Tractor implements... Advice please.

Hi all,

I have 15 acres of flat land in the Latrobe Valley. When we purchased the farm we got a 25hp Kubota (2201) 4wd tractor, a single tine ripper and a slasher.

The block had been let go by the previous owners and the owners before that and we've replaced a fair bit of the fencing. Now we're at the point where we need to start working the soil, improving it and sowing pasture crops.

Agistment... How?

Hi there - A couple of months ago I purchased a beautiful home and pool on farm land (89 acres) at Mosquito Hill on South Australia's Fleurrieu Peninsular. I have been looking at buying a fam for some time and decided to go ahead when I found this beautiful spot. I am currently working mining FIFO to Indonesia and intend to continue for another 3-4 years. On returning to Australia, I will then look at being very involved in the farm life - cattle, fowl, other livestock, fresh produce etc...

Managing 10 acres

We are looking at a 10 acre property. We love the house but the property has fully manicured lawns and gardens needing lots of work. We are retired and don't want to spend our days just keeping a good lawn. We want to minimise man hours with maybe a few sheep and perhaps plant lots of bushes to cut down the amount of acres needing work. There is a small established vege garden some fruit trees and a chook pen.

Agisting Cattle - how do I go forward from here.

For a couple of years we have agisted cattle - initially we did this instead of purchasing our own as we were regularly travelling overseas for months at a time. However now we are here most of the year. We have hilly country but are inexperienced with mustering cattle.

Having cattle agisted on the property has been useful in growing our experience by watching the owner interact with the cattle for drenching, mustering etc. The owner musters by horses and his dogs.
