You should be able to find a decent smaller "utility" tractor in the 45 - 55 hp range. Personally I like older Massey Fergusons (MF)and Fords, only because that's what we've used in our family. IH, Oliver and JD also made good old tractors. The MF 165 Diesel (52 hp pto) is built tough as nails and reliable. Like others have said the Ford 4000 and 5000 are real nice too. The good thing about the older Ford and MF tractors are they are easy to operate and maintain, manuverable, and parts are easy to get. Another good choice is a late 1970's MF 255 (52 hp pto) or MF 265 (61 hp pto), better hydraulics and wet disc brakes. Regardless of your choice you should get a diesel. Larger tractors > 75 hp can be found too but they are more difficult to use for mowing and manuevering about for chores. Most implements you see at TSC and other farm stores are for category 1 hitch systems, so a larger cat. 2 size tractor may not work as well using the more common new and used implements you'll be needing (rotary mower (bush hog), post hole auger,scraper blade, etc..
