Not so much on farms here, but backhoes like that are still very popular here in construction etc at Council, we a number of fairly new CAT backhoes. Very useful machines & fast on the road

Seems a few had similar views 🤣

We are a lot further north than @Kiwi Pete ( about 31 degrees S ), but apparently you could see it here last night. I didn’t, cos I was asleep, ( & it was raining ) but will have a look tonight normally, you can only see the “southern lights” from Tasmania, we are way too far north to see them

not seeing a plough is the best possible thing that could happen to the soil 👍😁

By far the bulk of the worlds maize crop would be planted full zero till, on heavy ground . . .

I far prefer manuals to autos, especially for work / farm vehicles( which I think should always be base models, basic spec vehicles ) , but to be honest, I don’t plan to buy another new work vehicle anyway . My 2014, manual, 3.0 Hilux has at least another 10 or 20 years life in it & I am...

It’s definitely NOT about making gun owners out to be bad guys. You do have to remember, it is the cops who are the main ones facing & at risk of being shot we’ve had some high profile police shootings in the last few years, of cops just doing their job & not coming home at the end of their...

kids here steal cars all the time for drug fuelled kicks, try & be as visible & make as much noise as they can ( do burnouts & circle work in front of the police sergeants house for eg ), then dump them & burn them. It’s just a revolving door of courts . . . however, ANYTHING to do with guns is...

it’s a bit like running trucks ( HGV ) here, semi trailers, single trailer, B Double or Triple, or multiple trailer Road Trains It is the owners responsibility to keep up to date with constantly changing regulations. I suppose the theory is, if you want to own or operate these potentially...

Coca Cola actually own a range of milk drinks here, but not marketed under the Coke name cold, flavoured milk drinks are very popular here, competing with the carbonated soft drinks

to keep up with current requirements, as the safe was in an uninhabited building, the firearms should also have had trigger locks, along with security cameras & a “back to base” security system. it is our responsibility to stay up to date with the latest regulations, no one tells us when they...

🤷‍♂️

Seems an odd time to raise these concerns & not really relevant to this thread ? have you been drinking ? or maybe forgotten your medication? anyway, I wish you all the best 👍

Lots of good security lighting & large, loud, aggressive dogs, are probably the best deterrents of the lot 👍

Err, this thread is about gun crime . . . not sure where I was having a go at either you or your country here, especially compared to all the UK posters complaining about the UK police & a high crime rate . . . 🤔 not sure I’ve done much more than point out how serious our authorities take...

exactly . . .

Port Arthur was 28 years ago now, more than a lifetime for some

I have been there, maybe 20 years after that event. The cafe site has been retained as a memorial to the people killed. Beautiful part of the world, but not a very nice place to be . . . 😞

obviously nothing is 100%, there would be a lot of stuff getting through, but our customs get most of it we do have a VERY large coastline, so a number of drugs come that way, in remote areas, although there have been some very big busts of drugs coming through ports in shipping containers etc...
