The Greasers and the non-Greasers - I was talking to a Farmer the other day, and he said, "Bloody young bloke these days, they are reluctant to grease the Headers as much as I would like". 

I don't reckon it's only the young blokes. It's across the board and can happen within any age group. Some people aren't as meticulous as others when it comes to maintenance and looking after Machinery. You all know the ones, and you know the ones that are anal about it also.

It doesn't define you as a Farmer; there are plenty of good Farmers around that are a bit rough with Gear and some not-so-good Farmers around that have immaculate Gear.

The non-Graesers probably get found out a little when it comes time to sell the Machinery, similar to the non-Sheders. You get an immaculate bit of Gear, and you are going to get more as opposed to something that hasnt been looked after as well. Where do you rate yourself? Is your Gear immaculate, or could your maintenance be better? For the record, I would rate myself in the middle somewhere. Reply to dwaind@farmtender.com.au
