That is water-pipe tubing. I forgot I left the tubing to the chook shed on the surface instead of burying it and when I went to mow the eastern 2 acres, that ended up wrapped around the bearing in my mulcher and took me ages to remove :S

My mower/mulcher is a lil Yanmar 3 cyl diesel 4wd tractor and I'd be lost without it.

Probably because the other cars have a roof :woohoo: :woohoo:
Don't mined the lizards but like I've said before that spider is mental !!
So you have two acres in the east what about the rest of the compass reading how long does it take to mow?? I think that little Yanmar is the look Gus is trying to achieve with his new jimny build :evil: :whistle:

LMAO at Gus modding his Jimny to look like the Yanmar. Those lil Jap Tractors are the bees knees and I have taken it out into the Big Desert, which is only 10 mins by Jimny South of me.

Roof? Aha, here I was closing the doors and leaving the roof open. :woohoo:

The block is only 3.66 acres so it doesn't take that long to mow. But, the block is surrounded by 96 acres of Bush Reserve and I mow a good-sized firebreak into it and the road reserve out the front as we are now in our Fire Season.

We are expecting things to get quite bad this year, because of the unusual rains and the breaking of a drought this year. Grass-fires are a worry but the Mallee Scrub is the biggest danger as it is full of Eucalyptus, which is like Kerosene in flammability. I have a diesel fire-fighting pump (In really hot weather, petrol pumps are unreliable due to volatility) and tank and bore water all set up. We had 8 days over 40° last January so keeping possible fuel sources down and mulched is absolutely vital. Tall grass and the fire runs so fast, maybe 60-100 kph but mulched grass it more or less smoulders instead.

This is a Mallee scrub fire and I live in the middle of the Mallee, on the Mallee Highway...
