Lightening Online

I didn’t get around to posting during seeding this year about my tractor driving.

Life kinda got insanely busy!

Which means, I haven’t shown you our new tractor:

New to us anyway!

We bought it from Farmboy’s father who has semi-retired this year.

Now, tractors don’t come in a range of colours like cars do.

If you buy a John Deere, you get green.

If you buy a Case, you get red (our old tractor was a Case - I do like RED.  If I can’t have pink that is).

Other brands have other colours like blue and yellow.

Once upon a time, a family tended to buy all 1 brand.

These days, it’s more common (and more common sense) to buy the best deal or the features you require, rather than sticking with the one company.

This tractor is taking some getting used to when it comes to driving in a straight line.

The nose is a different shape to the Case.

Less square.

Which I find confusing.

Farmboy uses the wheel as his guide.

I use the nose.

So it’s been tricky.

But this tractor does have a second seat in the cab

Which is a bonus when I have one of the kids with me!

And this tractor suits our needs better.

I guess I’ll get used to it.

Or let Farmboy install Auto-Steer so it doesn’t matter.

Either way, seeding is over for another year (providing the mice don’t eat it all - the seed that is!)
