Hello 👋

I’ve been told I maybe able to get a grant for a tractor and other things I know what I want.

I have zero idea what is available tractor wise.
I know I want a general use one. 1 that’s smaller and can have attachments to plough, harrow, rolls, cut, turn and bale hay. And I can have a bucket on the front to pick up feeds and hay.

Can I pick brains please as I have no clue and don’t want to get this wrong. There’s zero way I’ll ever be able to afford to buy a tractor unless I win the lottery that I don’t play 😜

What's your budget?

Sorry I can't help as we drive a little Siromer and an ancient David Brown. However, if this doesn't pan out, you can do worse than to buy second hand, more likely 4th or 5th hand!
