- I stand by this statement.
If you farm livestock, and you have never tried out a skid steer for ALL your yard work, you are missing a trick, for lifting, loading, digging and bulldozing, levelling and stacking... In a smaller yard or tight spaces... the little skid steer will out perform its bigger brothers most of the time. Most of this job was spent idle because I only had one small trailer to load, four grab fulls at a time.
I have driven and used bigger handlers, but always returned to my Mustang.

Thanks good night ✌🙏✌🙏✌🙏👍👍👍👍👍👍
ooooooo arrrggghhh grand job
nice job. i will get a bobcat soon. i am in construction area and it will help the same than in the farm. greetings from mexico!
FarmerP channel at its finest here.
Entertaining, oddly satisfying, all the while showcasing the community spirit and collaborative working practices local farmers have with each other.
Great video MrP. 👍👍
David W
Thanks David, I did get my palm crossed with a bit of silver for the service though, I like my neighbours a lot, but business is business 😄👍
Farmer P
Of course. Wouldn’t have thought it’d be a freebie. Bit of bunse and a refill from their red tank! 😁
David W
I never fill from anyone else’s tank David, I like my fuel nice and clean.... no bugs. 🙂👍
Such skill did not even need a brush AWESOME.👍👍👍
The skid steer is so handy and nippy too, perfect for those with smaller buildings. Lot of the older farms have small sheds, you'd never get in them with a big machines.
Mags Prettejohn
I can out perform big machines in big sheds too Mags. 😄👍
@@FarmerP Oh I've seen you performing in big sheds as well. A while ago I mentioned your skid steer to Brandon, when he was having to do a fair bit of muck forking in a tricky shed.
Our calf houses are stone built with doors barely wide enough for the wheelbarrow. Cleaning them out is a job for the grape...
Dave Wuz Here
You can hire little tiny stand on machines for that sort of work Dave. 👍🙂
@@FarmerP there is a step to get inside and one of the houses has a cobbled floor. Unfortunately most of the calf houses are hundreds of years old and they never thought that someday there might be machinery
Dave Wuz Here
Turn them into little offices and build a new shed..... Only thing I can think of 🤔😬👍
@@FarmerP toss the whole lot and put up a big shed with pens or plastic slats. Need to win the lottery first!
Nice to see another Mustang getting about. I have a 2040 1998.
There now, I 'saved' this video for Sunday morning and coffee,..good and interesting 22 minutes 22 seconds worth.
Yes Skid Steers are indeed worth their weight in gold ( as they say,.....whoever 'they' are ) I used to have these in my equipment rental fleet, ( plant hire ) they were especially good for snow removal and clearing especially 'round tight spaces,..as you've found here in barns etc.
Thank you, again Squire!
Reg Sparkes
With a good pilot, they are amazing little machines Reg. 😁👍
@@FarmerP Absolutely!
I am glad I wasn't drinking anything when you said you love sheep. Your face said so much more. Glad to see farmers helping farmers. Keep up the great work.
Christopher Lueder
I have been mucking out neighbours sheds for years Christopher, it makes their life a lot easier and earns me a few extra £££
Have skid steer with 16 years now bought it new best investment ever be lost without it
Patrick Oconnell
Once you have had one..... life is better 😄👍
Good advert for skid steer and the operator not to bad either 🚜🐑🏴
Glyn Roberts
They are brilliant tools Glyn.
I would happily put my skid steer against an Avant or Norcar .... or similar any day. 😄👍
I enjoyed another day in the life of farming livestock. Thanks for the trip and ride along.
Great video skid steer are the best to have farmer p
They you go, being all interesting again! I told you, I’ve got things to do!
James Boyd
Sorry a James, it just slipped out. 😬👍😄
I remember my Grandfather doing custom work for the neighbors with his CASE 600 Bean Special combine when I was 5, way back in 1970. He's set the machine up, then turned me loose to steer the thing around and around the field while he made a run to the mill to unload the truck of whatever we were harvesting. I rather enjoyed it. It was a good way for the family to make a little extra cash. Granddad was the only one in the area at that time with a self-propelled threshing machine that could be set up to do beans, peas as well as wheat.
David Nelson
Wise men nor fools can work without tools David, I am lucky to have a very useful tool. Even if it’s a small one. 👍😄
If I hadn’t seen these videos, I would never have thought that the British could work so hard. I look, and it seems that this is happening in Russia. However, there are few inhabitants in Russian villages now. Mostly older people. Young are trying to relocate to the city.
