@lawbal44 @Jaco5959 It’s a fine line this year Lawrence. I think I prefer it to the island of rubbish on the wet soak and the extra headlands they create.

It’s not great but at least the mature love grass has the decency to stick to itself and the ground.

@lawbal44 Only one pile? The rest looks great. I much prefer that cover to our burnt paddocks with the storms about still.

Half arsed farmers moment for 2024 No 234. Distracted by tractor cab karaoke last night sowing lupins into wheat stubble. Didn’t notice a scraper had somehow bent & stopped the centre disc unit until the tractor began to labour… 🤦🏻‍♂️

125mm of rain 10 days ago causing a few problems. Red steer being drafted in to help dry out paddocks for canola. Tracks and horsepower are a wonderful thing.

No he’s not repairing a pipe. Big thanks to Ian Packer and Wooly for their insights on the wet areas of our paddocks. MLL looking at an area too wet to traffic in 23 grazed cover crop with roots to 80cm not drinking enough yet.

@Fox_Farming That is certainly a serious funnel Dan. Gives a bit of flex too no doubt. The longer swing aways look to give the bigger unloads per shift. Thanks

@stufarm This is what we have done in the past Stu, built a slinky funnel out of envirodrums and ratchet strap webbing. Get a full single semi unloaded per shift.

We moved our bags to a central area with good access this year after having trouble accessing bags in the paddock last year.Slower and more labour to fill from a truck.About 8t per truck/auger move. Neighbour suggested 10ft pvc off auger to get more t per move. Any other ideas?

@JarrodAmery Thanks Jared our auger is a little shorter than yours but the principle seems simple enough even if it had to be on the side a little. Thanks for sharing.

@stufarm The chains between truck and auger make it easier to keep it all connected when unloading 40t each trip with truck. There is better ideas than this Stuart but it is better than shifting the auger by hand every load.
