Need sub-compact tractor recommendations

Over the next two years I'm planning a lot of landscaping, including stone and decking, bedding and outdoor kitchen. Front yard, side yard, back yard. I live on a slight hill with elevation rise, front to back of about 12'.
I don't want dump trucks backing up my driveway and potentially cracking it, so I'll need to move loads from the curb, so, at minimum, I need to use it with a small loader, but preferably, can add a backhoe and/or an auger.
Anyone have one they use and can recomnend?

John Deere make a 1023E and 1025R. Both a good little tractors. We have one and it does everything we ask it to do.
I think Mahendra makes one as well.

Mahindra with the Mitsubishi diesel is one of the finest farm toys I've ever bought.
The only failure I've had in 7 years is the neck for the fuel tank developed cracks in it about two years in. It was a visually perfect weld, but seemed to have poor penetration. But I did have an ammo can of tools balanced on it
A new tank was 260 bucks.
While waiting for the tank, I used a small amount of jb water weld. Popped the neck off. Placed it on there and stuck it bank down. I still have a brand new tank sitting on the shelf 5 years later.
Put a full size blade or box grader on the rear, and it has enough arse to lift just about anything.

The good folks on the Outdoor Board would probably be able to help

We have a little over 11 acres and I bought a Kubota L3301 with front end loader, rotary cutter, and box blade last june and absolutely love it. Most major tractor manufacturers have 5 years no interest financing also.

Kubota has the BEST post sales service. Big dealership in Donaldsonville and other towns in South La. Highly recommend.
