Get something with live pto, live hydraulics, and power steering. A 3pt hitch is a plus. A row-crop tractor is stable enough for loader use if you use some sense, and they tend to be a lot cheaper in the midwest. Condition and parts availability should be of prime consideration, moreso than what color it is. The Ford model may be a little light for any serious field work. An old Farmall M will do it all, but lacks the live power options. For what you describe, if you run across a Farmall 460 or 504 in good condition, give it strong consideration!
