Thank you Andrew……really enjoyed the update, everything so well explained, interesting and informative. 👍🏼👏🏼
i remember watching Oliver Walstons series, he was always chasing the 100ton/ha yield for beet, well done on yours, great video once again Andrew.
Cheers Rod. 😃👍
Fantastic beet yields ,the cultivater doing a great job levelling & loosening the soil to let it dry out quickly & the tractor travelling lightly with the duals on and its great to see you drilling again all in another great update & I’m sure I’m not the only farmer with a touch of workshop envy at your well equipped excellent workshop
Thank you. The drillings been going well this weekend for mid Nov! Workshop has been on my wish list for years, finally happened when we put up the last grain store about 10 years ago.
What a top farmer love watching u keep them good vlogs coming all keep safe there
😃👍
Great update Andrew thanks for posting. Good to see you give the combine engine a run through the winter months especially with this ad blu used on diesel engines today. The sugar beet yeilds are unbelievable for a dry summer. The progression of sugar beet over the past 50 years is amazing thanks again.
😃👍
Good days work team 👌
Really like your enthusiasm for doing the job properly , really nice to see that is , and dust in November wow
Thank you. November and dust are not usually in the same sentence!
It's also a good idea to run the airconditioning on full when you run the combine engine during the winter to keep the ac in tip top condition.
Didn’t realise that, thanks for the tip.
Yes defo stops all the seal drying out and going hard ,which then let's the gas escape over time!!
Great update as always, remember in the 70s broadcasting 2,000 acres of cereals with a nodet in one season when it was to wet to drill! Sorry can't remember what the yields were like. 👏👏👏👌
They were good spreaders!
Excellent video Thank you for posting .
Great video Andrew, that 8RX is doing the job fine..Unreal conditions for Nov.. 👍
Definitely, wouldn’t go so well today!
Great update Andrew good to see the drill working away, as you say terrific lights on the tractor. Good to see an old bit of kit working to on the 8rx , pulling that drag no problem. Be interesting to see the yield difference between broadcast and drill.
We’ve not needed to broadcast anything yet, the drilling has gone better than I’d hoped for.
I've been ploughing up dust in the Cambridgeshire fens this week, unbelievable even with the dry year, dad's never had it and he's been farming for over 60yrs!
I dont envy you seeing what was left after the NZ spring tine, would be very interesting to see how that drills
Very enjoyable video as always 👍
Thanks George, unbelievable conditions for mid Nov. we’re drilling the NZ field tomorrow!
That 8 rx just looks soo good it looks like it floats across the ground 👌👍
It is, it’s sooooo impressive!!
Great one Andrew The 8Rx is Brilliant
Cracking tractor.
Great video again boss thanks for all the time it takes 👌
The Drag Bomford Power Track Superflow with Lo Draft Legs will certainly move some soil
Great video Andrew, very impressed with the John Deere a good choice .
We love it. 😃👍
Won't be long before other manufactures start offering tracks on high hp to keep up. They've been around on smaller tractors for some time now for bulb planting and the like. So much better than the twin trac as you don't get all the scuffing on turns and looking at yours it's way less scuff than tyres.
The ripper, deep cultivator you've got could do with a metal board on one side to limit the soil bring thrown on the outer run of the headland Andrew? Maybe a hydraulic one to be flash! I know you don't use it much.
Cheers for the update. Have a good week.
The quadtrac has been an unbelievable tractor and chafed how we farm but this RX is unreal.
a interesting video ANDREW😊
👍😃
Great Video great job 👏👌👍
😃👍
Great video.interesting to see large scale farming in Lincolnshire.
Good video 👍
Great video once again Andrew! any body else notice the leg running with a broken shear bolt on the outside of the machine? ever thought about fitting a packer to that drag and using it more often? also that NZ is making a cracking job.
I did! It’s usually a fire engine job when we use it so a packer would block up.
@@WardysWaffleAndrewWard no see what you mean, does leave the ground nice to take a frost like that though (if only we ever got some).
I’ve seen fantastic oat cover crops spread with fertiliser spreader and just disked .make you wonder about wheat and barley the same way
We broadcast cover crops most years into land just worked with our Xpress, then roll. In my younger days, we’ve had good yields broadcasting wheat.
I’m wondering what farmers think about George Eustice comments today ? I’m not a farmer but if I was I would be absolutely fuming ! A very interesting debate on LBC this morning at 10 about farming and Brexit too . Worth a listen.
I’m hopping I can tell you and will be giving my thoughts in the next waffle.
