I can't remember the number but the combine's an axial flow case, the lad I help over harvest has a bit of a case fixation  :)

Well having grown up in the country side, and working in the city...ive started applying for jobs to go and work in farming/amenity works....yea the money may be rubbish but if your lucky enough to get a job you love thats all that counts.

Got an interview in a week for a company in Hertfordshire

BTW we just had a Class 696 ATZ at work - on turf tyres - now thats a machine to get your head round!

Good luck with the interview Joe,as you say the pay is rubbish but I would'nt do anything else I love being out and about in the countryside all day.

Andy if I scratched that laning I'd be back to a horse and cart  :D

We traded a Maxxum 135 in for it. That was a good machine till I pulled the top link casing off the back ploughing last season  :oops:

We've always lived in a tied house as you say quite a perk we could never have afforded to live in some of the houses we've had. The only drawback of livestock farming is of course that no one has yet bred a pig who can look after itself  ;) so we end up working a lot of bank holidays and weekends, it's a way of life, not just a job, is'nt it ?

Oh yea but what a way of life....the job ive applied for is on arable farm but they've diversified into amenity/sports turf.

Case - nice machines - always been a John Deere man myself!

I'm the same, we have deeres on the farm I work on for the day job, I'm a pigman on a pig/arable farm.

The Case I drive for a friend in the village, we farm a 400 acre arable farm in the evenings and weekends. Does'nt leave much time for anything else in the summer  :P
