Title: compact small tractor for home site use
Post by: Vince on June 14, 2016, 11:30:20 pm

Hello.
 I am looking for a small compact tractor. I am looking at a Solis 26hp with loader.  Has anyone any informatiom or experience with these small tractors?  I will more than likely buy new unless I find somethig special on the secondhand market.  Thank you all and I await your helpful responses.
Regards.  Vince

Hi, I just spotted your post as I had posted similar question today about solis.  I like the look of them but don't know much about them and it's hard to find info on net.  A farmer on another site said to try contacting tunstalls as they had sold a few mid range models to a big dairy farm and they had no issues.  Prices are good for these but it's all about reliability and parts availability.  My local dealer assured me that parts in uk are well stocked and if not here are shipped in 48hrs from India. Would be nice to confirm from someone independent though....

Let me know if you find any good info or buy one
