B&D, that is funny, considering the messages around you. :)
I'd like a 60-100 hp tractor because they are plentiful, and will handle 'fun and interesting' tools you will come across. You can probably handle the farm with less hp, but then if you find a 3pt heavy chisel plow 8 - 10 feet wide, for scrap iron price (as comes up 'here' all the time) you can't buy it and have fun, because you don't have the tractor.
And the 2nd tractor could be in the 35 hp range, little smaller but still get something done with it. Again, you got your tillage hooked onto the big tractor, it is cheaper to find a 4 row planter than a 2 row 'here' so I'd want enough tractor to pull a 4 row planter.
You can go smaller, but it might end up costing you more in implements later. Those 10 acre operations seem to have a lot of money and have driven up the cost of the small implements and tractors.
