Want a Tractor !

Here at a small town up the Mid West Carnamah (Carn-a-mar)we have a brand new exhibit that was fabricated out of steel & welded up displaying for tourists just a few weeks ago.
Apparently it is the largest model of a tractor in the world I'm standing next to the left rear wheel and I'm 193cm aint no way I can drive this sucker !

I have a few pics we were away for 8 days 1 was a rest day touring abandoned stations and other scenic spots around the Gascoyne & Murchison regions in our NW 3,150 Klm's.
Fly's by the 0000's best kit was a fly net !

That one's more your size...after the gantry cranes and huge movers, should be nothin' for you to flash up and go.

Giver 'er a crank Cinders and see if she starts up.

Best be careful. Back-kick on that'd probably launch a certain bloke to Tasmania!

Yeah, and aim right!!!

I'll dig out pictures of a set up I was operating when a farmhand on a 33,000 acre wheat & sheep farm at Wilroy near Mullewa (Mull - eh - wah) it was a Steiger Panther 325 Hp 4 wheel drive articulated tractor pulling John Shearer disc plows 2 x 30's & 1 x 22 discs giving a total of 82 discs for a 100 foot cut.

You had to be very careful in the closing stages of ploughing the paddock you did not turn too sharp lest you turn the last plough inside out then plan the finishing doing the headlands so your exiting the paddock, there is allot more to it than just sitting there going around & around.
You have to watch your speed as the ploughs will beginning to jump & bounce making it difficult to harrow smoothly or seed, watching the depth not to deep or shallow then the performance of the tractor not bogging it down or getting to much wheel slip we had average 800 acre paddocks a few were a 1000 acres.
Got some other moments up there that well were quite serious at the time but would have seemed funny if you were watching it from the side like my fire racking episode with the 215 Hp John Deere 4 wheel drive & 2 Pederick root rakes
