Hi All,

We're going in circles with our quad / lawn tractor / compact decision.
90% of use at the moment will be topping an acre or so but access is steep, so it's likely to need something AWD. However I know over the next few years we're going to have a number of jobs where a mini digger will be required. I'm also expecting horses in the future (two daughters) so a loader for moving muck and bales will be helpful. Seems like 10 weekly mini digger and dumper rentals over the next few years will soon add up, plus the faf of getting it dropped over every time.

There's a 1750 near us with a Lewis loader and excavator with 1700hrs on it for ?8k, which seems crazy money for a 1750 but with the Lewis attachments it seems not awful?

Honestly, I'm just fed up of looking!
