Your tractor choice sounds good. I'd pick a TW-20 Blue, 1086 Red, or JD 4440 Green - just for a workable cab on them. The 1066 will be a good puller basicly the same as the 1086, they do not have the best tranny for a chore tractor, but good cheap hp for pulling moderate size implements.

I'd say you can do 200-300 acres pretty well, 400 acres is really going to pull at you. 100 of hay is a major operation needing a lot of time - I think that will be the biggest challenge to you for time.

You'll need your equipmnent in real good shape to run 400 acres on a limited budget & limited time. My concern is that you want to buy a smoker, & then run about the maximum acres that animal can handle. Could be a little much.

Can you do minimum till in your area? That would be a _great_ direction for you, if it works for you. Here I can't get in the fields until June if I don't till, but sure would cut down on time without it.
