For loader work in that price range I agree with the others that the Ford N series or MF equivalents is the way to go. The MF 35 or 135 with a diesel engine were about as reliable as they come, and can be found at prices in your budget easily. I like farmalls but you don't need the clearance of a row-crop, so a standard (low-setting) tractor with wide-front will be better for what you describe, and much more stable.
I would strongly encourage you to set aside an extra few hundred for a ROPS. I have attached a link for a ROPS rebate program--get 70% of your money back. I do like the classic look of a tractor with no ROPS, but decided it was more important to my wife & kids to be safe. With the rebate your out-of-pocket will be less than $300. They allow self-installs if you take pictures before-and-after. I did this program and they were helpful and easy to work with as long as you are patient while they process your request, which may take a few weeks.
