Back at it again… rewiring the truck after our resident electricians (aka rodents) have done their finest work 🐭⚡️

They’ve moved on from the header and clearly upgraded their taste…

About to try peppermint oil — apparently they hate it more than I hate fixing this.

Anyone found something that actually keeps these little apprentices out of truck/machine cabs?

Nothing stops work like a broken tilt ram lug in the paddock.

A quick weld-up on site and it’s back in action.

That’s the difference a fast repair can make when things break at the worst time.

Another job sorted.

Looking back now, this was honestly the funniest moment of the whole harvest.
Tongue pops off the hitch, cart nose-dives, grain everywhere… and I’m just standing there like I totally meant for it to happen.
Pretty safe to say I put a bit too much faith in a drawbar that didn’t deserve it — but hey, character building, right?

Welding? Easy. Maintenance? No dramas.
Baking? Yeah nah — this cake is a clear reminder to stay in my lane.

From worn to work-ready – new edge, fresh adapters and sharp teeth. Back in the dirt where it belongs!
