    Going rates for farm staff?

    Just to put the cat amongst the pigeons….. If I was to be dropped in to this job( which sounds great), pick up where your brother leaves off, help to maintain yield/improve yield with new and improved ideas taken from the successful dairy farm I’ve come from. Drive tractors to a high standard...

    I only asked about the McMullen ground as they seem to have put an awful lot of trees in recently.

    I’ve got a quick fencer for deer net but it’s manual tensioning. My smaller quickfencer is getting a bit tired, and I’ve seen a couple of videos of the solonet working. Quite fancy the hydraulic tensioning to speed things up a bit.

    What do you like about it Sam? Been thinking about changing out the quickfencer. Are you on a bit of McMullen ground?

    I find that if there is stock pressure from both sides the 40 mm can give a little. The creosote acts like a lubricant. on the plus side, I can strain netting round two or three turners using creosote posts as the creosote allows the wire to pull round the posts nicely. I don’t normally strain...

    Just splashed out on a Milwaukee gun to replace a cordless Stockade gun, which just sh!t itself. The new gun can fire 50 mm staples which will suit us now as we are using mainly creo.

    It’s a softish brick consistency. someone just suggested it could be the decorative top from a roof ridge tile?

    What was this for?

    Found in a load of crushed concrete. Too small for drainage. Could it be irrigation, under floor heating. How old could it be?

    Jack, no decent contractor could answer your question without more information. Easy situation: 600m in a straight line, so 3 strainers, therefore two pulls. Nice clay to knock into, lawn like grass. Flat. 5 miles from my yard. I’d want to do that in two days.

    What do you think of your Milwaukee grease gun?

    We’ve got two. Love them. When changing tubes, screw canister back into gun with new tube inside, release the plunger from captive notch and twist until the plunger cannot be pushed in. Then push the plunger as hard as you can, briefly. Then twist the plunger again and push gently home...

    Thanks for all the advice so far. I may well be looking elsewhere.
