G'day Rob!
I hope you enjoy your 6945 as much as we enjoy ours
Today I'll be doing snow work with ours - we've just had the first real snow of the winter.
Be careful of hobbies - about four years ago we thought "it might be nice to get a horse". Heh heh. Now we have a horse. And a pony. And we look after two horses belonging to other people. And we've rented 8 hectares of hay field, have two tractors, and have had to move to a proper farm in the country... so much for "it might be nice to get a horse"
Anyway, what kind of hobby farming are you going to do?
Regards

Hi JP and thanks for the warm welcome!
Im hopefully taking delivery this weekend and have lots of work for her to do already.
As for hobbie farming, nothing much happening there on that front at the moment, hovever my 5 acre property was an old potato farm so that may be a good place to start, once the all the overgroth is removed and ground harrowed.
I was at my grandparents in Austria once and shoveled bloody snow everyday for six weeks and that was just to get out of the house, i don't know how the Northerner's put up with it all the time? I guess your 6945 makes light work of it?
Speaking of horses,
I used to have horses on another property, neveragain though.....lol. Thoroughbreeds, damn expensive to maintain and always getting hurt.
Cheers Rob

It's not all the time.. only about 4 months
Yeah!
Yeah, my sister has some sort of thouroughbred. I rode it once. Once. Only once. Fortunately she lives about 3000 miles away so the question of whether or not I'm chicken hasn't arisen
Ours are Finn-horses - a kind of athletic species of carthorse. Pretty robust, not too fussy and most of them have their heads screwed on properly
All the best
J-P
P.S. there are some Finn horse pictures at
