Thumbs up for this site! Am a workshop manager for 5 wine farms.

I have my own little place, 175acres thats totally of grit, 140km to the nearest town, not even cell ph reception! What a blessing. Was searching for bachhoe ideas when i came across TBN.

Have quite a few projects in progress, backhoe, fitting a dozer to my 1962 R6000 Landini, drilling rig, Petter generator, solar stuff, cnc router table for wind generator blades, rebuilding a 1983 2T Toyota Dyna truck, rebuilding a S3 Land Rover and other smaller things.

I try to do as much as possible with scrap and 2nd hand stuff, have a small machineshop at home. We are def not so lucky as the US guys where it concerns tooling and material as well as agricultural stuff, both in availability and price!

Been reading a lot on TBN, def the place for good advise and conversation!

Please excuse the grammer, eng is my 2nd language.

Greetings

Thanx guys. Will post pics over the weekend if weather permits. It started raining on tuesday, hopefully will clear-up, never rains for more than a few days at a time. Our annual rainfall is only 200-250mm!
