It's technically a Noble blade

The box drill and a blade cultivator came from Noble manufacturing from Alberta Canada that Versatile bought

Yup, Simmentals, Fleckvieh, Jersey/Fleckvieh cross, Brown Swiss, and Evolene wich is a endangered Swiss breed from the Valais region.

80 cows to milk, we are three that are milking, I very very rarely milked at home so I did struggle maybe still do.

True but haven't got a contract yet, the feller that picked me up at the trainstation will be comin this week and chat about it also about the wage.

A few pics I took from the past 20 days were I am working in Switzerland, in the Bernese Oberland ... more to come

Happy B day

In the last week or so I tried to get work in a Alpine operation but that meant to nothing partly I'm to blame cause i rarely phone people. One guy was easy to talk to and if were a day earlier he would of given me a chance and the feller I called yesterday, first he wasn't around and called back, but it was harder to talk to that guy, he did say he will phone back that evening but never did. So wasted that evening waiting! One fb friend that farms in northwestern Switzerland and has horses, beef and goats and crops to told me to stay a week or two longer and try and try again, however tat would of worked fine if I had a place to stay, cause can't stay at the aunts place longer as I already had ... and I do not want to be a freeloader either for any one. Other than tat the trip went well and was interesting with mostly ups and one major low.

The old farm, the barn attached to the house is no longer the one i knew when I was a kid. The farm is a mess today, when my parents were renters there it had to be very clean.

Holder is still around but the no longer make tractors. I think it would do fine in the forest as far as I can remember they made the for that too

I think can be a problem too, like common wild oats but black oats maybe too,

Was in Northwest Switzerland the day before yesterday and yesterday too, and took a Pic or a few of a nice Spelt (once called Korn cause it was once the most important cereal for breadmaking in Switzerland and in other parts as well) it was something between 4 and 5 feet tall give and take a few inches

Couldn't help myself again taking a pic of a field 😉 of a oat field of a organic farmer for milling

I know I posted the Alpine Oekonom (economy) tractor before but for got to add a short history of em! That brand was manufactured by Hoegger & Cie. in Gossau Switzerland from the early 50s to 1963 1250 were made in total. Only air cooled engines were used: Wisconsin 2 and 4 cylinders for Diesel first Hatz than MWM, Hatz only the 2 Cylinder, and for MWM 1, 3, and 4. And front axle suspension, hydraulic brakes were standard. Hoegger bought the rights of the Oekonom tractor after a different company stopped making them after selling 17013hp Wisonsin 2 cylinder

Cool It's a front steering
