@burgess_ag They don't like turning when they are dry

New to me sprayer has these triplex bodies on it. Some are rather seized and wont rotate, any good Ag Twitter hacks here to free them up?

@mattrohde8 Sad but true

The best forecasting tool I’ve found, when the rainbow radars down, it’s going to rain.

@simon_finlayson @johngbennett It's amazing how quick it bounces out of the ground when the ground is still warm

@johngbennett Good job 👍 Check this out…we have life over this side of town

Form an orderly queue !

Looking for a farm machinery operator to join us at Kaniva. Mostly green, apart from the Agrifac and the Horsch! 'Join a growing business!' Pls share or pass on to anyone who might be interested!

@simon_finlayson @CFAChiefOfficer Would also be very handy on the Telopea Downs truck as well, given we have to let our tires down on close to 100% of our call outs.

@CFAChiefOfficer Hey Jason, Strike teams did a great job… just give the poor buggers some central tyre deflation before sending them out here on dead sand. Took years to get it on our trucks here. It’s a game changer for everyone’s safety.

At a time when there is talk around CFA’s reduced volunteer capacity, evidence our volunteers are able to step up and deliver a sustained and powerful group of resources. The following is from our District 18 (Mallee) strike teams. 📸 Captain Down Speed Fire Brigade

@dyerjonathan @CFA_Updates Change your settings, I've got admin on silent non emergency different to emergency

Going to miss an important fire call one day because I hear the SAS beep and assume it's yet another admin message. They should have different sounds! @CFA_Updates

@agrobaz We had an XRS radio in our car that always played up. Ended up changing it out for a less technical version and works perfectly.

Has anyone had issues with s780 headers causing uhf interference? 2 headers here, 1 does it. Replaced with new one. Same. Tried handheld and it’s the same, so got to be related to the header?

@karinstark79 Round here they are called a carnage of emu's

So wonderful to come across this flock of emus! They wandered up closer to my car when I stopped to watch them. Who knows the collective noun for a group of emus? #WildOz

@dyerjonathan @phil_honey Yep 🤦‍♂️

@phil_honey Amateuer effort here @russmerrett can still see the rear wheels above crop...

Wouldn’t be a true field day unless you see what’s happening in the area…. 🙈 #beachedasbru #aussieag #bogged

@cookthomasd @MerrettContract 😂 I'm with you Tom!

@MerrettContract Sometimes I struggle to get them to balance 2 high. I wouldn’t trust that 😂

Burning man #ibcchallenge I’m impressed!

@dyerjonathan @bigtimefarming I've clocked up a couple 😉 no idea how much in total it would have to be over 150k ha since I started I'd say

@bigtimefarming @russmerrett think you will be clubhouse leader here!

Show me those lifetime sprayer totals! 2012 4940 here. #johndeere #sprayer #application #cropprotection

@johngbennett I went to Melbourne on the weekend and couldn't quite believe just how cap the road was!

Local tyre business has fixed 5 tyres this week from one pot hole on the western highway at Kiata. This one’s a pirelli and has to come from Brisbane. The driver hired a car to get to Adelaide. Be interesting to calculate the impact on the environment let alone the inconvenience

Working on a farm that you love, but the boss insists you work with animals once a week or so? Don't put up with that! Have we got a job for you...... droverag.com.au/jobview/farm-h…

@RedDirt28 Un believable atmosphere at the game! The sort of game that you hope for from a GF!

That Super #Netball GF was absolutely amazing. Dare I say it but even if it wasn't raining in Leeds I still would have watched it rather than #ashes23. #THUvSWI

@johngbennett @AndrewY87296210 Yep still hang around, should be about time to start seeing them again

@AndrewY87296210 We had a little mob of them which we shared with @russmerrett when we owned a block at tolopea downs.

Well this is a first for us, only ever seen them in Queensland

@JA_Farming @BernieJ43233049 About 15ft around the island bt if you go up stream it drops to about 6ft in places

@BernieJ43233049 Doesn’t surprise me, you would be surprised how shallow the river is there in places even with Locks in place.

Taken at Moorook near Kingston on the Murray in South Australia in 1915 . You can see the waters finally starting to arrive down the river

@PSS_David Certainly is a great place to ski! I don't get there as much as I would like but it's always good when I do

Nice to be back on the water!

@pjmullan @VicRoads Gave me a good giggle when I drove down Nhill Yananc road the other day. Lots like this and worse!

Just talking to a bloke in our local town who is testing the @vicroads roads with ground penetrating radars. Checking how rough they are and the base it’s formed on. Having trouble with their equipment, because the roads are to rough! Never would have guessed
