Do you need a tractor to help work the farm? Or are you looking for a toy to play with on the weekends? For 20 acres with 15 in pasture, a little cleaning up and simple clearing, all you need is a small 35 HP farm tractor, not a compact. Be sure to get live PTO and 3 point hitch. You can live without hydraulics. You don't need 4x4 or a front end loader. Gas is much simplier than diesel and easy to start in the winter. I'd suggest a wide front. Much safer in my opinion.
A perfect tractor is a MF 35 or similar in a variety of brands. Lots around in good shape.
That tractor, a 5 ft bushog, a pond scoop to carry dirt. a grader blade, a good log chain and a chain saw will get you by. You will also need a pickup truck and a small trailer. If you need to seed and fertilize pastures you may need an old disc and a cone spreader for seed and fertilizer.
Lots of farmers with more acreage have survived with that or less.