Сергей Шишкин
I think life is going to get a bit harder for everyone this year Sergey. This damn virus has the planet in a panic. I blame social media for a lot of it, but the mainstream has done little to calm things down either.
A bit of hard work never hurt anyone, not that driving our Mustang is hard mind, it’s more like arm chair farming. 😄
@@FarmerP Personally, I somehow don’t really care about the virus. Of much greater concern is the exchange rate. Indeed, in the wake of it, the value of the goods changes.
Top job that! It's so much more manoeuvred then a tele handler a can see a small niche there going into the small yards and doing tight space jobs for people, I really want one such a great tool!
Four Winds Farm
Get one in on demo Matt.
I use Filter mech.

They are dealers for Gehl (Same factory as the Mustang) and can also sort out Manitou who bought out the Mustang range. JCB do a great little machine as do VOLVO... both with side door single boom versions.
Plenty to choose from.
@@FarmerP nice one thank you il have to talk the farmer into it!
Four Winds Farm
Costs nothing to look. 😄👍
I agree. The farm I work on has a skidsteer, a telehandler and a loader tractor. They all have their uses
You can really see the benefit of that machine when you're working in a confined space.
Richard Llewellyn
Even in big spaces I can still often out work a full size tele handler Richard. 😄👍
@@FarmerP Yes, I'm sure you can the way you drive it! The big plus is that you couldn't use a big telehandler in those sheds you've been doing in this video, but you can work in any size shed.
Wow - in those conditions, not just a skid steer but a skid loader!!!
River Mersey
It’s a brilliant little machine 👍
@@FarmerP brilliant little machine but I'd not want it to stamp on my foot!
River Mersey
Um, yes🤔 I would advise against that. Broken toes are no fun. 😬😄
@@FarmerP although, I'm sure that even your calfs could also hurt if they stood on your foot!
Had a nice brew and a creme egg whist i enjoyed this
Legally you are supposed to secure all loads to trailers. Its a £5,000 fine, 3 points and a disqualification under the 1991 road traffic act. Possible imprisonment if the insecure load caused injury or death. Surely it's worth the 5 minutes it takes to throw 4 straps on, just for peace of mind.
Danger does not have a day off.
Better to try and fail, than fail to try.
Not criticising, just trying to keep you safe. :)
Clunk
That’s a fair cop, and you are not wrong, but defining a secure load in this case ?
There is no way the machine can escape the trailer unless all 2.5 tonnes can jump over the 12” sides, the only way I could loose it would be if I tipped the trailer which would be difficult unless I was driving like a twat.
I’m too old and boring to drive like a twat , those days are far behind me 😄
If I was travelling any distance I would definitely have two big wratchet straps on “belt and braces” but a Pete is only a mile away and I was being lazy.... I admit it. 😬🙂
@@FarmerP Fair point. However, VOSA would not see it that way. They have been coming down hard on the haulage industry about this recently, Their argument is, in the event of an accident, the load must remain within the confines of the trailer/vehicle.
I know up the line they were targeting farmers pulling bales with tractors, as many don't bother strapping the bales.
I just don't want to see you hit with a large fine, especially as you are potentially hugely out of pocket with the TB situation.
:)
Clunk
I appreciate your concern Clunk, thank you. 👍🙂
Nice job. I'm just thankful I can lamb my 2160 ewes outside. ☺️
Murray Smith
That’s a lot of wooden heads Murray. I wish you luck with it, I trust you have some help with that many. The most I ever had to look after was 160, that was enough by myself.
its nice when you can help other farms out
MARCUS BLIZZARD
Farmers are an independent breed Marcus, but not daft enough to miss out on an opportunity to make life easier if they have a helpful neighbour. 😁👍
Used to be stockman to 500 ewes and 6000 hens would have been lost without the skid steer I do miss them days didn't miss the hand shovelling around the edges !! the only problem with soil flooring is you take a bit with you every time you muck out it got to the point with us where the floor was deeper then the outside and the sheds kept filling with ground water ended up with concrete in the end it wasn't cheep
Martin Mumper
I have to be mindful of the Earth floors Martin, the idea is get the 💩 out and keep the soil in, I recon I was 99% successful. 👍😄
You need a bobcat!
hello Ian.
nice video again
I love to watch your videos pure and honest videos no frills but just honest as it is .
kind regards Hollandduck from the Netherlands
(source of translation: Google translate)
hollandduck79
Hopefully I offer a thrill now and then though 😄
Wish I had one,such a versatile piece of kit.👍
Matt Doe
There is always work for a skid steer Matt.
