Smallest tractor that can handle 1000kg on a loader?

Our Kubota ME5700 will handle a ton on the front loader no problem. It's also a very handy tractor with an excellent turning circle, you simply won't beat Kubota for tight turning with 4wd.

That looks like the sort of machine I had in mind.

I had a Yanmar ym1610 that would piss that with a loader on, especially if you’d had left the flail on the back

Hi Beau, my Same which you know, would be good with a ton on the front but still needs weight on the back ideally to be the boss of it. It’s only 8ft high so would get into your sheds and is also big enough to be doing useful stuff elsewhere- timber trailer, good hydraulics etc... would have thought it’d suit your yard well- if you want you can have a go with it in your yard see if it suits.

To add I think any tractor under 3 ton is going to need some ballast on the back to safely handle a ton

Would a tractor with a rear forklift be any good? Can handle weight better on the rear but perhaps the cricked neck would end up doing your head in! Seen this old girl with a forklift on the back and got me https://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/SAME-LEOPARD/112690498428?_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIM.MBE%26ao%3D2%26asc%3D49587%26meid%3D85c261988fd441d09880a9e9e6d32c1b%26pid%3D100890%26rk%3D6%26rkt%3D8%26mehot%3Dpp%26sd%3D302561227494&_trksid=p2056116.c100890.m2460://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/SAME-LEOPARD/112690498428?_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIM.MBE%26ao%3D2%26asc%3D49587%26meid%3D85c261988fd441d09880a9e9e6d32c1b%26pid%3D100890%26rk%3D6%26rkt%3D8%26mehot%3Dpp%26sd%3D302561227494&_trksid=p2056116.c100890.m2460

Why not look for a rear mast for your current tractor will work out cheaper than a whole new tractor 

And a small rotator shouldnt be 500kg i can drag one round the floor easy enough so would guess no more than 200 kg 

This is a scrap yard type not a potato box type

I have a YM1600, and while it's a bit less powerful and a bit lighter than yours, I wouldn't want to lift 1000KG with it! A 185KG mower on the back can be a bit of a handful on slopes, with 40KG of front weights.

I have been looking for something with the same spec as well.

Have considered an older david brown or a mf 165, or simular,  but still not sure
