A 9700 would be just fine for what you want to do. CRP ground usually has heavy growth on it and would make a mower work hard. I have a 8600 and a 9600, both good tractors. Never been around a 9700 but I know they replaced the 9600 and are a comparable 130 hp and a much nicer modern cab. IMO, better to have excess HP than to constantly overload a smaller tractor. My 8600 runs a 16' hydroswing in the summer and feeds bales in the winter. Used it on my JD 6' rotary mower and the tractor doesn't know the mower is back there powerwise. The 9600 has a 9' Waldon dozer and is also a winter chore tractor. I'm thinking you could probably buy that nice 9700 for $7-9K. If it is in the condition you say I would go for it.
