Harvest Trucks

Harvest has nearly finished over here,so here are a few pictures new and old,first our Mack already clocked up 6000km,this harvest and still a few to go.

w to go. Now some newer gear,the lead trailer on this Quinn Transport road train is a belly dumper with a division in the middle electrically operated doors powered by battery and its own solar panel,I think they intend to use it seeding time for seed and super in the paddock for there own farming operation,much safer than tippers on soft ground.

This large family farming operation over here run these two Kenworths to cart there grain,

This nicely restored LTL lives not far from home delivering a load to a bunker at Tumby Bay

This louie pulled in behind me yesterday at Tumby.The owner had a big smile when I told him I wanted a photo to put up here.I think he said it was about 1978 and a 903 Cummins

Hey Ronnie, have you had your annual ski yet?

Hi Cam,Not yet.My daughter and family were hinting at taking the boat up to Barmera on Lake Bonney,which we did as a family for years.I would love to get back up there for a few days. What about you are you still doing your weekly run?

Hi Ron, been doing my best to go out at least once a week.
I've been going Friday arvo's with 2 mates that both compete, are older than me, and are GOOD, but we all have a great time, which is the point.
I'm 50 on new years day, and I'm about 5 years younger than one of them.
To compete they have to do 3 different things, so they do slalom, which they practice on Thursday arvo's down the coast, and when you see them in action, it is impressive, they practice trick on Friday's when I go (on a wakeboard), they do a fair bit of toe hold stuff, as in hanging on to the rope with a foot and jump about and whatnot which requires someone to "release" for them, which is a rope around the ski pole that you let go as soon as they fall otherwise they can do some serious ligament damage. And on Saturdays they go up the Sunshine Coast and practice jumping. On the odd occasion they practice cutting with the jump ski's on, behind my boat with a 383 Chev in it, when they start cutting, if you don't stick the boot in to the throttle, it'll pull about 5 km/h off the boat speed. Went out today with one of my old apprentices and her mate which was great. When she was working with us we used to go every week, but when she moved up north I've had to change my habits a bit. Looks good for going again in the morning too.
So in answer to your question, pretty much yes, I've been getting out at least once a week.
