Walking Tractors

what's the fuel consumption like.

Sorry, no idea, I don't use it. It has a 11hp Honda petrol engine, so plenty of power. The next model up has a Lombardini diesel engine, electric start, but it's a fair bit heavier.

I realise that many people have small plots, but honestly the compact tractor is much more useful and not hugely more expensive. Mine has a 21hp Mitsubishi diesel engine, sips fuel, starts every time, 4x4, diff lock, three point hitch, standard 540rpm PTO ( can also be used at different speeds ) etc.

I use a big steel tool safe on the hitch to carry stuff around, for bigger stuff I pull a two ton trailer with it, sometimes both together. It ploughs, rotavates, drags, runs the tedder and windrow, and might ( I'll find out soon ) run the baler too.

You can find one for a bit over £2k.
