    A mate of mine has been taking advantage of this fact for years. If you want easy deer, hunt the DoC side of the bush edge. He will often head off to pick up an easy deer from a road end and be back...

    In dry weather they can be really nice. Once they have been rained on they become heavy and wet everything inside and out when you attempt to stow them back away in your wagon.

    Yip, thanks for all that. I'm going to go measure my gateways after some of the comments, as replacing 30 gateways 'cause I bought a digger that won't fit through would really rip my undies!

    That should be covered off in both the Landowner's and the contractors own SMP's. It still remains the duty of the landowner to communicate the risks (and control measures) associated with crossing...

    I know exactly where you are coming from, the accountant (my wife:D) and I have discussed this in detail for quite some time. But at a conservative charge out rate (90/hr) our $22K dozer plus 5K...

    Its all Central North island pumice and ash. Easy digging but is hard on the grousers of my dozer. Welding grouser bar on this winter is not a job I am looking forward to. Got a couple of 10 acre...

    Thanks guys for all the input. Sounds like the bigger ones will be the ones to look out for. We are not under much time pressure, sometime this FY will do. And I get the "what has it been used...

    Top speed for the dozer is 9.5kph. Gets from one end of the farm to the other a hell of a lot quicker than any tracked digger. It'll be worth bugger all now. 45 years old so will be hardly worth...
