about 30 mins to top the calf milk powerder machines up in the morning an again at night

How are you getting on with the automatic calf feeders? Do you know how high the mortality rate is in your calfs? I assume you are rearing them for beef?

Does farmville count in this thread? ;D

Lol I live on a Cattle Farm..... Thing is, dad ran himself over with the tractor 18months ago so destroyed both feet, his legs and stuff, so we had to get rid of the livestock. Lucky it was only "the old dog" - International B414. Still did a good job at destroying himself though :-

we used to have an FW30, had ours on duels though, the air intake got screwed on it and we had to have a part imported from america for it, so was out of actions for weeks, local dealers gave us an FW30 on super singles like yours to use while we waited, the thing was so old and nakerd that a TW25 could out pull it! moved onto a 946 versatile after that!
