To clear my mind, instead of doing morning walks with the dog, I do evening walks around the village.

It's good business when I'm the only exclusive tractor spare part dealer within a 40km area. My shop is servicing the growing numbers of 4WD tractors, about 1'300 of them here divided by 15 villages.

This is the maize/sweet corn loading area next to my shophouse.

I've not been around too many farms lately! How about some hydroponic lettuce at the night market?

That design is very common in Thailand from what I have seen at least in the areas that I have Traveled in.

Pity the poor farm kids, schools out and they don't have a nice municipal pool with chlorine, and lifeguards and parents to monitor them. Tough way to grow up.

Tough life eh?

In Dublin in the sixties, I was watching some kids playing in the river Liffey. They were jumping off a 12 foot (4 mtr) quay into the greasy old river and would climb back up a ladder to repeat the process. One of the kids then ran to the edge of the quay, dropped his drawers, turned around and laid a turd down the 12 ft drop, promptly pulled up his knickers and jumped in after it. Oh to be a kid again....

Regards.

I have seen that design before too but usually they are not so ,shall i say, sculptural, Usually they are more basic. I sometimes get a whiff of status with water tank towers like that as well. .

How much would a tractor set a man back in Thailand at the moment?

Nothing huge just one for a bit of village use for the family.

Hi irlguy

Maybe you could ask in the main farming forum about tractor prices?

Also a little bit more info about what you are looking to buy e.g new/second hand,size,price limit....there are many variables.

Half of the Iron Buffaloes around my place recently are getting lazy. Here's another one,I've actually seen six of these units in a row playing follow the leader.

@shaggy. The colors in your photos are very vivid. If you don't mind giving up your secrets, how do you do that?

Yeah...like,thanks mate.Now everyone knows my secret !!!

@ riceyummm,if I get the settings right on my camera then photos taken on sunny days are as they come out of the camera (usually with a little cropping)

My camera wasn't too clever (or me) in overcast or dimly lite conditions and so I usually have a little fiddle about with an editing program.

@farmerjoe....how did the drilling go?

[shaggy1969]

Wheels and belts of the old rice machine in our town.

Amazing to think that all this is powered by one little motor.