I can earn £40 an hour on the Mustang ( Pete and Scott get a discounted rate 😄)
There is a business opportunity here for some of you.
A machine you can tow behind a Landrover (or similar) will fit in a shipping container for storage and costs very little to service and run. And it hangs on to its money if you look after it. I bought this machine new in 2005, in reality it’s only lost 30% of its original value, and paid for itself five times. 👍👍👍😁
@@FarmerP yes, I may have to look into it a bit more seriously, cheers 👍
Matt Doe
Costs nothing to look Matt. 🙂👍
like all things in life its times and place you got a big shed with loads of room nothing can really touch a telehandler. but like you said if you go a small tight shed the skid steer will run circles around anything. moto of this story build big sheds ;)
kingzy3120
I have cleaned out more than a few big sheds too, in fact one was an old aircraft hanger.
The penning and gate system though made a lot of the compartments quite small. I was working with a big Sanderson loading side discharge Marshal spreaders. I loaded two to his one, got more in and had nothing hanging out for the road journey.
The Sanderson pilot bought a skid steer 😄..... As well as, not instead of. 😁
The only load you don't need to strap is a loose materials load that should not be loaded above the sides of a trailer which where possible should be sheeted up. It's not always what we might do but if something unexpected happens and your load is tipped off then there is a problem. But it's your responsibility and your risk! Good video though and skid steers are indeed an asset to every farm!
DingleZilla
All correct, and a fair cop. If it was more than just up the road I would have at least two big ratchet straps on as well, but it’s literally 90 seconds from my front gate, and I was being idle.
So guilty as charged. 😬👍😄
Great video Farmer P 👌🏻👍🏻
Colm Kennedy
Thanks Colm. 🙂👍
Much as it pains me I have to admit that in certain situations a skid steer is a plus but I still hate the bloody things 🙄😬🤣🤣🤣 loadin any bigger a trailer than what we saw often results in catchin the valves wi the front tyres an hey presto instant punctures 🙄😂😂😂 am sayin nothin about the transportation cos I would be a hypocrite if I did 🤐🤐🤐🤣
Bob Paterson
I can honestly say, in over thirty years of piloting a skid steer loader, I have never yet lost a valve Bob. As far as punctures 🤔 I recon in the same period I may have had half a dozen. I use the extra thick sidewall tyres which I am sure helps, oh and I avoid chucking nails and screws about as well if I can help it. 😄🤔
Good skills Famer P, another great Video. 👍👍
Sam Jones
Thanks Sam. 😄👍
Nice job Farmer P. Farmers helping each other out. 👍 You drive that thing like a race car. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Poor Mustand is going to need a bath after this one for sure. 🤔😨🐑👍👍👍👍👍
Neusa C
All our kit is overdue a good clean Neusa, problem is it’s so wet and mucky it gets covered the very next time I use it.
@@FarmerP I hear you there Farmer P. The same when it comes to washing cars, Phoenix just had 4 days of rain, most unusual, sunny this weekend, but have a 80% chance for more rain mid week.🌧🌧🌧 I'm sure you'll get to it when possible. 👍😉🐶
Neusa C
I like clean kit. The constant wet and muck is getting depressing now. 😐
You did a Damn good job
Matey needs a bigger trailer, 2 grabs and he’s full 🤪
You need to get one with tracks.
I don't know if you have them there. Here in the states, they have become very popular in the last few years. You know the advantages of tracks over tires. The disadvantage is cleaning.
I really like seeing how things differ between there and here.
Another interesting video.
James Engle
I fancy a tracked machine James, but for the work I have I think wheels work better, I do a lot of turning on the back wheels in tight spots, not so easy with tracks. 🙂👍
@@FarmerP that's understandable.
I'm amazed at how different it is there. We use barbed wire fences and you use hedges. It seems like all of your vehicles are what we can mini or midsize. When we move hay. We typically haul much larger loads than what I have seen you haul. Trailers are really different. I like some things that you have better than we have.
I don't know if I could get use to driving on the WRONG (lol) side of the road. Anyway, great videos and educational in many ways as we're seeing it from a different standpoint.
