    Hi Adrian, great episode as always. Regarding Ivy. You'd only need to sever it from the base with a cut from a saw and it'll die and fall off by itself. No need to remove it. Done it hundreds of times. All the best!

    Those gate's are designed for other end of crush and then it automatically locks open. I just disconnected the spring years ago as a temporary solution and have done same on new gate works a treat. Happy Easter.

    Cut a ring around the ivy it will die off. You don't need to remove it. I do a couple of trees here and there every now and then. It also saves creepy crawly habitat.

    Have heard of a lot of close calls and unfortunately not so close bad injuries with Chainsaw accidents recently. All of which could have been prevented sadly with the correct protection Trousers or Chaps. Could be worth mentioning in one of your videos (am sure you have already).

    Another good video Adrian 👍thinking,,,,,Hudson thought he was going to have a ride in quad box! 🤪 you done well on gate post and cattle crush 👍👍 wet ground hardly any chain harrowing and rolling done here in Somerset uk just so wet! As for posts rotting out,they seem to have a life span now of 5-7 years, if you had a redundant ibc tank, you could fill up 2 foot of it with old engine oil (after servicing machines) leave fencing stakes soaking , lift out a few days before you want to use them so they can drain off, just a idea, noticed the ones I done are still strong and in place coming up 10 yrs , anyway stay safe have a good week 👍🍻 oh take it all calving finished and cattle all good 👍

    The only type of trees that I would get cut down in the fields if I were you Adrian would be the ash trees because of the Ash dieback problems in this country. A lot of ash does get covered in a lot of ivy no doubt and that is a real pain in the hole itself 🌳

    Happy Easter! I always enjoy your videos and the Ireland landscapes. Recently on another farm channel that I follow - Gierok Farms (small family dairy in Wisconsin) they did a video called "Do farmers make money?" which was an overview of their family and dairy operations. The topics covered were based on the viewer questions received in the comment section over the years. The presentation of the overview is basically the dad and son touring the dairy talking about the history and operations of their dairy. Check the video out and I bet your viewers would enjoy something similar about your dairy. Just a thought and suggestion.... Take care...

      Tom Pemberton has just done a video of selling his beef stock and gave the financial side of it, really interesting to see how much difference in the quality it makes to the kg/£ return.

    Happy Easter Adrian your a very tidy and handy operator you commented on the green scum on the concrete you can get a product called spray and leave I would recommend it. I've used it myself and it worked for me and every time it rains it sort of refreshes it self. It's ireland so it refreshes it self right and often keep up the good work your a great ambassador for the farming community in ireland

    I seem to remember it being called the luck of the Irish. Well it has been said before and I agree how smart, tidy and hard working a professional you are Adrian. An ambassador for Ireland and farming I tink it is fair to say. Only in Ireland would a gatepost fall backwards and a gate rise. A bucket full of tools along with much time and hard work albeit you did go to the expense of a new bubble ( great distraction gag ) for your level so it was sure to be corrected properly. One thing you can't change was the date you posted the video, perhaps two or even one 30 or 36 mm spanner was all the tools needed to put that gate right. Right ! Either way, keep up the good work...................😜😜

    • @IFarmWeFarm
      @IFarmWeFarm  6 месяцев назад +1

      I have a few Milwaukee tools, i found there grinders and impacts have more torque. Still would pick Dewalt purely for the fact that they’re easier to get fixed if you buy them in the right place. There a dealer in Cavan that fixes them in house which is fierce handy. Yes warranty will cover you but a Milwaukee could be away for several weeks on a repair.
