Farming Experience

I have practical farming experience from my family farm in Denmark where I operated modern machinery and assisted with seasonal field work. My main experience is operating New Holland T7 series tractors doing cultivation, seeding and general field preparation. I am comfortable working long hours during busy seasons and working independently in the field.

I also have a trade background as a qualified boilermaker/welder, which gives me strong mechanical skills. I regularly helped with machinery maintenance, servicing and small repairs on farm equipment. I am confident troubleshooting mechanical issues and keeping machinery running during busy periods.

I am reliable, hardworking and quick to learn new equipment. Currently based in Perth on a Working Holiday Visa and available to travel for seasonal work. I believe my combination of tractor operating experience and mechanical background makes me a valuable worker during seeding and harvest.