James Engle
I enjoy a lot of your American farm channels too James, partially to look at the differences and partly to see what I can learn. None of us are ever too old to learn a new trick or two. 😄👍
Some tunes are you the funky farmer 👍😂
Colin Pearson
Oh no Colin, that slot is already filled by my mate Mr Cornock 😄👍

Hi there farmer p abbi bisskitt and the family
Farmer p u have done it again working very hard i mean
Farmer p u r such an inspiration to us alll showing us all the real things that happen on thee farmm as people dont really no exacterly what farmers do on the farm its looks so much work to do and early mornings and long days but u farmer p makes it look good and fun to do
Have u donee the vlog yet with the questions i askedd u about y s the reason u move sheep etc from one part of the farm to the other as i cant wait to c thatt vlogg
Love u guys❤💛💙💜💚 sory bout spellling as i have dyslexic so please 4give me 4 the speling
Give bisskitt a hug from me

Love u guys❤💛💙💜💚
i said this to the funky farmer the equipment getting bigger but the buildings are staying small I know there expensive but there indespensible around these old farms even fo scraping
Russell Petrie
A yard scraper on a skid steer is an awesome tool Russell, AWSOME. 😄👍
@@FarmerP it would get everyday use like a swisss army knife so easy to operate to
Russell Petrie
I have scraped yards with a Skid steer.... Same job, half the time. 😄👍
I'd love one here for mucking out and feeding silage bales, however our Ford 5610 and loader is super around our yards and sheds. If there was more money out of the job then a skid-steer would be ideal or a compact wheeled loader.
Michael Irwin
My Mustang paid for itself within three years by going out on hire with me cleaning sheds Michael. If you have one and are willing, you will find work for it, once you get proficient with it there is not much you can’t do. I don’t do many hires now, just a few friends and neighbours that I have the time for. 🙂👍
Another great job done 👍
Antony farming
Well Scott was happy with the results. He only had a few barrow fulls to get out of the very tight bits. 👍🙂

Handy bit of kit that little Mustang!! have you had that bucket repaired yet?? :D :D :D
Alan Siddall
No not yet, Cow farmer Dan has offered to do it for me so a collaboration video is on the cards sometime. 👍🙂
@@FarmerP Nice!! Deffo one to wait for then :) Keep up the good work Ian :)
Nice work mate, that’s the best way to earn a few beer tokens, working together at its best ✌️👍😉😉
Dug by a Pug
They are brilliant machines, and up once you have the muscle memory built, they just become an extension of your arms and legs. 👍🙂
Farmer P yes I know what you mean I drove a fork truck for years and you don’t even think about it like you say they just become part of you a bit like being given extra hands. 😂👍😂😂
Hi Ian,Instead of calling them Skid-Steer,I am now calling them Sh💩t-Clear.
ecosselion
It will clear anything it can lift. 👍 including 💩😄
@@FarmerP Ian they are a handy piece of kit to have for working in a tight restricted space.
@@FarmerP Ian it will sure will move anything,by the way,New definition word for putting the Ram into the field with the ewes🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐏"RAMIFiCATION"let Abbi 👱 know to look up on CZcams my friend of mine has just purchased a Ferrari after selling her Viper Venom 🐍I remember Abbi 🍛 👱💦 saying she follows peop!e who buy and sell high end cars in the USA get her to look her up on CZcams at Kristen Graham,she is also involved in a very tough sport,I think this might interest Abbi 👱what she does,I would be very interested in what Abbi has to say about her sport, also look up Bauld and Bankrupt,him and girl friend have just come back from Cuba,see what they brought back with them from Cuba,I think Abbi 👱 will be amazed at what they brought back to Europe.
Really appreciate the camera angles, Farmer P! I was wondering where the tractor was dumping and BOOM, camera angle changes to the back of the tractor off to unload. 😊
Roger Wilco
I try and keep it interesting, and that is one of the easiest ways.
All shot on one Gopro8 so lots of stop and start, repeat, cut and edit to blend it, but I recon the edit session on this one was about two hours.
Luckily I quite enjoy the edit process, even if I end up cutting 80% of the footage. 🙂👍
Looked inevitable you'd touch the roof at some point 😄

ur right farmer p we have a jcb 3cx we use to clean out sheds wld love to get a skid steer for cleaning out smaller sheds .hopefuly sme day all abt money i'm afraid how is tat covid 19 affecting ye over there were on a sort off lockdown here in ireland
Tom Mitchell
Worlds gone mad with panic Tom, it appears that not all sheep are woolly.
