Arable farmers, is it essential that……

[GeorgeK]

F*ck me some of you guys must have an easy life if these are your greatest worries

It's a race against time in the arable game. I sometimes wonder if it's even worth taking the skiing boots off, the schedule can be that tight

You can keep your scratchy dusty corn to yourselves……barley,horrible stuff and don’t regret growing it one bit.

Would rather rob an arable farmer who has to take on another 500 acres to justify his ‘on the tick’ Lexion.

I’ve done it wrong again! Got a Lexion but I’m not on Twitter … am I missing anything?!!
Perhaps I’ll post a photo on here of the temperature gauge when it overheats

I gave you a like for that although I am jealous so would have preferred an unlike button

Not that I have to worry this year, lexion is sold and I just have to call my 2 contractors with big yellow machines. No costly unexpected breakdowns for me

You also need a “fleet” photo. If you don’t have a unimog or “mog yaahhh” then you are clearly not a farming champion!

Ah, the fleet photo. The carrot that's dangled on every self respecting farm's harvest student wanted advert. I always feel they should be captioned with 'These are the toys we will be using whilst you are hoovering dead mice out of the grain store air ducts.'

Was it Thick Farmer (apologies if not) who gave a great summary for starting combining along the lines of, remember where we parked it last, wash the windows, fill it with diesel and start

 

[Wombat]

Mine is remember what wasn’t working when I put it in the shed, fix all of those, remove all the stuff that was stacked on under or round it. Empty the trailers of whatever is in them and have a go

Harvest for many livestock farmers is over or at least 50% unless you are on a big maize diet.

Harvest does not start as late as July for many.

Seriously,is the price going south as there is a bumper crop on the cards?

(And I was pulling legs apart from the Lexions being on tick.)

Really? We start in mid April and will cut right through to November

Wholecrop SB up next followed by 3rd or 4th cut depending on block followed by 5th cut followed by maize followed by big bales.

Arable farmers will be off skiing long before we’ve done

just taken that screen shot now

Beef and sheep guys will be mostly done , dairy guys seem to go 9 months of the year now.

My point is that various unions and ag companies state its harvest season be aware of farm machinery, but its every month someone is harvesting something

Why would you want a machine that bursts into flames

Looks a bit heavy for my liking

Not a lexion, and wheels are painted wrong colour, but I'm happy. And I know we're tipping over back of the trailer, but it was 1st time around field, tank was full (see what I did, bit of bragging there ), so just reversed through gateway.

Hopefully another 20 years work left in it.
