Mechanic and farm operator looking for work
Hi there,
My name is Okko. I am 18 years old, a mechanic and farm operator from Germany.
I'm searching for an operational farming job in Australia. I want to start at the beginning of July 2024 and am happy to work until the end of November 2024.
My family owns and operates a farm (dairy and pasture-cropping) in northern Germany, bordering the Netherlands.
I have been passionate about farming, technology and engineering all my life. Since childhood, my uncle's farm has been my "go-to place" after school and on holidays to drive and work around tractors and other gear.
Implements that I am proficient with are air seeder, fert-spreader, effluent-spreader, mowing, tedding, raking, baling, numerous transport gear (loading wagon, low loader, truck trailer on dolly), etc.
Machinery that I am experienced with include tractors (up to 400 hp), teli-handlers, pay-loaders etc.
I'm currently pursuing my education as an agricultural mechanic. My apprenticeship started in August 2021 and will end in June 2024.
I learned how to repair tractors and other agricultural machinery and gear, maintain and repair different kinds of equipment used in the industries and provide necessary service.
The company I work for is called "Agrartechnik
Erwin Harms gmbH" - (https://harms-agrartechnik.de), an AGCO/ Krone/ Dewulf Dealership and licensed Workshop. We are responsible for repairs and maintenance in both the workshop and the field.
Primarily, we repair tractors and gear from Fendt and Massey Ferguson, but we also repair machinery from many other companies, such,
Krone, Dewulf, Valtra or Lemken.
My last repair was on a Fendt Farmer 309 LSA. I dismantled the front axle to store and seal it again. A few months ago, I installed a new Engine on a Fendt Favorit 515 C, while another time, I replaced the drive unit on a Fendt Vario 916 COM 3.
Attached are photos of my mechanical work and the last Fendt Farmer 309 LSA repair.
My English skills are basic, though my grades were good, and I look forward to testing them in practice. Furthermore, I possess an international car and a tractor driver licence.
For more Information, don't hesitate to contact me. I look forward to your response.
Cheers,
Okko B.
