I did the same thing as you are about to do, move back to the country to raise my kids. Not sure of you budget but you may want more than one tractor, especially with 6 kids. What I did was first bought a Ford 8N. It did what I needed it too but it was too small for some jobs and no live power. I then bought a Bobcat skid steer with a bucket, forks and PHD.
