Probably means nothing to majority of people, but I do like the fact that you always stand up at the end of the video, when you're answering questions/addressing the viewers (instead of sitting in comfy office chair).It's a sign of respect, at least in my opinion. Much appreciated 👍
I live in an inner city, and know absolutely nothing about farming and where our food comes from. But I'm hooked on these videos and the banter and explanations. I've since discovered other farming youtubers. Now I do know a little bit more about where our food comes from and how hard farmers work, and intend to know more. And that's down to your videos. Thanks PX farms and James.
HCW great Holiday and Happy Birthday to your old Man... Farm is in safe hands and respect to the you all and very entertaining and good to see that you can all have a good bit of Banter makes working a joy for everyone and all pulling in the same direction for the same goal.
Have a great Holiday James, & Happy Birthday to your dad. It's good to see you getting the drilling done, & it's good to know you have a great bunch of guys to carry on while you are away.
You know the jobs serious when the wheelbarrow starts getting locked up 🤣🤣 I hide tools round the farm myself which only I know where they are 🙈 at least I can find them when I need them 😂 keep it up teamPX. 🤙
Really feel for what your going through James, all you want is the seed in the ground, just remember you got to where you are today with patience, Rome wasn’t build in a day, enjoy your holiday and spend some well deserved time with the family ❤❤❤
Looking forward to seeing how the Hi lux performs. You are so right in how much safer it will be for staff rather than a quad. ( although as a teenager we used a trike - bloody deathtrap 😅
I have seen a Suzuki Jimny with a similar set up for slugs with low ground pressure tyres, although it only had one spreader. It seemed to work well and its owner reckoned it was lighter overall than a modern side by side quadbike, so left fewer wheelings.
Don't know what you're worrying about, 30 yrs ago we done all our winter Drilling in October/ November, never use to start till at least the 3rd week in September after the Newbury Agricultural Show.
Great video , go enjoy your holiday you have great team to look after all when you away, interesting to see you been in Hungary im early 90’s I was first out those parts 1991, been in East Europe mostly since then apart from 11 years based in Dubai. East Europe some great farmers and farms, So absorb the rays and look forward to next video.
Another option for slug pelleting is a KAP Suzuki conversion. They are Light weight with low ground pressure tyres. Only downside is they are petrol engines.
I also worked out in hungry with Andrew hunter , went out in summer/autumn 99. Had a couple of months managing the dairy when Simon Redfern finished! Bloody fantastic time with a very clever man. Was there first year on potatoes out there then.
Great video James and staff I thought you were Tom Lamb for a minute,then realised you had more hair another thought for a name for the shed, Dream Team Toy Shed but all your workforce, will do you proud while you’re sunning yourself,in Dubai and enjoy yourselves 👍👍
My mother’s family were farmers but she married a towny person perhaps that’s why I find your channel so interesting but I really do and live on a small island that has limited farms
Have a great holiday try and relax although that is impossible with our line of work, great video food for thought about the drills especially if you could interchange. Keep it James
Blackgrass is a major problem for us in East Yorkshire and the Humber area. Probably the main driver of drilling dates, October is normal for us, and rotations.
Great videos enjoy every one the name for your new building you say it's been a life long dream so what about calling it DREAMKEEPER just thought keep the videos coming please
We should definitely not send you if there’s a war! I saw what you did to the combine in the summer! We would be waiting for you to unblock the tank! 🤣
I trust the wheel barrow is on a full service contract with Spaldings....... The only thing missing on the mezzanine of dreams is an arm chair so the full concept can be realised. Have a good holiday and don't fret too much James
