    Mine is arriving in mid March ( hopefully) and I haven't been told that. I have been told that to order a 8r now you are looking at 12-14 month delivery times.

    Australia burns , what effect is it having on national stock / crop levels

    Farmer Roy,that is probably the best reply I have read in this whole discussion about bushfires and drought. I know that most of NSW is in drought but we never really are told of the personal cost in the way that you have just put it. We have had "droughts" here but not like what is happening on...

After undergoing chemo for 2 months and numerous tests I was allowed to go home and carry on living and farming. Several specialists also told me that non Hodgkin lymphoma is...

    I have about 1100ha arable land( 900ha crop and 200ha pasture) and a further 400ha of bush(not allowed to clear) and salt affected land. Why can we get by without subs?

    Where did I tell the British how they should run their interests? All I did in the original post was show that Australian farmers receive the 2nd lowest rate of govt assistance in that group of countries.

    Ouch! " classified Australia in the developed world". Maybe thats why more kiwis are coming to Australia to live than Australians going to New Zealand to live, to improve their standard of living. And to all the people who took that comment seriously get a life. What happens in Dunedin I don't...

    Ag Subsidies

    From memory the Saudi sheep market has been going for over 20 years. The federal govt has spent a lot of taxpayers money pandering to the bleeding heart brigade in an effort to make the live sheep export market to the middle east more humane.But as we all know,if a sheep doesn't want to live,it...

    My definition of the real world in agriculture is where the farmer is paid market price for what they produce/sell and receives no financial assistance from the government Tony

    Why shoot a hound when it is only doing what it is trained to do and what comes naturally to any dog,hunt for its food.She should have locked the huntsmen up in the hen house to see how they like it. Tony

    JD 8245r vs Fendt 828

    Two dealers have told me that I cannot have 50kph ivt and ils in a JD 8245 with Tier 2 engine. To get that I have to pay approx $20000 extra and buy a Tier 4 engine and for that money I can buy a Tier 2 JD 8270 with 50kph ivt and ils.But the Fendt 930 is still about $20,000 cheaper than the 8270...

    JD 8245r vs Fendt 828

    I am thinking of trading a 2010 8245R with 50kph and ivt for either a JD 8270 with the same or a Fendt 828 or 930( which the dealer has in his yard). My 8245 has integrated sf1 autosteer, does anyone know what Fendt uses and is it any good. I also have Apex, does Fendt have something similar...
