Maṇigrīva, our farm manager, is going to Ritchies Industrial Machinery auction today in Geelong. He and Doug Armistead, our neighbour and local mechanic, have done a lot of research on equipment suitable for our needs. They’ve contacted owners and researched remedial measures for issues in each of the items we might bid on. If we get a good break and price we could have a new (used) tractor by the end of today.
