the future. The same goes for @farmerphil135. You're both the go to look at in this household. The two of ye are both very relatable.

Ifarm you've done a lot of work in a few short years. Or it seems that way. We all know it takes sacrifices to do so. Well ware on the new purchase too.

Nothing else I suppose only keep the clips coming Phil and Adrian. You're YouTube glitterati at this stage.

Yeah , just turn it upside down when recycling. Cut the plastic drum below the outside cage and it will turn upside down onto the cage and then you can lift the drum again. One with the drum taken out altogether would work too and it might not hold water then, Must try that.

In fairness he's been posted about non stop since this thread started. You could say obsessively so. And not all nicely either.

Phil was the same, hence why he felt the need to reply here as posters think they don't read here or probably get a kick of thinking what their reaction will be when they do.

I can see where Adrian is coming from. It's all just built up is all.

They're both well able to post for themselves and welcome along to both if I didn't do so to Phil before.

Posters here need to get over themselves too and think what are they at and why and is it necessary and if not why are you doing so.

Ya, I'd say poor Joe just got the backlash when he wasn't really a culprit. Adrian is new here and should have created a new post instead of reply so that's understandable for me. There is a couple of anonymous posters on here obsessed with Ifarmwefarms business. And alot of them have a low number of posts.

I enjoy your videos from the start Adrian. Milking about 75 cows myself and it's loads for me. I often feel inferior when teagasc, farmers journal, co-ops keep telling us how 1 man can manage hundreds of cows, huge stocking rates, highly profitable, blah, blah, blah. I'd be flat out at spring calving here and it's great to see you come on and say how busy you are and that the whole thing is actually hard work. Young family myself too and I'm trying to put the work ethic into them too like yourself.

Keep up the good work.

Wait till Wangler comes along and says Adrian just joined to have a go at him.
