wouldn't be surprised if it turns up in the wrong country lol

bet they didn't insure the gear either. classic kiwi optimism.

honestly who even watches ploughing comps? this is some niche stuff 😂

Jack Morrison2026-07-08T21:21:44.000Z

nah mate it's legit skill, you try doing it in a straight line with a 20 ton machine

Casey Adams2026-07-08T21:27:44.000Z

yeah and there'd be no food on your plate without farmers. show some respect.

always someone else's fault with freight these days. hope they get it sorted.

and they wonder why we can't have nice things. our logistics are a joke.

Jack Morrison2026-07-08T22:22:44.000Z

bloody hell lads, I feel for em - that gear is their livelihood. hope some other team can lend a hand.
