I agree with what you have decided about your tractor situation. 8n's are ok to rake with and pull wagons. They can be used for baling and mowing but have serious drawbacks. Plus I cant see how anyone can do an operation that demands timely work gets by with only 1 tractor. I use 3 and have access to 4 more and there are times that I may am down to my last spare (there are times when you dont have 45 minutes to fix a flat tire).

Anything that has live hydraulics and independent PTO should do what you ask. While it is true you can 'get by' you can get what you need for the same money. I'd try for 50+ hp. Plenty of tractors out there, some are over priced for what you get (I can never understand why the 8n's sell as well as they do, add $1000 to them and get a something with what you need plus diesel).
