They didn't show the rail handling/welding rig in front of it.

I did some design work for Kiwirail's current ballast cars. Not quite as sophisticate but good, fun, basic design work, if a little "agricultural".

Cue tv is getting axed and low gear is moving to sky. Never wanted to get sky, but guess I may have to now.

I forwarded this photo to a work mate the other day, wasn't until I found the above video that I actually realised what it was.

Having a wide variety of clients we get to see some interesting machinery; currently I've got a job on the go involving one of these beasties.
The Technical support controller based in ChCh sent these pics to me of part of fleet at work on the ice

The one I'm dealing with, a STX535 is possibly the one in the third pic pulling the train of fuel tanks, a interesting challenge as it's a matter dealing direct with CNH America as it was a special build with quite a few in-house factory mods.

Nah haven't been involved with a challenger, we had one at another branch for a while. I'm based at head office taking care of the techs in the workshop so don't get to poke around the other branches apart from parts supply etc and dealing with other businesses
That 1st pic is the heavy roller for the runway at McMurdo

I figured that from the pic name

STX450 & runway roller.

I guy here had the challenger for mulching gorse I think it was pretty fast but the Steering wheel on the tracker heavy crawler was just too funny (although useful I guess)
Pretty sure it was privately imported from England (likely by the brethos)
Nothing else much interesting over here other than a old V8 Massey pivot even all the Counties are gone now.

Mcmurdo had the nuclear power plant better send the giger counter as well.

Damn brethren have a choke hold on a fair percentage of the agricultural sector. Surprising how many cockies import their own equipment though, but when something goes bung they run into headaches especially when software is involved cheap vanishes real quick.

Have had a couple of customers bring retired machines back into their workforce recently...... 8910, 7730, & a 2370. There's V8 massey locally that gets run every now & then ....... angry old tank
We do all Dymac's fleet on the coast.

lol the radiation might have been what fried the control module on the STX

Funny small world, the Mrs is going there tomorrow to sort out the impegnantation of the girls
I bet they are up to the axels/armpits in Mud.(both the girls and the tractor)

I wonder if the brethos still remove the radios now god told them the cellphones are not connected directly to the devil after all.
Uncle had an imported Case it cost him a fortune for bugger all wrong with the tranny.
Other uncles only run Fiats and the Blue Fiats/Fords/Dutchies.

Dymac are a big operation, we deal direct with their parent company over here...one of the larger ag contractors.
The Mrs a LIC A.I tech ?
Bet it is boggy over the hill, better dry out for the next few days

Imported small frame Puma CVX by chance?
Ha FiatAgri own the whole lot in the grand scheme of things

She only a tech assist she can't keep past the idea of the entry requirements.
She used to moan about how I came home smelling of cow all the time, now I get my own back.

Re the Fiat that was my point in a roundabout way, I liked the old square orange un's metric before it was fashionable, Zetors excluded.

It actually ok at the moment considering ESP its El nino, It was wet early but pretty good since, but their particular farms are wet year round anyway.
We have had 2 dry springs/winters previously although this winter was wet-ish so it will happen.

I can't remember what the Case was other than it was about 120HP, it was years ago in Hari Hari on Onë Onë road, (Those local Maoris had a sense of humour with the place names.)
The Case put him off them for life.
