I would say you will want to be looking at something in at least the 40HP + range preferably a wide front (better stability for he loader). As for a brand most any of them are really good it will depend alot on your budget.In the older tractors Olivers had live PTO for a long time when alot of the others didn't but if your wanting something from the mid to late 50's and up I think mos of of the brands had it by then along with a three point of some kind.

parts availability is really good on the farmalls,deeres, fords, and A-C's and decent on the others. A comparable John Deere will usually be priced a little higher as they hold their value really well.

You can get by with alot less but I would hink something along the lines of say 770 or bigger Oliver,506-606 or bigger IH, 165-180 A-C, or something around a 2520? or bigger Deere would work really well.

If you are thinking about something newer look into a Kubota,New McCormick,Long, or new holland along with the others.
