There are typically older gas farm tractors, 1930s through 1950s. They lack features and safety features and take some work to keep running, but are simple.
There are newer farm tractors, 1950s to 1980s with better features. There often have much nicer features as live hydraulics, live pto, power steering, more gear selection, and so forth came to be.
There are modern compact diesel tractors from 1980s through now. These tend to be light weight and Asian made, but many have good features and a dependable Diesel engine.
Kinda depends what you really want. Sit on it and use it, go with the compact, your budget is low for a dependable one.
The middle age farm actors would probably suit you best, but agsin might need a little more money.
The oldest tractors need to be a labor of love, and are going to lack some features you will expect are common, but were not back then. A person could replace 2 horses with an 8N, but then horses r only power, thy didnt o my of the adjusting, sting, lifting, etc. that as still all on the operating..... o umrstand whst you are getting with th real old machines.
There have to be several 100 models, probably thousands or models of tracks you can pick from, so w wont every be able to give you a top 10 list. It just depends your level of need and your comfort level at working on them yourself, and on what you find.
A loader you really want live hydraulic and power string. And I grew up and still hav a load Tate that doesnt have either, so I know it can be done. But....
If you run a snow blower you really want live pto, and several reverse gears to pick from. Live pto is so much nicer for anything that uses the pto.....
And so forth. You can get by, or you can have nice to use. Those things are your choice, what are you happy with.
