Hope the ginger guy is all ok great video again

Tom one day you will be your dad and you will be teaching the next generation of Pembertons. love to see you guys working together hope the ginger warrior gets back on his feet soon

Best of luck to the ginger warrior, wishing you a speedy recovery so you can get back on on the farm doing what you love

Get well, Gingerman,farm in good hands with Tom and Crew. Tom, if dad wants to dig up his field, let him. It's only dirt an it can be smoothed back out. 😅

One of the funniest videos I have seen on KZread. Your Dad, Tom, nearly gave me a heart attack laughing WITH him as he attacked the drains. What a great character he is and God's Speed, Sir for a quick recovery from your Op.

Best of Luck to the Ginger Warrior! I hope all went well.❤❤

Wish thr Ginger guy the best in his operation and a speedy and non strenuous recovery ❤❤❤

God bless you and your dad. So glad that you still have him. Treasure every day - trust me on this.

Got to love The Ginger Warrior….he hates poor drainage.

Totally agree ❤

Wish your dad a good and fast recovery, get well soon ginger worrior. We love him all. Lets hope the surgeon doesnt make a mess ;).

Best wishes to the Ginger Warrior for a speedy recovery. Rest and take care of yourself! Thanks Tom, enjoy all your videos!

Best wishes to the Ginger guy for his operation. He was spot on with his idea to dig the trenches, if the ground is so compacted the water will not drain you need to give it somewhere to go where it can drain. Olly Blogs and Joe Seels are both doing similar things this weekend. Ok so it makes a mess but the ground will drain faster and you will be able to get the machines on it to harrow and roll it for re-seeding. Good for the worms and good for the grass. 👍.

Tom your dad is a true grafter, not afraid of hard work both of you. Hope dad makes a speedy and full recovery. Great vid God bless.

I agree with the Ginger guy digging a drainage channel and I'm sure that you will when it's your time in charge. Wishing your dad a speedy recovery

With spring around the corner, it'd be great to get a video on the bees you have by your fields.

Your dads right job needed doing on the drains, hope you're dad has a speedy recovery

Might want to map your drains and tile lines some day. 😅. Makes all this easier. Hope Dad's situation has come out positive. God bless y'all.

Very best of luck to Andrew for his op. Hope it all goes well and he makes a full and speedy recovery. Tom I hope the fields keep on drying out so you can get on with what you want to do.

Hi Tom. Lots of work done. Though it looks like a mess. Hard work is never ending but the outcome you will see it. Take care of yourself and prayers for your dad and his recovery. Blessings upon you and your family.

Enjoy your Dad while you are blessed to have him.

The degree by which we show respect to our Fathers is the degree by which we will be shown respect by our children. Your Dad was right about the drains.

Hey Tom, if you already have a tine grass harrow, you can always buy a air seeder unit and retro fit it onto your harrow.

Best of luck on the operation and LISTEN TO YOUR DOCTOR AND THERAPIST so you're back to fighting form 💪 in the least amount of time ❤

Absolutly brilliant never underestimate how much we love seeing this tom Firstly you and your dad working together Secondly the drainage is brilliant to watch I really enjoy these sort of videos your dad is so knowledgable and watching you two sort these drains is a masterclass. Good luck to ginger spice for his operation 😂😂

From the aerial video, it seems like some of the biggest puddles are not that far from the main drainage ditch. It would not take much with a bulldozer to make a swale from each of those puddles to the main ditch. Then the surface water would run away much better. If your ground is compacted as much as you said, the swales could be a good solution. Also, I was impressed with the depth of the top soil - almost 3 feet in some places. In the US, we are lucky to have 4 to 6 inches of topsoil. That also means that if you do swales, you can still easily plant grass on top without having to move topsoil back over.

I Bless your Dad Tom n his operation ......... it is well with him. ☘

Best of luck to Pops!! God willing he has a speedy recovery. God Speed to you from America, Florida.

Grass harrow with a seeder box is a great job. Bought one last year and now do all the reseeding with it. No more waiting for a contractor during busy periods.

Is it that good? Which one did you get? What price?

Sending good energy to the big guy for a safe outcome and good healing. ❤

Your happy place really is with your head in a drain Andrew. Hope all went well with the surgery and look forward to see you back on the farm soon xxx

What a brilliant partnership you and your dad , you work really hard together. Have a speedy recovery ginger warrior.

