Looking for ideas - looking to refurb our BBQ trailer, who has seen a great design or must haves? As it is often used in the local community, needs to be easy to use. Single axle preferred. Photos appreciated.

@pallyboon Just did. Now it’s on fire.

@Collier_Samual Did you try turning it off and back on again? You’re welcome.

Autosteer won’t engage. No tcm corrections. Tcm won’t calibrate, Greenstar data bad, no corrections sfrtk. Now this black screen Only difference today was added a new implement, no rate controller. Atu on buggy. Any thoughts?

@fowles_james You have me confused, I was the one who got the workshop to do it and then complained about the price

@Collier_Samual Oh, upgraded from strip, twist, and tape then?

@fowles_james Scotch locks

@Collier_Samual Did you do the wiring?

Recommendations please. Looking for a paid guest speaker for #nextgen in #agriculture. Crowd will be 150+ it’s a celebratory event. Want attendees to leave inspired with enhanced leadership skills. Any ideas???

@matt_norrie Hey siri - find me the biggest snatch strap available

YR - When do you start picking? Me - Probably 2nd week April somewhere. YR - Cool. Relax heaps this weekend!

@dalgliesh_angus @AuNutrien Looking forward to seeing your work up there Angus!

2 months ago I packed up at Dalby and moved to Cloncurry in NW Qld. Between my own life and work it’s been a whirlwind but things are settling…I think. Not a crop I’m looking after but a grower who’s passionate and great to learn from.

Chasing information on those whose set up starlink on utes/trucks/farm equipment? How did you mount? Ruggedised? Photos? #asktwitter

@LachlanNass @MakitaTools Great advice. What do I do with all the other stuff?

@Collier_Samual @MakitaTools Disconnect battery, place in bin, buy Milwaukee 😎

Well, that’s the end of that chapter. @MakitaTools - I can see the settings, but how do I turn it off smoke machine mode?

@cretesiltloam @AndrewNixon22 Interesting thoughts. The 9120 was factory with a small tube and was seen as the ugly duck.

@AndrewNixon22 Put a small tube 40 element rotor in the 9250 with eight 10 degree bars up front, twelve 28 degree bars, then twenty 28 deg spiked bars in back. Walk past that X9 in the field and save your money.

Final results for wheat 9250 vs X9, 50t/hr avg vs 70t/hr avg yields equated to be the same. 40% more from the X9. If you went head to head in a paddock I think the X9 would be more again, we probably weren’t pushing it as hard as we should at the end, the ground speed was high.

Check out this guy! Wouter-Jan Van Dijk - Dutch guy from AUS, buys a secondhand bike, rides to start line, finishes Baja 1000! 70 hours on the bike 2nd hand l, bald tyres and no spares, will sell and head back home! youtu.be/GfOLu39-PP8

My 6 yo asked me to describe cars when I was a boy… I struggled, then I saw a landcruiser Ute. I replied “some were very similar to that one”, his response? “Ah, so you didn’t have gps”. I guess we were both correct.

@ben_young0 @farmagro1 What did you do to it? 10 services a year at $300 avg only equates to $30k that’s $408,000 worth of tyres, engines, diffs left To spare. That’s another 5 100 series gxls new…….

@farmagro1 We had a 100 series wagon tick over a million in 10 years at work. Nearly died when the cumulative maintenance was $438,000.

First the livestock market, now this? 2023 is a tough one! Even weatherbet wouldn’t have seen this coming

@MartinMurray_Ag @lotzhobbitfeet @Mark612173271 You can ground truth that by coming into field from different direction and seeing if track aligns

@Collier_Samual @lotzhobbitfeet @Mark612173271 I suspect it’s the Chinese “RTK”, it’s been a cluster

Well….

@lotzhobbitfeet @MartinMurray_Ag @Mark612173271 Rtk should be fixed. SF1 is not repeatable and will drift. It is only accurate to 30cm at time of use. This is the result of mismatched correction:

@MartinMurray_Ag @Mark612173271 It might be, but if your lines weren’t done on this first, there will be a shift. Happens here sometimes if you don’t turn off SBAS, we occasionally get a glimpse over the horizon and all your lines will shift….

@lance123wise @cosfarming Engage diff lock and keep using it. If it’s shot, it’s only going to get worse. You may be surprised how long it runs. Have a recip saw and grinder ready when it does really fail though

@cosfarming Yeah we’ll use it as little as possible after we get new track till we’re in a position to change it to something better.

Planting with the RX has come to an end.

#asktwitter - I don’t love AirPods - best Bluetooth earphones or headset (stick mic preferred) - have had honeywell in the past. Great but heavy. Thanks
