What Is Better for Farming – a Mini-Tractor or a Quad Bike (ATV) ?

I have a 2 acre property on the Gold Coast. I am soon to farm this with orchards and vegetable gardens. The property has roughly a 20* slope and it grassed. The machinery would need to be able to pull a small trailer and if possible be able to mow the lawn. I dont want to spend more than 00 (2nd Hand). My Question is this… should I purchase a Quad bike (ATV) or a miniature tractor? It needs to be able to drive to the top of the hill at a steady pace.

Also – if an ATV is the best option – what cc do I need to get?

On last note – if possible I would love to be able to use the vehicle in a fun way (ie ride it around, jumps etc)

    If you are going to get a quad, and plan on pulling a trailer, make sure you get a larger one. At least 200cc +. If a tractor, get a larger tractor of at least 18 HP for a small one, or A medium tractor,that has regular tractor wheels and tires.

    well for the farming part i would go with a small tractor because of the attachments but you will end up in the emergency room if you try jumping the tractor

    Tractors have a 3 point hitch for implements such as mowers and rakes. There is no place to put a mower deck on an atv.
