joe, here's my idea. 5 acres notwithstanding, i wouldn't settle for anything like a farmall c or ford naa. you might as well have a farmall 300 or better, with independent pto plus live hydraulics to run a haybine or spreader tailgate. i have 2 560's, gas and diesel, both with live hydraulics, independent pto and fast hitch, and neither one cost $3000. so its doable on your budget. a 300 should cost even less.
another thing, my dad had both a farmall 300 and international 300 utility when i was growing up. if we wanted to get stuck easy, take the utility. my brother and i called it the traction master. even the super c would go places the utility wouldn't go. the utility steering box was another trouble spot, with it carrying a loader. fwiw. i know there's a bunch of guys here that love their 300 utilities. they are handy, but i think there are better choices. a little more power and features than you need is certainly better than settling for just enough, when its in the budget.
