Phone says 37c in the words of larry emdur...survey saysView attachment 757246tractor ac is flat out, but jesus h christ it's hot in here
yeah, I hate sitting in tractor cabs in peak summer
I also get sick of people saying " oh it must be easy with the air conditioning "
feck off
youre stuck in a glass box, on top of about 12 tonne of very hot metal, in the full sun on a high 30's - 40's C day, with the sun coming through the glass at you
AC on full, struggling to cope
AC just about makes it bearable, but it certainly not "luxury" or comfortable . . .

Only tractor that is the exception to that rule is our old 7210 magnum. If I was in that I would have a jumper on I think they must have charged the system with Canadian eskimo farts

thankfully, im sitting in my house doing the BAS
as there has been no income, only expenses this quarter, Im looking forward to a nice return on the GST ( VAT for the Poms )
Unfortunately, as I have a Tax Debt with the ATO, any GST return just bypasses my bank account & goes in circles back to the ATO, even though I do have a Payment Plan in place
still, its better than being stuck in a glass oven out in the open
re tractor A/C, you really notice the difference in the cab temp ( momentarily ) when a cloud goes over & youre not in full sun

I had a 7140 magnum. Put a LOT of hours on it & it was a good old bus, but found things I shouldn't have one day when I dropped the oil, so got rid of it quick
. But you are right, they did have about the best ACCertainly WAY ahead of JD at the time with their tiny cabs & sitting so close to the glass

What will that steep of land be used for now. Looks as if it was recently cleared?
Also looks steep

One thing I do love about the massey is the space on the floor. No other tractor I have come across has room for the little engelI had a 7140 magnum. Put a LOT of hours on it & it was a good old bus, but found things I shouldn't have one day when I dropped the oil, so got rid of it quick

Yeah, the odd steep pinch. What happened there was there must have been a spring underneath, with "potting mix" swept over the top. The bottom side just sunk, up to the rear mudguard...What will that steep of land be used for now. Looks as if it was recently cleared?

Our accommodation block had a shed built over house.
House was actually a accommodation block from Sydney Olympics.

Well, as far as it wasn't clear enough for me yet, you guys really convinced me to stay here in a nice modest climate. f**k me I hate hot weather. Aswell as cold...
I do love moaning however so I got that going for me.

That’s why they are making those gully traps along the bottom of the field to catch the topsoil as it runs off!!!nice amount of groundcover to hold that soil in place when it rains
Is that ragwort round the feedrings?

Yeah, the place is an absolute mess of them, it's sheep-deficient...
Another one of your unfair advantages then having that stuff !

If you set stock, or just mow, it seems to come from nowhere!
TBH I haven't seen raggies like that in a while, the place belongs to a doctor and most of the gates just stay open - that's the unfair advantage (I'd want 600 paddocks on my hundred acres)
Same here seems to survive many years of arable cropping then just appear from the seed bank as soon as grass is sown , horse owners and enviro schemes get the best yields though
What are these 4 up to. Drag race maybe?

But then they split up. May be doing a pinsser manoeuvre on @Yale or @hendrebc, they were heading in that direction.
Sometimes the likes of Airbus will do promo videos of the aircraft.
Could have been that?
