Review the review An effective ban on Paraquat will lead to more ploughing, destroying soil structure and increasing erosion. It’ll reduce yields on farm and increase costs at the supermarket #ReviewTheReview

@paradooprime Gday Tim we’ve got mobs of 20-50 grazing our crops at wickliffe/lake bolac area. There breeding up in the treed areas that we planted to stop salinity erosion ect. But all we’re doing is breeding kangaroos. That wreck the fences eat the crops 🤷‍♂️

So is anyone out there feeling the pain from plague proportions of kangaroos invading our farms , mostly from Blue Gum plantation havens. Shutting up paddocks of valuable pasture seems a fruitless exercise. Weren’t these trees meant save the planet. Bloody enviro&$$ disaster

@Voz_Dennis Gday Dennis. Yes please. I’m lake bolac Vic Very dry here. Cheers from bill

Hi all, I do a short weekly update email on Australian and global grain markets, anyone interested? (free).

@Nick67126028 Looking good Nick glad she’s going well. Can you send me a pic of the joystick control. I think that’s a fantastic idea. Cheers 👍

What an absolute weapon!

@TheLastField We’ve got 2 x9 1000 Pritty happy with them. Getting 30t hour in canola 70t in wheat. The old s780 was only 10t hour in canola and 40t in wheat

Deere salesman seen my earlier post about upgrading to new Lexion’s. Told him I’m not interested in S780s and the only way to get us back to green would be through some X9s What’s everyone’s experience so far with them? Here they’ve been terribly unreliable, 3 bad motors locally

@WestfallCharlie Gday Charlie what brand are your tracks

@Billwal09406387 We have tracks for ours. Work great

Macdon owners Has anyone damaged there wheel motors from putting duels on we’ve got m155 with 10stud wheels and m1170 with same Got duels on both and there getting a workout to say the least. Any advice appreciated cheers

@DrGonzo11812170 Yes so true Dr We’ve got 35ft xl fronts

@Billwal09406387 If you can stomach a slightly smaller header you can shed some front end weight. I know it's a tuff sell when you've got a hungry combine but sometimes bigger isn't always better.

@LMcLachlan60 Tracks would be great but carnt get any

@Billwal09406387 What about a set of tracks ?

@MattWatt96 Thanks Matt it’s hard work hey

@Billwal09406387 Know a contractor that comes through CWNSW that won’t put them on again. Had them on in 2016 I think and said he couldn’t charge enough now for the pain he went through knockin them around. Shortage of parts also meant it wasn’t worth it this year he said

@trevjp85 Hmmm bit wet Trev 80mm at wicky so far

Wild weather at Willaura. Only started yesterday at 3pm. Forecast is for another 20-40 today.

@OrrockFarm Gday Todd iv got 20odd spare tynes and few heads. Cheers

Time to try something different. Not allowed any more internet purchases. But now looking if any one has any leads on flip wings and tynes for a Morris C2 laying around to make a bit wider. Thanks if anyone has any leads.

@Kotyjo What about in canola. Iv been told x9 only 30% beter than s780

So I'm hearing that if you add Madd concave to your X9 it's so far ahead of the completion it's not even funny in big wheat crops. Interesting times for 2023.

@oster_huey @JonoRobinson1 Iv got the serial numbers and shipping dates for the 2 macdons they arrive late November we start harvesting wheat mid December. But yes I’m abit concerned they won’t turn up

@Billwal09406387 @JonoRobinson1 Are you confident the macdons will arrive in time?

Our 1st x9 has turned up. Little bit exciting to finally see it. Just needs the PD an duels fitted and delivering to the farm 👍

@NigelPerrigo Just went the cheaper option with duels we’ve got some hills so like the duels for stability

@Billwal09406387 Why duals and not tracked

@JonoRobinson1 The pickup fronts have turned up but the 50ft macdons are 2 months away

@Billwal09406387 Has the front turned up too?

@Kotyjo Ordered 2 with pickup fronts but gone 50ft macdons they are still 2 months away

@Billwal09406387 how many you order we’re still waiting for 3

Always a relief to see canola up and going in western Vic
