Light Land

Tractor and his driver both have one thing in common,they like to drink the heavly taxed liquids. 

Looks like a realy nice sunny day there,kinda wish I was there.

Bit late getting here (due to FB and markys daily BS I have to read though)

I love the combine pictures realy coool.I might sound silly but them plains are a bit close to a stubble paddock at harvest arn't they or is ok for em to be there??  :)

ain,t she a beut

[move]YES YES IT IS[/move]

Smart pictures mate.Nice and big just the way we like em.

Most farmers are not keen on people hanging around there farm for many reason's.

As I've said to NH2 a few times before you should make yourself known to the farmer at a time when he's not flat out combining or what ever then when you are out walking with the camera and see his combine runing he will know that you are just a young lad keen on farming and want stress or wonder what your doing in his trees.

You will also not need to take off when he gets to the headland.

If time is on the farmers side and you ask nicely he may even be happy to let you do a round or two with him,which would make any ones day.

I have had people in the past taking pictures/asking for rides of me working and I have of others working,You may be suprised what a tractor driver will say if you ask him for a ride up and back at a time that is ok for him.

Now that local farmers over the years know that I love farming and some times like to just sit on the hood of my ute and watch they often will slow down on the head land and push the door open for me to come over for a ride and a chat a few time's I've been offered jobs (mx 285 6920 TM 165 etc)because over time they have found I mean them zero harm unlike some of the other youth that get up to no good at night on the back roads taking tools and the likes.

indeed it wasnt...

Oli will want one of those! :D

Funny you should say that. 

Yer yer very funny.

Your keen,Don't think I'd last 20 miles. \

Fish n chips it is then hey 

3 scania 8 legger sheep trucks over taking me one after the other while try to turn off the road with a trailer that acts like a small kid after a can of coke.

Shorts of it look some what poor.

Hang your posting some well fit pic's of late.

Cool tractor 

Gob smacked  :o :o :o :o

The above is all I can get out due to the amount of drool coming out of me mouth.

Lights on in the day, your as bad as me!!

That was frist thing in the morning,just got light.

Wonder what tris's step ladder would do to that JD mower if he left it in the paddock.

It must be tempting to start it off, get out, walk to the other end of the field and have a brew

If it had GPS you could take your paper work/book with you.Often some one from the labour dept drives that because it's not that hard you just gotta keep an eye on things.

Realy nice pictures,the day looks like a real hay making day.

FB in the sheep yards for a day it is then.

You can't many ppl that want to do that kind of work here,I reckon the bulbs should be trucked to one of our over full prisons and give them crim's a brake from there playstaions in the form of a few bulbs.

Bit like Gav said.....It could be spraying on fungicide into the seed tuber furrow just before the furrow is closed.Products like amistar are sprayed into the furrow to keep the tuber clean for the frist few weeks,this stuff needs to be sprayed close to the tuber because it only works when it is touching the tuber.

Made this from a wine cork a fair while back but only found it again today so snapped it while the camera was out.

I was thinking you could put silage bugs in it and plum it up to a baler  \

All in all a very slow job.

This odd looking bit of kit is used to pull stalks out of the bulbs while in the ground to save on labour in the pack house.

1100rpm @.5kph is the avg speed,if you go faster then you miss some stalks.

The plates spin around and pushed togther for a split second thus pulling out the stalk as the plates are spining backwards.

On row crop wheels the ride is a little rough because of the plates always pushing at each other.

Enjoy 

Turned up safe and sound,did'nt take long for me to work out what tractor should be used too power that beast of harrow.

Thanks Ricky.

Fixed the model useing TM's advice and it came up a treat.While it was in hand I added a little detail by painting all the nozzels red and adding some old oil look to the booms lifting chain and lastly put on some safety signs.

Cheers Sean.
