Thinking just thinking about putting tracks on it and maybe in the future putting a removable fert spreader on the deck and maybe the sprayer too. Going to bring it somewhere this week to get a rough price on tracks. They have tracks on them in the U.S. and fert spreaders on them in nz so I can't see why the two can't go together.

Say my name wrote: » Yea but it is heavier than an atv or quad on the land hence the interest in the tracks. Plus where I bought it put bigger wheels on the back so I can't really use the 4wd and the low range is 4wd. That said it still was a lot cheaper than an atv with more comfort. It might end up like this this. The father never liked the quad and who doesn't like comfort.https://youtu.be/ViZA2-_AIpA

The rosters are not inviting, no bonus system for lots of hours worked, rarely see pay per hour, no perks like a house provided with the majority of jobs I've seen. No one seems to know the appropriate pay rates because there's no guidance. Also farm workers are seen as non skilled here, shur anyone can milk cows but you just have to keep an eye on them. I suspect a lot of the manager jobs are just a title to get people in while the owner actually manages the place. Any person worth their salt are leasing their own farm or farms as far as I can see. There are a few people who are good employers with a grasp of how to employ someone. Once you get a good reputation as an employer the good candidates come in.
