    The tourism industry should be paying channels like yours! Since I've been watching your channel, I have this desire to come and see NZ and that never happened before. And Ardern quitting also makes NZ more desirable! lol

    Been a great start to summer, im doing a few perky contracting jobs for neighbours and we are cutting in the morning and baling in the arvo on the hot days, best sugar content is around 9-10am. Cool to see the old TM I wonder who will be doing new hollands now Norwoods have lost the contract for new holland

    This summer will be talked about for years to come

    January 2016 the last really good rain, greens grass, didn't stop raining, unfortunately it turned into the wettest winter almost ever

  • @kellymcdermott2546
    @kellymcdermott2546 Рік тому +1

    This year is weird. The spring rain never stopped, so summer dry has not started yet.
    Due to the wet paddocks there are a lot of balers getting stuck where they have never been stuck before.
    Maize was still being planted right up to christmas as the earlier plantings on the flats have been drowned, some places twice drowned. Late november is usually end of maize planting season.
    Summer earthworks season usually starts around october and runs until may. This year the earthworks will be just starting in January!!!

      Even more rain coming by the looks of it so might have to start in February

    I really enjoyed your Video Andrew your lucky that you had really good Weather to bale in . Best tractors are Fendt or any of these brands Kubota or Valtra or Massey Ferguson or New Holland or Case or Deutz. But they have to be fuel efficient and Servicing cost are low along with low parts cost too . I am Sure how much a New tractor costs in New Zealand with the brands l mentioned Andrew really
