Hi, looking for advice regarding purchase of zero turn mowers to cover paddocks that are a bit uneven on a property approx 50 acres in total.  Ease of operation  and reliability are most important.  HAve a small cox ride on which i really like.  Probably mid range with a decent cut width, any advice from personal experience appreciated

Thanks

Hello Farmers, I have access to 160 acre block in South West Queensland . It comes with a town powered bore, small yards, 8mx4m shed, loading ramp ,troughs and buffell grass and possible 600mm rainfall per year.I'm wanting to use it to supplement our income not sure in what direction to go fat lambs or maybe goats as they need less attention and dollars to breed .I may need to pay a small lease or rent fee as I have a share in the land.I have liitle to start with and am keen to hear your ideas need to dummb it right back for me but.

Thanks

Does anyone know an ex hobby farmer that has a powerful 4wd ATV for sale. I have had one ofr 6 months and it is clapped out looking to buy one but brand new prices are huge.

Also I have tracked out one of my paddocks getting a ute bogged and Sy=teer tracking out. Is there anything I should do to ensure ground not full of holes when dries up?

Many thanks

Hello! I finally exchanged contracts on my slice of Australia and have been down there 4 times checking for good shed sites for sun paths etc, and to check fence lines. However yesterday I went down and got seriously bogged on the easement that runs into our property. The area had a few days of rain and half a foot of snow cover but one section was like sandy mush. We are now thinking do we get an earthmover in to compact the slight descent into the property with some drainage or did we just go on a really bad day? Should add the local river tripled its flow over 3 days!

Hi all we are new to the farming scene. We have 60 acres of that has been used in the past for cropping. Due to not having the machinery we let someone else crop it and he gives us some grain for our pigs. We are looking at doing the home kill with the pigs (free range) and breeding chooks for eggs to sell. We have read about the caravan chicken coops. Just wondering if at done has or is doing either of these and can give us some advice as to what we need to do to make it a reality. What rules regulations etc governing home based farming that we might not be aware of.
