Iseki Compact Tractor Loader advice

We've got a small Iseki compact tractor (TS2500) on our small holding (30 acres) which suits the work its needed for really well but now I really want to put a loader on to it to make things a little easier with general jobs However Im not sure where to go and what type/model I would need and what will fit, I don't really want to buy new as they are really expensive and so happy to wait to find the right one but I just don't know what will work, what will fit etc. someone previously said a Lewis or a MX Chiltern loader but again not sure.
I would really welcome your experience/knowledge/advice.
Thank you
 
You'll struggle to find a used one without having one adapted from another tractor.

Most economical way may be to buy a tractor with loader fitted and sell yours or buy the same tractor that already has a loader fitted and swap it onto your tractor - if you can find one.

What jobs are you wanting it for?
Will a rear linkage loader not do your job? Or even rear pallet forks

thanks for the reply and honesty.
Jobs would be lifting/moving bales/muck, some groundwork/levelling, and general moving things around etc
Hadn't considered a read linkage loader, but not had any experience with these either - any thoughts (i know its cheeky)

Having looked up your tractor, with the best will in the world you won't move a round bale with a loader or even a rear spike on a 25hp compact tractor.

They don't have the weight behind them to lift a lot.

Buy a Fordson Major or similar with a loader on it for moving bales if you want cheap grunt.

What @TripleSix said. On both counts.
It'll be a needle in a haystack job finding a specific loader for that tractor

An old rough terrain forklift can be had £1500-2000 which would compliment the tractor adequately
