nice vid mate….i wouldnt mind a lateral. Do you guys have a good bore allocation? And how are you guys going to feed water to it….we use center ditches.

Hi johndeere1993
Yer were really happy with the lateral, a lot more even watering and a hell of a lot easier than moving pipes.
Were on river water, so we’ve got 50% allocation and carryover this year.
To feed the lateral we have an under ground main line that runs up the center of the place and then the laterals hose drag, 200m of 5″ lay flat hose with 2 moves in the run.
Then at the end of the run it can pivot and walk down the other side of the place. I’ll post a video of it soon.

is that the flinders ranges in the background?

No sorry just a few thousand k’s away. This is north of Tamworth NSW

Cheers Mate

@kiwicowcocky and not been able to track the machine with his feet

why did you burn the base/roots of the tree? and use a ripper like that to loosen them up… risk having the tree fall on your equipment… are gum tree’s amazingly strong or something? I’ve always just dug out one side of the roots with the bucket to loosen it up then shove it over.

@darensmiles4 The burning around the bottom wasn’t for the roots just all the weeds and junk that had grown around the bottom of the tree. Usually gum tree roots are bl##dy strong, they are kind of grow like a big tap root, but the excavator driver was amazed how easy this one was to get out.

now why in the world didnt you just rent a D10 with a root rake and be done with it in seconds? you coulda had it delivered and had the truck driver wait till you was done so he could haul it back in the same day.

@cgspeeddemon1 Hi, a D10 would be the best way to knock the tree down but we had other work for the excavator to do while he was here and you would have a hard job finding a D10 with a root rake anywhere around here as clearing trees is banned in Australia, dam greenies, you can get permission but only if your willing to wait years for them to make up there minds about if your going to damage the environment, freehold country in Australia should be called greenie controlled country.

@ausfarmer89 dude that sucks……but now the excavator makes sense
