Opinions are like belly buttons. Everybody's got one! My first place on acreage was a 3 acre place.I bought a used JD435D (had a Gimmy 2-51 engine in it)rated at 29 hp as I recall. I thought it was too big when I bought it but I found out better. My point is you'll end up needing more horsepower and more weight to do some of the things you are talking about doing and find yourself underpowered with the under 20 hp compact tractors. The old Ford's and Ferguson's at about 25-30 Hp are just about right but you really want something with live hydraulics. The MF 35 or 135 fit in that category. A Ford 3600 or a 3910 (little bigger)might do as well as some others in the 30 to 35 Hp range. hope this helps. Good Luck
