O. T. _ Don't think they'll be working that corner of the field for a while?

Hi, Folks.
Some videos that seem to indicate that they won't be working that corner of the field for a while.







Just my 0.02.

Hi Deas,
When i was in Thailand last month you seen that all the time tractors bogged trying to dig up the rice paddy's

They need bigger swamp tracks, but then the paddy's are o ly very small before they come to a check bank.

But its good fun to watch then get them out after 3 tractors are bogged

Regards

Daryl

Hi, rax200.
I sorta 'figgered' it had to be either Thailind or the Phillipines 'coz for the way some of their equipment is all titivated and tarted up.

They seem to travel atta fair clip which would give them a better chance of getting through a soft spot but would also make it harder to stop and back out if whichever end was foremost to the travel direction did start to go down.

There are some videos on You Tube too of their harvesters going 'submarine' on them - time for sensible people to grab a beer and some popcorn.

OSHA and workplace health and safety don't seem to be very 'Johnny-on-the-spot' over there either - didn't see any safety officers making like demented windmills.

Just my 0.02.

You have a wonderful day. Best wishes. Deas Plant.

Might get more done if he could find his water buffalo.

Hi, Ray54.
I have watched a few videos of those jiggers working and they do get across a LOTTTT of ground with seemingly few problems. But, like most machines, they still have limitations.

Just my 0.02.

You have a wonderful day. Best wishes. Deas Plant.
