    So great to see so many young ones having a go here, old equipement sure, but getting experience in doing the repairs. As it is now all these young one are also making a community at the moment. Like I have said before, sad thing is , new gear is dearer, wider and quicker therefore something has to go , and we know who that is. I say keep the smaller gear and keep the people in the community.

    Unfortunately it is left to the locals to continue supporting their local community and the community is only going to continue to shrink , all thanks to the technology and size of machinery, think, in 10 years time there will be 80 to 100 ft header fronts and airseeders and 200 ft boomsprays, wont be many farmers left, so great work by the current Locals, stiff shit for the ones left in 20 years as there may be 6 of you left, conversations will be short, hey ?
