Managing Bloat on a Small Farm

After this wonderful rain, the paddocks are full of clover. I am wondering what the signs of bloat are, and treatment? Apart from restricting intake, are there any other things we should be doing?

Small Tractor Selection

We purchased our 10 acre property on the Clarence River 18 months ago and purchased a second hand tractor - Deutz 80 hp. We have been able to purchase various implements but not a front loader and 4in 1 bucket. We know the tractor is to big for the property but has worked well on the flat but not stable for the hilly part of our property. Currently we have one horse and have no other plans for the property apart from keeping the paddocks in check and maybe run one or two head of cattle.
