Hokitika ,West Coast

Summary

I grew up on a dairy farm in Hokitika, which is a town on the west coast of the South Island in New Zealand, and later moved onto our family dry stock farm, as my parents still run the dairy farm along with our family farm. I grew up driving tractors and always had a passion for agricultural machinery. I am experienced with all of my parents' machinery, which includes Valtra tractors, double Claas mowers, Heva speed disks, Sam and Amazons fert spreaders, tip trailers, etc. Seasoned ag contractor with extensive experience in operating a wide range of agricultural machinery, including Fendt, John Deere, and Valtra tractors, demonstrates attention to detail and a commitment to maintaining clean and efficient machinery. Known for excellent teamwork.
