One Man to a Thousand Acres

A chassis/cab version of a HiLux type vehicle with a full width flat tray and drop sides is so much more useful than what is sold in the UK as a pickup [emoji6]

Incredible, the difference in resale value down here...

 

[Farmer Roy]

Oh come on when one of you wise guys was drinking and driving his pickup and saying fudge you that was funny

Here ya go mate

Some of my neighbours goats cleaning up some spilt grain at my silos

ps - goats are in the background
pps - f**k ya

 

[Farmer Roy]

You've owned a land rover then

Actually, I have a 60 yr old Series 1 Land Rover here, no rust at all

My 20 yr old HZJ75 no rust at all

How do you get them to pee in the bottle.
Do you aussies train them to do that?

 

[Farmer Roy]

Goats are clever

Everything here rusts like hell, inless its permanently caked in mud or you keep it parked inside and dont use it.

As much as I'd like a pickup (preferably with an ally back) I just can't justify the loss of load space.

My farm ute is a long wheel base Iveco Daily.

I can get quad, 4 dogs and sh!t loads of fencing as well as all stock marker and meds in the back. And still have to tow bar free to move the handling system.

Even got a waterproof washable container for dead stock, with a pulley to help loading.

So it doesn't have 4wd. If I need to go off road, I'll take the quad.

Farming here is such a piece of pee & so easy, we gotta fill the day in somehow . . .

Ffs , we knew that 40-50 years ago

 

[Farmer Roy]

Or even 60 yrs ago ( 1957 )

Nearly all " farmer " or tradies Utes have a flat tray with drop sides, even the dual cab ones

Pickups like you lot drive are pretty much substitute cars for townies . . .

That's why they now have crap like electric windows, carpet & f**king softcock auto trans . . .
And before ANYONE says any different, a manual clutch still gives you far more control in difficult 4wd conditions than an auto does ( assuming you know how to drive )