Me, I’m not losing any sleep over it. What will be, will be.
You've got the same muck grab as us
rhys thompson
I picked it up as damaged about fifteen years ago Rhys, paid £150 for it I think, spent an afternoon and a dozen welding rods on it, and never looked back. Oh, I did put two new hoses on it a couple of years back, thinner than the originals, which is why it squeals a bit sometimes. Paid for itself a few times now. 🙂👍
What a handy piece of kit . Very humble. Any chance of a video of the controls? I have never driven one and am less than likely to but would make an interesting video. Thanks Nige
Nigel Macey
A bit tight in there for the camera, but I will try and show yo around as best I can one day. 🙂👍
That skid-steer is worth its weight in gold 💰💰💰
Big Bob
I love it Bob, it’s my right arm go to machine. 👍
Great piece of kit if you can justify the outlay, it’d be great for most farmers as you mentioned but it’d be a bit of a luxury no? Anyway you’ve learned to drive it extremely well
NZsarge1
Once you have had the use of one, justification becomes a lot easier, there are few jobs this machine can’t do, I use it almost every day, the time and effort saved soon outweighs the ££££s
Farmer P Fair enough
Hi Ian not just a useful bit of equipment but you need eye in the back of you head as well
ps nice bit of Torvil and Dean idea !! how about new TV programme Skid steers on Ice ?
john aldous
Visibility is one of the few minus points John. You need to know who is about and where they are before you start.
I'm surprised they haven't bought one but guess for the day a year they need it, might as well have you in. Looks like they have a nice little setup there. Not sure your dexters would keep in a polytunnel though 😂😂🐃🐃
Casto
Poly tunnels work well with sheep. You can get cattle versions as well, but I like steel and concrete better. 🙂👍
@@FarmerP there's nout like bricks n morta. Saying that, might need one for storing bales in this summer 😂😣
Casto
A few of my old customers now have their own machines Casto. One guy bought his own after hiring me in twice..... Then paid me to drive it for him until he got used to it 😄👍
@@FarmerP 😂 😂 fancy buying one then paying you to use it!! It's almost like they trust your driving!😉😆😂
Hope it will dry up soon very little planted around here not looking good
The skid steer sure looks funner to operate than a telehandler...how many times do you see someone pop a wheelie and turn on the back two wheels in a telehandeler?
colmortimer1066
I can often out work a bigger machine, simply because of the manoeuvrability .... I can simply run circles around them. 👍😄
Hi lan how's your wheat looking in all this wet weather
Malcolm Tyler
Not brilliant Malcolm, it could do with a bit of lime and fertiliser...... And some sun to get it going. I recon we have lost one piece to the wet though. 🤞🏻we will still get 40 acres 😬🙂
Hi Ian why do you have a ice cream van on the farm, don't you have enough to do lol
Famous last words 😆it's not coming out of there 🤔
Harold Wilkerson
I always manage to get it our Harold.
I may have to wrestle with it a bit occasionally, but never lost a battle yet 👍😄
Nice to see a happy skidsteer driver. Strange i saw no.complaines about wind and getting a face full of muck. On insta you posted it . This was another wind free day??? Or at another place? How is life in the caravan. Does abbi get planty of sleep. Or do you take midday naps
harrie huntjens
Oh, I still ate a pound of 🐑💩 Harrie, the ends of the tunnels facing the wind, I got covered in the stuff. 🤓💩💩🤢🤮
Is that Pete Atkinson
it would be interesting to find out if a buisnesss could be started to go round farms with a skidsteeer offering a service to muck out and other jobs with a skidsteeer
Russell Petrie
That’s exactly what I used to do Russell, not just farms though, landscaping firms love them too. Building sites are too complicated now but I worked on a few years ago. It’s such a versatile tool, once you get good at it the work will soon find you.🙂👍
Why have u got an ice cream van lol?
Rhys Watts
Haha, no it’s parked up while it’s boss is on holiday, I offered it B&B for a couple of weeks. 😄
Farmer P haha 😂
Farmer P, going from farm to farm do you have to clean your machine. Nice one.
Stephen Aubrey
The simple answer is yes, Stephen, normally I would. This job was a bit of a rush though, Scott had started lambing three weeks sooner than anticipated so there was no real notice or time to prepare, the Mustang only got a quick spray round with Fam 30 from the wheels down this time .
You said in an earlier video that you were getting pass ports ready for cattle. Can you explain that better.
