Here in the US, choppers alone would be about $10 million. And then there's the rest of the fleet. Kudos to the man!

CIAN your the main man in GRASSMEN 👍

[@jamieshields9521]

Very interesting operation, I was surprised with pivots been built as around that area n north east Victoria there’s plenty of flood irrigation. Q. How do they go with logistics like parts as there not a lot Claas n Fendt dealerships to compare JD n CNH?

[@Grassmen]

This is South East Victoria so no flood irrigation here, most parts are available in Melbourne which is only 2 hours away

[@hughbrumby7178]

Theres a claas dealer in colac, which isnt too far from cobrico
