I am assuming you will be doing a "cut and fill" whereby you are pushing a hill into the valley to fill it up, and that it is not a large valley. Given the fact that you want a useable tractor with 3 point/pto when you get done and want around 50 hp, I would suggest a 656 International, which is the utility version of the 656 Farmall, and a good loader such as a model 2250. A similar setup would be a 544 International with a 2000 series loader.The shorter tractors have a lower center of gravity, better for working on unevevn ground, and a ROPS should be available from a CaseIH dealer (at cost) for the 656 at least. These tractors had a heavy-duty swept back front axle and can really take a beating. I would add a box scraper/scarifier to the 3 point for weight and to help move or loosen the ground as needed. Another route to strongly consider would be buying a small crawler or a TLB to use until the project is done, then sell or trade for the tractor you want.
