GlenC, Tiller may be difficult. When I checked on a tiller for an old ford, I would have get something in the 900 series, something that could go very slow, SOS, live pto. I found the price of a tractor and tiller got out of sight.
I found a 15 year old 17 hp John Deer garden tractor with a 30 inch tiller, hydrostatic drive, 48 inch mower for $1500. Works great. The price of a new tiller is north of $1500
Trying to find just one tractor that can do everything you want may prove to be difficult.
The price of an add on a loader and hoe, may be more than you can buy a backhoe for. My experience with add-ons is the hydraulics is very slow.
My Jubilee has no problems with a 12 inch PHD. But you put a loader on it and you'll have problem, no power steering. The front end isn't strong enough to put a lot of weight in loader.
I have pics of someone who added a hoe to a Massey 35. Broke the top link off the tractor.
You may find it better and cheaper to have more than one tractor. It's like doing wood working. There isn't one perfect tool to do everything, saw, plane, drill, miter, crosscut, rip, joint. I think the same is true with tractors. I have 3 tractors, a 1950 IH C, 53 Jubilee, and Terramite T5C hoe. Each can to something better than the other. I can't see all three tractors rolled in to just one. Not to mention, Today, I used the ford and T5C. I wouldn't want to remove the hoe just so I could use a grader blade to level dirt.
Just my $.02 here.
Like you I only want only gas tractors, that makes it even harder to find all the things you want rolled in to one tractor. Post back and let us know what you buy
