I would think that anything in the 50-70 hp range should be fine. I can't imagine why you would need 100 hp, or for that matter, even want that for what you're doing. The biggest I've got is a Ford 7710 turned to a little over 100.... and that's going over several hundred acres.
I'd suggest something like a Ford 5610 or 6610 for no reason other than it has a more modern hydraulic system and a few little ammenties like that which go with a modern tractor. Other than that, an old Ford 5000 is damn near bulletproof.... it just doesn't have so much in the hydraulic department. Again, I'm biased towards Ford, but there's lots of others out there.
