For snow blowing, you _need_ live pto. For baling hay, you _really want_ live pto.

You may have a difficult time meeting your budget & finding a usable tractor for hay & snow removal. You also need the implements...

Often times a larger, 60 hp or so, tractor is going cheaper these days than the small utility types. There are many people like you these days that are driving up the price of 25-40 hp tractors. You may wish to look at something a bit bigger than others are looking at.

Doesn't really matter what color you get, what is important is the features. You will like:

Live pto & hydraulics
Power steering
3 point hitch
Wide front end

More than 30hp for hay.
More than 40hp for a haybine.
A heavier tractor for pulling a baler & hayrack, or more than 50hp for a round baler.

You don't need everything, and you won't get it for $2000. But, it's a starting list...
