Agree with those who say you are most likely aiming too high in terms of tractor. Prepare a budget and project from that what your operation would finance. Can no till be successfully used? Are there such operations near by that you can study? If the soil is fairly loamy and well drained that will mean less trips over the field during planting season versus clay based soils. For a time when I was school aged we handled 200 acres in the spring with a JD 4010 diesel tractor. Ground was fall plowed in those days and the tillage equipment was under 15 feet in width. Did not have to run all hours of the day to get things done. Calculate the number of hours needed in terms of tractor time to prepare the seedbed using tools sized for it. I would think in terms of lowest hours on a considered purchase even if it might be a tad bit older but maybe also from a reputable operation.
