That one is preheated for Australian conditions.Seem to remember @cows sh#t me to tears fancying a Merlo......but maybe not the hot variety.
Was quite a "good" burn, not too sure how it started yet, as it HAD been checked for starlings and wasn't covered in trimmings, either.
Balclutha VFB had the machine extinguished by the time our tanker arrived (we still don't know why they didn't call the Balclutha tanker, which was half the distance to the incident, but hey ho) but needed more water to put out the fire on the cutting, before it spread into last year's trash from tree removal; a wind change and it would have been major major veg fire.
It is starling season here again, an issue I have partly solved by taking the battery out of my tractor until next winter! ?
