What’s thoughts on solid versus hollow crumble roller post ripping. Also if used after scarifier would it level a smooth finish

Very good. Patchy germination early as sown half wet half dry but plenty of plants now and about to take off. Thinking will be very interesting in a month or so

Anyone else see the metorite ( I assume) shoot across the sky last night then explode into 2 big orange fireballs just before got to horizon. Seemed very close @perthobs

Replying to @PerthObserver
@PerthObserver was that a meteor last night. Very bright white light falling from sky that exploded into 2 big orange fireballs just before got to horizon.

What is best way to fill in washouts in paddock. Ranging in size from boom spray bog marks to ones you can hide a 44 gallon drum in.

Full credit to dafwa staff. When they are on site it is all systems go. Hard working crew

Graveyard trial going in. Sandy duplex soil removed to 800mm in 4 profiles. Replaced in 100mm layers with ameliorates added and mixed. Fantastic initiative from dafwa and grdc. Looking forward to the results #soilconstraintswest @azam_gaus

Front tyre sums up the soil we are trying to reengineer. Beautiful sandy loam over dense hard orange clay. Tractor sitting on reasonably firm ground but water slow to infiltrate and roots struggle #soil constraints west # Gaus Azam

Never thought I would be using satellite imagery to work out where to reseed due to burst seed but very handy. Just needs to dry out enough to get on it now

Has anyone converted a hydraboom to 3 m axles. Big job? Rough cost?

Anyone got any good inventions for heating when camping where fires not allowed. Patio header needs an upgrade
