Personally, i think a compact is too light duty for what you want to do. I think you should look at a smaller "real" farm tractor. You need a tractor with iron in it for rough loader use!
Around here the Massey compacts give you the most tractor for the $$ spent, and still have some nicer features.

A farm tractor isn't priced much higher than a compact either!
