$100k replacement difference between a 600 wheeled tractor vs a track machine. Mostly clay to medium loam, bugger all sand. 60ft DBS & 27k tow between bin. Tyres currently doing the job well on a 550.

Overwatch & trifluralin done a handy job in some Maximus. A blocked seed tube showing how the struggle to control ryegrass in the row is the battle. Narrower row spacing = more rows & growth opportunities but increased competition… damned if you do, damned if you don’t 🤷🏼‍♂️

Forecast 10 and get more than double. Seem’s thats the pattern for July ’21 here. 180 odd ml and knowing how crops will cope is an unknown for me. Bit out of my depth. Pun intended.

A big few days for many. A big few years ahead to fix the mess. Finished burying close to 600 full wool ewes today. The damage to 200yo or more trees is simply astonishing. Around 6000ac burnt. As usual though, the offers of help have been simply amazing!

From the Narrogin Fire last week. Truely heartbreaking seeing the devastation, but also beautiful how the community came together and helped those effected.

Any Landcruiser gurus know if a gearbox out of a 2010 79 series V8 would be compatible with a ‘95 HZJ 75 series? Old girl has thrown the towel in and wondering about upgrading my 79 to the current taller ratio’d box and putting the existing 79 box into the 75? Cheers

New tractor and bar ordered nearly a year ago is due tomorrow… well half of it anyway. One sowing opportunity largely missed earlier in the month & also possibly the next. Sometimes the big risks in Ag are things out of your control. Time will tell if the FOMO was justified!

Have a mate who’s a commercial pilot. Sent me these pics tonight. The lights are mostly all tractors working with the distant glow being Perth. Approx Wongan Hills area. Reckons you can always tell when it’s seeding and harvest!

Need some new shearing dungers but it seems no one makes them with front pockets anymore. Is this correct?! I’m no gun shearer but reckon they’re the best work pants, but maybe not so without pockets… The ag industry has enough challenges on its plate already and now this! 😏

Farewelled one of our old W7 International tractors that the old man cut his teeth on today. Donated it to the horsepower highway crew in Gnowangerup. Be good to see it on the road someday all spruced up! jeremy bailey Glenn 'Yogi' Kendall

Spent a week in the Douglas Daly NT with the Howies. Mates since school. The change in the ag landscape in the past few years is big. From primarily cows, cavalcade & Jarrah grass to butterfly & cowpeas, irrigated & dryland cotton, a seed business & a few sheep & goats & more.

Got Starlink up and running yesterday and so far it’s that far ahead of our current NBN it’s lonely. Respective speeds at around 8am for comparison…

Anyone run Right Weigh spring suspension scales on their tippers? Are they as accurate as airbag scales in a paddock environment where a flat, hard surface isn’t always possible?

Have seen some decent Wedge Tailed Eagle nests around the farm before but this one appears to be the biggest house on the street! Guessing 2.5-3m deep atop an old 20m plus tall salmon gum.
