Wow, there is an opened ended question with just enough info to start a fight.
Flat lander, hills, sand,loam or clay? Dry or wet? Snow? Do you have a shop and are you handy repairing equipment? How many hours a year? Do you prefer to purchase cheap now and pay the price of the new tractor over the next 5-15 years in parts? Local dealer(s)? Brand loyalty. As soon as you said loader/backhoe work or ploughing in clay. Ford toy ford N series is out of consideration. While I bleed green those Massey 35/135/235/65/165/265 do ok.

Lots of postings here however of Joe Farmer of 30,40 50 years rolling his tractor on top of himself.

Well figure the total $$$ spent and retained value over the next 10-20+ years.
