I know this has been asked before, but the threads I can find are for a much more expensive price bracket! We have 3 acres and are hoping to get another 7 acres shortly. That will mainly be grazed, but will need something to work with. We currently have a 4x4 quad, but to be honest I hate riding it, and so plan to sell it. The question is to replace with a compact tractor or a classic tractor. I have limited knowledge of tractor mechanics, but am compatent with a spanner etc. The budget is £2500 max. Thats only for the tractor, but puts us firmly in the old and maybe knackered range!! Any thoughts appreciated.
