The cow is travelling quickly for having it's vision reduced so much, although it can see out of the bucket's bottom end.
As it passes by the bucket can be heard dangling and jumping up and down on the cow's head, as the video clip comes to an end.
Most Facebook users found the funny side to the video, with some coming up with puns.
Darren Mackie quipped: "A barrel of laughs."

Another, Craig McGovern, joked that it looked "likes something out of Ferdinand," an animated comedy movie about a bull with a big heart who is mistaken for a dangerous beast.
Some people did express concerns for the animal's welfare, with Valentina Conway saying: "Aww poor beast it needs help not laughed at!"
But Louisa replied: "I can assure you no animals were hurt as part of this video....
"Also the farmer was there and well aware. Cows love to play. It wasn’t in any distress."
