Order myself one of these comes out of NSW I believe, pricey but what cost do you put on lot production. But also I added and extra fuel hose and nozzle and electron fuel gauge. Fill it up beginning of season got enough fuel to last me untl end of harvest.

The hilux and ranger are similar. They all have batteries with recessed terminals. Designed for people who call road side assist instead of helping themselves. Not practical at all.

Amarok/Ranger supposedly the most capable 4wd ute on the market. Just donโ€™t go thinking you will fit a decent size jumper lead onto a decent size terminal

Nah mate just have a look around. I use the app called Made In China have bought an air compressor off it. Itโ€™s 100% legit and the salespeople are really easy to deal with. If you hunt around youโ€™d be able to find the right people to help un load it in perth and get it to you

Fuel storage; there are the $80-100k bulk storage tanks, but have also heard poly water tanks are perfectly good for diesel. Whatโ€™s the go do you think? With talks of the middle east arcing up yet again, maybe now would be a sensible time to stock up for harvest

Fair to say I presented a โ€œrobust counterargumentโ€ when @belvarischetti asked my views on ACCUs (Aust Carbon Credits) in an interview for todayโ€™s @ABCRural Countryhour. The Safeguard Mechanism and ACCUs are a heavy burden on doing business in Australia (that we all ultimately pay for), with 80-90% of projects to date independently found to either do nothing, or actually reduce carbon captured. It is a bogus marketplace built entirely by and for beaurocracy. No wonder we are exporting our investment, jobs and emissions offshore at an alarming rate. Full credit to the innovators who are exploring new ways to improve our soils, and well done for getting paid extra to do it, but listen in if you want to know why our business is not signing up just yet ๐Ÿ‘‡ Link in replies.

Question for accountants out there: what will the CGT changes mean for large capital equipment investments made with full Instant Asset Writeoff during covid when they come to trading in? It was always going to trigger a large CGT event, but will it now have an even larger sting in the tail? I can envisage it potentially making those purchases significantly worse off than if no IAW discount had been applied in the first place now that the rules have changed ex post facto

Iโ€™m not saying we are all the way there yet by a long shot, but ๐Ÿ’ฏ the system we have adopted in our business to build soil quality does seem to me to be correlated to our relatively low need for pesticides compared to industry benchmarks.
Healthy soil could be one of agricultureโ€™s best defences against crop disease. #PlantPathology #PlantProtection #PlantHealth #SoilHealth #Microbiomes #SustainableAgriculture Read more: curtin.edu.au/news/media-relโ€ฆ

Not as flash as your resowing rig @brill_ag . 11mm hole in a drum filled with canola, a fire harrow and 30km/h. Worked well canola now up. Metering blockage in bottom of bin.

Wow, 24.7% drop in land values quarter on quarter is a staggering number. Balance sheets will be bleeding all over the floor! Does this stack up in your area? Todayโ€™s @westaustralian

So itโ€™s not just farm machinery that does this silly nonsense then
The hydraulic pin holding the tower arm in place did not retract. If that can be fixed tonight, there will be another launch attempt tomorrow at 5:30 CT.
