i wouldnt say i done a season but i did make maize silage in the states and it was priceless:D:D

you know the way in the uk and here we have 2 tractors and a trailer for this and a trailer for that, fuel bowser etc well the states is crazy, they have a truck for everthing idividually

a shop truck (tools)
a fuel truck
a seed truck

well the farmer/contractor i landed to had 3 red silage trucks ferrying the chopped maize back to the pit, they were gas trucks! we'd call them single axle straight trucks here i suppose, i never drove a truck before in my life yet alone on the other side of the road and on my first day this is what i was given, fast as she could go, foot abroad on the headlamp all day:D:D

Spent alot of time working in different countries from a young age,both in construction and farming.
Tell them you can do anything and have a go if they let you it's called having balls.
Driving a truck is the same as a car just a little bigger.

if you you want to drive tractors look at a hay operation. Driving balers or swathers

i spent 11 months in it , i came home for my 21st, i had a ball. yeah the truck and the speed the other 2 lads either side of me were going took some getting used to:D

he had a big caterpillar (cant remember the no.s but massive) and huge tanker at the slurry with injector system.. caterpillar was some unit to travel with weight on

the truck or pick up was easier i found when you pulled out of the field onto the road as steering wheel was on the left, you lined that up with the white line... the tractor is in centre and you'd often forget yourself at first:mad:

Just a few of the things i ended up doing.
Milking 180 cow in cheshire england we had 30 at home at the time.
Driving a 30 toone track machine at the olympic village in sydney, only ever drove the neighbours massey backhoe around the farm before that.
Would have being ran only for a sound paddy was a foreman, after a couple of days i new it all.
Driving a 600hp tractor ploughing in queenland,a massey 698 was the biggest up to that.

You now I was thinking that allright if you keeped the drivers side to the white line you couldn't go wrong . I worked in sydney aswell I have been driving diggers since I started working you would get sick of driving them . Did you ever drive an a40 volvo dump truck some rig to be driving .

Here caseman - who were you working for then? I was driving a machine on the tips at the village. handiest work ever get out of the cab to reverse in a truck every half hour and then level the load of stone. There were some serious chancers their during that time myself included, had only ever driven an oul 3c back home.
