Hi, I’m a bit of a newby and any advice would be appreciated. Basically, I have a 7.25 acre small holding and have been told that it would be wise to use a contractor at first, but I’ve got a budget to buy a used compact tractor and am looking at these two models with finishing mowers:

Apart from saving myself a grand with the Iseki, I’ve been told that Kubota have reliability. Is it worth shelling out extra money for a Kubota, or do I simply go with the cheaper option if it does the same job?

Bought mine recently from Beckside Machinery. Even rang me back on a bank holiday Sunday when he was obviously with his family. Would recommend him
