do you have any problems with poaching?
Going back on this made me think a bit and over the years we’ve had a few orphan animals that we or others have picked up whether due to poaching or other reasons i am not sure but we have had an orphan zebra i raised on calf milk replacer. A monkey that used to go everywhere with us until it got out the car during a school rugby match and headed across the field looking for my son. A porcupine that loved potatoes but died when it was fed rice (it must have had Lincolnshire in it) and for a shortwhile a leopard cub which would have eaten us if it han’t been the size of a cat. Unfortunately these animals usually come to a sticky end so we dont’t go out of our way anymore to pick them up it’s best nature takes its course.

Greased the outside of replacement. Didn't look like that 1 had been turning.

But no I don't oil them. I'm going to go to 1 ball per machine. 4m combi and 3t fert spreader bound to be hard on them.
I’ve a set on each bit of kit I use. i oil the plough one as it helps the pin slide in the slotted hole better, fingers crossed not buggered one for about 3 years now

Interesting that you have wildlife without hunters paying to hunt, many times we are told without hunting dollars paying for anti-poaching there would be no wildlife left? Keep posting the pictures great to see.

We are lucky to be where we are. Hunting only benefits a few it’s big money but it doesn’t get shared around plus there are a lot of conservation conmen around. Kenya has really struggled due to the lack of tourism due to Covid and as such if people lose there jobs and wildlife doesn’t make money it and its environment will come under pressure
