Very nice of you to include a fitness as part of the company health care program. Growing up we picked rocks walking the fields. After plowing we had to pick rocks the tractors could not drive over. Two or three of these would fill a 1yrd loader bucket.

We use grain bags in Australia. And yes you are right they are VERY noisy. But we have to use them because the trucks can't keep up.

I am glad that you use Ag-Pro tractors and combines they are very good company lot of people don't know them but they use their products like Fendt and Massey Ferguson and Challengers to name a few I'm glad to use them

[@andrewmckee8874]

All the temperature shifts, especially the very low ones are hard on electronics and sensors positioned outside the cab. Even a non heated shed would be a blessing as it would remove all the wind chill and blowing around of looms. Big shed with a heated workshop... There must be working efficiency gains in the winter with reduced breakdowns/damage that could offset the cost.. And a high tip bucket would keep you clear of those hoops.... Hope you had a great Christmas and a Happier new year!

Enclosed short term storage that is varmint proof is expensive. The old way was piles on the ground that were even easier for wildlife to access. Next option up is rings of plywood or sheet metal. Some park the equipment outside and fill the machine shed for a few months.

He was inside the cab and I was connecting the PTO shaft . He climbed out of the cab to connect the hydraulics and once done with that we were talking as he was lifting the sprayer from the mudguard remotes . The back window was open and we didn´t pay attention and this weird build Polish sprayer had it´s valve block so high up that is busted the back window . Brand new tractor remember ? As he was cursing about his own stupid mistake , a truck past by and a little rock shot from under the tyre and took out the front window as well . And yes , I am a big child because I was laughing so hard and this poor man was cursing and swearing but I just couldn´t stop .
