What size compact tractor do you actually need?

It’s one of the most common questions we’re asked — and getting it wrong can be expensive.

Here’s a simple guide:

🔹 1–3 acres / large gardensA smaller compact tractor is usually ideal. Easy to manoeuvre, simple to store, and more than capable of routine maintenance.

🔹 3–10 acres / smallholdingsA mid-range compact tractor gives you more lifting power and versatility for attachments.

🔹 Equestrian yards / sports groundsLoader work, arena levelling and regular topping often require something more robust and reliable for daily use.

The right choice depends on:

• The jobs you’re doing

• How often you’ll use it

• Storage space

• Operator experience
