Well from what i have been told by our fuel suppler is that for him to get us 93 it has to be laced with Al ki hol as the best coming in the pipe line is 90 and so what evaporates faster gas or AL KI HOl . So what are you left with ?? Also he told me that this gas only has a shelf life of around 90 to 100 days . No Av gas has a year but you won't like the price and it is a little over the top for what we need . as we don't need 100LL . So what we do need is to get rid of the gassers and go with diesels . Need to move the diesels that we do have now back to chore tractors and get much larger tillage tractors and bigger tillage equipment . Our old stuff is getting plum wore out and needing major rebuild and to find better in the size we can handle with the power we have no the cost is twice what stuff in the 21-24 foot range is . and i feel that if we went BIGGER size wise we would be saving time and money . We have maxed out our horse curve and we are NOT able to get what we have to the ground with out a lot of wheel slippage even with direct axle mount duals and weight , we do NOT have the table top FLAT fields and the 1066 with loaded tires and 18.4x38 radial duels will paw on the hills . We went from 16 foot silage wagons to 18 footer and let me tell ya ya don't want to fill them to the roof and except a 706 or 806 to bring them in out of the field in some of the fields as you will make it to the end of the field going west but ya ain't coming back to the east with a full load it just ain't going to happen . The 806 weights in at over 13500 and a full wagon will let you get almost to the top when you spin out and guess what you are NOT going to hold it and wait for someone to come and throw a chain on you and help you get over the top as you will set there for oh maybe two seconds and down the hill backwards ya go . so you get the bright idea that oh i will just go out the back road as it is almost flat and go down to the side road and down it to the state highway and UP the farm lane on gravel , ah yea wright half way up the drive and you will spin out and back down ya go and you will not get her stopped till you setting across the main road . Almost a major crash with a empty lowboy and the marks of locked up tires are still there . The 1066 has enough trouble and it weighs in at over 18500 with out the duals . We use to chop with a two row and smaller wagons , now we are running and old junk 5400 deere with four row and 18 foot rear unload wagons that can weigh in at over thirty grand . The old case of the tail wagging the dog.

Today's Featured Article - A Brief History of Tractors in Australia - by Bob Kavanagh. After Captain Cook's exploration of the east coast in 1770 the British Government decided to establish a penal colony in Australia. The first fleet arrived in 1788 and consisted mainly of convicts who were poorly equipped and new little of farming techniques. The colony remained far from self-supporting and it was not until the early 1800's that things started to improve. Free settlers started to arrive, they followed the explorers across the mountains and where land was suitable set up farms. T
