Hi there, I'm just wondering if anyone has had problems with the governor or injector pump on a Daedong (Kioti) DK 35 and if so was there a reasonably simple cure. The machine is not reving to its full revs when the throttle is fully open and when it idles it idles about 100 to 200 revs lower than what it should. 

Hi All,

From what I have read so far on the site, its really interesting, helpfull and a great site.  Just to tell you a bit about myself and why I am here.

Originally from Melbourne and moved to the south of Tassie, I've always wanted a small farm for myselfg, wife and my 2 boys to live on.  Well we just rented our place out and we bought a 5.8 acre farm on level ground.  It came with 4 sheep which the owners named "Living lawn mowers".

Hi,

my husband and I purchase last Nov a 108 acres of what is my dream property.            The previous owner was running just over 400 sheep right up to the day until the sale was finalised,  naturally,  everything was overgrazed.     The 2 existing dams he assured us they were exceptional, ( 1 being 2 yrs old) and the creek had water in it 80% of the year.   Neither true.

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.

Hi new to the site.

My wife and I are looking into starting our own small hobby farm.

we are looking at Tasmainia. We want to do bees for honey for us and to sell. We want to do chooks for us and to sell. and some fruit trees for us and to sell. and we want to try wild mushrooms and maybe a few goats for meat if room permits. Proble is we want all this and don't know where to start. or how big of a block we need. any help would be good on all my topics.

Thanks Craig

Hi

I have a 4 year old doe who was not hand reared and is rather feisty.  As with my other 3 goats, I must trim her hooves regularly and at the moment she is in desperate need of a pedicure, walking on the sides of her feet.  Problem is that Princess has a rather nasty nature when you try to handle her and I don't have a holding yard or head bail.  Man handling has been the only option but this only perpetuates the problem.  

I'm trying to find a place to buy meat rabbits.
I'm espescially keen on rex rabbits (for fur and meat)
