See if you can find yourself an IH 424 or 444. Built in the 60s and early 70s, these tractors are utility style with 3 point hitch, around 36-38 PTO HP. They came in both gas and diesel versions. Live PTO was an option as was power steering. So hunt for a gas version with powersteering and live PTO. It will all the work you need on your 35 acres. It will easily handle a 6 ft rotary cutter (Bush Hog) and a 6 ft blade to fix your driveway. You should be able to get a good one for around $4000, maybe less. This is a little more than you likely can get a Ford 8N for, but you will have twice the tractor. The gas versions are usually a little less than the diesels. These are a tough old tractor and a lot are still in use.