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 thanks for the info and the laughs. With regards to the new shed`s name , if you find room for Pete`s wheel barrow, why not call the shed Pete`s Palace.
Been away for a while with work with limited wifi.. I've missed these updates and looking forward to catching up on them.. Interesting to hear your thoughts on your drill selection going forward..
I think you could modify that Toyota pelleter to spread 36m to keep to your tramlines James. A winter job for your workshop at very little extra cost or weight. 👍
You say it’s becoming an issue down around Kent now. I remember in 2018 when I worked with FGS in Kent looking at fields around sittingbourne and they were riddled with black grass. That’s six years ago that it was starting to become an issue down there.
Hmm farmyard pranks.... we used to tie workers bikes to whatever they leaned against in the cartlodge, using Wire Potato sack ties 😅😅 We put the bosses sons pushbike up a tree, tied securely. While someone distracted him talking 😅😅😅 Among many other things
in Oxfordshire we are really struggling with blackgrass, but with the weather issues we have pre drill killed multiple times in the same field witch is a good think for grass weed control but with no crop in the ground it is looking a bit scary.
Pete, I love your Mezzanine of Dreams; the layout and system promotes efficient and effective business practices. TOP TIP: assess how easy it is for a criminal to use one of your tools to breach a layer of your defence. Could a trespasser pick up a battery-powered portable grinder to cut the chain you use to lock your Spalding Barrow to the structure?😢 Where do you keep your bolt croppers? Most portable hand tools are designed with a purpose in mind, but nearly all can be ‘weaponised’ by malicious actors. Lock them away to deny the bad guys an opportunity to nick your kit.
James on your blackgrass patches, have you ever thought of going around with one of your sprayer around may June time before the blackgrass drops its seeds and spray the patches off? Danny
Enjoying the videos and listening to you talk. However, it would be also good to see a bit more of the farming/machinery at work.Maybe we could hear you talk while seeing the machinery at work. Just a thought?!
excellent content as always - lovin the slug exterminator, but the wheel barrow tops totally get that if you need to use something and someone has goosed sooooo annoying have a great hols in Dubai...
Another great video. One question i have is how do you divide crops between the various farms? I assume each farm owner would prefer to diversify crop type but I assume that's not efficient for your operation (particularly given how far apart the farms are)
Rather than having the camera on james for the whole time he's talking about the drills maybe have it on the drills, we can still hear him an we already know what he looks like!
***** Star of the team this week is Pete 🎉. Taking the time to protect a critical item of equipment to prevent unauthorised use or theft is role model behaviour. Use of high quality chain with a closed shackle padlock is an excellent start. I suggest you uniquely mark the Spalding barrow, take a digital picture, and enter it into your asset register. Use a punch to ‘brand’ it or purchase a forensic DNA kit to mark all your tools.
If you've been sent to do a job, be prepared to follow yourself. Never leave anything that you couldn't sort out yourself if you had to. Then if anyone complains, you have the option of sorting it yourself or suggesting that they learn their job/get better at it. Is that not how we all learn?
You sometimes only have small timescale into October then it’s important to push on with drilling 160 acres to one man and that outfit could be easily achieved the days of holding back to get over time in it’s pointless you have to Get on struggling in wet conditions it’s not nice
Despite having an 2012 ML my dream is to buy an old squarebody or old hilux pickup 🤟🏼 no more sports cars I just simply love everything about pickup trucks 😅
I remember back in the '80s unbolting the pickup body and mounting a Vicon spreader powered by a honda engine... those toyotas were virtually indestructible, this video confirms it: -" Killing a Toyota": ruclips.net/video/xnWKz7Cthkk/видео.htmlsi=mC1XoD_ivepyffAd
A good name for the new shed would be The Depression Centre as anything stored in there will definitely be worth more when it goes in than when it comes out.

