What did you do with your Grenadier today?

[Krabby]

It’s a schooner.

 

[nuclearmonkey]

No it's not. It's a sailboat.

 

[Krabby]

Somebody get that kid off the escalator!

 

[FlyersFan76]

No it's not. It's a sailboat.

A schooner IS a sailboat!

 

[ECrider]

when is a door not a door

 

[Paddy]

Somebody get that kid off the escalator!

Say... would you like a chocolate covered pretzel?

We are preparing for the field day with historic Howard tillage machines and have brought the first machines into the field. I grew up with Howard and knew the production. The best-known product is the Howard Rotavator. But there was also the seed drill (a combination of the Rotavator and a seed drill) and many other machines.
You Australians in particular should know Howard. After all, Arthur Clifford Howard was Australian. But you Brits will certainly be familiar with Howard too. He moved to Upminster, Essex.

The ripe old age of 101.

Although, I’d guess only about 2% of the population in Australia would have heard of Howard. Like most other places including the US, the rest of its people have likely never been anywhere near a farm sadly.

How'd ya come up with that figure?

 

[Clark Kent]

How'd ya come up with that figure?

Potentially a PIDOOMA:
Plucked It Directly Out Of My Arse/Ass

An oft-used term from my old Govt tendering days...

 

[ECrider]

How'd ya come up with that figure?

@DaveB told him it was 1.98584321 and he reckoned to round it up

 

[Tazzieman]

Don't tell me you lads missed my pun

 

[Clark Kent]

Don't tell me you lads missed my pun

Oh, wait... 'How'd ya'. Expand it ..
Way too early here

Clearly a man who knows me well.
If in doubt, make it up so it sounds about right.

Trying to work out the order of the procedure here

I would have thought differently. But of course, people who only consume agricultural products don't think about what equipment is used to produce them. I've been interested in this technology and its history since I was a child.

Thanks.

Second image looks a like the creek crossing into El Questro in The Kimberley, near the Homestead. Where were you?

Yep - still on the Gibb River Rd westbound -at Silent Grove near Bell Gorge today

I fitted (temporarily pending my sparky fitting this, a rear anderson plug, and my UHF next week) a Narva EX2 20” double lightbar.
Thought I’d share in case anyone was considering it and wondered if it fits.
I purchased bullbar mounting brackets to fix it to the bullbar top tube rather than the base.
I tell you what, it just fits, and the brackets are right on the edge of the tube before it bends down to where it joins to the bar upright. Certainly couldn’t fit anything wider and mount it to the top tube.
I picked Narva in the end for two reasons. Firstly they supposedly have a much wider close range spread (top priority for me) than stedi or lightforce without giving up too much distance (I don’t care what’s a kilometer down the road), and secondly I got them at a big discount to retail price via a friend. Laser at 3 times the price is overkill for my use.
It also has a 7 year no fault warranty if it breaks for any reason and you get a new one.
I’ll fit an amber cover for use in the sea mist of Fraser Island when I head up next weekend and let you know how they go.

What mounting brackets did you use? They look a bit like the brackets I saw at XHQ. Cameron and I used the STEDI Hex brackets,

So far AU owners have managed to fit a single 20 inch Lightforce Viper (me), a 20 inch double row 20 inch Viper (@CBN) and now the Narava EX2 double row 20 inch (you) - on the top Roo Bar hoop. All of them just fitted (bracket choice is critical).

My single row Viper provides so much light, the double even more light. It also provides a lot of light in close and out about 20-30 metres off the road.

We have choices and choices are good.

XHQ like Narva lightbars
