Sub Compact Tractors For Sale – Powerful, Versatile & Built for Small Properties
Farmers Equipment stocks sub compact tractors from Kubota, John Deere, Massey Ferguson, Bobcat, Kioti, and Mahindra all ranging from 18 to 28 HP, ready to work on properties from 1 to 10 acres. Whether you’re a first-time buyer or adding to your fleet, a subcompact tractor gives you real farm capability in a compact, easy-to-operate package at a fraction of full-sized tractor costs. Starting from $5,500.
What Is a Sub Compact Tractor?
A sub compact tractor sits between a riding mower and a full compact tractor typically 18–28 HP with a three-point hitch, PTO shaft, and hydraulic system. That means it runs real attachments for real work: front loaders, backhoes, mower decks, snow blowers, box scrapers, and post-hole diggers.
It’s the right machine for 1–10 acre properties where a full-sized tractor is overkill but a riding mower isn’t enough. Most models use hydrostatic transmission no clutch, no gear shifting making them easy for any operator to use from day one.
Top Sub Compact Tractor Brands We Carry
Kubota Sub Compact Tractor
The Kubota BX-series is the benchmark reliable, smooth hydrostatic drive, and excellent resale value. The BX23S (23 HP) comes loader and backhoe ready. Best choice if long-term reliability and strong resale value are your priorities.
John Deere Sub Compact Tractor
The John Deere 1025R (23.9 HP) is a top seller known for comfort, tool-free mower deck conversion, and the strongest dealer network in the industry. Best choice if parts availability and after-sales support matter most to you.
Massey Ferguson Sub Compact Tractor
The GC1725M (24 HP, 18.5 PTO HP) offers proven reliability at a lower price than Kubota or John Deere. A solid middle-ground option for buyers who want quality without paying a premium brand price.
Bobcat, Kioti & Mahindra
Bobcat’s CT1025 is built tough with a 700 lb loader lift capacity great for landscaping work. Kioti offers competitive performance and strong dealer support at budget-friendly prices. Mahindra is the most affordable entry point in the category for light property work.
