My first consideration would be where is the nearest dealer. Parts and service will become an issue somewhere down the road. An inexpensive tractor that requires service from a dealer 75-100 miles away won't stay cheap long.
Secondly a larger tractor 70-100 hp will probably cost less than a 40-50 hp. Everyone wants a small tractor and the prices reflect it.You can probably purchase a 3020 JD,806 Int. or something equivalent in the 6-9K range. It will get your work done faster by the use of somewhat larger equipment 10 foot mower instead of a 6 footer,4-5 bottom plow instead of a 2 or 3 bottom,etc.
Shop around, ask your neighbors,when you find something, ask questions here,there is alot of knowledge on these boards.Just don't get in a big yank and buy the first thing you see,that usually tends to turn around and bite you.