You are right, as young soldier, I was taught stand up when speaking to those you respect.

James, please enjoy your holiday, you have a great team, They will crack on and do all they can, I am sure. They clearly have a good employer too.
You have a great bunch of lads James

I think the new shed should be called "Mission Control"
good to see some drilling finally being managed.
Great video as always, have a good break, at last drilling moving on.
great video enjoy your holiday and happy bday to your dad
Great progress chaps. 👏 keep cracking on 👍
PX FARMS VERY PROFESSIONAL FARMER'S. HAPPY BIRTHDAY 🎂 FARTHER. 🤙🦊

Can you do a walk around of the tine drills grange and horsch differences
I also worked out in hungry with Andrew hunter , went out in summer/autumn 99. Had a couple of months managing the dairy when Simon Redfern finished! Bloody fantastic time with a very clever man. Was there first year on potatoes out there then.

😅 The infamous wheelbarrow!
I can't believe you haven't gotten it painted green and sign written yet.
My mother’s family were farmers but she married a towny person perhaps that’s why I find your channel so interesting but I really do and live on a small island that has limited farms
another great video james cheers
Have a great holiday try and relax although that is impossible with our line of work, great video food for thought about the drills especially if you could interchange. Keep it James
The was a time to deal with black grass and slugs wire worm and it was called swan vester and sit back and watch great bit of kit
Blackgrass is a major problem for us in East Yorkshire and the Humber area. Probably the main driver of drilling dates, October is normal for us, and rotations.
Sandy,the golden boy.
There all golden boys

The wheelbarrow reminds of Only fools and horses and the bit about the broom!
Shed-Lizzy wet patch. Pickup looks cool,reliving ur youth
I trust the wheel barrow is on a full service contract with Spaldings....... The only thing missing on the mezzanine of dreams is an arm chair so the full concept can be realised. Have a good holiday and don't fret too much James
I look forward to the video... "Petes wheelbarrow gets stolen and is held to ransom.." 😮😂
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 thanks for the info and the laughs. With regards to the new shed`s name , if you find room for Pete`s wheel barrow, why not call the shed Pete`s Palace.

Name for new shed = Peck Towers 😊
I think you could modify that Toyota pelleter to spread 36m to keep to your tramlines James. A winter job for your workshop at very little extra cost or weight. 👍
Shed name: Four Candles

"😂😂😂😂how do women find men like you attractive!!😂😂😂😂" harsh!!😂😂😂
You could call the shed ' Fendt House' Maybe?

hi james. could u please tell me the size of the tires on the hilux? how do u find it travelling on wet ground?
Enjoying the videos and listening to you talk. However, it would be also good to see a bit more of the farming/machinery at work.Maybe we could hear you talk while seeing the machinery at work. Just a thought?!
The shed should be called The Balmoral, to keep the Scottish theme going .
excellent content as always - lovin the slug exterminator, but the wheel barrow tops totally get that if you need to use something and someone has goosed sooooo annoying have a great hols in Dubai...
Another great video. One question i have is how do you divide crops between the various farms? I assume each farm owner would prefer to diversify crop type but I assume that's not efficient for your operation (particularly given how far apart the farms are)
Blimey, be careful with that at Sapperton, it's the only place I ever got the quad bike stuck!.
you need a claydon, use straw harrow for chitting weeds.job done
Gings (Neil jewel) hi lux. I remember that old blue golf
What primary tillage do you do after the potatoes crop harvest?
Rather than having the camera on james for the whole time he's talking about the drills maybe have it on the drills, we can still hear him an we already know what he looks like!
What happened to the seed trailer with the auger?🚜 💨

My birthday on the 23rd too!
Would love to see the Hilux in Action
Who made the bean drill, could you share the design details at all?
Why don’t you use a VaderStafford drill?
You sometimes only have small timescale into October then it’s important to push on with drilling 160 acres to one man and that outfit could be easily achieved the days of holding back to get over time in it’s pointless you have to
Get on struggling in wet conditions it’s not nice
If that is the real number plate it is a vw taro not a hilux probably built under license but id never heard of it before
highly likely, rare but my neighbough had one 20 plus years ago, same to look at just vw badge
whats the truck toyota ? very cool machine
Despite having an 2012 ML my dream is to buy an old squarebody or old hilux pickup 🤟🏼 no more sports cars I just simply love everything about pickup trucks 😅
Great videos! although would your camera man be able to film more of the machinery working instead of following you around!😂
Better than moggy do have
Heated seats 😂
James toy box
That's what you call a slug pelleter.
If you get anything from Joe, it will definitely be in mint condition.
Don't think you could drive that hilux at 50mph our land rovers on flotation tyres float across the road at 35mph!
I think Pete’s wheelbarrow needs painting in PX colours and logo’s added.
Organic slut pellets? I had them on the allottment...
I remember back in the '80s unbolting the pickup body and mounting a Vicon spreader powered by a honda engine... those toyotas were virtually indestructible, this video confirms it: -" Killing a Toyota": ruclips.net/video/xnWKz7Cthkk/видео.htmlsi=mC1XoD_ivepyffAd
Whats IPU James?
It's a Herbicide that was effective against Black Grass. Sadly it was banned in 2009
@@fredmargerum1486 thanks. Was that under the Gramoxone label?
@benpattinson1 no Gramoxone was Paraquat. IPU seems to have been re introduced in 2015 and banned again in 2017. Blutron was one brand name
I don’t think we will be able to put up with the whining if you end up with November drilling!!!!
Watch countryfile then!
A good name for the new shed would be The Depression Centre as anything stored in there will definitely be worth more when it goes in than when it comes out.
Good progress team px I still believe that you will get your 10 ton ha and james next could be rattle dry and full on .com all the the team
