Never seen a forager working in my area although i do know where there is a jf 900 in a shed. Not many foragers built anywhere else in the world these daysYes,buying European foragers to chop grass seems to be the way ahead,just like we have been doing for the last 40 years

I believe the only farm around here that had one only ran it for a few years as they had to set roads up through the fields as the only roads they could fit it on were the dual carriageway and the main road where it took up 3ft of the lane with oncoming trafficYouTube paying the hp on a quadtac!. People round here are all going away from them now back to 300 hp wheeled tractor that are more versatile. 5500 acres here in one block and they found it a nightmare to get anywhere.

The roads are all wide round Olly's farm so should be fine.
Imagine the amount of mud it will trail onto road when it leaves field. Need the Solis ready
Be interesting seeing quadtrack on Hogg low loader,!

You could be right. I’d assumed all built in Europe but no idea.
edit
according to google all built in Europe. Might not be right though
Either way,my point was Australia is hardly ahead of us in terms of advanced farming.
New low loader on the way...

we’ve been using gps autosteer for 20 years here. Vra and section control as long.
camera technology for sprayers for almost as long. Think there is a few things we’ve been a long way ahead of you guys.
Fully autonomous tractors already working also

Drove one in Essex in late 90s, during one move we encountered some roadworks which I couldn’t fit thru. Boss got out, moves cones and signals in a very irate manner to mount the bloody verge and get on. Which I did and completely levelled a freshly sculpted roadside verge as the council guys looked on in bewilderment before turning to anger. 🫣
Congratulations
Most of that being driven by uk and Irish lads?

how would I know who is driving it all. I guess all of mine is being driven by a uk person except when he wife is driving.
pretty the autonomous stuff is driving itself.
don’t know where this animosity is coming from with regards au farming.
No animosity towards Au farming
Not sure where I said that?

You seem to have a problem with it. Also don’t seem to understand it either. A grassmen video is not representative of the whole country.
Plenty of people of all nationalities working on farms. Guys and girls.
this is a very progressive country when it comes to tech and new ideas. It’s a tough climate so if people don’t embrace new ideas they won’t stick it.
I couldn’t care less about Au or NZ farming .
I’m sure it’s a very progressive country

Locals don't want to work long hours I was told when I worked there . Needed away early for hobbies and kids, which is fair enough.
Backpackers of all nationalities were just there to work and earn money. Which is why they preferred us
