Solis 20 Compact Tractor – 20hp 4WD All-Rounder for Small Holdings and Groundcare
Light, agile and built for real work.
The Solis 20 Compact Tractor is a small but capable 4WD machine designed for owners who need dependable performance in tight spaces. Whether you run a small holding, equestrian yard, landscaping business or larger garden estate, the Solis 20 Compact Tractor delivers practical power in a very manoeuvrable package.
Compact Power from a Mitsubishi Diesel Engine
At its heart, the Solis 20 Compact Tractor is powered by a 3-cylinder Mitsubishi MLV-3E water-cooled diesel engine, delivering 20hp from 952cc at 2,700 rpm. This setup provides smooth, usable torque for topping, towing and yard work rather than just headline power.
Because the engine is simple, proven and efficient, the Solis 20 Compact Tractor stays economical to run and straightforward to maintain, which is ideal for private owners and smaller professional fleets.
4WD Traction with Simple, Easy-Use Gears
The Solis 20 Compact Tractor uses 4-wheel drive, so it has much better grip on wet grass, loose soil and light slopes. As a result, this compact tractor feels confident on paddocks, tracks and light off-road tasks.
You get 6 forward and 2 reverse gears through a straightforward mechanical gearbox. Therefore, you can choose a sensible working speed for mowing, scraping or towing without over-complicating operation. A single clutch with safety switch adds protection while still keeping the driveline simple and predictable.
Manoeuvrable Size for Yards, Gateways and Arenas
Because the Solis 20 Compact Tractor is genuinely compact and light, it fits easily through narrow gateways, stable yards and garden access points. With an approximate turning radius of 2.3m, the tractor turns sharply in confined spaces, which helps around buildings, trees, fencing and arenas.
Meanwhile, its weight of around 885kg keeps ground pressure low, so it is kinder to turf and finished surfaces than larger machines — particularly on lawns and paddocks.
PTO and Hydraulics Ready for Attachments
Despite its modest size, the Solis 20 Compact Tractor is fully equipped for implements. It comes with a 540 / 540E PTO, allowing you to run finishing mowers, toppers, small flails, paddock cleaners and other light PTO equipment efficiently.
On the rear, you get three-point CAT I linkage with a 500kg lift capacity, plus a 1SA hydraulic control unit with flow and pressureless return. Consequently, the Solis 20 Compact Tractor can work with rear scrapers, box graders, light cultivation tools and other small attachments used on small holdings and private properties.
Operator Comfort and Practical Details
Although the Solis 20 Compact Tractor is a compact machine, it still focuses on operator comfort. You get an adjustable sprung seat with safety belt and an illuminated dashboard, so working in low light or during longer days feels more manageable.
Additionally, there is a 12V 65Ah battery, a 7-pin trailer socket and a 26-litre fuel tank, which all help keep the tractor practical in everyday use. Tyres are typically front 5.00 x 12 and rear 8.00 x 18, with Agricultural, Turf or Industrial tread options, so you can choose the best setup for paddocks, lawns or harder surfaces.
