OK will do, so it will be ok to borrow it this time next year then...
BTW, how fast does it go and how big is the fuel tank, is there much space in the cab (incase I need a little rest/doze) and is there any spare room for a GPS incase I get lost going to the "Beach"...

@ Ally
It's not the GPS everyone know's is as which is road's like getting from A-B.
Your hubby there would be right in a sense for driving in a straight line.
Every GPS system we have in a tractor is linked up too every field we own or rent etc.
When ya go in2 a field you input either the field name or number,then it will display it on your monitor in the tractor cab.
For example if spreader fertilizer it will show you via satelite which part of the field need's more than say another part.
The GPS is linked too the fertilizer spreader telling it too put more on the part that need's more and less for a good part of a field and vice versa.
The machine would of been calibrated before hand so everything is done spot on. |

Grief, that's pretty amazing! I never realised it had got so clever. Gone are the days when I used to ride slingshot alongside the combine harvester driver, and jump in the grain trailer and try to get covered up to my waist and still get out.. lol.... (Health and safety warning!!!) |