Watching you trying to drain those fields reminds of the phrase “ it’s like trying to push water uphill with a rake “

MY HEART LEEPS FOR JOY WHEN I SEE YOU AND YOUR DAD TOGETHER WORKING SIDE BY SIDE OH YA LOVE YOU BOTH SOOOOOOOO MUCH

Best wishes to your father Tom, hope his operation all goes well, and that he takes time to recover properly. He loves his drains!!😊

The very best of luck to you’re Dad wish him a speedy recovery

2" collars not dirty because they dont draw anything 😅 Put in 150mm twinwall with some 40mm drainage stone on top all the way. Just like 300mm above the pipe. Fill to the top in low spot for like a couple of meters every so often.

Thinking of you ginger guy what a wonderful dad you are looking after your lad hope all goes well you are a super dad

Hope everything went well with the surgery, rest and recouperation is on the cards! Next job will be to have the channels dredged. The silt will do fertilisation wonders to the fields.

I agree with you dad in that the land he drained literally had no green like the rest of the field. If he makes it out you ought to purchase an engineered drainage plan that he'd admire to dream about existing one day. Though you may need to hire someone to do it before he starts digging again.

Wettest february since 1926, or thereabouts. Good luck with draining the fields, and fingers crossed for a drier March and April.

the man is an icon! Hope to see the Ginger Warrior back on its feet soon!

To The Ginger Guy: A speedy and healthy recovery to you! Tom: you need to invite Post 10 and Drain Cleaning AUSTRIALA to the farm and I'm sure they will fix you right up! They both have KZread channels. Both are an interesting watch. Be well and safe travels!

Best of luck with your surgery! We will miss you around! Enjoy the break from it all!! Wishing you a speedy recovery!! Keep up the great work Tom!!

You have a lot of ground water there, a mile of corrugated drain tiles with a sock to keep out dirt and debris, covered in about a foot of 10 cm stones an your fields would be close to a desert in a few years.

yeah never going to drain right through all that clay wants a good layer of gravel/rocks above the pipe

It's possible that in the future flood plain meadows will be 'restored' to that function. Imagine having to dig all that back up? 🤔

Best of luck and well wishes for the ginger warrior….. gotta get that water out! He’s not wrong

Thanks for the video Tom. You always have great music in your videos. Hope all goes well with Father and the hospital. BeWell and StaySafe ✌️

If the large puddles are near the tile/drainage pipe auger a hole down to the tile and fill it up with course stone or gravel and create French drains

Best of luck with the operation, get well soon

Best wishes to your father on a speedy recovery watching and enjoying your show in Seattle!

All the Best for the Ginger. When he is home and wanting to get back at it get a Map printed out so he can mark locations of drains ect for your son to use if the years to come. As always all the best to you and yours. And a big Hello to Mother.

Praying for the Ginger Warrior! I could believe that he was on the ground working on the drains! What a trooper, a farmer knows not rest.

May your Dad’s surgery and recovery be short and uneventful.

Fair Play to your Dad he will be laughing his arse off in hospital thinking about you cleaning up the mess, That what kids are for 🤣

I’m miles late but I wish the ginger one a successful operation and speedy recovery

Best wishes to the Ginger Guy & a comfortable recovery, from British Columbia, Canada.

Tom has to listen to the Ginger Guy more to learn the lay of the land and how to drain it. Good luck to the Ginger Guy on his up coming operation

Good luck Mr p speedy recovery and do as ur told don't rush back Tom got the farm

Andrew, I hope all goes well with your surgery and you make a full and rapid recovery. Im just recovering from bowel cancer surgery (done with a robot). Recovery is going well, but whole thing a bit scary.

Hope all went well for your dad and the surgery and is on the mend now look arfta yourself Tom don't do too much thanks love the videos

Good luck Ginger - please take care, do as they say and get home soon.

BEST OF HEALTH GINGER, THE BEST OF LUCK WITH YOUR OPERATION, DO NOT FORGET TO COME BACK TO CHANNEL, ALL THE BEST FROM AN IRISH FOLLOWER

Maybe try dig down to the drains in the middel of the wet spot and put some gravel or sharp sand on top of the drain all the way up to the surface. It makes the water travel faster down to the drain. We do it here in Denmark and it works great. Love your videos. Keep up the good work.

