@jonamoen Haha, well don't blame you for not caring about autosteer. I like it for planting and spraying, let's you focus more on what you're doing. For tillage it works good but most of the time we're using our Versatile which doesn't have it. After an entire day chisel plowing one field with that, you learn to appreciate autosteer. Always have to remember to pay attention though with it, first year of doing it I wasn't and drove right into and out of a huge washout. Not my proudest moment.

@AC710N87 I believe GPS and autosteer is great for the bigger implements, but no need for it when you have such small machines like us. I'm sure it would be great for spreading fertilizer but it seems a bit much to buy a GPS that you use maybe 30 hours a year or something.

@AC710N87 Well, I had to do something while waiting (I guess you can call me a workaholic), and I had cleaned the whole sheepstall, so it was down to either reading a book or knitting. I'm not sure I like autosteer, I like to do things myself - and we don't have these precise jobs like you guys have. We have around 70 hectars of grass and green fodder (rape seed and raigrass for grazing).

@AC710N87 Yeah, we used an old, rotting rope that had been lying on the back of the tractor for a couple of years. I guess the reason it broke was because I drove the tractor way to fast. :P

Again, the livestock episodes were the most interesting. Loved the cow following her calf in the pick-up! Did he get her calf back, at the farm?

@balmesh

Yeah, she had him for a couple of days.

@jonamoen Haha, I thought it was a chain my bad. Happens to the best of us. Not sure if it was on this video or Part 1 but I love the knitting/crocheting in the tractor. You'd have a hell of a good time with autosteer. Pretty sure you could get a whole sweater done or more per field. At least it's a better use of time than just listening to music like me lol. How much land do you work?

[AC710N87]

You know its always nice to see someone else pulling an old tractor with a chain and having it break, at least I'm not the only one haha. Pretty good video, its always interesting to see how its done in other places besides here. Can't say much on all the livestock parts though, we had sheep at one time but thats about it. Hopefully your spring's going a little better than our's so far.
