Hello. This is my first post. I'm buying 10 acres (wish it was more but it's a start) and finally following my dream of moving my kids from small town to the country so they can grow up like i did. We're not planning anything too big and crazy but looking to be fairly self sufficient. Have a few cows, pigs, chickens, and a decent sized garden. We have 6 kids and looking to minimize the grocery bill. I've been looking at tractors and could use some more experienced suggestions. Would like something a little older so it's easier to work on, and easier on my wallet. Big enough to run a brush hog, tiller, post hole digger, etc... but small enough to get around trees as about half of my soon to be land is about half pasture and half wooded.

And of course a front end loader would be nice to have
I grew up on a dairy farm, no expert by any means but not a stranger to tractors and equipment. I have found plenty that are in the ballpark of 50hp and the right size for 5' implements or that are bigger and have a loader. Having a terrible time condone one that has all 3.

My Dad was wanting to put in a garden but couldn't operate the 8N and handle the old horse drawn plow he had found and rigged up to use with the tractor. Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o
