Thanks for the advice so far. There must be another lmccoy on here I do not recall talking about hills. LOL Since this is my first time on the boards. :)
My grandfather had a AC 6080 with cab, loader, and front wheel assist. I have to admit I hated the thing. For one it was huge, the clutch was hard on your leg muscles when using the bucket to load poop, and the levers for the bucket were a pain always getting stuck in one position or another. As long as the snow did not get over a foot in one wack I get by pretty good with D-15 actually prefered it to do chores and whatever else I could.
I have been looking into Massey fergusons. The first one I ever seen was reburbsihed and sold for $5400 on an auction. It was I think about 35-40 HP I do not remember which one. Those tractors look like they could hit a tree and not have but a scratch. I have lots of trees on my farm. LOL
Anyways, I will keep all of your suggestions in mind as I am looking. My nieghbor has a JD 2020 I have drove and I liked it pretty well.I guess I should look for something that is for the better part economical on gas or diesel. I do not need bells and whistles and can live without a cab I just bundle up really good and make sure I feed cattle on warmer days that are not 20-50 below. :)
Another thing I should look into is round balers. My grandfather had a New Holland 849 that I have used. I did alright with it and had to get use to how it rolled up bales. It did not like fluffy light hay and the bales were kind of puffy as I would call them. Any suggestions there on what has worked for anyone would be appreciated.Thanks again.

Today's Featured Article - New Hitches For Your Old Tractor - by Chris Pratt. For this article, we are going to make the irrational and unlikely assumption that you purchased an older tractor that is in tip top shape and needs no immediate repairs other than an oil change and a good bath. To the newcomer planning to restore the machine, this means you have everything you need for the moment (something to sit in the shop and just look at for awhile while you read the books). To the newcomer that wants to get out and use the machine for field work, you may have already hit a major roadblock. That is the dreaded "proprietary hitch". With the exception of the
