MOST HATED JOB ON THE FARM!!!
Vložit
- čas přidán 3. 12. 2022
- in todays video we are doing the most hated job on the farm opening the field of sugar beet so we can harvest it with our single row armor salmon harvester. the reason we open the field by hand is because the harvester will only trample the most of the beet we pulled.
Hope you enjoy, any questions hit me down in the comments below, thanks for watching! G'Luck

Hope Father Phil wasn't too tired after pulling beet terrible tiring job watching all you lads working 😂im surprised you got bro out to do that.
Troy seems a good lad you wanna keep him on the crew
Hello Phil just watching you here pulling beat around the headlands of the field I can remember years ago my father and I doing this same thing then we realised it would be just as well to either leave a grass headland around the sugarbeet or as we did then grow spring barley round the outside headlands. So much easier Sugarbeat were difficult enough as it was 😊
I’m a farmer from Suffolk England not far from the Bury Saint Edmunds sugarbeet factory
They are a credit to you Father Phil,great to see them willing to work
That poor young fella... he will be glad to get back to school!
That was good days work mack shack burger is tasty you'd sleep after it we found 30 bottles of whiskey in foundation of old shed all perfect
It's extra rooted but it was looking for moisture in the dry weather. Most of it like that this year.
Great video again Phil. I worked with a farmer who used to grow beet. He would move out the wheels on a Massey 165 and span 3 drills and could pull the beet without too much hand pulling. Often done it by hand with frost on the leaves.
Lad down here pulling 150 acres with a single row with handy tyres and no hand pulling as there is no loss with the narrow wheels
Thanks for sharing your vid with us
Great video, like the banter.
Good work phil and team, alot hard work done there, keep videos coming, good too hear beat harvester nearly going.
Great video Phil FairPlay to yous not afraid of the hardwork
Great video phil, good to see you all together, be nice to see the harvester working. As for the shoe definitely not a horse, perhaps a miniature pony !!!!
Great video Phil good to see jess@ bro helping out farther Phil had the easy job 👍👍👍👍
Great job Everybody, that job is well up there with the bog and pickin' stones💪🙏👍
That was good going. You were talking about pulling the beet when I was getting meat on friday night. Job done, video edited and released in a day and a half.
The thump nail really just does say it all good man phill great video
Farmer Phil, I'm across the pond. Enjoy your videos of family farming, and sharing the love of family. By the way, you certainly have a lovely wife. She is a blessing in your life. Have a great day!
Always enjoyed growing and feeding beet, don't miss hand pulling them.
During our ground leveling we collected quite a collection of tank shells from our field`s
Great video again guy's👍. Good crack with u all .🌟bro was flying 😀😀
Nice one Phil, that takes me back its was very hard work
You all work well together, if I had my lot doing that job, they would have been chasing one another around with the knifes, my uncle ploughed up a live mortar, he had to get the bomb disposal team in to sort it out
Fantastic Farmers who work so so hard the whole family.Their the best farmers in the world 🌎.How is Uncle Ian hope he’s doing well.We’re asking after him .Christmas is coming as well.GodBless and Good Luck.🎅🎅🎄🎄🎄🤶🤶🤶🐝🐝🐝🐝🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🥳
Would it be worth grassing a tractor width round the headland and one through the middle of the field next time Phil? Can be mown and baled to keep tidy and make up for the loss of beet?
Makes for a good video this way though.
Do you have a wuzul grinder remember my dear mum picking these with horse and cart I can only remember a machine doing this great job to see the family helping 👍 😀
That brings back unhappy memories. Pulling and chopping mangle wurzel by hand in the cold and rain. Laying them on the ground then throwing them on the trailer afterwards. We used them to feed sheep in winter.
we have planted spring barley round the headlands and beet in the middle as it works well plenty of space to turn
Found coin English one dated 1691 we were picking stones in a tillage field that was back in 1992
Many years ago,when I was a youngun and sugar beets was a commercial crop here, the farmers would send a mower into the field to remove the leaves a few days ahead of the beet digger (puller).
We use to hit the beet together and the clay would fall off, then the whole plant was given to stock, we didn't have to pull it by hand to open the field it was done to feed cattle until harvester could pull the beet
back in the 70s used to pull a trailer load of turnips to feed to cattle late in afternoon every day ,often coverted in snow ,kept tractor MF165 running so that every so often when all feeling from hands lost due to cold you could wrap them round exhaust pipe to defrost them often painfull when blood rushed back to fingers ,occasionally they were frozen into ground and had to use a mell to knock them out
Nice hard work!
