What are you going to be drilling?

All sorts of different vegetables, likely to be doing radishes and onions first, just waiting on the other seeding discs to come next week.

This might be an odd question but would appreciate any feedback. Anyone price a John Deere 6140M with autoquad recently. Our prices here in South Africa has shot through the roof. I know our currency doesnt help the situation at all but was just wondering if its inline with what the rest of the world is seeing. If I work it out directly to what the exchange rate is at this moment of R22.50 to a pound the results would be.

Bought a 6175M in Oct '19 and paid R1 660 000 ZAR for it. (73777 pounds)

Bought a 6195M with command quad and a few other extras in March '20 and paid R2 280 000 ZAR for it. (101333 pounds)

Got a quote today for a 6140M for R1 750 000 ZAR. (77775 pounds) Quoted one in Oct '19 as well and it was R1 350 000 ZAR. (60000 pounds).

Is this something you guys also experiencing or is it just our currency making it impossible to afford these tractors?

Mascor Kenya quoted me 12m Kenya shillings 2 years ago for a 6140m or £ 92000 at the time so I bought a better spec New Holland t 7040 for £78000 equivalent. About a month ago they offered the same 6140m to me at 9m Kenya shillings or £63000 in today’s money having not sold it yet

Got our new bedformer today. Then we had a meeting about how to remove it from the container. The winning vote was chain and forklift and drag

I was in a hurry to pick up the wife so it was dragged out but we wrapped some sacks around it to stop too much scratching.
