This one has a posted image. I really shouldn't be posting after a long day planting!

View from the rear. That's wheat in the background, should be ready in a couple of weeks. We have two plantings and two harvests every year over here for twice the farming fun.

What is on the front of tractor?

That's an air-seeder which holds 2.5 tonnes. We are banding phos and zinc fertilizer with the seed. Made by Simplicity, a local company.

Burnie, when did you start planting with a row planter. When we lived there till the mid 70's we planted with a regular combine [drill] with every other seed drop plugged. We lived near Oakey