Hi phil from herefordshire uk.grown lots of sugar beet over the years here..little tip..a good sized petrol strimmer will top those 6 rows of beet really quickly.then ya just pickem up.keep up the vids .see you again
I lost a wallet 1984 ,had $400 dollars in it, while cultivating corn.found it 10 years later while cultivating corn.no money.worms must have needed it for a party😊
You are all graffters looks good beet
Good video Phil nice to see the hole family out having fun . The bergers looked grate . CRACK ON GOOD LUCK
If that's your sister she is lovely
Great work lads cannot wait to see the harvester in action 😂👌🏻
Quarest yoke we ever found was an old grenade. The father and uncle put it in a biscuit tin and dropped it into the local Garda station. We were half expecting to hear a big bang when they went down the road
You dont see too many people nowadays in fields doing manual work like that, getting the tae in the field is something I never forgot from when I was young, the warm food, smell of the soil and a rest for 10 minutes.
Ah poor father Phil working so hard,Bro really got his A into G,I'd say he's a strong lad when he gets going.
Did plenty of this in the 70s with mangolds and swedes .
Interesting video.
Together work. Last year when super factor was going iworked on tillage dairy famer harvestering suger beat. 1 week. Pulled 7 rows in a v in conner field.. Singel head harvester picked up head land first and double head took over
Found the remains of a little plastic bucket from marmalade when reseeding, 3.17kg or something like that. My guess is it's from around when the lbs were becoming old news
I used to cut mangles the same way for sheep
We started beet lifting by hand 1 year as it was so wet wasn’t that bad a job got it started that year!
One reason that I was given for roots tending to fork was overfeeding the ground, not sure if that is the reason in your case.
I've found horse shoes, pitch form, various tools and equipment parts.
Good evening troops
Grand clean crop!
The most interesting thing I found is a scaffolding plank mowing
Poor Father Phil getting cold LOL
If there a next year, barly on the headland. From a carlow man 👨
Eric is the Beet Badger!
Thanks for the Video. But it's not a terrible Job. I allways enjoyed the harvest. It was hard and dirty work, but we had a lot of fun.
That was tough, bet you were all aching the next day.
Not a job for a frosty morning. Done it years ago along with turnips.
Best thing i ever found in a field was a badge off of some old horse drawn kit that was made in i think wexford i forget the name of the company and cant find the badge to get the name but i found it in a field we did a lot of reclamation work in but talking to the oldest man living in our village that field has never been ploughed in his lifetime and the badge is stamped to around the early 1900s if i remember correctly
I cut coliflower down here in Waterford for a man and every head is cut by hand and boxed and hauled into a curtain trailer ,40 acres of it this year roughly
Harvesting rig is the way to go if doing that much, used to do it that way 25 years ago in kerry but then we got the rig and it saved a pile of donkey work, plus no more wet boxes in the rain, they are a pure gift and well worth the money
Keep us warm that job
They say club root in carrots it is coursed by to much fym 🤔👍not sure if its the same in beat
That was my coin I lost it ages ago 🤣🤣Do you still have said coin can we see it?. Get a metal detector see what else is out there you must have loads of spare time 😜😜👍👍👍👍
good
Evening!
Another great video 👌.
Best thing I've ever found in one of our fields is a big chain I'd lost For 5 years! I was so happy 🙏 because I could go back & tell my Father I never lost it look see!! 😆
Good one.
Sounds like something Bro would say.
i found a chain after 12 years ...............soaked it in diesel for a week and then threw it into a cement mixer along with a few stones ,,,,,,,,,,,,looked like new after 30 minutes .........
Pulling beet by hand is the best job I enjoy that. Covering the silage pit on the other hand is the worst job on the farm
Takes me back to pulling and topping Mangles in the 1960's, back breaking work but you could see what you had done at the end of the day. Nice video as usual good to see you all working together.
