22 May will this make scraping easier?

Will the new wheels help with the scraping situation?
Sawdust delivery and updates on lisa the jersey cow woth mastitis
in 2009 i had no experience of farming or the realities that came with it. That soon changed when I met my other half Roy, I had a job as a carer and in every spare moment threw myself into farming. I had only ever driven a Nissan Micra and had experience with horses, I learnt the hard way as nobody had the time to show me and soon after arriving I found myself mothering on calves to three quarter bred limmy cows. We spent every available moment on the farm between our day jobs. Fast forward to 2016 two children later we moved into our very own farm overlooking the northern Pennines, Laitha.
we are in a transitional period at present and will finally be milking cows and making the final switch later this year, after years of planning and implementing infrastructure we will be milking 120 Jersey cows on two Lely robots. This will be a huge change and a steep learning curve
I will be taking you all along for the ride so hit that subscribe button and see you every other day for farming vlogs.
I am overjoyed to be a farmer. I feel so fortunate every day to wake up and do what I love and even better share it with the world and hope it inspires more young people from Preston to spread their wings and think outside the box the world doesn’t need more childcare workers or hairdressers it needs more farmers.

    😂 * for context this is about the smellivision part of your vlog. I used to work for Harrods, but with the carriage horses. I was sent to the book and magazine part to collect magazines of us on the front cover, and the looks and comments were priceless! I have several funny stories from those days.

    I’d consider a smaller 35hp scraper tractor with a hydrostatic drive. Then find a used 50hp to run the beet grinder and slurry pump. They can’t be the same tractor anyway because scraping is 2x a day and in winter/spring it’ll drive you crazy swapping between everything. But I totally get it. Expense and all. We currently only have one tractor and a skid steer. The tractor is massively too big for 60% of what we need and probably a bit too small for other things, but it will make silage bales…. Oh and use the horn on the bobcat and tractor. I’ve got our jerseys trained to clear a path when they hear the horn. Otherwise they try to carjack you….

    Great to see the cow up can relate with the buckets, we bought some of the flexible horse buckets for that reason😂 we used to scrape with a tractor on robots and had gates setup so you could push the cows to one side scrape that and then push them back the other way, was a pain but a bit easier than working round the cows

    Hi kid ! What I think about shavings? Gave up on them quite a few years ago have changed to milled straw far more absorbent and breaks down faster also way easier to handle and less acidic another big plus is that it comes with an anti bacterial incorporated PLUS cheaper. As you may have noticed compared to me you are a veritable child, fyi your cow is still pretty ill , keep an eye on her and when she’s laying down chewing the cud she is starting to get better. Regards from Ireland oh and the boss says that when you have varicose veins that are big and purple it’s time to give up on the shorts till then wear them with a swagger, she’s almost twice your age and wears them a lot n summer ( great pins for a ….young one) whew nearly cocked up there , I on the other hand have pins designed for long pants!

    When I was a kid we had a mk1 ford escort with black vinyl seats. You don't need to tell me About sticking to seats. Wait until the tractor has been parked in the sun before you casually leap up onto it only to discover that it has stored enough heat to power a small town and it then transfers all of the said heat into your arse. You'll make noises usually only heard in zoos. On a different note ,old boy along the road from me said that 6 geese eat the same amount of grass as 1 sheep.
