At the Farm...The Machinery

<Zeke>

Sam, Jack and Tom can all drive most of the farm equipment.  They have been driving all the vehicles since they were 6 years old.  They can drive (not on the road) cars, the header, tractors, trucks, forklifts, motorbikes, quad bikes.

This is me in the forklift


This is a backhoe

Asha drove it.  I drove it too when we were doing harvesting.
 

they have big tyres


 
a truck for carrying grain

This is a tractor with a chaser bin used for collecting grain during harvesting


As well as lots of vehicles, they also have windmills to bring water out of the ground because there is no piped water like we have.







Lucky that Greenie knows lots about mechanical equipment because they have to be kept running to feed the cows.
