Today we get all the gear ready and start getting everything down to the paddock so that we can get a start on harvest. Whilst we were there we of course took the chance and did a sample to get us excited!!!!
Are you aware that there are local mobile "towers" available. The last one I installed on a small minesite. It was supposed to cover a radius of approxiametely a kilometre, but we found by installingthe antenna on the top of the pole above the yargi antenna which received the signal from the Telstra Tower some 42kms as the crow flys from the minesite. If you have a location sort of middle of the property, you can install the system in a box on the antenna pole. Ours was Powered by solar and had a 72 hour zero charge capability. Every thing can be pole mounted. A trick to keep the temperature down to safe limits besides ventilation was to build a false box of construction ply sealed and painted. The minesite was "abandoned" by the then owners, but I was informed by the new owners, that it was still running four years after we installed it. If i remember the cost without a pole fully installed was under $2000. No booster aerials or aerials were needed on equipment, and personal ere able to talk on the ground, not relying on an atenna some 6 metres up and having to be in a cab about 3metres off the ground. Also brilliant, because you can talk to support from the macine etc way out in the paddock.
Just for safety so that anyone who is close to or around the machine knows that it is starting and will most likely be moving. Once you close the door of the cab you can’t hear someone yelling at you
Might have to pull up on the fence line and have a cold one sometime 🍻 looks like ya going well we are 2 crops down 2 go about 400 ha of barley and 3000 ha of wheat 😂😂
The terminators collect everything off the sieves so all the chaff and weed seeds and then smash them up to dust. The straw and everything that comes off the rotor still goes out through the chopper like normal
Our moisture changes quite quick as we are close to the coast. So we have field bins so that we can put different moisture in them and that makes it easier to load trucks. Having a mother bin with high and low moisture doesn’t work for blending and being able to deliver it.
The lower we cut the better it is for the seeder to get through with out blocking, would be nice to cut a bit higher as there are rocks that we hit but not an option with the current seeder I have to cut high.
