Some characters on here probably need to build a bridge and get over themselves. With regard to this argument between people who run new gear compared to older gear, there are numerous different circumstances out there that people find themselves in and no one recipe is going to be right for everyone..... I know of people that can't justify a combine but if they enjoy the art of harvesting and want to , then who gives a stuff what the pros and cons of running old gear are. Some people take a lot pride in keeping old gear tidy and reliable and can do it well.

Similarly if someone wants to spend the big money on a new combine, then what is the point in putting them 'in a box' by implying that they are just big noting show ponies. There are good reasons for buying or hiring new even if some cannot see them.

I would suggest that some of those p!ss taking individuals are just as ignorant as those that they are criticising.

i was always impressed by the way kiwis looked after their gear, first rate maintainance, unlike lots of brits, especially livestock farmers.

Ive got a theory about stock farmers...

1...they see an empty shed, they would rather fill it with livestock even if they lose money on them rather than put thier machinery in it under cover

2...they think nothing of a £1000 vets bill for a few antibiotics or injections, but if the loader tractor needs a 1000hr service, its like the apocalypse is coming

3...if it cant be fixed with either a 14lb hammer, silage tape, or hesston twine, its not worth fixing

4...washing down machinery is something what happens when a new pope is elected

5..grease...you know, that stuff in tubes what makes things slippy and last longer...

All prototype machines should be tested by stock farmers. If they can't break them it can't be broken.

Do they not value grease similar to gold ?

Where do they get them maintenance fairies from put a machine away with a knackered bearing and it gets fixed over winter .. Trouble is it only seems to last 500 yds

 

[Will Blackburn]

Truth is while you arable boys can only justify knackerered old machines, livestock lads need new gear that won't need much maintenance and the latest sat nav for fert and spray on grassland.

[spikeislander]

Theres always a grease gun in the cab though whenever I have to get on a stockmans machine I always seem to end up with grease on my jeans
