How do you stop wallabies?

Hello,

I have recently planted a small grove of hazelnut trees. They are doing their best to grow but so far none of them have any leaves because wallabies strip them naked as soon as a bud appears. I suspect that if they don't succeed in growing some leaves pretty soon, it will be all over.

Size of tractor and attachments

Hi, I have a 100 acre farm in Mansfield , Victoria which we manage on a part time basis. We have 24 Black Angus steers and 4 Angus cows. Other than than the boundary fence the property has no internal fences, nor does it have a dwelling. Over time we intend to establish seperate paddocks, build another dam, a driveway and eventually a small house. I am toying with the idea of purchasing a tractor, however I'm not sure what size would be suitable and what attachments I would need.

Attaching a bucket/loader to my Kubota tractor

I am trying to find out what the easiest and best way is to attach and detach a bucket to my Kubota tractor.
The thing is so heavy, and there must be a way to just detach it in such a way, you actually do not have to lift it off, and when you want it back on, you should be able to drive up to it and just connect it.
I had so much trouble getting it off the first time ... :)
