It's all about that moment when metal that hasn't seen the light of day for generations frees itself from the soil and presents itself to me.

LOL have you EVER had the opportunity to look after sheep? You know that saying "the grass is greener on the other side" well I think that it was a sheep that said it MAN are they a pain in the butt no fence is too tough for them LOL they even go through an electric fence. Now just imagine having to look after them in that place I think that my guys will be there to look for me Club

LOL not that I could blame them

He he we placed a new energizer, it's good for 500 hectares and gives a discharge of 8000 volts so I'm testing it today and so far so good non have gotten out of the perimeter (hope it lasts)

The cutter that we have was designed to cut Teff or such grass and the area that would need clearing has a dense bush with lots of stone laying on the ground so if I were to use it for that I would damage the blades so the only way would be to go in with the disc to bring it down then let it dry and burn that would be the safe way) the other way is to wait for winter then burn but their is a small forest in the area so if the wind should shift while it's burning I'm is S**T. I have seen wind shifting just from the heat of the fire SCARY mate very scary. There is a third solution being to chop it down by hand, let it dry, this should only take three days then burn it while the rest is still green. I guess that this would be my best option, Come to thing of it I have a very powerful weed killer but that would not bring it down to the ground at least not in a short space of time. OK now for the TGSL I got all the components for it at the time that I got components for the first one but I just cant seem to find them Cry

so it looks like I'm going to have to get more (This gets to me) and I can't even do the mods to the first one cause the FET that I need is in the same bag of components. Drat I hate it when this happens

Mate if you saw how busy we are at the moment you would understand why the detector is not ready and why I'm not detecting. I just planted another 20 hectares OK that's not much land but when you have to rip it then hoe it and then plant and once that's done you still have to role it, it's the same as doing 80 hectares. (And it's a bloody bumpy ride) LOL
