:banghead: ffs. I'll get to bed eventually..... already fixed 4 leaks in channel bank. 1 big 1 twice that I cant get the loader too. Then I find this bàstard.View attachment 953879.

Do you get much success with that gold dust around stops. I have only used it once, but still had blowouts.
I now use gravel from my pit which was used for road base. Enough sand and it sets hard and never cracks.

In general yes. That's the first stop I've had blowout for some time. Previous owner used it to seal a big channel on new farm that spearpoint fills for pivot. Doesn't leak at all now. Not sure if the mice helped open up the cracks around the stop. Bàstards seem to be responsible for widening some cracks in the padded up channel that had the other leaks.

Pesky yabbies. :LOL:
 
@Steel . Think we both might have been lucky buying when we did. Old man was talking to Pyle today. Judge threw out the MDBA and federal government's defense against us. Told them their defense was "infintile". If we get the compensation they asked for there will be a lot of cashed up farmers looking for land.

I always thought it was a long shot, but worth being in. If we get a win I might get a bigger airseeder and tractor and pay off debt.

You may remember me posting pics a month ago after a fire at a hay processing facility 20kms from here.....
Well , heres another one. A lot further away this time..

Maybe I'm a bit cynical ..... but 2 fires at 2 separate facilities....a few months after ALL Chinese import licenses were suspended.....And with China being the largest market.... seems convenient :unsure:
