First off don't bother with a backhoe.For the money you'll pay for one you can get your backhoe work custom done which comes with an operator that actually can make the backhoe operate like it should and do a nice job.'Everybody' THINKS they can operate a backhoe few really have the skills.
Since you have never owned a tractor I would think you need something operator friendly and I take you don't want an on going mechanical project.Neighbor in your situation bought an AGCO
ST 41 (41HP) with 4WD and a loader real nice tractor that will easily handle what you want it to do.
Its new and he paid $17,000 for it.If you're going to buy used have an independent mechanic throughly check out the tractor as the used tractor market makes the used automobile market look like a Sunday School.Only have to read back
a couple month's worth of post here to see first tractor buyers that were really snuckered hard on their first tractor.
