If you go a little bit larger than a Ford N and stay away from Deere, there is a sweet spot in dollars per hp. I ended up getting an Oliver 1600, which is like a Cadillac running a baler. Smooth 6 cylinder, 60 hp, independent PTO (better than live), power steering, a TA that doesn't break. It's a little too big for mowing and snow plowing (I have a Ford Jubilee for that), but a great tractor for haying. I got it for $2600 and put another $400 fixing it up. In much of the country that's what you would pay for an N. I also looked at a Farmall 560 which was in the same price range, but it wasn't as comfortable as the Oliver.
