that is an open question, are you going to use it for arb work, or forestry , or agricultural, 2 come with ticks in all the boxes, one is a money pit, if you use it for arb work, no red diesel, no agri machine free road tax, and an "o" licence, plus the hassle of a very expensive hgv, use for forestry, you might have to prove you are actually working in the forestry industry, not just domestic stuff, has several financial benifits, but abuse them at your own risk, VOSA does check sometimes, agricultural, your mog must have at least a rear pto and 3 point linkage to qualify as an agricultural machine, and be registered as such (even though the name means a tractor ?). Next decision what model do you want, short, long, or extra long, what extras, and how much is your budget, there are good 2nd hand mogs , and there are cheap 2nd hand mogs, but unless you are very very lucky !!!, there are no good cheap ones, for your location Alec Price is probably your first port of call, them atkinson Voss, or chance your arm and try the web. the main advice I would give thoughis research, research, and then when you think you've got it sussed, some more research, Ive been involved with mogs for over 30 years now, and they still fling up some weird things, so you are always learning...lol. good luck in your venture, once you use one you'll never go back to a boring tractor
