Before anyone can give your a good recomendation what are your tractor skills? and repair skills?

If you new to this and have limited repair skills, I would purchase a used Kubota BX2200 that you can get for around $10,000 used with a loader and 60" belly finishing mower. It will only be a couple of years old and starts fairly easy in the winter. You might have to add a block heater in the really cold days. This is a good starter tractor for you to get use to and learn about. Take a look at Northern Tool, Homers or TSC from the bush hog and box scraper.

After you get fimilar with this one go after a big one with a cab for those cold days. For your second tractor I'd look at a regular row crop tractor around 100hp with a cab like a JD 4230, IH 966, White 2-105, Ford 8600. Color wars sometimes determine the tractor Green, Red, Silver, or Blue.

If your good with tractors you'll make the right choice
