    I am looking for a tractor to do topping and spreading fertilizer on a small holding. Land is in west if Ireland so I assume I will need a 4wd. Plan on spending 7-10k. Was looking at hi 895 but not sure if I would be buying trouble. Any advise would be appreciated. Not to worried about comfort. Just mime thing that’s realizable and easy to maintain. What should I look out for when looking. Not that experienced with tractors but need a starting point.

    For topping and spreading fertiliser, I use a MF35.
    I have a bigger tractor for bales and other heavier work bit if you need a tractor for the tasks you mention, then smaller than you suggest, and 2WD should suffice.

    Depends on the land, for that work i used a ford 4600 i picked up for 3 grand, plenty good for light work, ive always had a gra for the same which seem to be priced reasonably enough compared to other 4wd tractors
