Off road four wheel drive and recovery
Where can you take a 4WD? OK. Better question: where can you take a 4WD and then bring it back again? What trouble can you get into, and how do you get out of it? How do you prevent yourself getting into trouble? These questions and many more are covered in Tocal’s two-day 4x4 training course.
Chainsaw – Fell trees manually (intermediate)
You’ve been using a chainsaw for years, but you’ve got a couple of big, old trees on your property that you reckon are a bit above your skill level. Tocal can fix that in two days with this intermediate-level course.
Quad bike operations
Quad bikes: convenient, useful and one of the greatest causes of harm on farm. Tocal's one day course will teach even the most experienced rider how to operate them safely.
Tractors with attachments and front end loader operations
Learn how to prepare for, operate and maintain tractor operations with attached equipment and to prepare for, carry out and shut down front-end loader operations in an agricultural environment.
Side by side operations
Safer than a quad bike, but still carrying its own risks, the side by side is becoming the “go to” vehicle for many jobs on the farm. This one-day course at Tocal will help you get the most from your side by side.
