If I had that kind of money, I'd buy a nice older (60's or 70's) model John Deere 3020 or 4020. Gobs of power and easy to drive. Parts all over the place. Put a double spindle 8 foot mower on the back and groom the pastures. Either one would take a 12 to 15 foot bat wing mower if you can find a good deal.

I have 9 acres for the horses, use a 60's model IHC B 414, 36 PTO horsepower and a 6 foot mower. Does everything I want it to do and only cost about $2000.

Utility tractors might be somewhat more what you are looking for rather than the typical farm tractor used for raising row crops. They are a tad bit easier to move in the tight spots.

I happen to be prejudiced against the N series Fords, but do like the 2000, 3000, 4000 and 5000 series tractors for the same reason that I like the John Deeres earlier mentioned.

Good luck with the new place for your ponies. I sure like having mine around.