@@WardysWaffleAndrewWard
It must feel so frustrating that farmers were sold a pup by this incompetent government.
Incompetent is being polite!
Great update. Good yeild for sugar beet. You don't plowing? Here in my aria, south of Sweden, we have to begin plowing again. Some weed have been resistent for spraying. Wery interesting to follow you. My english are not so good, but i do my very best.
Hello Tore, your English is far better than my Swedish! We have t ploughed since 2004, even for sugar beet.
@@WardysWaffleAndrewWard I think it's 10 years no plowing, but now eweryone is plowing, ewen the most opponents.
Hi Andrew, just wandering where do you get your seed hoppers that you load your drill with?
We had them made near Sleaford about 15 years ago. There’s a few companies doing similar or tote bins which would work.
We have had around 150mm in 10 days up to the Wednesday this week,no dust flying here
You’ve had more than us! We had 75 in Oct and 20 up to now in Nov.
Neighbour planted wheat into grassland ,with the plough and powerharrow,during that 10 period,min till and DD would have been OK up to mid Oct,after that lived up its name as one of the wettest months
You can’t beat the Simba free flow. Shame someone doesn’t bring them back . So reliable and cheap to run. Shame Great Plains ruined Simba 🤦♂️🤦♂️
A real shame. I met the owner of Great Plains when they first took simba over, I was not impressed with him at all, I did a huge amount of development work with Simba in those days and he wasn’t interested in anything I had to say,
Pleased for you that the sugar beet has done well after a dry summer, have other farmers had a good yield or is it too soon to know? Good update as always Mr Ward.
Don’t think quite as well as ours, no idea where the yield has come from after the hot dry summer.
Hello Mr ward will you be attending the weavings open day
Morning, I didn’t know they were having one and there a long way from me so I don’t think I will.
Interesting video, as normal. Did you notice the broken shearbolt on the cultivator? Used one like that for a while, shearbolts were a nightmare for us.
I noticed it S I doing the video but thought I’d keep quiet!
👍🏻
See you Friday! 👌😃👍
Great update young man. Unbelievable conditions for this time of the year. Nice drilling conditions, 8RX going well. We kept our 1992 NZ cultivator in the back of the shed for exactly what you have done. How many acres have you got left to drill?
We’ve had a good weekend so only got 20 acres of beet land which is ready but another 30 which still has the beet growing.
The 8RX appears to be a cracking bit of kit. Brilliant demo advert for your local JD dealer. Are you getting many farmers coming to see how it performs?
None at all! It is a great tractor though,
You appeared to be using your Manitou under power lines.
I was, I knew they were there and I was no where near them.
Is the manitou still the same one you’ve always had I saw In the opening sequence it says manitou uk demonstrator?
It’s about 3 years old, we usually swap at 4 but with the arrival of the RX, the Manitou might have to last a bit. It was a brand new model and we evaluated it for Manitou before they launched them properly over here.
Another good interesting video, is that your Farmall tractor in the shed?, crickey you wouldn't be drilling down here in Kent, fields are still saturated, had 62mm this month, may I ask where abouts you are? (Hope you don't mind me asking)
I’m storing that for a friend in Hungary! We’ve had 5.5” rain since early Oct so I’m surprised it’s going as well.
Hi Andrew,
The transmission on your Manitou is really noisy, is it that bad in really life?
We have a JCB and it seems quite compared to yours and it wouldn't have a issue picking up that trailer.
The 8rx looks to be doing a fantastic job.
JCB don’t do a 4 ton lift in a 9m reach, it’s either 3.5 or 5 ton. The 3.5 ton isn’t enough and the 5 ton is too many £££’s.
RX is so impressive.
Hi Andrew,
On one of your earlier videos you mentioned sometime in Lincolnshire that makes any fits wooden drive over drying grain floors. Can I have their contact details please? As have recently built a grainstore and am now looking to fit the drying floor. Many thanks.
The company is Welvent. Paul Gardiner is MD and owner. 07836 330255. Brilliant company and Paul is great. I spoke to him last night so he’s expecting your call. 😃👍
Nice video Andrew thank you, quick question, why is everything quoted in metric including land, has Britain dumped acres etc completely for hectares etc?
It’s so much easier to understand when you’re spraying, drilling and fertilising. I’d be lost if I went back to the old days!
Fair comment, l think my problem is am stuck in the past 🙂
🤣🤣
Farm saved new variety do you have to pay the breeder of new variety a premium. ??
Yes. We have to pay about £50/ton on all varieties.
