I think I want one - we need to replant land where pigs have been and although they've done a brilliant job they whipped up the mud big time. I think that the land needs turning over and then levelling so that we can replant.

Would a 2 wheel tractor be up to the job? It's about 1/2 an acre and we'll need to do it again, and again, and again!!

Anyone got any experience/advice for a novice?

Many thanks.

We had a Pasquali 9hp jobbo (till it got nicked) lovely bit of kit; trailer, plough, rotovator, potato lifter, topper etc.

Used it loads, I reckon our plot might be a bit bigger than 1/2 acre, and it's on a slope. I reckon 9hp should be powerful enough, if you go for a diesel they're heavier, might not be a good idea on soft ground, having said that this one (which I may ned up bidding on) looks good:
