Another tractor to consider might be the IH offset tractors(Super A, Farmall 140, etc.) IMHO thses tractors have good power, are reliable and easy to maintain. The are gas powered but would not be too hard on fuel consumption for most work. Typicaly the tractor has a lift under the belly for cultivators and the like, as well as a rear lift. The rear lift can be either 3pt or fast hitch. Some companys (Agri-Supply) still make fast hitch implements for these tractors, or there are many places to get 3pt conversions. The belly lift would allow you to use a belly mounted mower if you like. With the cultivators it will also help you grow a mean garden! The only two drawbacks are there is no live PTO, and I don"t think it would be that practical to try to fit a loader. We tended to around six acres of property(mowing, discing, grading, etc.)for many years with a Farmall 140. Good luck and have fun!
