What sort of price range would the bigger iseki tractors be? I see they have one that's 67hp with a loader that would be a hell of a handy tractor round a yard and would be big enough to use most of my older implements

Didn't know they made a tractor this big. Had a quick look on FB Marketplace and saw this 2010 model....What sort of price range would the bigger iseki tractors be?

I didn't see that model on the website. 75hp at that price for that age tractor needs some serious consideration on a livestock farm.

Certainly does seem attractively priced and very nippy around buildings and for lighter grassland tasks.

Would also like to think they are economic on fuel too.

Might be worth looking at orchard tractors if it is small you are after.
My SAME 100F cost me ÂŁ12k 2nd hand, 2009 model, 95hp, 40k, air con, 3 spools (as in 3 hyd levers), manual box with electric shuttle fwd/rev , two speed pto,
Goes like a go cart on the road, very powerful, will lift a ton on the arms (will lift plenty more than that if you can keep the front wheels on the floor) It is smaller than my IH674
It is an awful lot of tractor for what I paid.

But the real question to be answered, is what are you wanting to do with it?
Great kit!!
I saw some bloody awesome alpine tractors in the Tyrol 9-10 years ago similiar to your Same, but these were 150-200hp things, being used for pulling ridiculous loads in the orchards and similiar on slopes that would make a Welsh hill farmer question the sanity of farming there!!

Look at the 2 best makes and how far away their dealers are.
HST might struggle on really heavy draft if moling in pipe, but great for the other tasks. I found my 50hp struggled with a moling leg.

All depends on who Kev gets on with
The 4 equal wheel machines?
I always fancied a Carraro 4400 HST, but I have had enough of Italian tractors now....

Was originally looking at a Kioti myself, 40-50hp. Sale came up local with an offer I couldn't refuse so went with a Foton which I can't complain about. Having had it for several months now I'm thinking I should have gone for a 75hp orchard tractor instead, just that little bit more comfort and edge. But then again if I would have gone for that I would have probably looked longingly at a 100hp tractor and thought what if . . . In the end its only about will it do what you need it to do and then stop moaning, but I do look at the Massey Ferguson 3700 brochure more than is actually good for me,

Hi Kevtherev
Have you looked at the McCormick X2 range, it’s a proper little fruit tractor and not just a compact, sold mainly for orchard and specialist applications here in the UK, We McCormick UK are running a demo unit, it should arrive next week into the UK, ask HJR at Oswestry for a demo of it. All McCormick tractors from 49-310 HP Sold with 0% finance

Think you have answered your own question.
How about this,
It was also sold rebadged as a TCE in New Holland colours, I used one for a few days and was quite impressed, it was possible to fit front linkage + pto and a loader to them. It felt like a solid and proper tractor, not an over blown lawn mower, these also has proper gears not HST, It was stable enough to allow a colleague to use a small hedge cutter with one.
It looks like its current equivalent is the x2 as described above.
