It's really good to see the compulsory straw hat with hole on top. Every true Australian living the outdoors life has one. My dad sports a very proud one. Just as Iconic to all Aussies as the slouch hat and the Akubra.😁

G'day Rod, glad to see your doing your old mate Toyota up, sorry you can't find a new toy, now with the lockdown over and OZ opening up is trips with 24/7 on the cards for next year, good recovery of that big tractor, when l was on the farm l put my Dad tractor in the Dam slashing, only thing l was on the dam wall and it was 30ft deep, it's still there, and the old man still pissed, cheers Rob, keep making them l keep watching, LOL to all their, cheers Neil 🤠.

G'day Big Farmer Rob, You gave me major nastalgia of living in the country seeing you getting you're tractor bogged in the dam. I really miss living in a rural environment moving back to the city has had its advantages but honestly I would do anything to live in the peace and serenity of a farm again. Even snakes don't bother me honestly living in a block of flats with riff raff is a nightmare and now I am thinking how I can live in a semi rural to rural area but still have a close connection to where my friends are here. Thanks for another great video..... And personally keep making all the videos you make as you do them I really enjoy them all Cheers mate stay well and be safe

Love that Rocket is rebuilding the old girl, did the same with my 78 and yeah they are stupid expensive. Getting one of those new ones is clearly about who you blow in Toyota, whoever that guy is that got two of them must have very good connections and very deep pockets to drop 200k on two of them and another 80k on auto conversions, and that's just the starting point.

Glad you didn't crush his camera :D Great work on the 70th Anniversary units, the console matches nicely. I can't believe one person managed to get two of them, they must have some serious connections. I reckon you need to get a turbo on your hoist, that slow thing must cause a huge backlog of vehicles waiting to get lifted and back down again.