Applejack120 Yes I must be a similar age I can almost smell the soil and remember the banter North Yorkshire turnips mangles and spuds remembering a lot of great hard working people that have since passed.
where abouts in north yorkshire did you used to go mangel pulling fella? we used to take 2 or 3 rows at a time and pull them and as you swung them across into the row chop the top off in the same movement !!! then another lad or 2 would come down with a trailer and a pitch fork each and spike em up 2at a time into the trailer!!! bloody donkey work when you think back,but was always a good laugh when mangel time came round each year ,good memories made over the years!!!
iantower6972 yes I recognise that technique alright used to have a heavy "snagging knife" and fork them into the trailer. Later on used to put them through an electric powered chopper feeding them in with the pitch fork and mix rolled corn and a couple of bales of hay into the fold yard. That was near Richmond N.Yorkshire just off Scotch Corner/ A1 to be precise. Like Farmer Phil I used to look forward to the tea and grub coming around but used to kill you for a while when you was bent over again. Good memories.
Yes know Richmond well I'm.only at ripon/ harrogate fella.
Found you by accident just subscribed 😊
Liv made the great escape
All I have ever found was 3 plough tips in almost the same place and last year the stone that broke all these tips was finnaly dragged out
Would you not but 2 or 3 bulls out there for the farm shop Phil after ye have it pulled, to eat up the green leaves
Do you feed it via a mixer wagon into a feed bin for the cattle? A beet bucket would do that job in about 30min, leaf on obviously. But could just feed it in the week to save it spoiling.
We do yes
We did that years ago, why are you pulling the beet and drawing it to the loader? Just go down the drills and pull two rows either side and make rows of the pulled beet then drive the loader down between the rows and use a beet pike to fill the bucket. They seem to have more leaves in the bucket than roots.
Put maze in the headlands thats what done down our way
What day was this going on Its hard to bend down after a big meal
You should rent the feald to a sheep farmer to graze the beet top
Low in boron no beet knives
My grand grandma find in duck s stomach golden tuth whole butchering them
We used to just pulla square in the corners by hand so the tractor cud turn with out trampling the beet. Nothing like wot ye are doing there
Good video everyone. Bros a great worker doesn’t get half the credit he deserves 👍
How come ye didn't collect the whole plant? Would the leaves not have much feed value?
Good video of the family working together. Did you think about putting the narrow spraying wheels on the tractor pulling the beet harvestor and driving between the rows for the opening??. Is the process that much different from a brussles sprout harvesting machine, which is inline with seats (re finnegans farm). Will the harvestor leave the beet a lot cleaner than the hand pulled material???
even with row crops wed still loose the corners and with the weight of the harvester row crops could struggke to pull the harvester around
@@FARMERPHIL3690 Thanks for replying
👍
Is the beet Harvester bandjaxed or is it able to run
my first job at 11 years old was on a strawberry farm. I don't think my back ever recovered from the bending. looks like a good but tiring time.
would the birds and pigs like some beet top? give them something to amuse themselves with..lol
beet tops make egg shells go thin
Nothing wrong with handling turf, ( as i see on the heading of video) When you have the beet harvester in working use again wash it down and grease and oil after use, when you will want it again maybe next year or a few years time all you have to do with it, down with the pick up hitch plug in the pipes and of you go and none of this shit as you have shown down in the field for the last 5 years and looking at scrap
why not leave headlands and a run down middle unplanted so that you don't have to pull by hand?
in a larger field thats what we would of done
Great job but hard work why can’t ye use the harvester to pull all the beat
Liv was missed but she deserves a break too
Hardest working family out there 👍🏻 wil you be using the cleaner loader this year or is it out of action.
Plan is to use it
@@FARMERPHIL3690 thanks mate
I'd say there was a bit of Craic had Phil. Will you wash that beet now before feeding it out? Sorry for the silly question but I haven't seen much Beet used as fodder.
Hope Mrs Farmer Phil enjoyed her trip. 👍
Yes it’ll be washed and chopped
@@FARMERPHIL3690 looking forward to the next installment of the beet. Can't wait to see how the boys finish on it. 💪
godsake move on we in 2022
Stick on the narrow wheels and pull the feckin field.. don’t be giving yourself hardship..
I’ve done my fair share of that job by hand 😂
Why picks few by hand when u are Machine picking soon
What size is the field, did you say a hectare.
A hectare yes
👍🙏😁❤️🇨🇮
Why won’t you feed the beet tops
Too much hassle trying to stock proof the field and supply water
So a Jenny or Jennet is simply a female Donkey. A Hinny is a male Horse crossed with a Female Donkey and a Mule is a male Donkey crossed to a female horse. I'm with some others that it looks like a shoe for a miniature horse, Shetland pony maybe???