Awesome job Gentlemen all the best to the ginger guy hope his operation goes well and has a speedy recovery god bless my friends 💙💙

Good luck with the op Andrew - what you need is a nice little David Brown digger on the back of one of the tractors - I think I might know of one!😂😂😂

Best wishes to the ginger one for his operation. He'll be back making chaos in no time 😂

Good luck ginger guy hope operation was a success and hears to a speedy recovery

Hope your dad does well in his op and recovers well

I wish your Dad the best of luck!!!!! It seems as we get older things need fixing. Kind of like the drains. LOL

Wishing the Ginger Warrior a speedy recovery after his op he will be missed for a while a fountain of knowledge

Good luck to the ginger guy on his opp. Love the fact that he digs them out and leaves you to clean up. Just remember when you choose to do it another way Tom he showed you how to do this way, in case you way doesn't work! Thanks for the great content. Will

you need a small 6inch pump, & some lay flat pipe, it would be far less mess a many times faster, & over time I would fill or raise the ground level in those areas of standing water

Hi Tom, why don't you put an 8 inch pipped across all the fields to drain the water so it can go more quickly. I like your channel😊

Tom I don't think you realize exactly how intelligent, knowledgeable and truly skilled your lovely Dad is. The 'ginger guy' should have his own channel as there are so man people that would loe to learn from him. His knowledge cannot be learned in any training college. Weall need 'Ginger Guy'in our lives 😊❤

Really interesting video. The basic problem seems as your dad says, not to be the field drains but the main streams which take the water from the whole district. They get held back by the tides because you are so close to the coast and the fresh water just cannot get away. Has there ever been any plans to dam those tidal waterways so that no water backs upstream on high tides, but flows out on low water. My family have this in their farms in South Glos and North Somerset and it works well - but getting co-operation for such an expensive project ain't easy. Meanwhile pray for a drought, and good luck to your Dad.!

Wishing a speedy recovery to the Ginger Guy, hope all goes well for him.

all the best in your recovery GW, your awesome

Praying for a successful surgery and a speedy recovery for the Ginger Warrior! ❤

Good luck Andrew. Looking forward to more of the Ginger Warrior. 👍👍👍👍🇬🇧

Can I just wish your dad Andrew all the best with his recovery Tom ! Love your videos !!

i once got three slurry wagons to suck up water as we where digging down a septic tank and it was in water area under field where it was going so to keep tank awat from floating up we had to be sucking it in and dump into river without moving tractors. i would have just done that with floating pond field water.

Your dad’s right, it would have been there for months without making a mess. Means to an end.

Sending good vibes for the Ginger Warrior!

Have you ever used a "Ditch Witch" to install pipe drains? It like a giant chain saw that trenches the ground.

good luck with the operation speedy recovery.

Good morning Tom and Dad!!! I wish I had big equipment to fix my problems here.. I watch and learn from the big boys. Im 5.2.

Hope all goes well for the Ginger guy, best wishes to all of you. Rich Ely.

Never argue with a man on a mission 😂😂. He is right though need to get that water off for it to dry up

You get a real idea of how big a problem field drainage has been in Britain throughout history, if you've ever watched Time Team. Every geophysics survey reveals the labyrinth of trenches dug by farmers, going back to the Bronze Age!

Good luck with the operation. Old time farming the best thing to do.

Best of luck Ginger legend! Hope all goes well.

Andrew, do as you are told, I hope you are doing your exercises and being a good patient. To Tom, They are not puddles, they are freaking lakes 😂

My 4 year old son loves the Ginger guy.

Very funny man your father Tom. Mine was still driving the tractor when he was 95. Now retired for 3 years 😂😂😂

Sending prayers for a speedy recovery for Ginger. 🙏🏻

I know it would be a huge job, but would it be beneficial to put a retaining wall along the edge of the ditch to prevent losing more land to the ditch. Maybe be able to approach the department and sell it to them as long-term cost saving in not having to not have to reshape it

Cammy, that bale lifter is specifically designed to tip bales onto their end! That was hard to watch 😂 looking forward to some lambing videos!

Have you considered putting lump and hollows in the paddock ? water would then be able to run down in the hollow section leaving it less wet in the paddock ? could also possiably make it go down to the bank/river yous have.
