It’s not great but at least the mature love grass has the decency to stick to itself and the ground.

125mm of rain 10 days ago causing a few problems. Red steer being drafted in to help dry out paddocks for canola. Tracks and horsepower are a wonderful thing.

We moved our bags to a central area with good access this year after having trouble accessing bags in the paddock last year.Slower and more labour to fill from a truck.About 8t per truck/auger move. Neighbour suggested 10ft pvc off auger to get more t per move. Any other ideas?

Well done Bill,Mogong RFS captain, for organising some helpers for Matt who farms on the Mandagery Ck above Eugowra. Water went through 1.5m higher than previously recorded. Still a lot to do outside the devastated towns.

Fuel tank location was not the issue and the little clear in line filter running nearly empty was a distraction. All electrical this time.

Anyone having /had issues with these engines starving of fuel? Runs under load perfectly for 10-15minutes then coughs and splutters. Clean fuel, tank filter ,carby (attempted) new spark plugs. Have heard raising fuel tank may be a solution but how high? Thanks