James Engle
All cattle have a passport, A paper and electronic record of everything from birth until death, wherever an animal goes their passport goes with them, including to the abattoir. Our IR cattle will be leaving us next Thursday as long as the APHA license is agreed, when they leave here all their paperwork must go with them.
It’s all about traceability James. The department of agriculture know where every bovine was born where it’s been, what other animals it has mixed with, when it travelled when it arrived, when it left.... and when it died. It’s all for food and bio security. If foot and mouth or similar ever rears it’s ugly head... The government can use the passport information to get ahead of it.
I hope that explains it ok.🙂👍

Great vid Ian. You're a dab hand with that Skid Steer. How long have you had it? What had you before it?
Should have said nimble.
Nigel Macey
Haha.... That too. 😄👍
Hi farmer p I've just question for you what is the fuel range like on the skid steer I might think of getting one my self cheers mate.
Cadetchunklet
Fuel range ?
A tank of fuel will last all day on the Mustang. Well 8 hours anyway. 👍😄
@@FarmerP cheers mate all the best with farming life
Anything new about the new barn
James Engle
It’s ordered James, let’s hop this silly virus doesn’t delay it too long. 🤞🏻
@@FarmerP absolutely !!!!!
How long is the trailer
This man has skills is all i can say =-) , How long you been driving one of those?
Gut Instinct
Over 30 years, so I think I can call myself a veteran now. 😄
A very professionally done job, just a question does any of the boyfriends of the girls every drove or wanted to drive the skid steer ? Just wondering !
William Greenway
A couple have tried it William, because it looks easy and if the old man can do it so can they..... Always makes me chuckle. It’s like riding a bike.... until you have got it.... You don’t got it. 😄😁👍
So far, none of them can cut the mustard, not even close.
Old men rule 😄👍
@@FarmerP just tell practice !
William Greenway
That’s the trick, practice makes perfect. 🙂👍
Is there much fertiliser value in sheep muck Ian? That stuff looks quite dry compare to say mucking out a cow shed...
Kenneth Green
That was a very dry clean out, the fertiliser value will be quite low I expect. But it needed getting out before lambing so the sheds could be limed.
I saw a skidsteer the exact same model as yours on donedeal, how much would it lift up to max height and could you do a video on the controls of it? Great video 👍
If shes not blue she'll not do
The 2044 is rated at 590kg and will lift to about 2.4 meters (88.2”) I have a high tip (tiptoe) bucket that adds another 2’ to that if needed.
@@FarmerP thanks for the info, would definitely suit for feeding silage bales and loading up the fert spreader for me so 👍
Could of done with another tractor and trailer
Never put the weight on the tongue of a trailer he done that in the United States you be fine by dot thousands of dollars not being tied down I know you don't have to where you're at but I'm just saying in the United States and I know that you should know you put all the weight you can on them tires not up here at that tongue and not the very back of it so that wait it's on the back that you got on the tongue needs to be turned around and put on..but you can drive the hell out of that machine
keith knight
In fact You do need to tie down a load like this in the UK too Keith. I was being naughty for a 1 mile trip.
Towing with a Coil sprung Land Rover is a bit different to the old leaf springs, they compress much quicker making the load look very front heavy, unfortunately though loading the skid steer forward has the opposite effect which can make the trailer fish tail.
Look at the view when you loading up
photosbychristensen
It’s a lovely place half way up the hill to the monument, it looks down over on top of us. 🙂👍
Hi farmer p would you consider a tracked asv type machine
James B
Not for my applications James, tracks have an advantage on soft ground for sure, but I find wheels do everything I need and are a lot easier to maintain too. There is a track system I can fit over the wheels if I really needed it. 🙂👍
First comment keep up the good vids
Declan Jones
Thanks Declan, the only thing slowing me is our internet. 😄
I can't imagine the smell that makes with all the layers of pee and poop. Nice job though.
Glenonica1
It’s not that bad actually.... or I’m just used to it. 😄
Sheepsh & cowsh is okay, .........but for me pigsh is horrible - so sweet and cloying.
any worry about biosecurity ?
Bio security is always a concern Richard, if I was mucking out cattle I would have to wash and disinfect the a Mustang before and after. Pete is 100% sheep so it’s not quite as crucial, plus the sheds have been empty for months and are fairly dry. The Mustang will be getting a good blast with the power washer... as soon as it stops bloomin raining 🙂👍
