I think its about time i done a world tour o farming The smallest one we had was a Case 395, it was only used sometimes for pulling a small 40ft seeder in smaller paddocks or for spraying sometimes. All of the work was done with artics 450hp and up. Case 395 and 40ft Gason sowing rig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kojak Posted November 2, 2009 Author Share Posted November 2, 2009 more great pictures are most of the tractors purchased new or are they secondhand from Europe, US? All the tractors are new and kept for 3 to 4 seasons maximum before being replaced but they work up a lot of hours....almost directly after harvest all the tractors are run 24hrs cultivating, gas fertilizing, seeding and lots of other jobs in between. The kelly chains almost never stop from a few weeks after harvest until the crop is in the ground. The steigers are brought in new from the US. Same with the combines after every 3 seasons, they work hard too....starting in Qld and zig zagging all the way down to South Australia for the wheat harvest then they're straight back to Qld for the sorghum harvest.
