Is it a nice dry crisp cold? Its not as bad as a damp cold that just chills you right through. Coldest iv been in was -16c in france but was nice dry crisp cold and it wasnt that cold to be outside in-23°C here, gets cold with a slight breeze.
Wind isn’t a fire hazard here as it’s accompanied by horizontal rain
I remember being in south Australia and it was over 40 degrees and they were seriously worried about fires. It wasn’t nice
Hellishly tight fit turning off the track and negotiating the channel crossings
What is it? A dust making machine !Put to work this morning. Just fits through the gateways
Wide board or smuger is what we call them. Essentially it's used to break up soil cldgs and smoth rough paddocks. Most under rated peice of gear in the world in our conditions.What is it? A dust making machine !
We got some rain today. For 5 minutesSunlight, 38C and they give him a beanie hat and jacket!
Especially underrated if you have winter grazed dairy cattle. You can't disc/plough heavy flat ground to get a smooth seed bed , and then expect to graze it over winter if it's wet. We don't all have nice big sheds and acres of concrete. This filks the pug marks without working the ground up. Keeps it traffic able.
Thats a serious leveller!! For skimming irrigation bays? Do you put the lazer on it or not?Ordered a Esky in October of 2022It finally turned up today.. View attachment 1163911

I used my leveller for pugging and did an ok job, i will try again now its dried off, probably lacks weight, was talking to a mate last nite about this exact problem and the best kit to deal with it.
Be the machine for the job. As long as you can get the ground dry. Dunstan engineering a smaller one. Those Collier & Miller ones are the best. You couldn't break one. You will pay for it. Few others made locally but probably would be to big for your area. Most of them the board folds side ways. Thus making this 40ft train of thing to try and swing in small gates.
No laser. It's technically just a finishing board. Ideal for unlabeled ground to smooth it out. E.g. Pivots pre sowing for Lucerne.
I looked at a Dunstun. Rang and was going to get one. Got price off salesman, only to get a phone call from the boss to say "stiff sĥìť, I'm not making any when it takes the same amount of time to build a mother bin that's worth 3 times as much". So he can get stuffed. Plus they are amateurish compared to this one. Point 1, welded blade. Major major job to replace. Collier &Miller...bolted on. Point 2 . Dunstan, fixed wheels in front of blade. Bounces when smudging rough paddocks. Collier &Miller....Wheels moveable from front to back and vice versa. Plus this thing is heavy....4.5 tonnes...No bouncing with that.
I think levelling is hugely underrated.
Not sure about the leveller but the sunshine looks bloody amazingPut to work this morning. Just fits through the gateways
I’d settle for it just being dry enough to use the thing here
Add in the wind and it goes straight into your bones.
