[QUOTE="Kiwi Pete, post: 7511879, member: 63856"] It's a rare state of bliss, like Henarar said 😅 the main issue on a dairy seemed to be, the more like child's play/ painting by numbers it gets, the sillier the questions and the more we go onto autopilot 🙄 in saying that, it is bloody good. Even with sticking up short reels from node to node in the meantime, great saving on time and fencing gear: just drop the loop with the handle over one arrow and walk to the other one, put 2 pigtails in and call it a fence. Even the youngest lad (bright, but tiny, a bit like me) can shift the calves in a couple of minutes. It's freed me up SO much that I managed to get a fair bit done yesterday.. Got my ploughing job smoothed out with the discs, some pipe laid under the traffic areas, and 7km of lane wire pulled out (y) and two mobs got 3 shifts each by the kids. Oh and drove 20 posts with the knocker, just beside the creeks and over the sharper crests, to stop the dreaded "lean-on" with the wire pulling down on arrows. So we are well on track! [/QUOTE]
