Sam monk is a cool dude,fair play to him that’s some rise in gear over short period of time,you can have all the money in the world but it takes a smart man to keep a business like that rockin and it’s a serious business, as he said hard work n good staff💪Ile be on next season to drive the chopper have the grease gun ready 🤠🇮🇪🇦🇺
The questions in the office were great man. That visa information is really handy for the young ladies and lads. Also important to stay out of trouble with that stuff so they don’t mess up their opportunities.👍

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?
The thing that struck me the most was the speed at which the equipment operates.......14-15mph......Things just whiz by!! I guess speed and productivity go hand-in-hand!
I would be very interesting to know what sams fuel usage is and yearly cost also are all the machines on hp, also has he had to put his rates up due to the rise in direct costs like fuel, plastic, labour.
hope you are running John Deere headers. nice 45 foot front. S series. must be green. when will you get into cotton sam ? if you want a cotton picker which are pretty rare operators hit me up. since i worked for you i done 7 years operating headers and cotton pickers up at cubbie station. sam was part of my journey.
Plenty of Aussies wanting this work, its not available to them, he only hires close friends and family, and he hires irish backpackers because he can circumvent australian working condition laws and pay conditions..
