I'd sell the horses and move to town. But since your wife is intent on keeping them I'd recomend a modern tractor with 3 point hitch anround 50 HP. forget about the loader as you rely don't need one. don't stack the bales, Like the other guys said it takes a BIG HEAVY TRACTOR to handle heavy bales safely. get a back blade to maintain your driveway. You can angle and tilt the blade and do a nice job. You need to keep a driveway a little higher in the center so rain water runs off. A 2nd choice and maybe one that makes more sense is an old pickup truck with a bale mover bed on it. You can buy the older electric hydraulic bale forks for just a few hundred dollars as all the modern ranchers want the hydraulic beds.
